CLASH OVER PAVING
Fifteenth Street Property Owners
at Odds as to the Improve
ment Question.
TWO PETITIONS BEFORE COUNCIL
One Asking That the Work Be
Done and the Other Protest
ing Against 1t.

Property holders on Fifteenth street
between Third and Twelfth avenues
have locked horns over proposition
to pave that thoroughfare. Those in
favor of the paving declare they rep,
resent a majority of the frontage and
those opposed are just as emphatic in
their claims.
Early in the spring the council re-
ferred to the board of local improve
ments petition asking for the i'm
provement of the street between the
Intersections indicated. it was rep
resented that the signatures repre-
senting the necessary majority of
frontage were attached. but upon an
investigation by the board the petit
ton was found to be shert and it was
returned to the council with the rec
ommendation that it be rejected.
This was the last heard of the mat
ter until the semi-monthly meeting of
the council last night, when there
were read by the clerk two petitions
from Fifteenth street property own
ers. one. asking for paving from Third
to Twelfth, aud the other protesting
against it, and both claiming to vo ce
the sentiment of the ma jority of prop
erty holders on the street. The petition
in favor of the improvement is headed
by Peter Siemon and the other by
George Perry. Both petitions were
referred to the board of local improve
ments.

SIXTH DISTRICT NOTES.

S. H. Dodge, editor of the Beloit Ga
zette. got caught in Topeka during the
cold snap Saturday last. He was re-
turning from Emporia, where he had
been attending a meeting of the State
Normal regents, of which he is MEM
ber It was too cold to talk politics.
Peter Pyle, of Kensington. who i'm
AGNES he sees Republican political
lightning striking all around him, has
hopes that his party will push him for
ward for the legislature from Smith
county.
Speaking about state printer to con e,
there are hundreds of Republicans in
the Sixth district who will jump into
the band wagon and work with energy
to pull George w. Crane through. He
is the man who has done more for the
party and received less compensation,
they say, than the hungry horde of
officeseekers who are now coming to the
front.
John s. Parks, former Populist state
printer owns 5000 acres of land in
Mitchell county, and thinks this ought
to enitle him to membership in all
first class farmer organizations.
Some of the state papers claim that
A. T. Rodgers, of Mitchell county,
whose name has been so prominently
mentioned as the fusion nominee for
congress in the Sixth district, was a
former member of the legislature from
his county. This is a mistake. 1t was
his cousin, Tom Rodgers, who served in
the legislature from Mitchell county
A T. Rodgers is at the head of the Be

lott light and waterworks plants. He
is a member of the Democratic state
committee, and beyond serving on the
Beloit school board has never held an
office. He came to Beloit in 1873, ana
has always been one of her most enter
prising citizens and business men,
It has been said that DR.. J. w. Dykes,
of Smith county, will run again for
congress in 1902, in the Sixth district,
on the Populist ticket DR.. Dykes de-
MES this, and refuses to run for the rea-
son that the political conditions in the
district are in such shape as to
discourage him from making the race

Lebanon journal, a Populist organ, re-
fuses to be swallowed up, he says, by a
side show to the Republican party in

cratic party. He says if he has to come
to a political show down his choice Will
be to get under the main tent.
Hays White claims Mitchell county for
congress; the friends of Reeder claim
it for him. Wellington stopped off at
Beloit over night to catch an early
morning train for his home in Ellis
worth. and now the county is for Well
ington. Judge Ellis home is in Mitchell
county, and he is candidate for re-
nomination. It is scarcely necessary to
say more.
There is a 1ull in the Sixth district

a full grown regiment of them is ex
pected. Some of them will want to get

Chan. Perdue has added another clerk
in the Beloit postoffice to help facilitate
business during the holiday rush Mrs.
Perdue is an expert in the work, ana
every mail brings in and takes away
several extra sacks full of holiday gifts
Chan. also gets rest from talking pol
itics, and to everyone who gets into the
office to inquire about political matters,
he pleasantly answers them that ne
can't give the n after serious thought
on account of the rush of business the
Beloit office is doing.
1t is said that c. B. Daughters, of
Lincoln county, has bought real estate
in Manhattan and now many of the
Sixth district politicians are wondering
whether he is after an office in the
Fifth district.
No aspirant for congress in the Sixth
district has yet claimed Rocks county
All the candidates have made friendly
visits there, which leads some of the
fellows to remark that Rocks county
will be friendly to home man, either
Ham or Hawkes. Smith could get 1t
easily if he wasn't on the bench.
A Sixth district politician says the
name of the man who will succeed
Reeder for congress hasn't yet been
mentioned. And this same politician
knows all about it in his own mind, for
he has aspired for offices without num-
Der, and been beaten every time.

YALE COACHES NOT NAMED.
Captains Leave For Home Without
Making Selections,

New Haven. Conn. Dec. 16.-Although
the Christmas recess began for most
head coach for two of the athletic teams
for the coming season is not yet set
tied. Captain Guernsey of the baseball
nine and CAPTAIN Kunzig of the crew
said on leaving here that they have
not yet decided to whom charge will be
given.
Both the captains stated that they
would announce their choices of head
coaches upon the beginning of the win
ter term. Captain Kunzig has given no
intimation of the man he will make
head coach of the crew.
1t is generally believed that Captain
Guernsey of the varsity baseball nine
will appoint as his head coach Leslie NJ.

last year. Johnson is a member of the
class of 1902 and has played on the
Springfield nine of the eastern league

The christmas cards. which are sent

them is SO striking that it cannot help

who receive them, and they will doubt
