The city council of Nevada at a re- cent meeting passed an ordinance providing that all wagons carrying 4,500 pounds or more shall have tires four inches wide.

Wetmore, the St. Louis millionaire, was severely thrashed in the corridar of the Planters Hotel Sunday night by Peter Arlund, a promoter from Louisville, Ky.
