A SAD DEATH.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Pond Lose Their
Daughter, Nellie.

Nellie, the Oldest daughter of Mr.,
and Mrs, Geo. Pond, died at st
Joseph's hospital at twenty minutes
after one o'clock Friday afternoon. from
appendicitis and complications of long
standing. She was fourteen years of
age and was bright and active girl, of
most lovable disposition, and favorite
with all who knew her Her death
causes genuine regret and the bereaved
family have the sympathy of all.
Nellie's health became rather delicate
last fall and she was taken from school
on the advise of her physician, yet she
was able TO be around during the win
ter and apparently was in fair health.
She was out during the fore part of the
week with other girls of her age and
was as cheerful as usual AS an opera
ton was deemed necessary, she was
taken to the hospital Wednesday
There, DR.. James E. Moore, a LEADING
physician of Minneapolis, saw her and
confirmed the advice of the local ply
sicians as to the need of an operation.
and the latter was performed
Thursday forenoon. 1t was a
most difficult operation, lasting
several hours and not being concluded
until one o'clock. Dr. Merrill was the
attending physician, but the operation
was performed by DR.. Warner, assisted
by Drs Merrill and Holbrook. 1t was
found that the young patients condition
was much worse than could have posi-
bly, been known while she was living,
and there were practically no hopes for
her, IT covery.

ON INST BALLOT
Aid. Fowler is Elected City AS
SCISSOR.
The Old Council Winds up its Business
Monday Morning and Adjourns
Sine Die.

The council balloted 10 times Satur
day night for an assessor and then did
| not elect one. Aid Fowler received
three votes as rule. Aid. Adams one
and sometimes two, and Assessor
Lille two and sometimes one, with an
occasional scattering vote for the
amusement of the crowd that waited
patiently in the lobby. Hour after
hour was taken up in the balloting,
but it was good natured throughout.
The roll call slips were cut up and used
for ballots.
Aid. Fowler is presumed to have re-
ceived his own vote and that of Aids.
Fritz and Bradley. Aid. Adams is pre-
sumed to have received his own vote
and that of Aid. Zimmerman when he
got more than one vote. Mr.. Lille is
presumed to have received Aid. Peter
sons vote and Aid. Himmelman's vote
when he received two votes.
1t was the longest contest on record
in the council, and was stubbornly
fought out
Mayor Pau presided at the meeting
and all of the aldermen were present.
After the official returns of last Tues
days election had been canvassed, Aid
Fritz moved that the council proceed to
the election of an assessor for the ensu-
ing two years. The first ballot stood
Fowler three, Adams two, Lille one
The balloting went on steadily until
116 ballots had been taken and every
body was thoroughly tired. Then Aid
Zimmerman moved that the council
proceed with other business, and this
was carried
The bills were taken up and allowed.
Aid Bradley moved that if there was
any mony left in the treasury after the
bills were paid some of the floating in
debtedness be taken up, and this was
carried. This was quite a humorous
motion, as it is needless to say that the
treasury is empty
Aid. Peterson moved that when the
council adjourned it be until Monday
at 1000 a. M, TO approve the minutes,
etc.
Aid. Fritz moved that the counc il
! proceed again with the election of an
assessor, and this was done
After 40 more ballots had been taken,
Aid. Peterson moved that the council
adjourn. This was lost by vote of
four to one.
Six more ballots were taken and Aid.
Peterson renewed his motion to ad
journ and Mayor Pau declared it carri-
ed. The last ballot stood, Fowler

Alderman Fowler Elected.

All of the aldermen present at the
meeting of the council Monday forenoon,
Vice President Petersen presiding. The
meeting had more than usual interest,
for it was the last gathering of the old
body. The minutes of several proceed
ing meetings were read and approved.
Mayor Pau sent in message with
three appointments on the library board.
Jno. G. Noe was appointed to succeed
himself, and E. L Patterson and Oscar
Bierbauer were appointed to succeed
Dr. J A Hielscher and L A. Under
The appointments were confirmed.
Aid. Fowler called attention to the
fact that the curb stones on Walnut
street are breaking to pieces and said
that the new council should hold the
contractor to his bond. Some of the
curbing on other streets is also going
to pieces.
d. P. Hayes, who put in the Walnut
street curbing, said that he intended to

ADJOURNED AGAIN.
The Fifth Street Assessment is Still
Unsettled.

The board of public works held a
meeting sFriday afternoon to levy a
new assessment for grading Fifth
street between Cherry and Warren and
for constructing the stone culvert over
Warren creek. 1t is not yet known
whether the legislature will make a
special appropriation for the Normal
school, and until it is known whether
the school will pay part of the cost ii
will be impossible to levy an assess
ment Therefore an adjournment was
taken until April 25th, by which time
the legislature will have adjourned and
it will be known how much the school
will pay.

