Tuesday evening. This evening the
first regular meeting of the Board occurs

there WAS concerning the quality of Mr.
Evart's Repubiicanism. An impression

In view of the late hotel catastrophe
at ST. Louis, it is pertinent to remark
that there is law in the Wisconsin
statutes requiring hotel keepers to pro-
vide every sleeping room with a rope
long enough to reach the ground, to be
used in case of fire. How many comply
with the law?
CHAPTER 145 provides that all crinli-
nails sent to jail for non-payment of fine
or sentenced for crime may also be COM
PEELED to Go hard labor during their con-
fnement. This is good law, and prob
ably hereafter no person will be desir
ious of going to jail for the purpose OF
securing their board.
WOMEN are the source of all our mis-
cries. If it hadn't been for one of them
being taken sick at an inopportune mo-
ment The TRIBUNE would have been
running up big bank account through
the medium of the city printing. But
then, we have bank account, anyway
80 days, at 10 per cent.
To have seen Joe Rankin and John
Barnes play ball on Saturday down on
the sand on the newly selected grounds
near the lake, would have inspired any

A MAJORITY of the business men on
North Eighth and York streets have had
the rubbish accumulating in front of
their stores raked up and removed
| something which those in other parts of
the city should follow them in doing.
A little labor on the part of each indi-
viduai makes a wonderful difference in
the appearance of street.
HE spring continues the finest one

of business placed on n solid foundation.
