THERE is piece Of pavement on
Spruce street extending from Fenton
Rice's to the property owned by Frank

sence The sidewalk should be laid

CITIZEN proposes new council in

have general expression on the sub

drawing near and some definite policy
should be adopted.
New houses ought to be built by
all who have little money to invest.
There is nothing that will bring bet
ter return on the investment in mon
ey and there is nothing that will add
to the advancement of the town as
the completion of enough houses to
accommodate the people who want
to come here to live.
The Baptist ladies will not only

A PROPOSITION has been made To
some members Of council by citizen
here to keep the streets clean at a
moderate cost. 1t seems to be the
best idea yet suggested for that work
The present cost is probably more

that the present method it is inn
possible to keep the streets clean.

WHAT action are you in favor of
taking to get the new glass factory?
A COOP book makes very nice
Christmas gift. They have a great
many at Swisher's and they are very
cheap.
WE want another glass factory and
we don't care how big it is, we ought
to have it. The town can get it by
paying very small price comDaro1
with what it will bring nele.

JAMES n. DAVIS is building very
pretty little house adjoining his resi-
dence at the corner OF Main and
Wiley streets There will soon be
no vacant places in the town.
IT is beginning to be time TO name
the people who are to lead the ticket
this time in the municipal election.
1t is much better to name one ticket
which is agreed upon and elect every
man on it than to go into the thing
blindly.
A NICE decorated Lamp makes
beautiful Xmas present The Nov

beautiful line of Lamps in town.
TINS evening Miss Go-Won- Co Mo-
hawk will appear at the opera house
and delight the audience with her por-
trayal of wild western scenes. She is
remarkable woman in many ways
and it will repay one to see her.

year. We will remind them of you
every week day in the year and the

THE newspaper is your true and
steadfast friend dispite all abuse and
criticism. It helps to build up the
community in which you live, have
your being and enjoy your prosperity.
If the day should ever come to any
people, when the newspapers are dead
they will be left on the edge OF the
grave with nobody to write their obit-

VAN WICK COMING BACK.
Interesting Letter Received From the
Former City Attorney.

Howard Van Wyck, former City
Attorney, who has been in the South to
recuperate his health, will return to
Milwaukee about Oct. /. Yesterday
Tax Commissioner Brown received an
interesting letter from Mr.. Van Wyck.
The letter is dated at Atlanta, and
among other things calls attention to
the heavier taxation in the Georgia
metropolis as compared to Milwaukee.
Following is Mr.. Van Wyck's letter:
thought you might be interested in
knowing how they raise the wind, or
part of it, down here, and so enclose
copy of the Atlanta tax ordinance.
Almost every kind of business pays a
license here in addition to regular tax
on stock carried. 1t seems to work all
right and | hear no objections to the
principle or system.

back with you in few weeks. Ny
health seems to be entirely restored

many ways. and there is much that is
pleasant about the South, but the gen
eral current of thought is so different
from our standard that it is not at all
pleasant to one accustomed to looking
at things from the Northern point OF
view. The South suffers very seriously
from their being only one political
party. Thought is stifed; there is no
discussion, except from one side, of the
economic questions of the day. The
result is that ideas are very narrow
and this tendency extends into every
thing, even business. When return |

years ago purchased bottle of your

which induced her to sell it in her

WATERMELON FEAST.
St Matthews Choir Boys Are Given a
Surprise

Wednesday evening is the regular
choir practice for the boys of ST.
Matthews church. They sing for an
hour and then go home. Last evening,
however, the ladies of the parish had
prepared surprise for the boys. After
practice they were invited to the Guild
hall and on entering they cav water
melons galore. Some of the little
fellows had often said that it was i'm
possible to get enough watermelon, but
they changed their minds last night,
for they ate and ate and still the stock
of melons held out.
When everyone had eaten as much
as he could the ladies started the boys
at games, and the rest of the evening
was spent in amusement. The little
fellows at leaving expressed themselves
as delighted with the watermelon

Victor Moore Is Caught IN Elevator at Mat
tress Works and Has Both Feet Crushed.
What at first was thought to be a
very serious accident occurred at the
Northwestern Wire Mattress works
Wednesday afternoon. Victor Moore,
who has been working at the works
about three days, was using the ee
vator and by accident stepped just
beyond the edge of the platform while
ascending and as a result had both
feet badly crushed. He was taken at
once to Dr. Chever and the wounded
members we're examined and dressed
1t was thought at frat that the injury
was so serious that the feet would have
to be amutated but on closer eXamina-
ton it was found that go severe an
operation might be avoided with proper
care. Nevertheless it will be some
time before the young man will be able
to be at work again. Mr.. Moore is a
young unmarried man and we'll known
and liked by those with whom he
has labored even for SO short a time
He has many sympathisers in his mis-

That $4,000 mistake in the old city
treasureI's report seems to trouble the
School Board finance committee 10
making thtirreport to the Council by the
LIST of August, as required by law. 1t
seems hat the Council to correct the
mistake will have to allow the Board
the So, 300, but cannot do it until their
mex regular meeting, while the school
board is expected to hand in a report
to the council at the next meeting and
the report ought to include the $4,000,
but they don't like to report it as on
hand before the council turns it over to
them, so they are guessing how to fix
it up in time.
