The question Of a city park is again
being agitated and the city council is
casting about for an available site that
can be bought at reasonable price.
Two sites are at present being consid-
ered-the vacant blocks just north of
the Milwaukee depot, and tract of
land lying between West Fourth street
and the river and to the west OF the
high school building. Each is good
site, but the News believes no definite
l,rice has been set on either.

Danbury.
Bert Chiffon, living nine miles north
OF Danbury, mourns the loss of his wife.
Mike O'Connell, bachelor neighbor,
having become enamored by her beauty,
hogan some time ago making advances
which apparently We're reciprocated
and as in such cases the climax was
soon reached, for on last Friday the
couple left for parts unknown. Mr.. and
Mrs. Chiffon were married little over
a year and seemingly We're happy to-
gether and 1t is unfortunate for all con-
cerned that anything of this nature
should have developed, for after the
sowing the reaping time must come.
Sioux City.
The county Jail was never more nearly
filled up with prisoners than 1T has beer
during the past few weeks. Almost
every cell and room is occupied, and the
wits of the jailer are fully exercised to
care for them all. During the hot
weather 1t has been serious task to
maintain cleanliness. The Jail is not
properly built for the care of large
number of prisoners. and matters Of
ventilation. sanitation and plumbing
have not been very deliberately cared
for. However, the jailer has managed
to keep up his rules for regular baths

Waterloo.
The large double house erected this
year by G. A. Smith at the corner of
West Seventh and Wellington streets
has been rented for the emergency hos
pital. The building is 80 by Sc and is
entirely new and equipped with all
modern conveniences. 1t is in quiet
residence street and yet is easily ac-
cessible. Arrangements will be made
for ten beds, which, it is believed, will
meet all present requirements in Wat
erloo. The facilities thus afforded will
be open to all reputable physicians of
any school. The institution will be
known as the Waterloo Emergency
Hospital and it is expected that 1t will
be in readiness to receive patients by
next Saturday.
Davenport.
Work on the library building is max
ing some progress, and will make bet
ter showing when the steel Orders and
cut stone get here. The foundation is
al in, and the interior brick walls are
up to the top of the first story. When
progress will be more in evidence. The
trustees are convinced that they have
got good work SO far. The brick from
the LeClaire factory is of a special
quality insisted upon by Architect Kies-
sling and harder and better than have
gone into most buildings here. The Ii
brary building will be fine one when
1T is finished. and it is still hoped to
have 1t under roof before the snow cuts
any figure with outside work.
