IN THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
II. agnew, from the Committee on General
~ W.. reported q bill to promote the health
-@1,becty, which makes it misdemeanor
y. N nroperty-owners or holdeis to allow
!. W.. TO grow, or any offensive matter to

20. it is provided that it shall be the
Iarof the police force to see that the law
...-.oiorced, for failure to do which they
.ssl be tined or suspended.
'- Mr. BRYANT explained that the old law on
"a subject was defective-one ordinance
liking it The duty of the Superintendent of
p,6ce TO see that the Iaw is enforced, aid
.'Sq,s seemingly contradictory thereto.
M Leadbeater supposed there was plenty
law on the subject: also that the po-
i,s should see that its provisions were en-
hCed.
Mr. Lambdin saw no provision in the bill
,nreyent nuisauces in streets in the shape
5:ohal, filth, sc.
Nh Agnew-"The ordinance prohibits
any one from casting offensive matter in the
street.
Nr. Lambdin-"Offensiv is q general
-,rm. There should be some specific provi-
:YoD on the subject" He thought the police
we're the proper officers to see that such
az is carried out.
Mr.. BRYANT thought the object of the pro-
posed law was to make it the imperative
luv of the police to assist the Superintend-
ent of Police in carrying out the sanitary
sgs OF the city.
Mr.. Burke read from the code which
makes it the duty Of the police to report and
have suppressed any nuisances calculated to
annoy or endauger the health of any one.
Mr.. Lambdin said it was delicate duty
for lae Superintendent of Police to abate
instances, iuaamuch as he was dependent
on a constituency for his position it was
not so with the police, they not being elected
by the people would perform the duty
more satisfactorily.
air. BRYANT moved that the fine to be as
,essed against policeman for failure to do
his duty be fixed at one dollar or that he
be suspended for period of five days, which
was agreed 10, and the bill was read the
third time and passed.
Some routins business was subsequently
transacted.
Upon petition being read from Charles
Mankin for permission to erect a frame
building within the fire limits,
Mr. Lambdiu stated that while he had no
special objection to granting the prayer of
the petitioner, he thought there should be
sons limit to granting such privileges, and
that after & fixed time Council should cease
10 take coguizance of these petitions.
The petition was granted, and number
ofpapers which had been acted upon by the
Common Council were received from that
board and their action concurred in.
Mr.. Leadbeater offered resolution d.
ecting the Auditor to issue his warrant for
i've hundred dollars in favor of the Presi-
dent oftbe Maryland Steam Ferry Company
odtlray the cost OF repairing the steamer
Virginia, and after it had bean read, at Mr..
Leadteatel's suggestion, Ii Was Laid over.

The Potomac fishing season will close in
few weeks. Potomac herring have enjoyed
celebrity for over century, to which they
were Justly entitled by reason Of their nutrl-

fallen off in the abundance Of their yield, as
coutrasted with former times, when two
million were swooped up opposite Alexan'

A Wounded Mans Sudden Death.


Thursday afternoon last, man named
Ferdinand Krievan, hailing from Chicago,
was found dead in an clubhouse at the
rear of Fred Ruecker's saloon, Main
street. KrieYan had been boarding at
Ruecker's since the Tuesday previous.
He was doctoring here for wound in his
left breast, which he claimed he received
in Chicago the day before coming here,
by pistol fired by his son-in-law. In
one of his pockets was found note which
said, "send my body to 1l6 Ewing street,
Chicago. A rich butcher will pay" A
coroner's jury was impaneled by Justice
Stacy and the body examined. 1t was
the opinion of DR.. Whyte that the wound
Krievan complained Of had nothing to do
with his death, and verdict of death
from apoplexy was rendered. Upon the
receipt of the news of the mans death al
Chicago, the sop-ln-law was arrested, but
denied having fred at his father.in-laY,
and was subsequently discharged 1t is
now generally accepted that Krievan shot
himself will suicidal intent. He was IS
years old.

The Congressional Nomination.


The Republican convention for this
(First) Congressional district meets to-
morrow at 2 o'clock P. M, at Clinton
Junction, to place in nomination a can
didate for member of Congress. The
convention will consist of SO delegates,
divided among the several counties as
follows Jefferson 6, Kenosha 3, Racine
s, Rock Is, Walworth g. As to the out
come OF the convention nothing positive
is known. Racine has announced her, in
tention Of placing in nomination Hen. l..
B. Caswell and it is understood that at
least eight of the Rock county:delegation
favor Mr.. Caswell, in which event the
Jefferson county delegates acting as unit
in the convention, which is their inten-
ton, and seconding the compliment paid
their own county man by Racine, Mr..
Caswell's nomination would seem to be
assured.
Whether nominated for another term
or not, il must be said that Mr.. Caswell
has ever been untiring in seeking the best
interests of his district in the halls of Con-
gress, serving his constituency with an abil-
ity, faithfulness aud zeal above the average
menu Der during his long service.

the best office on the gift of the 1927

out to about 2-117 per cent. of the Demo
cratic voters of the county. Then here is

she can not stand the chatter against such

cry of despair has gone up from Jefferson
for what can be the matter with her with

out of the seven offices, surveyor and coro-
ner not being worth counting.

ed Just east of the Northwestern crossing
near the junction with the rig of ]. Fl.
Stahl, in which we're seated Mr. Stahl, n.
G.. Daniels, Of Milwaukee, and Charles
Peters, who was driving. Mr.. Gardner
was driving quite fast, intending to take
the train for Jefferson, and in the darkness
did not see the vehicle coming towards
him. He was thrown from his buggy
with great force to the side of the road
and received painful injuries, although
not as severe as was at first supposed.
Mr.. Daniels was also thrown out and bad
lv shaken, and Mr.. Peters was dragged
over the dashboard to the ground, but
fortunately escaped with only a few
bruises. Mr. Field, young Gardner and
Mr.. Stahl held to their seats and received
no injury. Mr. Gardner was conveyed to
his home, complaining of considerable
pain internally. He was attended by DIR.
Hoermann, and is rapidly recovering from
the effects of the accident. For all in
volved it was a miraculous escape from
fatal results Both vehicles were some
what broken. Mr.. Stahl's horse ran away
and was shortly afterwards found in the
lot of Ben Zoelle, short distance from
the scene of the accident.
