NEW OFFICERS SWORN IN.

The New City Officers Took up Their Work Today.

At 4 o'clock this afternoon the old words could be said, "The King is dead. Long live the King. " At this time the old city government gave way to the new. Newly elected Mayor Luick President of the Council Walter Seabolt, City Clerk James E. Harkins, Aldermen Hamilton, Koch, Rohde and Gross, Assessor Edward Seyler, and Constabes John L. Cox and Arthur J. Sweet were sworn in. Mayor Luick was kindly welcomed by the retiring Mayor Hiscock, who promised to assist Mayor Luick so far as lay in his power and congratulated him on his success. Mayor Luick briefly thanked him for the congratulations.

Immediately after the ceremony which took place in the clerk 's office City Clerk Mills retires and City Clerk Harkins took his place as city clerk. The first duty the new city clerk had to perform was to dispose of a bill for the burying of a dead dog. City Clerk Mills' books and papers were found complete up to date and the office was turned over in good shape.
