Mr.. Editor:-Please allow me
small space in your columns to call
the attention of the town council
or health officers to the offensive
and sickening stencil which arises
from the various privys about town
which is liable to produce sickness
in its severest form. 1t is the du.
ty of the council to require each
owner OF privys and back-yards to
keep them in good condition, and
if the person or persons refuse or
fill to comply with the ordnance,
after notice has been given, then
it is the duty ct the council to have
the work done at the owners ex,
pense. Let our town council look
after this matter AT ONCE before
it is too late; for | considerit very

A NJ I'd to our CITY fathers

Time and again the News has
been called upon to notice the con-
duct OF the negro gamins in this
city.
So disgusting and altogether
troublesome have they become, of
late we feel in duty bound TO
call attention to them.
They daily congregate on our
business streets and engage in am
ateur sparrlng matches, minetrel
shows, or anything else that they
con think of or initiate.
They not only interfere and
worry our business men, but ladies
out shopping are embarrassed by
their disgusting conduct.
Gentlemen, this should be stop
ped. II there is no law prohibiting
such, one should be made that
would deal with the case Ifthere
is one, it should be rigidly enforced
at once.

Death of Ar. Thomas c. James on Last
"Wednesday.
All that was mortal of Mr..
Thomas c. James was laid to rest
IN the City Cemetery on last
Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. James had been sick for a

not wholly unexpected, it was new,
ertheless shock to all.
Until a year or two ago Tom
james was leading and prominent

lie was known all throughout
this section, and none knew him
but to admire his noble and Iowa
bic traits. Like all others, how.
ever, he had his faults, but with all
these Tommie james was endowed
with a soul whose virtues lowered
as tar above his vices as heaven
above the earth. In his prosper.
Gus days if one needed a friend,
Tom James was that friend If
the poor needed assistance Tom
James lent helping hand. Chart
table to fault, a true friend, an
honest man, a born gentleman was
he. No matter what else he was,
he was all these.
Over his faults let us spread the
pure VIII e mantle OF charity, re-
menbering his virtues and forget
ting all else. Altera few years o.
sailing on this storm tossed sea of
life, his soul has at last found an.
ehorage, may we not hope, in an
harbor of rest. His remains were
followed to their last resting place
by a large procession of people, and
his funeral was conducted by Pro-
lection Fire I ompany, of which
he was member.
