STRICKER GETS TWO YEARS.
sentenced In the Municipal Court on a
Plea of Guilty.

The trial of VIM. Stricken who was ar
rested for breaking into the Hartzheim
saloon in this city few weeks since,
came up in the municipal court at
GAINESVILLE Wednesday.
When the case was called Ell. S. Sloan.
attorney for the defense, stated to the
court that Stricken wished to withdraw
his plea OF not guilty and enter plea of
guilty. District Attorney Jackson stat
ed to the court that before sentence
was passed he wished to state that
Stricken had twice before been in states
prison for the same cause as the one he
had now pleaded guilty to. That he did
not support his family and was a shift
less sort of a person. That he claimed
he was under the influence of liquor at
the time the act was committed and I'M
der the circumstances he would not ask
the court to give him the full limit for
crimes of this kind. FL. S. Sloan made a
short plea for the prisoner. He said the
man was addicted to drink and was not
responsible at all times for his actions
and asked the court to be as lenient as
possible with him.
DeIore passing sentence Judge Flheld
asked the prisoner if he had anything to
say why sentence should not be passed
upon him and gave the man some good
advice. He told him that on account of
his having already been in states prison
twice for the same offense he could SEN
tence him for term of twenty-five
years, but on the recommendation of the
district attorney he would give him the
same sentence he had last time. He will
go to Waupun for two years and three
months, the first day of each year to be
spent in solitary confinement.

News Of our valley seems to
increase as the years wear on.
The discovery of gold in and
around the Packs Hill settle
ment is causing a great deal of
excitement and anticipation.
The western fever is still
raging in this section. Several
of our boys are going during
this month. 1t is to be hoped
they will find money hanging
on trees and milk and horey
flowing in streams. But will
it be so? No; there is money
there, but, let me tell you some
thing, young man, when you
have secured your fortune |
assure you that you have
earned it by hard ticks. Money
never gets in a mans pocket
unless he earns it. So don't
feel discouraged when you find
things so much different from
what you anticipated, but go
with a resolute determination
to sink or swim, survive or
perish, live or die. Go in hopes,
return in wealth, and, above
all, be a man, don't be a thing.
Messrs. T. D. HALLIBURTON
and Todd Henderson left last
Monday night for the far west.
We extend to the two young
men our best wishes. May
they have a pleasant journey
and a safe arrival, and
above all, may prosperity and
happiness 60 with them and
the Spirit of God guide them
in this world. May the word
of God be a guide to their foot
steps and a lamp to their path
way, and may the richest
blessings of God be theirs.
We hate to see SO many Of our
good boys leave, but. however,
it may be for the best in the
long run. Go in peace. W.
remain your we'll wisher.

ALDERMEN MEET.

Board Talks of streets, Sewers and
Taxes-Roiis of Accounts.
The full board of aldermen was present
at the regular October meeting on Monday
evening, Mayor Greedy presiding. There
was much informal discussion OF city
affairs-streets, sidewalks, sewers and
taxes-but very little formal action was
taken on any Of these matters.
The need of a more solid floor for the
basement under the engine house was set
forth by Chief Engineer Brown. There is
no floor to the basement, and at most
seasons OF the year 1t is a mud hole.
There was talk of trying crushed rock on
1t. The matter was left to the committee
on DIRE department.
The dangerous condition OF the road at
Weaver's fiat, where deep bitches have
been built at either side for drainage, was
discussed. The advisability OF putting up
q railing was considered. The matter
went over to the next meeting.
Need OF ratings at the approaches to the
action was taken.
Leonard j. Maddocks was allowed "a
for sheep and lamb killed by dogs.
Delinquent taxes was the subject OF
much discussion and sore vexation OF
spirit. Every board has its struggle with
this question; the present board Is at it.
1t has taken a little more strenuous meas.
ures than most boards. AT Mondays
meeting it ordered the city treasurer to
pay within three weeks the temporary
loans made in antiei pat.on OF taxes. There
Is not enough money to pay these loans.
That means that the treasurer may have
to issue bis warrant Of distress. A war
rant Of distress means business.
The street commissioner was instructed
to notify the water company to put streets
