We again call your attent'
ion to the fact that if you
have not already done so,
you had better examine your
wheat at once, and give it
sun shine if not attended to
at once, the most Of it at
least will not be fit to mill
n at all. We speak from ex-
perience and hope you will
take the advice.

Brodson, w. p. Nalley. After the reading
OF the minutes of the last meeting, Secretary
King read several letters received from Maj
Moore Of the metropolitan police force, the
Senate and House committees on appropria-
lions, Senator Mcmillan and the Commits
sioners. Most Of these were in response to
resolutions sent out by the association. Mr..
Bates, chairman Of the committee on fire
and police, told Of a hearing given a COM
mittee consisting Of Mr.. Cox, DR.. Chas. G..
Stone and himself by the House committee
on appropriations. Mr.. Bates seemed to
think that the association had no encourage
ment in the matter Of the pending bill for an
Increase in the fire department.. He said
that Brightwood would more than likely be
entirely left out of the appropriations. Pres
fdent Cox also spoke of this hearing. Secre-
tary King OF the committee on streets, roads
and bridges reported that he had called
twice upon the Commissioners in regard to
the sidewalk asked for by the association.
He said that the Commissioners assured
him that the work would be done within a
short time. although it would be under the
assessment plan. The walk Is to be of brick
and will run along Brightwood avenue from
Genesee street to the post Office on the east
side; then from the post office to the church,
on the west side Of the avenue. The asso-
citation expressed it's pleasure in hearing of
and between the Metropolitan and the Cap
1tal Traction railroad companies in regard
to the street tracks between 7th and 9th
streets northwest. Mr.. Bates spoke of a con-
versation he had had with the Mount Pleas
ant Association about the fire engine. 1t is
supposed that If the Mount Pleasant engine
house is given steam fire engine that
Brightwood will get their chemical engine
The matter Of street extension was discuss
ed for some time, but no action was taken
with the way this matter has been settled
or left entangled.

lay on Its back and the knife with which
the cutting was done lay on his open hand;
