Special Pieces of Fir eworks.

Pyrotechnist PaA has arranged a
number of special and attractive fire
works features especially for the
pleasure of the ladies and little folks,
which will be shown during the en-
gagement of the big Rome spectacle
in this city. Every performance of
this splendid exhibition will reveal
new beauties, and especially in the
fireworks program will these changes
be most noticeable. The aquatic fire
works will be of unusual beauty and
interest here. because of their rarity,
nothing in that particular line of
pyrotechnics ever having been eNhi-
bited in this city. The engagement
opens next Monday night and closes
the following Friday night
Although the fireworks alone pos
Sess the strongest of fascination for
the young ones, many special comic
fireworks devices have been arranged
for their benefit. The pretty Golden
Ballet" the flower girls. the music,
the daring feats of the acrobats. the
pastimes of the boys of Ancient
Rome, the beautiful scenic city itself,
as well as the impressive and instruc-
tive historical lessons the huge spec
tacle so wildly presents. all combine
to make the attraction one of
special delight for the little people,
as well as the big folks.

The principal of these dances is
known as "Nero's Golden Ballet" and
is a part of the ceremonies in con

Another pretty dance is the Graeco-

young Romans. The coStuming of
these dances. as indeed the entire cos

General Miles as a Candidate

Concerning the candidacy of Geuer-
al Miles, who has been placed in nUmi-
nation for the presidency by the
Springfield, Massachusetts,, RepuAli-
can, and whose nomination has been
seconded by some Of the democratic
papers Of the west, the Chicago Inter
Ocean of August 22nd, makes the fol,
lowing editorial observations:
General Miles is popular as a sol
dier in the west, but he is also very
unpopular. He cannot escape the rec.
ord made in the last four years by
pointing to his record in the civil wal
and the wars against the indians.
"Thc west is in accord with the
! Philippine policy OF Mckinley and
Roosevelt; Miles antagonized it. The
west stood by our army in the Philip
pines; Miles slandered it. The west
has brigades and divisions of old sol
diers in civil life, but they are more
in sympathy with the soldiers Mile:
criticised and antagonized than witt
Miles himself. Miles had a quarre
with the administration, but on every
issue raised the people were agains
him.
General Miles has been codilcd b,
the democrats, but lie has no strength
as a candidate with the followers o
either Bryan or Cleveland. He ha
been favoritc with the MasSachus
etts anti-imperialists, but they coult
not muster a thousand voters for him
He would be good compromise can
didate to secure the mugwump vote
but that vote is not strong enough T.
cut any figure in the campaign o
1904"

Proceedings of Town Board.

At regular meeting of the board OF
town trustees held in the clerks Office
last Friday night considerable busi.
ness was transacted. The purchase OF
six lots in Block No. 81, L. T. first ad.
/ dition. was concluded, and the town
attorney was instructed to proceed in
whatever manner deemed necessary
for the purchase OF the balance of the
block. As soon as the other lots are
purchased, ground will be broken,
trees planted and the entire block
turned into public park.
The marshal was instructed by the
board to proceed at once, hire teams
and begin grading Front and Second
streets. Front street will be graded
from Cedar street east to the corpora
tion limits; Second street will be grad
ed west from Pine street to the cor
poration limits.
In the matter OF purchasing the
right OF way for streets, the purchase
of a right Of way from the roundhousc
south to the river was made from L.
J. Hall. This matter has been hang
ing fire for more than year, and was
finally concluded by the board paying
Mr.. Hall 5000 for the right of way.
Negotiations for right of way for
the extension Of Second street through
the land Of Mrs. j. b. Martin, Vet
Schultz and John Holmes had been in
progress for some time, but no agree
mcnt satisfactory to all parties could
be reached. The owners Of the land
held out for for S25 90 per acre for the
land used, and as there had been I,
public street, or road, through the
land for about seventeen years, long
before the land became the property
of the present owners, the members of
the board would not agree to pay the
price asked. The attorney WAS con-
sequently ordered to proceed to secure
title to right Of way by condemn1-
ti0n.
The attorney was also instructed to
secure right of way across the rail-
road company's right Of way on Cedar
street, it appearing that such right of
way had never been secured.
Other business transacted by the
board was the passage of the regular
salary and few other bills.
