OBITUARY..

Mrs. Margaret Brady, foster-moth-
er of T. S. Clark, departed this life at
an early hour Saturday morning, the
sad event occurring at the family resi-
dence, 301 North Church street, after
an illness OF three weeks A general
breaking down of the earthly structure
was the cause of death, which, for
one of her advanced age, S4 years,
was not to be wondered at. Mrs.
Brady was a native OF the County
Antrim, Ireland, and emigrated to the
United States when young lady
Rochester, n. Y, was her first home,
and there she was married to Thomas
Brady. Together they came West in
the early '4O's, residing for several
years in Milwaukee, after which. in
1S49, they settled on farm in the town
of Emmett. In 1866 the deceased moved
into the city and resided here up to the
time Of her demise. Her husband died
some twentythree years ago. Mrs.
Brady adopted Mr. Clark when he was
a child and ever since he had made
his home with her. She was
woman of kindly impulses and noble
characteristics, and her memory will
be cherished by many who had felt
her Christian ways. She lived within
the golden rule, and in her daily walks
ever strived to be just and honorable,
a good neighbor and true friend.
During her final illness Mrs Brady
was cared for by her two nieceS, Mrs
Mary Steel, OF Western Union juno
ton, and Miss Mary Osborn, of Ra-
cine. The funeral Monday morning
from ST. Bernard's church was largely
attended.
Emil Honerjaeger, son of our towns
man, E. R. Honerjaeger, died last
Friday at Appleton, where he was
employed at his trade, that of a tin
smith. Deceased was raised in this
city and was well and favorably
known. His age was about 25 years.
The remains reached here Saturday
and the funeral took place Sunday
afternoon, the services being conduct
ed by the Modern Woodmen, of which
order the deceased was member
The iuterment was at Oak Hill ceme-
terry.
Mrs. Louisa Neumann, aged 81
years, died Thursday at the home Of
her son-in-law, Ferdinand Voss, who
resides five miles west of this city, on
the Plank road. She is survived by
two daughters and four sons. The
funeral was held Sunday afternoon
from ST. Marks Lutheran church.
Mreand Mrs. Rudolph Block, ia
Cady street, mourn the death of their
4-months-old child, which occurred
Sunday evening. The funeral will be
held this afternoon.
Tie infant child of Henry E. Moser
and wife, 308 East avenue, died
Thursday night and was buried Satur-
day afternoon.

THE FAIR
FARMERS ARE NOT The ONLY PEOPLE
WHO MAY REAP A RICH HARVEST

That is, if we may be allowed
to use figurative language and speak
of our customers reaping harvest of
good values. One fact stands out
strongly this fall, and that is, that
never has there been a time more fa-
vorable to consumers. Prices were
at the lowest notch first before the new
wave of prosperity flowed in, and mer-
chants. that's, wide-awake merchants,
loaded up with big stock which can
be sold at old prices. Thus the pub
lie with its increased purchasing pow
er can enjoy what the boys call ''a
snap" If you want to get the full
benefit of this happy combination
come here to do your buying.

TAXATION RAISED.
The Council Increases the Original
Levy on Two Items.


Levy on Two Items.
At the adjourned session of the
common council Monday evening the
matter of raising more money for the
benefit of the public schools was con-
sidered and resulted in the passage of
resolution providing that II mills
upon the dollar be levied on all tax
able property for school building pur-
poses. 1t was contended from the
first by the Board of Education that
the original levy of Al mills would not
be adequate, as improvements to the
present buildings were needed and it
was in reality an urgent necessity that
more room be provided-if not by a
new school building, then by renting
quarters some place. The schools are
over-crowded and have been for some
time Besides the need of money for
building purposes, greater amount
is also needed for teachers wages, as
it was necessary to increase the corps
of teachers this fall.
Aid. keSsler wanted 2 mills levied
in place of }, but Ald. Wer5heimer
said that the latter levy would raise
$4,000, which was all that was
asked for. His resolution was passed,
with ten affirmative votes and two de-
clining to vote. Then Aid. Skinner
moved for an additional levy of } mill
for school purposes, bat no one sec
onded the motion.
Another discrepancy in the matter
Of tax levy was found since the last
meeting in the amount to be raised
for waterwOrks purposes, or, as it is
termed, hydrant rental fund. The
amount levied October 5 for this pur-
pose was 2 mills upon the dollar.
Aid. Wertheimer moved to reconsider
that action, which carried, aud then
by resolution substituted 81 mills as
the levy. The resolution passed un-
animOusly.
The coal contracts were let as fol-
lows: Scranton to A. S. McGolrick at
Sc. 81 per ton; Hooking Valley to P.
j. Euper at So. 81 per ton.
The committee on fire department
reported that the damage done to
the doorway of the east side engine
house and to the No. l hose wagon
had been made good by the driver,
Joseph Jantzen. The committee rec
commended the passage of an ordi-
nance to exclude persons not firemen
from the engine houses at the time of
fire alarms.
An effort was made to enact
measure providing for the construction
of a sewer on Fifth street between
Milwaukee street and Western avenue,
but it lacked the required three
quarters vote, Aid. Needham voting
no and Aid. A. Meyer declining to
vote. 1t was stated that the reason
the sewer was wanted was on account
of the overflow of a cess-pool at E.
Mays residence, which, it was feared,
had something to do with cases of
diphtheria in the neighborhood.
Health Commissioner Field was OF
the opinion that the cess-pool had
not caused the present cases, but
that it would be proper to remedy
the evil and thus take the prevention.
The action was not reconsidered.

company to place thirteen samples of

Rare Musical Event.

No doubt many of our readers will
remember Miss Clara Williams,
daughter of former proprietor of the
west side drug store, who resided
here for a while in the early sos,
then removing to Minneapolis. Even
at that time, when the lady was but
a mere girl, she exhibited extraordi-
nary musical talent, which has since
been cultivated by the best of tutors
at home and abroad. Miss Williams
is about to pay visit to friends at
Columbus, where she also formerly
lived, and testimonial concert, at
which she will sing, is being arranged
to take place at the Auditorium,
Tuesday evening, November g. This
will be a musical event of rare merit
and the friends of Miss Williams here
abouts should embrace this fine op-
portunity of hearing her. She will
only sing at Columbus, Milwaukee,
Chicago and New York before return
ing to England to resume her work
under Randegger The best of local
talent will assist in the concert.
Persons in neighboring towns desirous
of securing reserved seats should
address A. S. Waldo, Columbus, Wis.
