w. B. Craig is doing the final
leveling and grading on his Glenwood
avenue and Warren street contract,
and the work will be entirely COM
pleted in day or two. The county
appropriated 81, 900 to be used on the
avenue, and the time has now come
when this can be used to advantage.
The graveling should be completed to
the railroad track, and little more
should be done at the extreme east
end of the avenue. We understand
that commissioner Mahowald, under
whose supervision the money was to be
expended, is willing that Inspector
Halstead should spend it upon the
avenue. This should be done. The
money was appropriated for the ave-
nue. and Warren street and no where
else. and it cannot be placed in the
city treasury. 1t should be expended
according to the agreement. The road
so far as it is graveled is the finest in
the state, and if the remainder of the
street is to be passible in wet times
the sticky clay on the portion just
raded must be covered with gravel.
The county commissioners con-
sidered Jail plans Wednesday and de-
cided to have only one tier of ten cells
in the first story, and ten cells on
the second floor, and two cells in the
sick ward over the jailor's Office. This
will reduce the expense somewhat
but will also reduce the efficiency of
the jail. All jails in cities of any size
are now made with two or more Giers
of cells on the first floor, to economic
space and make it easier to care for
the prisoners. Sheriff Glynn strongly
recommends two tiers on the first
floor. If the first story is Is or 10 feet
high,a s the plans called for, ventilation
would be much better. 1t will be
poor economy to put up small Jail
with the expectation of charging the
building. 1t would be better to make
loOlh lOl duOUuOl IlOi VI CCllS duU
leave the cells out.
The stone Quarries are reducing
their forces of men, owing to the
general financial situation. Fred Wi.
dell has laid off 25 to 80 men during
the past week. A dozen men applied
for work there in a body day or two
ago, but without success. The farm
ers ought to have no trouble in find.
ing harvest hands this year.
AT the farmers meeting Saturday
afternoon it was decided to order a
carload of prison Irvine, to be de.
livered Wednesday. 1t will be found
at Glenn Schrpder's store. 1t will be
shipped over the Omaha. Orders fo1
20, 600 pounds have been received and
the money has been paid in.

The amount levied last year was
$4,000, The road and bridge fund
was reduced $4,000 from last year.
The tax for the new jail will not be
felt, and it is the intention to pay for
it with one more levy.
The board adopted a motion asking
Architect Gerlach to prepare an esti-
mate Of the cost of the new jail if
built in accordance with his plans,
both with one tier of cells below and
with two tiers, and also to ascertain
the cost of chrome steel cells and cells
of other materials. The board in
tends to put in no more cells at pres
ent than are needed, but to have room
to place extra ones as they may be
needed. This will save a considera-
BILE on the original cost.
The board adjourned, but will hold
a special meeting whenever Mr.. Ger
ZACH is ready to report, which will be
as soon as possible.

There has been almost a sugar
famine in this city. The grocerymen
have almost all exhausted their stocks
and both candy factories have used
all that they had. The same condi-
tion has existed in other places. L..
Patterson & Co. have been unable to
get any sugar. owing to delays in ship
ping, but received two carloads this
afternoon, which will partially relieve
the situation. Three more carloads
will arrive in a few days. The Mime
apolis houses have had a similar
trouble in getting sugar. After to-
day there will probably be no further
scarcity.

The residents of section %, South
Bend township, near Spring Island,
are in the midst of a road war. Seven
years ago cartway three-fourths of
a mile long and two rods wide was
opened north from the school house.
This has been travelled for over six
years. and becomes, according to law,
a public highway. The cartway is not
exactly straight and this spring some
of the people there undertook to
straighten it. This would move the
cartway twenty feet to one side for
about forty rods. Mason nHinson
wants the road Strengthened and Geo.
McPheeters and J. A. Williams are
just as active in opposition to it. The
neighborhood has taken sides on the
matter and it is the one subject of
conversation in the community. The
town board has taken hand in the
fight and has ordered VIM. Youngs,
the road master, to straighten the
road. This he refuses to do, and is
upheld by the county attorney, who
says that the road must remain as it
is. Those who want it Strengthened
blame Mr.. Youngs for not obeying
the order of the board until he is pre-
vented by an injunction.

SOME MUSICAL NOTES.

In our general notice of the chorus
work at the musical convention,
mention should have been made of
the incidental solo in the Damascus
March, which was admirably sus-
tanned by Mrs. c. T. Ranlet; she
sang it with much spirit and express
sion.
Fred w. Bancroft, the Montpelier
tenor, sang at the recent banquet
given by the State Dental Society at
st. Adams.
The Lyndonville Journal did the
neighborly, handsome thing in con
nection with the recent musical con.
vention here, and it's report Of the
affair was very complimentary to all
concerned.
M. H. Eddy, organist at Grace M
E. church, participated in a musical
convention at Mortified last week
1t is certainly to be hoped that the
renewed interest awakened here BY
the musical convention may result II
the formation of permanent chora
union, out of which may grow othe1
successful gatherings of musica
people.

NEW MOTH EXTERMINATOR,

Another concern has recently been
started in St. Johnsbury by two OF
our Young men under the name OF
the Azte-Zone Chemical Company,
The concern owns and manufactures
a LIQUID moth eXterminator which is
claimed to be superior to anything
now on the market. The liquid is
put up in a small tin box and retails
at so cents. The company have a
patent on their liquid, another on
their box and their label is registered.
Arrangements have been made to
manufacture 1000 boxes day and
if the trade increases additional en-
largements can be made to the plant.
The liquid is invaluable for protect
ing carpets, furs, etc, from moths
and buffalo bugs and is also useful
for preserving pianos from the raw
ages of moths. Lyman p. Wood is
the treasurer of the company and
Arthur F. Walker will handle the
goods in this town. Arrangements
have been made to push the sales OF
this exterminator all over this state
