Despite the pouring rain Of Friday
morning, goodly number of represen.
tative women attended the Women's
Caucus at the Court House, in response
to the dodgers circulated the day pre-.
vious. Mrs. Mary Boyd Yoeman called
the meeting to order, and was immedi.
ately elected permanent chairman. In a
neat little speech Mrs. Yoeman accepted
and right skillfully and tactfully per.
formed the duties of the Office. Mrs.
Frank Jeans was elected secretary.
A fair, courteous and bright discussion
of ways, means and methods followed.
A committee of nine was appointed on
nomination, to report Wednesday, March
10, 2:30 p. m at the Court House, to
which time the adjournment was made.
Realizing that, with the privilege OF
voting, comes also responsibility, the
women of Hillsboro propose taking a
right and intelligent hold of this impor.
tant interest-the nomination for mem.
bers of the School Board.

And Why Not Here
EVER SHOWN IN THIS CITY.

Here is an important suggestion from
one of our most enterprisng business
men. He says: Reporter tell the citi
zens of Ri, ley through your paper that
our streets should be put down in hard
brick. Out in Bloomington, Illinois. u
he adds, "brick streets have been in ex.
istence in that city for twenty five wears
and have not cost the tax payers single
copper for repairs since they were put
down." Our town pays from $1,000 to
81 800 every year for street repairs and
in 1895, ST, ,9I7 so was invested this way
The gentleman suggests that we stop the
repairing of our streets tor several years
and take the money and lay our streets
in brick, putting down as much of the
bricks every year as it costs tu repair
say 81, 200 or 81, 800 You will see by
this plan we will soon have good streets
with no extra expense or tax at all, Let
Council look into this matter at once
and give us vitrified brick streets RIP

According to Kentucky paper, when
the telephone was first introduced in
that state an old farmer who did not
exactly understand the working of the
invention, bought new pair of boots
for his son who lived down in Texas.
He hung the footwear across the wire
at sundown one evening. During the
night some one took the boots and placed
pair of old ones across the wire. Next
morning the old gentleman went out and,
to his delight, he saw the old boots. He
hastened into the house, exclaiming to
his wife: "Sal, Sal, this here tellerphone
is the best thingyet. John got his boots
last night, and Pm blasted eff he didn't
send the old uns home!'

The recent purchase OF $4,000 tons OF

physical condition 1t is understood
that these rails will be placed in the track
as soon as possible, and that by fall the
tracks between Baltimore and the Ohio
River will practically be entirely relaid
with new steel and new oak ties. AS fast
as the old rail is taken up it will be relaid
on the less important branches, or used
in extending much needed side tracks.

Tom Moore, the crack bicycle rider
from Hamersville, who won all the first
prizes in the races given in this and
adjoining counties last season, has in.
vented new handle bar for bicycle
which he thinks will be of great aid to
riders and especially those who enter
races. The handle bars are arranged 80
that with each stroke of the pedal they
drop to position where more leverage
may be obtained. Tom has great faith
in it being success and has made ap

and did not wish to see him, and yet

"L'ave i'm to me, mum, Pave i'm to

City Council.

The City Council met in adjourned
session Monday evening, Mayor Davis in
the chair, and all members present.
A communication was received from
John W. Arthur, offering his resignation
as Treasurer and member of Board of
Health. The designations we're accepted
The Mayor appointed Charles johnson
to the vacancy in theTreasuryship. Coun.
Gil failed to confirm the nomination.
The Mayor then appointed J.M.Hughey.
Council again refused to confirm.
Council then took five minutes recess.
The Mayor then appointed Capt. ]. M.
Hiestand. Again Council refused to
confirm.
Richard S. Evans was appointed.
Again Council refused to confirm.
Up to this point there seemed a good
outlook for deadlock. But the Mayor
very sensibly remarked that, having
seen that those he had been asked to
present could not be approved, he did
not propose to be- contrary, and would
offer the name of the gentleman whom
he understood, the Council desired.
Thereupon he presented the name of
James McSurely. This appointment
was Immediately confirmed.
Following this came another recess of
five minutes.
Finance Committee was instructed to
audit the Treasurer's books and report
at the next meeting.
The City Solicitor reported that he had
made plat of the Glenn Addition.
Found streets and alleys properly laid
out. But plat had not been properly
presented to Council or recorded as re.
quired by law. 1t was his opinion, how.
ever, that any improvement by the city
of the streets and alleys would consti-
tute legal acceptance of the same. He
thought Council should renumber the
lots in the Glenn Addition, in order to
prevent confusion.
The matter was referred to commit
tee consisting of Walker, Utman and
McDermott, to report at next meeting.
The Finance Committee reported as to
its disposition of city funds.
The matter of the proper location Of
West Street was brought up by the So.
licitc :, showing that instead of defecting
to the west at Pleasant Street it should
proceed farther south in direct line fol-
about one square. Thus the present
roadway encroaches upon private prop
erty, the owners of which desire theil
own ground. Solicitor thought these
owners should proceed against those
from whom they purchased, and the
latter could proceed against the city
compelling it 20 pay for the ground they
had taken.
Solicitor said Mr.. J. H. Richards want
ed to know if city would sell Park Place
Solicitor was instructed to report at mex
meeting whether Council had the righ
to sell the tract referred to.
Adjourned until the following Monday
