Several Matters of Importance Transacted
at Last Night’s Meeting of
City Council.
At last night’s meeting of the
city council Ksli L. King was
elected night watchman to succeed
John B. Wallace, who has held
the position for the past three
years or more. The election was
to become effective two weeks
hence, but it is understood that Mr.
I Wallace resigned at once and Mr.
King was sworn in today.
All members of the council were
present at the meeting, which was
the first presided over by Mayor A.
J. Witt since his recent election.
When a motion had been adopt

Martin nominated Mr. King and
Alderman Lee Schwarz nominated
Mr. Wallace. On roll call the
vote was as follows:
For King—Aldermen Martin,
McCulloch and Holman and May
or Witt.
. For Wallace—Aldermen Bullion,
Newbern and Schwarz.
City To Lay Walks.
A resolution was adopted author
izing the mayor to let the contracts

a large amount of walk on Cald

Under the ordinances the work
will be done by the city, which

A STATEMENT
It is easily possible in a matter
in which the interest has become
as intense as in The Log Cabin
Democrat’s piano contest for ques
tions as to the accuracy of the pub
lished standing of the contestants,
etc., to arise. I desire to have it
distinctly understood by all parties
| that the manner in which the
contest is being conducted is at all
times open to the fullest investiga
tion by any one interested. A
committee of disinterested persons
representing all of the contestants
or any one of them is at liberty at
any time to canvas the entire vote,
to examine our subscription and
collection books, to hear statements
from all parties desiring to be
heard, and to make a final decis
ion of the matter.
Not only the reputation of an old
and established business for honest
dealings, but my personal honor is
pledged that every candidate shall
have an absolutely square deal. To
destroy or injure this reputation or
to involve my honor is worth infin
itely more to the business and to
me than a hundred such contests.
