must be spent to place it in condition
for service again.
The railroad company also received
considerable property loss, as the
heavy wagon being thrown against the
cars wrought havoc. The exhaust pipe
of the engine was broken off as if it
had been straw and every step on
the wess side of the train was smash
ed so that the cars must all be sent to
the repair shop before they can be
used. None of the trainmen or passen-
gers were injured.
Steps have already been taken to
secure a new team, but it will be hard
indeed to find horses which can fill the
place of the noble browns.

All New This Year.

Prof. Gentry's famous dog and pony
show, with many new acts and features
added this year, will exhibit under
canvas in this city, at the orchard on
Congress and Dayton streets, Monday,
Sept. 18th, at 2:30 and s p. m.
The show is decidedly the best of its
kind in the world, and never fails to
give the best of satisfaction. The en-
tertainment is strictly moral and enjoys
the distinction of being the only show
travelling under canvas that interteres
in no way with any belief, creed or
religion, and is endorsed by the clergy
and school uperintendents wherever
it exhibits. The prices of admission
are, children, 15c; adults, 25c.

TALKED GARBAGE.
CITY COUNCIL DISCUSS SANITARY
REFORM.
FOUR ORDINANCES PRESENTED
Extension for the North Side Sewer
is ordered Notwithstanding Re-
monstrances- Asks for Annexa-
tion to the City.

The city council met in adjourned
session Monday evening, but most of
the important business was laid over
until future session.
The city fathers first met as Board
of Health and the president of the
board brought up several questions
which are of great Importance. The
first was the subject of garbage and
the disposal of it. The advancement
of the city in population demands that
something must be done to take care of
the waste matters that are being daily
thrown off in great quantities. The
health officer presented an ordinance
which provided that no garbage should
be deposited on the streets or in public
places. Vegetable and animal refuse
must be kept separate from the ashes
and the city will make contract for
the disposal of the garbage The old
privy vault question also was discussed
and the health officer is determined to
drive this relict of. barbarsm out of the
city wherever it is possible. An ordi-
nance was presented for this purpose,
but was not acted upon'as the memb ers
of the board desire to give the matter
further consideration. An ordinance
requiring the burial of dead animals
outside the city limits met a similar
fate.
When the council met the usual
number of petitions for sewers and
sidewalks we're presented, as we'll as a
remonstrance against the building of
sidewalk along the west side OF South
Exchange street.
Mrs. Bridget Kearney bobbed up
again with a communication to the
council, offering to settle her suit
against the city for $1,000 The council
have decided to attempt a settlement
in some manner and a special commit
tee consisting of Aid. !Gonnermann,
Calkins and Berns, with the Mayor
added, were given entire charge of the
affair.
The revised estimate of the school
expenses was presented demanding
the expenditure Of $27 ,279 by the city
for the coming year and referred to the
committee on finance.
The nominations for election inspect
ors and clerks were made by the Mayor
and confirmed by the council.
The sewer committee reported favor
ably on the,extensiOn of the Milwaukee
avenue sewer, and the remOnstrance
recently presented, was laid on the
table.
In regard to the matter of the con-
tract for catch basins the council was
anxious to let the work to local bidders
but the difference between the two bids
was so large that the contract was let
to the Reichert Construction Co., of
Racine.
The council was also called upon to
consider an ordinance for the annexa-
ton of the property of Mrs. Martin and
Edward Balm, at the,south limits of the
city, but on motion of Aid. Frank, the
matter was deferred for thirty days.
Council then Radjourned to meet this
evening.

THE government won't be out of a
job even after the peace between this
country and Spain has been satisfac-
torily concluded. With the Philip
pines, Porto Rico and Cuba Opposed of
Hawaii will afford food for thought
and Canada and the United States have
few questions to settle which will
require some very careful handling.
Indeed, after the questions brought up
by the war have ceased to occupy the
first place in public attention, there
will follow a general resumption of old,
unfinished business which will prove
very interesting.

SCHOOL BOARD MEET.
No Business of Importance Transacted
at the Meeting.

No Business of Importance Transacted
at the Meeting.
The Board of Education held their
regular bi-monthlY meeting at the
Central school building Tuesday night,
the entire Board being present. Most
of the session was taken up in the
transac ton Of routine business. The
Board also recommended that some
effort be made to distribute the work
among the High fschool teachers in
such way that Principal Wiswall will
have more time forssvisitiDg the primary
grades of the different schools. This
work has been forced to be neglected
during the past year, on account of
the amount of teaching he was forced
to give up his entire time to the work.
The changes proposed will allow Prof.
Wiswall to spend a good portion of the
day in looking over the work in the
other buildings.
The new building is being pushed
rapidly to completion and will be
ready on schedule time.
The usual number of bills were al
lowed after which the Board adjourned.

A BOLD ROBBERY.
Burglars Steal Valuable Relics From the
Residence of william Goodman.

