He thought some compromise ought
to be made between the city and
Mr.. Rouse before something happen
ed for which the city would be liable.
Engineer Haynes said that he had
offered Mr.. Rouse the dirt in the fall
but he had refused it and now there
would not be any left.
Alderman Adams told of the recent
burning down of store in Dukes ad-
dition, and said that most of the
neighbors knew nothing of the fire at
the time because there is no fire

He moved that a bell tower be built
on top of their hall, the whole thing
completed not to cost over $50. This
carried.
Aid. Adams brought up the matter
of paying back the 800 license to
the plumbers and wanted to know
what the council was going to dc
about it. Most of the aldermen
seemed to think that the council had
nothing to do in this matter until
the plumbers demanded the money.
and then it would be time enough tc
act. The matter was dropped.
Alderman Zimmerman spoke about
the failure of the Omaha company tC

this neglect caused to teams. Mayor
Weaver will notify the company OF
the former action of the council.
The council adjourned until next

ANOTHER SAD DEATH.
Mrs. G. ID. Benack Passes Away
After a Brief Illness.

Mrs. G. D. Benack died at two
o'clock Monday at her residence
in the Patterson block, of Inflammation
of the bowels, complicated with other
troubles. She had been sick
eight days and the disease took a
severe form from the start, although
at times she seemed to improve. She
suffered greatly throughout her ILL
ness, and during the last hours was
unconscious. Mrs. Benack was thirty
four years of age last October. She
was born at North Adams, Mass,
where she resided for twenty years.
She then moved to Ray Heights,
South Dakota, where she was united
in marriage with Mr.. Benack four
teen years ago. After residence
there of five years, she moved
to MankaUo with her husband
nine years ago. Two child
rem survive her, Arthur, aged
twelve, and Marie, aged six years.
Mrs. Lumbert, whose only child she
was, was with her at the time of her
death. Her aunt, Mrs. Haynes, awho
resides as North Adams, Mass, was
telegraphed to this morning and re-
piled this afternoon that she would
start tonight in order to be present at
the funural Friends from ncBlue
Earth City are also expected to at
tend the funeral, which will take
place from the Episcopal church.
The deceased was a most excellent
lady in all respects, and had large
circle of friends. She was the idol of
her husband and children, who have
the sympathy of all in their great
loss and affection. Cutoff in the prime
of life, her death seems doubly hard
to bear, and she will be all the more
missed from her accustomed places.
But it is useless to try to understand
the rulings of the inscrutable.

EDITOR FREE PRESS:
DEAR Shiny attention has been
called to the following item published
in your paper last week:
Sam Pond, whose settlement with the Omaha
railroad was mentioned in these columns on
Monday, received $4,000 for five acres of land
while the commissioners gave him only $4,000
for twelve acres.
Permit me to correct these state
ments. The settlement referred TIC
was made by me, and covered all the
land which the commissioners in the
condemnation proceedings allowed
the 50, coo for, and in addition all the
tract shown on the plat as the Park
containing several acres, and also all
damages resulting to the adjoining
lots and blocks still owned by Mr.
Pond. The deed from Mr.. Pond tc
the railway company is now being
recorded, and Can be seen at the
