THATSTORM DRAIN.
Cost of Its Construction esti.
mated at $I9, 30l 20.
TO BE BEGUN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

The Preper.tion Of m Osdiasnss Provid.
ing for the rwenty-foarth Street water
Relief Order~d-New Bids on the Alley
Improvement to be Asked.
An estimate of the proposed storm
drain from Ninth avenue down Tweu-
ty-fourth street to the river as pre-
pared by Engineer Paddock and sub
mitted at last evenings council
meeting places the cost OF the in
provement at $19. .SO1. .25. to be raised
by special taxation. The estimate was
received and the ordinance committee
instructed to prepare an ordinance in
accordance with the engineers rec
concentrations. Aid. Schreiner felt
that the matter should not be acted
hastily upon. as there were manv
things pertaining TO it that required
consideration. The sewer committee
was accordingly instructed to make
thorough investigation of the pro-
posed improvement and ascertain
definitely whether the government
felt reluctant about allowing the
drain to go beneath the viaduct and
report at the next meeting. when the
ordinance would also be submitted.
New Bids for the Alley PAvius.
Replying to an alderman's interro-
cation. Contractor H. l.. Wheelau
stated that he did not intend to. un-
dertake the alley paving improve
ment at any time, believing be had
no contract with the city. Aid.
johnson asked City Attorney Haas if
Mr.. Wheelan could not be legally
held to the contract. Mr.. Haas said
the city might institute proceedings
against the contractor for specific
performance of duty, but such a
course he considered impracticable
as too much time would intervene
before any disposition of the matter
could be made in the courts. Aid.
Maucker thought the parties who
should be required to pay damages,
If any, were those responsible for
the delay in the improvement. They
and not MIR. Wheelan. he reiterated.
were alone to be blamed for the diff
ficulty. A resolution by Aid. Gall
instructiug the mayor aud street and
alley committee to invite private
bids for the alley pavement was
adopted. The question as to wheth-
er the work should be commenced
this fall or next winter was left to
the judgment of the contractor.
The River Front.
The first move looking to the inn
provement of the river front so as to
make it accessible to boat landings
was made in the introduction of q
resolution by AID. johnson, provid-
ing for the appointment of Aids.
Maucker, Gall and Foss as q commit
tee to investigate with the city engi-
neer and ascertain what could be
done toward lettering the existing
conditions and report at next meet
ing. 1t carried.
The Street Funds.
Aid. Schneider took exception to
receiving all blame for expending the
funds of the street and alley commit
tee. He demanded that other members
OF the committee respond when he
called meeting, as he said they had
not been in the practice of doing, in
stead OF condemning other members
for distribution of money.
What are you kicking about?r in
quired Aid. Dauber, "where is the
money to spend?"
And with this to ponder over. the
council adjourned.

How a Great Story Was Written.

The history OF any great and sue
cessful undertaking is always inter
esting, therefore at the risk of be-
ing accused of violating personal
confidence, we tell our readers Of
the origin of a famous story of the
late war. The Publishers of the
Chicago Record wanted a story
which, besides being a love story of
great merit, should wildly describe
the thrilling events of the battle
of Gettysburg and the siege of Rich
mond. One author after another
failed in the work, and at last the
famous st. George Rathburne was
approached on the subject. He de-
manded fabulous price for the
work, but it was paid, and the story
was actually written to order, 1t
is, however, printed under the pen
name OF Hugh Allen" 1t is de-
clared by by critics, who have been
shown the advance sheets, to be the
best story of the war ever written.
The first installment of it appeared
in No 3, Vol, xiii of the Ledger,
and at once attracted the greatest
attention, A private letter from
the editor informs us that in order
to reach all classes of people, the
publishers of the Ledger will mail
the opening chapters of the story
free Of charge to all who send in
their names at once. The Ledger
is a great paper, and each week
gives story matter enough to make
a dollar book. Address