Burglars Steal Valuable Relics From the
Residence of william Goodman.
On Tuesday afternoon, during the
absence of the family, thieves entered
the residence of William Goodman just
south of town and succeeded in carry
ing away plumber whose value was
considerable more than the monetary
cost. The burglars are supposed to
have been tramps and first made their
way into the cellar by taking out a
window Not being able to reach the
house in this manner they went up
stairs again and broke in through a
window at the rear end Of the house.
Once in the house the fellows tore
things at a lively rate. All the
drawers we're torn out and even beds
were torn to pieces in the search for
plumber. In some of the rooms they
managed to secure a number of suits of
clothes, pair of gold eye glasses and
a telescope. They also secured a box
of old coins which we're regarded as
very valuable and among which was a
Colonial half dollar, which had been a
great prize Of the Goodman family.
Another valuable relic stolen was a
snuff box over thirty years old, which
had been a present to Mr.. Goodman's
father. The case has been reported to
the police, but no trace of the fellow
or fellows can be found.

IF AcQuinaldo had known when he
was we'll off he would have observed
the armistice and put himself at the
disposal of Gen. Merritt or Admiral
Dewey. But the little insurgent I'M
fortunately did not know this, and
instead of behaving like good boy
got cross and sulky and went right on
regarding himself as the Mogul of
Luzon and acting accordingly. The
fact that all the Spaniards in the is
land were concentrated at Manila in
order to resist a land and sea attack
by the combined United States forces,
left the rest of the island comparatively
open to attack. Under these condi-
tions Acquinaldo and his forces we're
able to possess themselves of the bulk
of the island. This success and appear
ance of power so turned the young
mans head that he was confident
enough to demand ridiculous terms of
the United States when Manila was
finally given up to Miles. The result
is that little Acquinaldo has received
an urgent invitation to get ont. 1t is
scarcely possible that he will refuse to
accept the invitation when he has had
so impressive illustrations of Uncle
Sans resentment of such conduct.

Mrs. Plummer, who resides on Gar

good many years was cOachman for
Edward Balm, left this morning for
Salem, H., where they expect to be
married this evening. They attempted
to keep their journey secret, and thus
surprise their friends when they re-
turned, but it leaked out, and this
morning Mrs. Plummer was more sur
prised than her friends would ever
have been, to find bag of rice tied to
her front door as she opened it to
leave for the depot.
Their many friends expect to meet
them when they return, and give them
a royal welcome.

THE many, old, mooted questions
which have for years been a source of
irritation to the relations which should
be friendly between the United States
and Canada, are again taking con-
spicuous place in the diplomatic pro-
grams of the two governments. A
year ago Wilfred Laurier visited this
country with the purpose of settling
these distressing disputes once and for
all. At the time the prospects seemed
very bright indeed, for the accom-
plishment of that end. But, unfortu-
nately, one cause and another conspired
against the success of the conference
with the result that the Premier re-
turned to Canada without the fulfill
ment of his mission. Now another
attempt is about to be made. On his
previous visit Mr.. Laurier sought to
empody the combined questions in one
comprehensive budget. This policy, it
was hoped, would facilitate the termi-
nationof the hackneyed dispute. Owing
to the unsatisfactory outcome the
method will be radically changed this
time, and instead of cOndensing them
in single proposal, each question will
be determined separately and on its
own merits.
According to G.. W. Curtis, the able
Washington correspondent for the Chi
cago Record, the schedule will be dis
posed of in the following manner. The
long standing dispute over the seals of
the North Pacific will be settled by
having the congress of the United
States appropriate money to buy the
ships and outfits of the Canadian
sealers. The boundary line between
Alaska and the Northwest territory
will be determined by corps of
experts. A settlement of the
labor troubles will be accom-
plished by the passage of a
law by the Canadian parliament sim
liar to the immigration law Of the
United States, shutting out paupers,
lunatics, contract laborers and all other
undesirable foreigners. When this is
done the restriction against Canadian
laborers entering the United States
and vice versa will be removed. The
Rush Baggott treaty, prohibiting the
construction or maintenance of men
of war upon the great lakes by either
government will be modified so that
ship builders of the lake ports may
compete for government business.
The extradition treaty will be amended
to allow officers of the law to convey
prisoners from one point in the United
States to another through Canadian
territory and vice versa. Concerning
the time worn controversy over the
enjoyment of bonded privileges by
Canadian railways it will be hung W
until there exists more unity of feeling
on this subject in this country.
This is a very good program and it is
devoutly wished by all good citizens,
both Canadian and American, that it
may be carried out to the letter. The
prospects for a final and agreeable
adjustment are made brighter than
ever before by the strong feeling OF
friendliness so recently developed be-
tv cen our government and Great Brit
ain. There is no doubt that there is a
readiness on both sides to sacrifice in
order to promote the much desired
results. A final ending of these dis
putes will be another bond of utilization
between the two nations and viii be
hailed with unbounded delight on both
sides of the water.
