SALARY OF POLICE.
Acted Upon by the Judiciary
Committee.
A Recommendation Made that PATROL
men receive 500 a month and
the chief SIS.

The Judiciary committee of the
charter commission held a meeting
last evening and took up the police de-
partment and decided to recommend
some important if not radical changes
to the full commission next Monday
night.
1t was decided to leave the number
of policemen the same as it is now,
the chief and six patrolmen. No mem
Der will be assigned for night work,
but this will be left to the discretion
of the chief, who can alternate the
men as at present if he desires. 1t was
also decided to incorporate provision
allowing the council on the recon-
mendation of the mayor to increase the
number of patrolmen to not to exceed
eight. The present provision allow
ing the mayor to appoint special
policemen in cases of emergency was
allowed to remain.
The matter of the salaries was then
taken up and it was decided to in
crease the salary of the chief from $50
to SO a month and the salary of the
patrolmen from $40 to $50 a month.
To offset this, it was decided to
prohibit the police officers from serv-
ing civil papers, and to require that
all fees accruing from the service of
criminal processes be turned into the
city treasury instead of divided among
the officers as at present. 1t is the
opinion of the members of the COM
mittee that these fees will nearly or
quite offset the increase in salaries,
so that the city will not be out any
thing. They argue that $50 month
is not too much for good men. Police
officers have to be on duty seven days
in the week and work harder on holi
days than on other days, and they say
that So day is not too much. At
the same time there will be no incen-
tive to arrest men for the purpose only
of obtaining the fees which accom-
pany arrests.
The committee will hold another
meeting tonight.

AGED LADY DIES.
Mrs. Edward Lewis is Carried Off Sud-
denly by Heart Trouble.

Mrs Edward Lewis died suddenly
this morning at the home OF her
daughter, Mrs. Tryphena J. Hughes,
427 Pleasant street, of heart trouble.
She had not been we'll for some time
and had been failing for week past.
Yesterday, however, she was feeling
better than usual and was about the
house. At five O'Clock this morning
she was taken seriously ill and at
twenty minutes before seven O'Clock
she passed away.
Mrs. Lewis was born in Wales and
was eighty-fve years of age. The
greater part o her life was passed at
Ixonia, Wis, where her husband died
some years ago leaving her in easy
circumstances. She resided with
Mrs. Hughes more or less of the time
during the past few years. Two sons
and two daughters survive her, Edward
Lewis, of Ixonia, Richard Lewis of Far
go, n. D., Mrs. Pugh of Ixonia, and Mrs.
Hughes of this city. W. P. Lewis,
superintendent of the poor farm. is a
nephew of the deceased. She also
leaves brother, Rev. Thos. R. Jones
of Aberdeen, S. D., and sister.
Mrs. Lewis was member of the
WEIGH G.. NJ. church and during her
younger days was active in church
work Several churches have bene-
fitted from her liberality. She was
loved by those who knew her best and
her many virtues won her the respect
of all. She was kindly friend, a
good neighbor, an indulgent parent,
and rounded out an Industrious life
with amplitude of years. Her sudden
taking off will be grieved by all who
knew her.
The funeral services will be held
from the house at two O'Clock tomor-
row afternoon, and the remains will
be shipped to Ixonia on the a :45 p. m.
train over the Chicago & Northwestern
road, there to be inferred beside those
of her late husband.

Appleton, Wis-At o'clock last
night Mayor Hammel received a mes
sage from the authorities in Milwau-
kee saying that DR.. M. J. Rodemund,
the alleged anti-contagion fanatic,
had been captured in that city and de-
tanned in quarantine by orders of the
Wisconsin state board of health.
Dr. Rodermund left Chicago yester-
day morning and proceeded to Mil
waukee, where he has a brother re-
siding. He was recognized immedi-
ately by the officers and arrested.
1t is supposed that DR.. Rodermund
was on his way to Appleton, as it has
been stated on good authority that it
was his intention to get back into
his own home before the quarantine
was raised
Much citation last night was the re-
suit of DR.. Rodermund's apprehension
by local police officers, although it is
believed that aside from holding him
in quarantine no action can be taken
against him.
The matter will now be taken up,
it is thought, and decided n the civil
courts.

OUT OF DEBT.
The Welsh c. M. Church Burns Up Its
Note.

There was an interesting ceremony
at the Welsch G. M. church last eve
ming. The note representing the bal
ance due on the mortgage, having been
paid, was burned in the presence of
the congregation. 1t was for $500
and SIS interest, and the church debt
is now wiped out. The mortgage will
be. preserved in the archives of the
church. 1t and the note were signed
by Frederick Roberts, David J. Jones
and Peter Lloyd, and of these only
Mr.. Lloyd is living. Mr.. Lloyd and
Thos Hughes burned the note while
the others looked on, and there was a
sigh of relief as the last end of the
paper curled up and was reduced to
smoke and ashes.
The meeting was presided over by
David E. Evans (pant), and the pro-
gram included speaking by number
of the members of the church and
some music. An oyster supper was
served free and the joy over the free
ing of the church from debt was tenn
pered only by the fact that the attend
ance was sadly reduced by illness,
great many of the congregation
suffering from the grip and other all
ments. Even the pastor, Rev. VIM.
E. Evans, was unable to be present
owing to an attack of the grip and a
slight touch of plurisy.
The mortgage as originally given
was for 81, 500, and was dated Oct.
list, 1896. The church has done we'll
to pay it off so soon, and is to be con-
graduated on being out of debt.

A BENEFICIAL ORGANIZATION.

The ladies organization of the
Athletic club held further meeting
after their practice Tuesday evening
and elected Miss Lucy Schildknecht as
secretary. A committee of three was
appointed to submit set of rules and
regulations. Four new applications
were presented. This organization
should prove one of the best in this
city, for not alone is physical culture
one of the principal features, but the
social side is not forgotten. Club
swinging and fencing are the princi-
pal exercises adopted, but other ex-
ercises, such as marching and ring ex-
ercises, are also practiced. The club
is under the instructions of G. Ger
stenhauer and most general interest
is shown on the part of the members.
Leo. S. Lamm will attend to all of
his fathers business during the latter s
absence. ---
