Last night was the last meeting of | the town hoard and the council took posession of the city affairs. J. M. Boreing was sworn in as mayor; E. F. Mead as marshal, J. L. Richard- son, Jno. Hartman and W.. Robin- | gon were sworn in asaldermen. The council elected W. H. Mead as city clerk and Jno. Hartman as president of the Board ot Councilmen. W. A. Binegar, a prominent zenof Mt. Zyon, Tabor township, was in the city last Wednesday. Mr. B. reports everything flourishing in that section. He informs us that there will be held a sunday school convention at the Mt. Zion church on Saturday, April1z, and that a very interesting programme has been arranged. Everybody is invited, and they would like to see a good turnout from this place. Itis rumored that the Board of Al- derman intend inaugurating strict laws for the prevention ot boys hang- ing around the depot and switches ot the Mo. Pacific railway and jumping onthe rolling stock of said company, unless on some business. There is a law now 1n force tor this purpose, but we have better tacilities now for making and enforcing laws and we think a strict law should be passed, as some boys will yet get a ride in a hearse, as well as on a railroad train. Rick Hill Review. Henry Kaune shipped two cars of cattle over the Missouri Pacific Mun- day and several cars Tuesday. Rob- ert Hanley also shipped two cars Monday. N. Powell received to-day by ex- press two yery fine young sows of the Duroc Jersey breed. They were bred py the well-known Duroc Jersey Breeder, Frank Craycroft. of Sedaha, Mo.

The park§ are again to be planted with young trees, a few evergreens are tobe added = This will certain— ly be an inducement the ‘‘root- crs” that last season took possession of their umbrageous shade—and everything else that was available-— and the gorgeous grunters will no doubt make the best ot their oppor- tunity, unless the !aw concerning them is ridgidly enforced. About half-past three o’clock last hursday morning the alarm of fire was sounded, and a little latter the signals located it in the fourth fire ward, wlither the fire department atoncerepaired. The conflagration Proved to exist in the residence of Mrs. McGary. The building was Pretty badly damaged, though not entirely destroyed, and most of the turniture was saved. Mrs. McGary, in conversation with our reporter, expressed the belief that the fire was the result of imcendiarism, as she wasup a short time prior to its outbreak and everything about the house at that time seemed to be in proper shape, while at the time of fire a front window of the upper story was noticed to be open, and as the fire broke out im an unused Portion of the house, in that story, the lady is presumably correct in her | i Six to ‘ew of the matter.
