The job of decorating the upper
story of the court house was. let by the
committee Monday to John Pinzger,
he having made the lowest bid of $345.
The bids on building an addition to the
jail were all rejected, on account of the
specifications not being sufficiently de-
fined. More complete specifications
will be made and new bids called for.
The countY's bill for $50 for the
rent Of the jail was presented to the
council meeting Monday evening. 1t
was referred to a committee. This
same bill has been presented before,
but owing to the fact that portion Of
the jail building was built by and for
the city it has never been allowed. 1t
probably won't be this time.
The Racine Journal reports that

inc of the B. p. O.. Elks last Saturday
evening in the costume of a German
farmer. The meeting was a German
one. and was fed on sauerkraut and

manner We printed statements for
one of our business men short time
ago and he has already collected a
small fortune. Two months ago a
young man bought some paper and en-
velopes of us to write to his sweetheart.

Mayor Farr suggested at the coun-
Gil meeting Monday evening that the
city had no vault in which to store it's
records, chattel mortgages and city en-
gineers documents and that it the
building should ever burn down these
things would be lost and the loss would
be irreparable. So it was moved that
a committee of three be appointed to
look the matter all up and report on it.
The committee consists of Aid. O'DOn-
nell, Head and Zens.
Sidney Race had some little diff
Guilty in getting some of the stuff he
had purchased, home with him Monday
evening. Since the purchasing agency
business has been set upon by the rail
roads, he has had to take his medicine
with the rest. He had about 100

roads.