BRICK SIDEWALK.
A New Kind That May Become
Popular,

City Engineer Thompson received by
express today from Boone, Iowa, a
sample of street paving brick and one
of sidewalk brick manufactured and
used there The sidewalk brick is a
novelty and is said to give good salts
faction. 1t is about nine inches square
and has a corrugated surface to pre-
vent slipping. The claim is made that
it will last twenty five to fifty years, and
cost no more than wooden sidewalks.
A six foot walk costs 20 to 20 cents per
running foot. A walk at Boone has
been down for twelve years and shows
no wear. The blocks are laid fat on a
foundation of cinders and sand. The
sidewalk brick is as hard as paving

damages to his property by reason of

alleges that the city has no culvert or

His attorney, w N. Plymat, intended
to present it at the meeting last Satur-

ready to report.

March 18th The letter came through in
less time than it usually takes Mr..
Ario formerly lived in this city. We
are permitted to take the following ex-
tracts from the letter:

and well yet suppose you must have
lost all trace of me, for there have years
gone by since wrote you last. made

got to Dawson June 25th last. l had
hired to company for one year and to
get one-half of what found, but after
four months the company got bursted
and there were forty men of us left
without anything to eat, but the Lord
was with me- 1 hustled round and got
a job to get twenty cords of fire wood.
l had to raft that down the Yukon
river That gave me start, for could
get some provisions, and after that
got work on road at one dollar per
hour On that job made $500 in two
months, so that helped me out wonder
fully, for man can live in Alaska for
less than So. 80 day.
81 have not done anything since Dec.
18th, as there are ten men for one job,
but have been out prospecting some,

have not found any, but l do think
that the chances are as good today as
they ever were and / shall look for it
until I find it. l am only sorry didn't
come to Alaska fifteen years ago, for
something kept telling me for years
that l should give up everything and go
to Alaska.
Now, will describe to you the
country and give you prices of what
everything costs here. The winter is
very long here. but it isn't much colder
than in the Lake Superior country, Min
nesota. The winter set in September
last and November was a very cold
month, but the weather was very fine
for we hardly have any wind and no
snow storms, The snow falls here very
light and the highest that fell at one
tine was about two inches. In the
months of December and January
are it was showing most every day. l
was out the whole of January looking
for gold There were seven of US in a
party. We went up this great Klon-
dixie river that you hear so much about,
about $50 miles from Dawson and
camped out every night for five weeks
and did not find it as cold as | did in
in Minnesota. On that trip I got ac-
quainted with man from Mankato
His name is Maxfeld He was hunting
moose.
Now, will give you the cost of liv-
ing. Flour is $16 per hundred, bacon
and salt pork 25 cents per pound, coffee

Aid. Fowlnr, fol d spec -.1mlttee
appointed 20 prepare resolutions
on the death of the late Chas. 1.
Brown, presented the following report,
which was adopted:
Whereas. Death has again cast its
shadow over our city and taken from
amongst us good citizen and kind
husband Charles l. Brown was for
merly City Engineer of this city, and
we, as its representatives wish to pay
a tribute of respect and love to his
memory. AS an Engineer his abilities
were of the highest type, as citizen
he was worthy of the highest respect,
as friend he was true, Just, honest
and faithful, as husband he was a
true man, honorable and kind, and
when success in his chosen profession
was almost within his grasp disease
marked him for a victim and brought
him to an untimely grave. Bowling to
the will of an allwise Providence, and
striving to shun his few faults, and
emulate his many virtues, we commit
the memory Of Charles l Brown to the
affection of his family and friends who
loved him. To the one who has lost a
devoted, affectionate, tender husband,
and his brothers and sisters we tender
our coincidence and sympathy
Therefore, Be it Resolved. that an
engrossed copy of these resolutions be
presented to the wife of our absent
friend. That they be published in the
city papers and sprt ad upon the records
of the city

Aid. Fritz moved that the election of
an assessor be again proceeded with,
aud this was carried.
One ballot settled the matter, for
Aid. Fowler received five votes and
Mr.. Lille one, and Aid, Fowler was de-
clared elected. Aids Adams and Him
melman presumably settled the matter
by changing their votes to Aid Fowler
The announcement of the result was
received with applause in the lobby,
Aid. Fowler was called on for remarks
and said that he was much obliged for
the election and would try to do what
was right and fill the office to the
best of his ability.
Aid. Bradley suggested to the new
assessor that he would not like to find
him sitting in his chair and copying the
old assessment list as had been done for
fifteen years past. He would like to
have him visit personally the different
houses and not get his information from
hearsay.
I Aid. Fowler replied that he under
stood that what Aid. Bradley had said
was his duty and that he would try to
do it
On the recommendation of Aid. Him
melman, the matter of covering the
heating pipes in the basement of the fire
station was left to the new council

On motion of Aid Himmelman, this
was ordered done

proved and the council adjourned sine
