The Swanson Music company have in their show window the first piano ever made west of Chieago. 1t is a novelty, and attracts much attention. It is about twenty-one inches long by ten inches wide, and by it stands an automatic man with tunitig key, busy tuning the instru- ment. The ingenious novelty is of their own manufucture, and is gazed upon with interest by hundreds dail, The new 'busses of Lewis & Arnd .are being utilized not only tor train purposes, but for many gatherings about the city. The otl vening parties of six or eight used them in getting to and from a party, finding them a convenient, comfortable and economical way of get- ting about the city. The proprietors of this line are making a speciulty of thus conveniencing the citizens, and parties desiring to thus club together can be easily accommodated and very cheaply. The mayor of my city has resigned. The reasons as given by “himself appear elsewhere. Hc no doubt prefers to Ilun'e the records appear that he gave up the position voluntarily than that the people ave him up. It seems a good deul on the same principle by which convicts are often loned out a day or two before their terms expire. The difference in time does not amount to anything, but the record looksa little better.” When lus next batch of eards are printed he will have, doubtless, the date of his resigna- tion upon them, giving to the nation the iden that he might have been muyor longer, but that he chose to give up the sition. It makes but little difference, owever, 8o long as heis got ont. His farewell, like all of his state pupers, is a great advertisement for himself. What- ever faults Vaughan has, he is a great rustler for himself, and it is needless for anybody to waste any sympathy on him., He is irrepressible, and” will be up on hi feet in o new spot, and that right quickly. Dropping back into public life again, he will escape many of the which have been hurled at him an ofticial, Vaughan as muyor been a target of some importance on account of the posi- tion, but Vaugh: s 1 ceitizen won't catch any but s Substantial abstrac estate loans, J.

In settling the loss with the insurance companies Gilman & Co, fig- ured out the loss to be over $5,000, the amount of the insurance, but added the wheat involved in this smt, making the totul amount of the loss shown us $11,000. These proofs of loss were used against Gilman & Co. as proof that they did not consider that the ownership of the wheat had actually passed to Yetzer & Rapp at the time the wi was burned. Gilman & Co. claimed that they were induced to figure this wheat into the loss, as the ad- juster wanted to make s good a show #s possible with Lis company us j tion for paying the insu g e p been tried before Judge Reed at At- ntic and the jury disagreca.

The O1d Council's Doings—The May- or's Resignation—Work on the Bridge—Social Doings. The Finishing Touches, The city conncil met Saturday after- noon, all being present except Alderman Geise, whose health still prevents him from attendance. A large amount of routine business was ground through, and the council managed to eateh up on the reagling andapproval of minutes to date, The proposed purchase of a strip of land for the ovening of Avenue Efwas re- ferred to the committee on streets and the city engineer. A petition of Pierce street was pr a four foot sidewalk instead of thred The petitioners we ipted from the bids to be opened on the 10th, calling for the construction of a three foot walk. The city attorney reported that the (-..uunu,w%mn aeting as a board of equali zation, were entitled to $3 for cach s lours %o engaged.

There scems to be little agitation over the matte nd the choice of voters will be made up largely from personal prefe being conceded to be no politi s drawn. The two retir- ing members of the board, J. B. Atkins and T. S. Couch, are candidates for r election. ‘There is no serious fight bei made upon them, as was the case last year, when two members of the board sought re-election. Other good men are candidates for the positions, however. L. Bridenstein, Charles Loucks, Dr. Bel- linger and George Blaxsim are among these, and the people will therefore not make any great mistake, whoever of these are chosen. The school interests are_more important than many citizens realize. There is a great deal of money to be handled, a_large amount of prop- crty to be cared for, and the education of hundreds of future citizens will be shuped more or less by the character of the board which controls the school system of the city. Voters should therefore use their franchise, and use it inlulliFenUy. There are not so many loaves and _ fishes to be distributed as in other elections, but the importance to the city 1s as grent as an, 1tis to be regrotted that J. M.

B. Lipfert and his Professor Lipfert, since he lo- eated in this city, has done much to ad- vance musical matters, and has gatliered about him some of the most promising pupils. This entertainment proved not only enjoyable, the programme being of a high order and well executed, but was particularly gratifying as showing the ad- vancement made by those who have the Lenelit of Professor Lipfert's instru tion. Two numbers, for two pianos, were given by Misses Cooley, Crofts, Smith, and Professor Lipfert. They were diflicult, and the rendition showed an ac- | euracy of time and independence of play- ing which was evidence of thorough drill and most caveful study. Piano solos were given by Miss Mary Schneider, Miss Minnie Clay, Miss Franées Swmith, Miss Grace Spooner, and Miss Minni¢ Crofts, aud these young ladies acquitted themselves g0 well ag to win many word of vraise from ¢ager listeners.
