the child was tracked through a corn
field and along the road for some dis
lance, but when he finally left the road
and started up the creek his foot prints
could be followed no further. 1t be-

The pasture into which the child
strayed is a wild and rugged section.

have suffered greatly, and it is prob

The Springfield Republican IS not
nearly so much disappointed at the
collapse of the Filipino war as might
have been expected. This is not so
bad: ''The daily surrenders OF men and
arms reported from the islands under
stress of the hard blows struck by the
conoueror enforce the conclusion that
outward resistance is nearing an end,
and So far as this address has any in
fiuence at all, it will tend to hasten the
end. 1t is better so. The question
from the beginning has been one for
the American people themselves to de-
eide in accordance with their sense OF
Justice and on appeal to the traditions
and principles protested through all
our history and reaffirmed on going
into the war which has thus been con-
verified into war of conquest. That
the final outcome will be for the tri
umph of Justice and liberty as against
criminal aggression we have no doubt
whatever"

valuable machinery to it's extensive
plant. There are three machines pur-
chased in Syracuse, N. yam auto
matte tire setter, which will instantly
set the heaviest tire without heat, an
automatic hub setter, and hydraulic
oil pump. The company is now fully
equipped for making wagons on an
extensive scale, and is putting large
amount of capital into this branch of
its business. Twelve carloads of iron
were received on Wednesday; and
shipped a carload of extra strong wa
CONS to Marquette, Mich, for heavy
hauling. So speedily has the Keller
wagon found favor for heavy work,
that enquiries are being received from
all localities where specially heavy
loads are to be moved.

city Council,


The CITY council met in special SEES
sion last evening with all the members
present.
The health officer and the city at
torney were empowered to enforce the
ordinance against vaults and cess
pools. ~
A concrete walk six feet wide was
ordered on the north side OF Third-st
from St. Paul's church corner to the
West lot corner; eight feet wide from
the Minnette corner to the Keller cor
ner; eight feet wide from the Simonton
corner to the Parcher corner, and six
feet wide across the next two blocks
westward-to the Blake corner. On
the south side of Third, between Main
and Oak -sts., a similar walk eight feet
wide in from the curb stone was Or
dered. This leaves gap six feet wide
between the inside of the walk and the
buildings.
On Main-st., from Fifth-st. south the
curb line was established sixteen feet
from the front line OF the lots, trees to
be planted four feet inside the curb
On all 6-foot streets the curb line was
established fourteen feet from the IL,
lines.
This is a grave mistake, and one
which will be painfully apparent when
too late. 1t should not have been less
than sixteen feet, and eighteen would
have been better yet.
