And o'er her watery couch their vigils Keep
The martyrs crown lights up the silvery wake
Peaceful and happy on deaths waves she hes.
The night will wane and early morning breah
For her. and She will wake in Paradise.
Hark Angels singing, hovering in her wake'
Softly they whisper sister spirit hlest,
Thy martyr cross at length has won thy crown
And thou hast entered into perfect rest
For her no darkness now, where all il light
For her no torturng rack no prison bars.
Deaths tide has only borne her swiftly nome

Guenther Hill.

Aid Adams said that the county
board had appropriated $500 to i'm
prove Guenther hill on condition that
the city appropriate $500. He offered
a resolution that the city do this, and
this was carried.
Aid. Bradley said that it would be
cheaper to lay the water pipe to the
city park before the Omaha fill is
made. Aid. Lille said that Geo.
Blake proposed to put some damaged
cement pipe under the fill, so that
iron water pipe could be laid there at
any time in the future without much
expense. The city engineer was di-
rected to have this pipe laid.
Aid, Bradley wanted to know where
the city tapping machine had gone to.
President Beatty said that he had
sold it to plumbers for $40 OF S45, as it
was in bad shape and expensive. 1t
had cost SS5. Aid. Bradley said that
if the board of public works can sell
city property without the councils
authority, the city is in bad shape.

Brick Paving.

f. E. Flynn, of the Des Moines Brick
Mfg. Co., was present and was called
on TO explain the cost of brick paving.
He said that the brick would cost
S1.08 square yard laid down in this
city. The best way to lay the pave
ment would be to place the brick on
siX-inch concrete foundation, which
would cost about fifty cents yard.
The cost of brick paving in Mankato
would be about 81 so square yard.
Engineer Haynes said that the cost
per lot would be about $75 to $50.
Mr.. Flynn said that the brick would
cost about SIG a thousand. The brick
would be guaranteed two years. If
the brick are all good, they will last
twenty to twenty-five years here.
Some poor brick may get in, but the
first winter will generally show the
poor ones, and the company Will re-
