Mr.. Thomas NepheW. of Mamie.

| improvements. and to this end meet
ing OF the town SUPERVISORS and peO-
| pie Will be held today to vote upon the
! question of building a suitable town
] hall, thus giving them place iii which
to transact the business Of the town.
ms Is certainly a wise move, and Mr..
Nephew has talked the matter up so
much that he thinks the project will
! carry, as the amount proposed to be
| raised for that purpose is but 81 200
! The new hall viii probably be located
at Maple as that is the most central
point convenient. | t is also proposed
i to build three more school houses this
/ season, one at the Aminicon, one at
4 Brule station and one about SIX miles
north of the latter The demand for
/ these school houses IS good evidence
! that the town is rapidly filling up with
actual settlers, and it is pleasant to
! knew that our county IS being settled
50 rapidly.
AT the council meeting Tuesday
/ evening the Mayor appointed Messrs.
/ III. +. Laiiitte, Nelse Johnson and
/ Marshall Melvin to constitute the
board of assessors They hold their
term Of office for one, two, and three
years IN the order named. DR.. III. j.
! Common was also nominated and con
iirmed health commissioner. The tel
ephone committee was well satisfied
with our present system which we
/ have so much kicking about, and think
! the charges as now fixed, very reason
able, all things considered. Aldermen
/ Derlg, O'IIare and Wiltse were ap-
! pointed a committee to represent the
city in the general committee of ar
engagements to receive and entertain
the Northwestern Veterans ASSocia-
ton in July.
Going along the street few even
| lngS since we heard Il man III one of
! our saloons cursing and using such OBJ
scene language as would disgust, or
| ought to disgust, any mortal however
1 depraved On Il corner of the street
near by was q policeman, who, appar
emily, could not listen to such vile
language and so he turned on his heel
and walked off to get ont of range of
the talker. At first we We're inclined
to call his attention to what was going
on, but then we concluded that as he
had heard what we had heard it was
no part OF his duty to arrest such men
or interfere i'll any way With the saloon
business.
w llam Tower, Of the West End
poured this tale of woe into the ears
of a Leader reporter:
My wife has gone and lett me. She
got angry at me for getting triile
intoxicated, and when | came home
from work | found the house empty,
not 50 much as Il newspaper left even.
She has taken 800 worth of furniture
and sold il to Il secondhand dealer for
$50. | don't know where she is but
don't believe she has gone very far
OF course | can recover the furniture
by repleyin ana | would be willing to
give her her share OF it II she does not
want to live with me.
The county board at its session
"Wednesday did the sensible thing
when 1t passed a resolution instruct
ing the sheriff to compel all prisoners
serving sentences in the county iail
to work each week day from o'clock
in the morning until Is III the after
noon AT clearing streets and alleys. y
number OF the supervisors thought
this new departure WoUll have the eff
feet Of reducing the number Of prison
ers confined in the jail, and would
prO5ahiV obViate the necessity Of
Building new one at this time, as
We II as improving the sanitary con
dition OF the city.

AT a meeting of the county board
"Wednesday Dr.. G. ii. Conklin was re
appointed county physician for the
ensuing year, at salary of $1,000.
There were three bids lower than his,
bat most of the members OF the board
thought that as during the past year
that gentleman had SO faithfully per
formed his official duties for Il plttance
that lie would be sure TO give salts
faction al a larger remuneration and
that lie was therefore entitled to re-
appointment and to receive a fair
Salery tor his services the current
year.
w ednestlay evening the floor
under Il large Oat BIN i'll the second
story OF the Warehouse and Builders
Supply company's stable on Tower bay
slip, gave Way, completely burying
with oats two horses, whose stalls
were situated beneath it. The fire
men who We're returning from the fire
al the end OF the slip extracted the
horses just III time to save them from
suifocation One of the husllers was
in the stable when the floor fell but
\ escaped injury.
Last Monday in the broad day
light a drunken fellow on Second
street was making Roam howl SO to
i'SiN' anu ms
was such as would make Ills Satanic
majesty blush with envy. No arrests,
although the authorities were not
ignorant Of what was gong on. Has
our new Chief OF Police instructed his
. force To make no arrests where 5000
whisky creates the disturbance? 1t
looks that way.
