has brought with her Miss Nellie Ollie
who takes the place of trimmer in Mrs.
Follmann's millinery parlors. Mrs.

Chas. Stoll and son have at last put
into, operation what they have talked of
for some time and ale now located in the
basement OF the Rudolph building where
they have opened a plumbing establish
ment and are prepared to do all things
IN that line. Both of them are expert in
the business and capable of handling the
most intricate jobs. They have both
until recently been connected with the
city water works where their knowledge
in that line has been thoroughly tested
and never at fault. This makes two

Saturday night between and 10
o'clock the sky in the northern part of the
city WAS illuminated by the flames of a
burning house located on the outskirts
of the city belonging to Gottleib schrodt
and the fire whistle called out the fire.
men who raced over the mile or more of
muddy road to the scene of the fire to
IND that the house was empty, no one
having lived IN it for several months.
The property was in ruins before the
fremen got to it. A contract had been
made for the sale of the house to Rusch
q Besch to be used as slaughter house
but no papers had been made out and it
is thought that people in that neighbor-
hood were SO opposed to having a
slaughter house located there that some
one set the place on fire to prevent it.
It is only theory and comes from the
fact that house upoccupied would have
trouble in catching fire in any other way.
Hundreds of people viewed the burning
building from the vacant park property
on north German street, and tue firemen
had good practice run.
| There seems to be 8 better spirit pre-
vailing between the council and the
Commercial Union, that is IN every way
commendable. There is no reason why
the two bodies should not work to-
gether and that at all times their actions
be as harmonious as if they were part of
each other. The council is elected by
the people to further the best interests
of the city and the Union is combine
ton of the business men for the same
purpose. The objects of the two are
the same and the only difference is that
the council has the power to put into
operation the DEGREES that it makes and
the Union can only suggest and persuade
It stands to reason that small BODY Of
men is not in q position to determine
what is best with the assurance of a
larger body, and it Is gratifying to the
members of the Union that the council
has seen fit to listen to suggestions made
By it and to act on some Of the I'M
portant ones. It is the spirit Of progress
and when the people of any city learn
that By pulling together they can accom-
plish things that city IS in the way of
Improvement.
