An adjourned special meeting of the council was held last evening with Mayor Barker in the chair and but three absentees. The only business was the second reading of the license or occupation tax.

The follow Ing changes were made In the ordinance as published last week in the Journal: Abstractors of title $10.00 for six months; book binders coal and wood yards chemical manufacturing companies cooper shops cornf doctors per week; commission merchants cigar manufacturers express companies whose monthly business exceeds III, 000. $25. Companies! whose monthly business is less than $1,000, elevators, $10; street exhibitions, $10; ex press wagons owned by non-residents, $10 a week; feed stables, mills producing not oyer 100 bis of flour per day producing over 100 per day, $25; foundries, gas. fitters and plumbers, $7 ,50 green non resident owners of hacks, omnibusses, kept for hire, $25 per week; hay presses, horse dealers," $5 per six months I for resident, and $5 per week for non-residents patent right dealers, milk peddlers," $2.50 per wagon; restaurants, street car com panies, $25; shooting galeries, shirt factories $12.50, opera houseB and theatres $25.00, transfer companies $2.50 per wsgon, ten pin alleys $12.50, cider, mills producing yearly 500 barrels or less $2.50, same producing oyer 600 barrels. $12.50, waeon yards $2.50.

The following were stricken 'from the list, in most cases because they are not enumerated by the statutes of the state authorizing the levying of an. occupation tax; weighers and measurers; twine factor ies; stallions and jacks; soap manufactur ers; street sprinklers; stencil cutters; pot tery works; marble and stone yards; mat-trass makers; horse and mule cellar factories; boot and shoe makers. The alarm of fire came as the council had about concluded its session and an adjournment was taken until Thursday next. The occupation tax as amended last eyen- ing has been very carefully considered by the members of the city council, and it seems to be as just and fair to all parties affected as an ordinance of this nature can well be. Reyenue from some source must be provided, and, leaving out all sentiment al considerations ar to the effect such an ordinance would haye onJ the firtanciaHTepu-tation of pur city, no other way is open for raising a sufficient sum for our needs.

Nearly all of the occupations named in the ordinance, are already Illcensed, and there is no good reason why they should not be collected, under one head In a tax of this nature. The measure is commended by our business men. In Brief, And To The Point. Dyspepsia la dreadful. Disordered liver is 'mis ery.

Mr. Nottingham was plowing while his 10-year-old boy was pulling the weeds from the coulter of the plow, when unfortunately his hand caught under it, running over three fingers, nearly cutting them off.

He was at once sent here for treatment and it is hoped that his fingers will be saved. Mrs. Nottingham was in the city when the accident occurred and was greatly surprised to see her boy brought to her in this sad condition. Sergeant T. B.

John Donnillyj i 224 LirlhY-i KansaB CUy Mo. August Meeting of the Douglas County Horticultural Society. The meeting on Saturday last at the beau tiful grove of Mr. Stiner, northeast of Bis marck, was the most largely attended of any during the year. In addition to the large numbers that went over from the south side, it seemed as if all Grant township was present, with a part of Leavenworth county thrown in.

An important feature of' the meeting was the large number of young people attendance who seemed much interested in the exercises of the meeting. This Bociety is a school in which there is always something important to be learned, and the young people of both sexes should be encouraged to Join the society and par" ticipate in its exercises. Mr. and Mrs. Stiner were indefatigable in their efforts to make the meeting a as well as- otherwise, and certainly they succeeded admirably as every one pre sent can testify, and for which they received the hearty thanks of the meeting, unanimously expressed by vote.

Immediately after dinner President Evatt took the chair, and introduced Mr. Mc- Naugton, of Reno, who welcomed the socie- ty in a most eloquent address, full of friendly greeting, expressed in metaphor, figures of speech and poetry- It seemed almost as if a Demosthenes or Cicero of the past had come forth, or a Robert Ingersoll of the present naa dropped in to demonstrate the power of orator j. FRUIT EXHIBITED. Another interesting: feature of the meetins was the fine display of fruit bv several of the members. The show of grapes by A.

H. Griesa was especially admired, both for tha large number of varieties, and the beauty of the bunches. A. Colman exhibited a fair sized peach, which he claimed was not. more than half its usual size, being stunted by the drouth.

One pesuli-arity about this peach is. that the pits or seeds produce exactly the same variety, thus saving the trouble and expense of budding. He thinks it is worthy of cutivation. The following is the list of fruit exhibited. By A.

Gnesa Grapes. Concord. Dracut Amber, Pockltneton. Mo. Reisline; No.

iy a. uriesa Niagara and Worden grapes. The special subjects set for the considera tion of the August meeting were tomatoes and melons. Several prominent growers on the north side were called upon for infor mation but for some cause or other refused to respond. The tomato crop Is very fehort tms season, and this may have been the excuse.

The melon question, however, was extensively discussed by a very large number who considered the quantity and quality a grand success and fully equal to tb.6 demands. If the wagon load of melons pro vided by Mr. Stiner was a fair sample of the rest in the field, his melon crops can be voted a success notwithstanding the drouth. Mr. M.

Reynolds was the only one pre sent who was willing to give his experience in this branch of horticulture. He commenced raising watermelons when quite a boy. His method was a very inexpensive one, and which is often practiced by Young America of the present age. For his young taste the best patches in the neighborhood were selected and the best melons in the patch appropriated. He does not recommend this mode of culture, because it Is liable to meet with reverses in the shape of bull dogs and shot guns, to say nothing about the moral side of the question.

