SENSATIONAL RUMoRs There was
& report in circulation last night in
portions Of Alexandria county 10 the
elec. that tue negro who assault ed
Mrs Dean early Tuesday morning on
the Arlington road had been captured
and was to be brought to this city for
.afekeeping. An sttache at st. Asaph
tel-paoued the report to the police sta
uOn in this city, experimenting it by
saying body OF white mea had been
formed with the svowed purpose OF
breaking open the Jail and lynching
the negro. Thereport caused considera
bic excitement here as it was noised
about. This morning the rumor was
slili further circulated and was added
10 AS it passed from mouth to mouth,
the lss' aidi ion being that the Alsx-
sudua Light Infantry had been put I'M
der arms to prevent d mob from taking
the law into their own hands. The
whole thing however, was made out
OiNAol- cloth. The negro is still at
large, although every Effort is being
made to discover his whereabouts.

CITY COUNCIL.

A called meeting of the City Council
WAS held last night to receive the report
of the committee appointed at the last
meeting 10 inspect the gravel being
used 10 the construction Of The road
ways in different sections of the city.
The committee, composed of Aldermen
Clark and Curtin and Councilmen
Moore and Kelly, submitted their re-.
port, which claimed that the gravel be-
ing used is composed of clay, gravel,
and iron, which the committee thought
would make an admirable material to
be used over broken stones in the con
struction Of roadways through the city.
The commlttee recommended that the
City Council instruct the committee on
streets 10 continue It's work. The com
mittee also stated that it had visited
Gibbon and Commerce strents. The
latter was reported to be in excellent
condition. a portion of Gibbon street
was said to be 10 condition unfavor-
a)le to the health OF its residents, owing
TO poor drainage. Fhe committee rec
omm -nded that careful attention be
paid to the cutters throughout the city.
A letter was read in both boards from
Maurice Hacker, assistant engineer of
the D's.r c. of Columbia, in which that
official stated that he had examined the
gravel being used in this city, aud that
he considered it the proper material for
the work for which it is being used.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Five members of the Aldermen were
present. The session which. was brief,
ended without causing debate.
The report OF the special committee
referred to aoove was sent in from the
Common Council and til ir action con-
Cured in.
Mr.. Hill then submitted report from
Mr.. Mau!i'e Hack, r, Assistant En-
gineer OF tue District OF Columbia, on
the nature of the miterial being used
Tor the repairing of the streets of the
city. Mr. Hill said Mr.. Hacker had
come here at his request and made a
personal examination, and that that
gentleman had pronounced it the best
that could be used for such purposes.
Mr.. Clark moved that Mr.. Hackers
letter be embodied with that of the COM
mittee, and the motion prevailed.
The action of the Common Council in
referring to the committee on streets d
resolution appropriating 5000 for com
pleting the graveling of portions Of

Let Us Sympathize Together.

In an article headed "It's Only Elk
cessive Modesty," the editor Of the
McCook Tribune offers the following
apology to readers who judge q town
by its papers: 1T Is to be fondly hoped
that the public does not take the news
papers Of McCook Is representative OF
the business enterprise Of the city
That IL, we mean, that we fondly hope
the people who buy goods will not look
over the advertising pages OF the Nc
Cook papers and from their lack of ad.
vertisements decide that the business
men of McCook have no goods to sell
or are lacking in enterprise, or any
thing of that sort. The facts are that
the merchants of McCoOk have as
many goods as ever, and perhaps are
selling them rs reasonable as ever, and
that the merchants of McCOok are
as anxious. to sell goods as they have
ever been, and all that. The reason
they do not use printers ink must not
be attributed to any lack of faith in ad'
vertising, or fear that the newspaper
men will become too fat and saucy
from.excessive wealth, or anything OF
that sort, but must be credited to
sheer modesty nothing else"
The Red Cloud chief., 1899-02-24
Farmers and Advertisements

Two farmers were once discussing
their local paper, says a Nebraska ex
change. One thought 1t had too many
advertisements in 1t; the other replied
"In my opinion the advertisements are
far from being the least valuable part
of it,. look them yer carefully and
save at least five times the cost OF the
paper each week through the business
advantages l get from them" Said
the other, ~ believe you are right
know that they pay me well and rather
think it 10 not good taste to find fault
with the advertisements after ALL"
Those men have the right idea OF the
matter. 1t pays any man with a fami-
ly to take a good local paper for the
sake OF the advertisements II nothing
more. And IL business men fail to
give farmers a chance to read adver'
tiseme nts in the local paper they
are blind to their own interests to
say the least of it.. This is quite true.
"You never trade with me,"i said q
business man to a prosperous farmer"
"You have never invited me to your
place OF business and l never go where
| am not invited; | might not be well
come" was his reply.
