specisI Meeting Of the Town Board.

Town Board met in special SEES
sion Monday night. Pau, Sprauer,
Flick and Kempf present.
The report OF the Commissioners
upon Jos. Eggs I'd pc
tition was rejected, to enable JOS.
Egg to file a Sd petition, which for
the time suits him better than the
old one. Ed. J. Kempi moved To
receive the petition, and Ben
Schroeder, Frank Seibert and Math.
klingel were appointed by the
Board as Commissioners TO assess
the benefits and damages, and that
the commissioners meet for that
purpose at 8 o'clock in the fore
noon on the 22d day Of March,
1897, at the office of b. Buettner.
The clerk was ordered to give
notice to the Commissioners OF their
appointment, and also to the land
owners affected by said street.
Cost of Special meeting. ....... ......S 600
Atty fees on md petition............ loo
Notary Public fees. ................... 90
Commissioner fees. i.oU
Total S25. 90
1t seems that Mr.. Egg should pay
the cost of the I'd petition before
the Sd petition was acted upon.
When the petition for extension OF
7th street was before the same
trustees, and the appraisers report
was set aside, they refused to APP
point new ones, or accept new
petition. There seems to be some
difference as to who is interested IN
getting streets pushed through 9th
er peoples property-and the tax
payers generally foot the bill OF
costs.

4 WONDRous CHANGE.

If the stories that come from Kansas
and some other western States are half
true there doesn't seem to be any need
of emigration from those States to the
more money in Kansas than can be
used. Mr.. Breidenthal, State bank
commissioner. says that he is constant
ly receiving letters from small banks
asking whether they have the legal
right to refuse to accept deposits I'm
der the law last winter no bank may
loan more than four times the amount
of it's capital Where many banks have
capitalization of $1,000 deposits run
up towards $4,000, all above $4,000 be-
ing surplus above the legal limitation
of loans. Mr.. Breidenthal says that this
is general throughout the State in
towns of but few hundred or thou
sand population. He cites an instance
out of many where bank with $1,000
capital in a town of $50 people has
loaned out $4,000 and has $4,000 de-
posits still remaining and more coming
in daily. He has notified this and 9TH
er banks that they may refuse deposits
if they desire.
What a queer 'turn-around" it is.
The Kansas Populsts and calamity
howlers of last year have changed into
bloated moneyed men this year. And
the most curious feature of the whole
business is that they seem to like the
once-hated money. 1t makes differ
ence whose pocketbook 1t is in.

There is one southern newspaper that
doesn't see any need of smooth and
hypocritical talk about the dastardly
attempt to assassinate the negro post
master at Hogansville,, Georgia. 1t Is
the Huntsville (Alabama) Tribune, and
1t is Republican newspaper. 1t says:
We don't believe in putting an odious,
Objectionable negro on any community
as postmaster And if it is done by a
lot of dirty politicians, we don't know
but what few shots in his shoulder
or leg, to remind him that all decent
sensibilities are not dead in the south
ern breast, and that he has to behave
or get another wound is a good thing
We won't lie about this matter, we be-
lieve that the shooting was political,
and that it was done because he was a
mean, objectionable negro We believe
it Is manlier to stand pat on that hand
and say the shooting was excusable, and
will be done again. There are some I'M
written laws inscribed upon the human
breast that We respect, and whose en-
forcement we will always tolerate. Truly
there is nothing in a protective tariff,
a sound money, or progressive policy,
which advocates or tolerates insulting
a community, and it may be put down
that in event such thing is ever done
the result of deception.
In it's very frank remarks the Hunts
Vile Tribune doubtless correctly voices
southern sentiment. And what shock
ing sentiment it is that excuses muir
derous assault on a victim of race preju-

The season for pink teas and such
will soon open. The committee called
into being by the recent school district
meeting visited the board of finance
yesterday afternoon at special meet
ing of the board held for the express
purpose of entertaining the distinguish

and after the talk the committee was
politely yet definitely informed that the

The action of the board of finance
was exactly what it was expected to
be. The board has troubles of it's own,

profited by the performance, and it is

A FIR ST CHARGE

AT noon precisely the signal guns
doomed out, and we sprang to the
charge. From the very first our colonel
blundered. He failed to obey his orders;
he led us wildly in a wrong direction,
under the very guns of one of our bat
teries The hills in front Of us famed
and roared with hostile fire, and our
men were beginning to fall, but this dis
turbed us less than the confusing orders
which sent us now this way, now that.
1t seemed as though the regiment was
doomed to disgrace, if not to destruc-
ton. Then it was that we discovered
the heroic character of our lieutenant
colonel Ignoring his incompetent and
now helpless superior, he calmly as
sumed command, and there, in the face
Of the enemy's fierce fire, halted us, re-
formed our disordered line, and led us
forward once more There was no lack
of courage in the men; they were willing
to do all that could be asked of them.
Throughout the remainder of that dead
ly though glorious charge, the regiment
proved that all it needed was what it
had at last found--a true leader We
gained the crest of the hills along with
the rest of the column. Our first real
battle was fought. We had come
through it, not indeed, faultlessly-feW
new regiments ever do that-but so thai
we could look with reverence upon oui
torn flag, and view our sadly Trimmed
ranks with sorrow. but without shame