Latterly he raises his melons out of his pocket i i uooa, me entrees oi wmcn are au on tne debit side of the account. of North Lawrence, was called upon for a declamation, and recited with much humor "The Three Lovers." At this point the meeting seemed to re solve itself into a social gathering, mil ci -now oi spirits ana least oi soul." Mr. Joe Savage once entertained Prof. Riley, the scientist, and he took the position that the planets and the stars were full of gas, and Mr. Savage thought that the same might be said of our planet, and perhaps of our society.

Referring to the reminis cence oi our "First of July" lust read by Samuel Reynolds, he said that he presumed that it was the first time this grove had over listened to finelspeecb.es, es peciaiiy iiKe tne one ne was mamng. Rev. J. S. Brown read an extract from the "Popular Science" on the intercommu cation, throughout the world, by railroad and steamship transportation "The great extension qf the world's railway and steam- chip system and service, during the last 20 years has resulted in great changes in the life of the world.

There is now no longer any occasion for the people! in anv country, indulging in either excessive hopes or tears as to tne results or any particular harvest. The failure of crops in any one county now produces little disturbance in the markets of the world. The prices of giain and of the cereals are not now regu lated within the limits of any one county- but regulated entirely by. the combined production and consumption of all countries, made mutually accessible by tail roads i and steamships. There can be therefore, no longer fears of a famine in country where this system of railroads' and water communication -exists.

It Is a fact worth recording and worth remembering that since lSiU tnose years oi locally bad crops in Europe, have generally witnessed considerably lower prices, than the years when the local crops were good and there was a local surplus fer export. "One marked effect of the present rail way and steamship system of transporta tion has bees to. compel a uniformity of prices for all commodities that are essential to life, and to put an end forever, to what. less than half a century ago was a constant feature of commerce, namely, the existence of local markets, with widely divergent prices for such commodities. How much misery and starvation a locally deficient harvest entailed under the old system upon the poorer classes, is Bhown by the circumstances that in the English debates upon the corn late as 1840, it was estimated upon data furnished Mr.

Tooke in his "History of high prices" that a deficiency of one sixth in the English harvest resulted in a raise of at least 100 per cent in the i price of grain. 'For grain henceforth, tne transportation companies have decided that there shall be but one market the world and that the margain for speculation in this commodity, so essential to the well being of humanity shall be restricted to very narrow limits." Milton Reynolds, who has traveled oyer the state extensively and observed the effects of wind breaks, said that in the Arkansas valley wherever the corn fields were protected by rows of cottonwood trees, the corn was fairly good, but whenever there appeared a break in those rows the corn was ried up, showing that the trees modified the hot winds. He also gave the farmers some good advice about cutting down the hedges, weeds and sunflowers on the public highways. He wanted to see an ideal state in all respects. In referring to the city of Lawrence, he enquired, "What do you want with dogs in a University town? Why I have one fault to find with Paul, who Is my favorite preacher; instead of saying Beware of the dogs he ought to have said, shoot the dogt." A.

H. Griesa entertained the meeting a few minutes with his views on prohibition. Mr. Sisson gave some reminescencesof early life in Ohio, and Mr. Thompson closed the exercises with a eulogy on woman, ending with the poem, "The hand that rocks the cradle It the hand that rocks the world." The exercises were interspersed with se veral pieces of music, both vocal and instrumental.

Ll-The Geodetic Survey in Douglas Co. The TJ, 8 Coast and Geodetic surveyors have completed their survey in this vicinity, and the following extract from a letter to J. M. Shepherd of this eity written by Engineer F. Granger who 'has chargeof the will give an idea of the work of the government in these surveys.

Mr. Granger says: cannot do better ithau quote in part from memory the remarks of Prof. J. E. Hilgarde, late superintendent of the survey, before a congressional committee Bome three years ago.

He said: "The immediate object: of the geodetic connection, or transcontinental triangulation, is to ascertain accurately the distance between some points on the two coasts and their relative positions on 'the surf ace of the earth. This requires the same operations of base measure and triangulption, and at frequent points observations for latitude, longitude, and direction of the meridian as are made for the surveys of the coasts. By this means we obtain in addition to the separate surveys of the coasts proper, a connecting link, which gives for a general map of the whole country a known skeleton or work. In addition tolthis requisite purpose of the trans-continental line of survey it pre sents the following scientific and practical viz: Scientific results. It ac complishes incidentally, 'the measure- ment of an east and west line of about three thousand miles, the curvative of Svhlch is determined bv the longitude observations, and tthus constitutes bv far the loneest arc of parallel that has been measured for the determination ef the size and figure of the earth, Just as the survey of the coasts contributes incidentally important meridianal measurements.

Second 4-The accurate determination of the height above the se aline of a great number of points along the line, affording a common datum plane for elevations across the continent, and also ascertaining the elevation of the mean level of the ocean on the eastern and western coasts. The transcontinental link furnishes ac curate base lines for all state surveys within Its range, and puts into position the so- ealled meridians and base links of the public land survey wherever It intersects them. Such surveysas now exist are irreconcil able frequently by many In this section the points in the skeleton or frame-work are from fifteen to twenty five miles apart within which all local sur veys must vigorously fit, and is all that is requisite to brine harmony into what i now confusion. The towers are required for elevating the Instruments to such a height as may be necessary to bring other points of the scheme into view, and to get above the dis turbed atmospheric condition which obtains on lines of sight passing near the The surveying corpi goes from Douglas county to La Peur, Iowa, weere similar work is to be done.
