The officials of the Rock Island road
also speak very kindly of Mr.. Weber's
work. Mr.. Weber had some grading
done on First street and on Second
street, which was of great assistance to
the railroad. He also had extra sewer
facilities provided in the rear of the de-
pot.
City Engineer James F. McCabe says:
THE Fourth ward should put Weber
back in the council, if they want their
interests well taken care of. The only
trouble ever found with Weber is that
he gets too many things for his ward.
He was active in getting the city park
filled up with dirt from Western avenue,
in getting the city park sewer, in hav-
ing extra electric lights placed in his
ward, and in having grading and other
extensive street improvements made.
Weber is also working to have the East
Sixth street pavement repaired"
While Mr.. Weber has been in the
council, he has had electric lights placed
at the following streets: Second and
Taylor, Fifth and Tyler, Second and
Fillmore, Sixth and Van Buren,, Eighth
and Topeka avenue, Second and Clay,
jackson and Crane, First and Tyler and
Fourth and Buchanan

FAVOR WEBER.
Prominent Citizens Say He
Should Be Reelected.

A strong fight is being made by the
friends of Councilman w. F. Weber for
his retention in the city council from
the Fourth ward. The fight is likely to
be a hot one, as it seems probable that
the Law and Order league will give its
Endorsement to w. B. kirkpatrick.
On the other hand, Mr.. Weber has
only served one term, and has made an
excellent record. He has won the sup
port of many Fourth ward people who
fought him in the primaries two years
ago. Among others who We're opposed
to Mr.. Weber two years ago, and who
are now in favor of him is Carl Lawson,
county jailer, and a favorite with the
Swedish population of the ward. Mr..
Lawson says:
Il think Weber has made a good
councilman, and I do not believe that
he will be beaten for a second term.
When man does as much for his ward
as Weber has done, he ought to be given
another term
Such men as Joab Mulvane, w. H.
Davis, S. Fl. Downs and others are not
slow to speak in favor of w. f. Weber'S
candidacy for councilman in the Fourth
ward.
Mr. Weber has done a great deal for
the city, SAYS Joab Mulvane, the own
er of the INN ense new Parkhurst-Davis
building in the Fourth ward. 4 I'M
derstand that there was considerable
opposition to the city park sewer, which
Mr.. Weber was instrumental in over
coming in the city council. The sewer
was good thing for the city. The
Commercial club can do little to help
the town if the city council does not
lend it's hearty support. The building
of the sewer by the city makes that
part of town available for wholesale
houses. Thus by preparing to take care
of increased business the city has made
an important step forward, and Mr..
Weber deserves great credit for what
he did IN the matter
Weber is the best councilman / ever
saw to go after things said w H.
Davis of the Parkhurst-Davis wholesale
house. THE people down here explained
what they wanted, and Mr.. Weber kept
after the council until he got what was
needed He has done a great deal for
his ward
S. H Downs, park commissioner, says:
Mr.. Weber has always been an en-
thusiastic advocate of parks, and has
been especially energetic in looking af-
ter the city park, which is in his ward.
He helped the park commissioners make
something out of the city park by hav-
ing the sewer put through the park.

Result of Rural eDliverv.

Dubuque. Ia, Feb. 24--The postoffice
at Campton, Delaware county, Iowa, is
to be discontinued. 1t has a unique
record. On September i, 1857, A. ".
Brown was appointed postmaster, and
has held the office ever since. His COM

was first located in 1857 He is believed
to be the oldest postn aster in Iowa.
Owing to rural mail delivery the Office

Stiles of Richmond Maj Stiles was
adjutant of the battalion of artillery
in which Lieut.. Falligant commanded
gun, and the letter bore especial
reference to the latter's gallantry at
the battle of Cold Harbor. Maj. Stiles
said that the gallantry and military
skill of the young officer, in holding
the shattered flank of Kershaw's
broken line, with a single gun, for
thirty hours, and against overwhelm-
ing odds, was such an achievement
as in the wars of the First Napoleon,
would have made him a full general
upon the field of battle.
Capt. Young made the concluding
remarks on the memorial resolutions,
among the most eloquent and schol-
arlv the occasion produced. The res
olutions were passed by a rising vote.
On the stage, during the reading of
the memorial resolutions and the de-
livery of the speeches that followed,
had been standing an easel, draped
with a Confederate battle flag. When
the resolutions were finally adopted the
flag was drawn aside and a handsome
portrait of Judge Falligant, beauti-
fully framed, was thus revealed
On behalf of the Daughters of the
Confederacy, Capt. David G.. Barrow
presented this portrait to the associa-
ton. Capt. Barrow said he knew the
portrait would recall Judge Falligant,
In one or another of the many situa-
tons of his life, to those whom he ad-
dressed: some would have him come
back to them as the jovial, light
hearted soldier boy, some as the gal
liant and capable officer, some as the
young practitioner of the law or the
judge on the bench. ITO all of u.s. -
said Capt. Barrow, "the picture will
bring him back as the brave, noble,
chivalric Southern gentleman"
The thanks of the association were
rendered to the Daughters for their
beautiful and gracious gift by Capt.
Young, in a speech that. did full honor
to the subject and occasion and gave
full credit to the fair donors for the
part they had played in the War Be-
tween the States and in the struggle
that has since been waged to secure
recognition of the truth and justice of
the principles for which the war was
fought.
The memorial resolutions adopted by
the association and the speeches made
in their favor will be published by the
association in pamphlet form.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS RACE.
Was Run Yesterday i'm Relays on
EstiII and Dale Avenues.

The third annual relay race of the
Savannah High School was run yes
terday afternoon on Dale and Estill
avenues, from a line drawn in front
of the Fair Grounds gate nearly to
Bull street.
Each class put out team of four
men, who ran a quarter mile apiece,
making a mile race. The race was won
by the Second Grade team, with the
First Grade B second.
The start was made at 4:30 O'Clock,
with contestant from each team. The
graduating class took a good lead and
maintained it to the last quarter, but
its last man broke and allowed two
of his opponents to pass him
The official time was kept for the
graduating class by Prof. I. S. Lucas,
for the Second Grade by Prof. M. M.
Parks, and for the first two grades by
their respective teachers, Profs. Wood
and Orr.
The mile was run by the Second
Grade in minutes and 30 seconds,
and five seconds later for each sue
ceeding team. The best individual rec
ord was made by Newman, captain of
the graduating class team, and Hart
ridge, captain of the Second Grade
team, second.
The ground was very nearly level
and the track was measured off a
good distance from Bull street in Or
der to cut off a heavy grade.
There was very little wind, and the
sun was hidden by a bank of clouds,
preventing his rays from falling on
the runners eyes, and it was just cold
enough to make the runners feel Grips
and energetic, thus making an ideal
day for a race.
A slip of stiff paper called message
was passed by the runners, so as to
show that relay did not leave his
line before his predecessor reached him.
The race has been looked forward to
with much interest by the members
of the school and their friends. There
was a large crowd of spectators at the
end of the track;and quite large num-
Der followed on bicycles and in other
vehicles. They were kept behind the
runners, so as not to get in the way
or hinder them. All the runners were
dressed in gymnastic suits and ran in
rubber shoes and made a fine appear
ance.
