SEWER WORK.
Council Considers the Big Sewer aud
will Hasten its Construction.

Monday nights regular session Of the vii
lage council was consumed chiefly in dis
cussing the proposed new sewer. Henry
Kobe the engineer, who was ordered to go
over the route, made his report.
He exhibited a profile of the ditch. BY
the profile it was readily seen that unless the
work be constructed of tile or brick the
whole length it would be an impractical un-
dertaking. as where the council had figured
on utilizing an open ditch it would be nee
essary to excavate from seven to eight feet.
Mr.. Kolbe was of the opinion that the old
route under the canal is the true one, sug-
gesting the use of iron pipe beneath the
water, which he estimated could be done at
a cost of $500.
After consuming over an hour in discus
sion, it was finally decided to utilize the old
route and the present sewer under the canal
until next spring when the State will permit
iron pipe to be put in.
Surveyor Kolbe was ordered at once to be-
gin work and prepare plans and specifca-
tons with the following sewer district, pre-
pared by the Council, in view Beginning
al the Bryan Pike where it intersects the
Wabash Railroad; thence running easterly
along the railroad to the Liberty township
line; thence south to the canal; to follow
the canal to Clinton street; along Clinton
street to the Bryan Pike and, following the
pike, to the beginning. The district, how
ever is subject to changes on recommended
ton of the engineer.
The Council will adjourn from night to
night until the sewer is satisfactorily dis
posed of.

HIS SHOT WAS A ULL'S-EYE.

But He Didn't Explain That He
Painted the Target After Firing.
A New York broker, who is we'll
known on the stock exchange for his
proclivities as a practical joker,
made considerable fun for some OF
his associates recently. He is So
iourning in the country at the present
and dl pensing hospitality to num-
bers of his comrades. He is rated
among them as a particularly bad
marksman, and so it was, says the
New York Herald, that when he took
number of them around back of the
barn a few mornings since, and showed
them q target painted on the back of
TIE barn and bullet imbedded in the
very center of the bull'e-eye, the Grst
inquiry was:
"Who fired the shot?"
81 fired it and from distance of
200 yards, too," was his earnest re-
ply.
ION! rats! rats"
"Come off, now"
"You could not hit the barn at that
distance"
But he persisted in his assertion
and finally suggested that perhaps
some OF his friends would like to bet
on it. He got two bets, one for a.
dinner for the crowd and another for
a case OF champagne. He then
brought out two witnesses vino
solemnly declared that they had seen
the shot fired by him from q distance
OF 200 yards and from rifle. The
witnesses were beyond suspicion and
the bets were paid.
During the Jubilee that followed the
broker confessed that he had painted
the tars ct on the barn after he had
fired the shot.
