To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council
of the City OF Ow0ssO:
Gentlemen-YOur committee on streets and
sidewalks to whom was referred the matter OF
investigation of the subject of purchasing stone
crusher for the use of the city would report as
follows:
We promptly took the matter up by CORES
pondence with several persons Interested In the
sale of stone crushers and with different cities
that own and use them and herewith submit the
correspondence.
We have also obtained some propositions for
the sale of a stone crusher TO the city, which
propositions we also submit as part of this report.
From our investigation and correspondence
we recommend to the council the purchase of
stone crusher, believing II would be adequate to
the needs of the city, and that 1t would be econ
omy for the city to take some measures to i'm.
prove the streets of the city by the use OF crushed
stone. as II will be many years before the city
should be put to the expense of buying brick or
other pavement on many Of the city streets. and
that the continued use OF the gravel of the quail
ty the city has Is of no practical benefit to streets
having large amount OF travel thereon.

After completing his course of studies
in Denison University, Mr.. Shepardson
took three years course of post-gradu-
ate work at Yale University, and then
spent months of travel in Europe. Three
years more of study at the Theological
Seminary, Chicago, during which time
he was instructor in Hebrew, English

While serving as assistant pastor to
Doctor Henson, Chicago, and while in
the midst of blessed work, he was
stricken with paralysis, and for two years
a constant sufferer, since which time he
has been preaching in wheel chair, and
everywhere has met with the greatest
success in evangelistic services.
In addition to his earnest evangelistic
spirit, the Doctor combines the power of
thoroughly educated and scientific

best of all his work lasts. The Rev. Doc

He Belongs to All.

From st. Louis Republic.
Admiral Dewey's declaration that he
will not under any circumstances con-
sent to become q candidate for President
is calculated to cause few ambitious
gentlemen to sleep more soundly. The
reasons he gives are good. Politics is
one thing, the navy is another. He has
spent his life in mastering the duties and
details of his chosen profession. In the
game of politics he says he would be a
tyro and the strain of political strife
would be unwelcome to his tastes; irritat-
ing and unsatisfactory even should sue
cess be its outcome.
Herein speaks the cool sanity and en-
inent common sense OF the man. The
same qualities of clear vision, accurate
judgemnt and calm decision that en-
abled him to gain one of the greatest
naval victories of modern times and to
grasp and control with skill, firmness and
success, in the face Of a multitude of
difficulties, a situation fraught for his
government with perilous complications,
show forth in his determination to re-
main in the navy.
While Dewey would no doubt make
most excellent president, his incumbency
would create vacancy in the branch of
public service of which he is the head
that would be hard to fill. Where he is
he occupies unique place in the hearts
of his countrymen Their patriotic re-
gard for him is unblurred by partisanship
and unclouded by political strife.
As Presidential candidate he would
be appropriated by section of. our citi-
zenship. As the great, wise and victori-
GUS Admiral he is the pride and possess
sion of all.
