SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD
Aldermen Appealed to Regarding Al
legged Strong Report Of
Street Com 10

Street Com 10
The Board of Alderman have been
called to meet in special session Mon
day, June Goth, to consider the follow
ing complaint and petition:
ITO the Honorable Mayor and Board
of Aldermen of the City of Raleigh:
Gentlemen: We the undersigned
residents and property owners of West
Martin street, between Salisbury and
Mcdowell streets, and others who re-
side in the neighborhood of said point
respectfully petition your Honorable
Board that the Page Lumber Compa-
ny be not allowed to operate the boil
er at the west end of the Academy
of Music, which they are now doing
or proposing to do for the purpose of
furnishing power for the Park Hotel
I'VE make this petition for the rea-
son that the operating of this boiler at
the point mentioned viii be a great
nuisance to property owners and resi-
dents in it's vicinity. 1t viii also en-
danger life and property in our opin-
ion, and create great noise and smoke
in the most populous part of the city
1--WE ask this for the further rea-
son that the power sought can be OBJ
tanned on the premises of said Park
Hotel without creating the nuisance
complained of above.
I'VE trust that notice may be issued
to said Page Lumber Company at the
earliest moment to show cause why
the petition herein made may not be
granted and that the said company
be restrained in the meantime from

The signers are property owners
and residents in the vicinity OF the
Park Hotel and the Academy of Mu-
sic.
All the parties interested have been
notified to appear at the special meet
ing.
1t the meeting the street committee
will. it is said, present a special re-
mort. one OF the strongest documents OF
year. The great work in street inn
provement that has been accomplished
under the administration of the pre-
scnt street committee has been remark
able when one considers the limited
funds at its disposal. The improve
ments have been permanent, and some
streets that were before almost like
blind alleys are taking ON the beauty
of stately avenues. Visitors from out
side towns comment in a most favora-
bic way on the era of street improve
nent that prevails. The work accom-
plished has been permanent and will
benefit the city for generations. 1t
would be a real calamity to have these
improvements cease, and go back to the
old method of working" the streets.

Mrs. Joe Person S Remedy
WILL MOT DO
In Blood Trouble =?

Mrs. Joe Person, think it only JUS
tice to yourself and to all who are af-
fiicted with Scrofula to give you and
the public a statement concerning my
boy who was afflicted with scrofulous
White Swelling. He was but little over
two years old when taken and the
family physician was at once called
to his case. 1t was treated very sue
cessfully during the first stages of the
disease. After this there was no per-
ceptible improvement in his condition
he could not take the physic that was
necessary for him. At this period I
saw Mrs. Person and procured some OF
the Remedy and commenced its use.
The boy began improving very much
and could take Iodide Of Iron and To-
dide of Potassium without any trouble
in connection with Mrs. Persons REM
edy When [ began using the Rene
dy, the knee joint was stiff, he could
not walk a step without assistance.
The knee joint soon improved and he
learned a second time to walk. The
thigh bone was affected and large
quantities dissolved and ran out, like
coarse corn meal.
| continued the use of the Remedy
till the boy was pronounced free from
Scrofula. 1 need not say any more as
he is to-day q living witness as to the
efficacy of Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
earning his living by the sweat of his
brow.

with his parents to Allamakee county,
Iowa, in 1862, and spent most of his boy.
hood days IN and about Waukon.
In 1888 he went to Dakota and filed ou
a homestead four miles north IF Doland.
In 'S4 he was married to Miss Ida Ferris
young lady from Creeco, Iowa, former
ly principal Of the Riceville high school,
and at time of marriage teacher in the
graded school at Frankfort, s. D. In
1883 Frank sold his homestead and went
to Conde, new town twenty-five miles
north of Doland, where he helped build
and start the first store. He was we'll
known in Splnk county as strictly hon

As friend and neighbor, husband

While in Frankfort nearly four wears
lie played the clarinet in the Frankfort
cornet band and also in the Nj. e. choir.
While in Condo he was member of the
Conde cornet band, the best band in
Sphinx county, and also of the Baptist
choir.
He was generally hearty, cheerfnlly
suffering loss and disappointment in
drouth stricken Dakotn.
His parents died in Waukon three
years ago and left him property there.
and he was expecting to move his fam.
lily to Iowa this spring. He leaves a
wife and two children-sged and .
to mourn his loss, besides his brothers
and sisters.
His brother Jerry started in answer to
telegram, but did not arrive in time to
see his brother alive.
Impressive services we're held in Con-
dc conducted by the cornet band, where
many Of his friends met to pay their
tribute of respect to one whom they had
known and loved SO long January 90
his body, accompanied by his family and
brother. started for Waukon. The band,
with draped instruments and playing a
favorite dirge of his, followed the casket
to the train. On the crowded platform
they joined choir In singing beauti.
full farewell.
The funeral service in Waukon was
held in the Presbyterian church, where
Rev. Vanice, who but three years before
had stood above his father and mother,
now spoke fitting and comforting words
! to his sorrow stricken friends. In each
instance his beloved instrument was
draped in mourning, wreathed in flowers
and laid upon the casket.
He was laid to rest beside his father
aud mother in Oakland cemetery Feb.
