rhorne, Ernst, Law and Hhrt. The
mayor presided.
nhe minutes Of the previous meeting
were read by City Clerk Cole and ap.
proved by the council.
Chairman Moore, OF the street com.
mittee, reported That curbing was on the
ground for all street work and that all
the brick ordered Ind been received. He
read letter from the Hammond Brick
company, stating that the company lad
100000 brick now burning and advising
thc council to place an order for next
year early. Mr.. Moore suggested that
the question be taken up and finally rec
commended bllat an order be placed for
100000 at once,
Councilman Kelley suggested that
elarksburg had a manufacture OF brick
which can be purchased for 50 or So less
a thousand He advised that The coun.
ell investigate the matter.
Mr.. Moore differed from Mr.. Kelley
rs to the character Of the home maau.
facture He thought just as good brick
could be made here but it is not done
and the manufacturers viii not do it, as
they are not fixed for it,
Councilman Law thought il would be
good idea to wait a while on the ques
lion Of buying brick, in order to see II
they cannot be purchased cheaper, and
obtain information as to the finances
next year. and as another reason for
deferiug the matter as it might be pos
sible no paving would be done.
Councilman Hart thought it would be
wen TO defer the matter, on account OF
the fact that The Thornton Brick com.
pany at Thornton would be in operation
soon, and that would give advantage Of
competition, it being the intention OF the
company to manufacture a fine grade Of
paving brick. He stated that this com.
pany was composed Of Clarksburg and
Gmfton people.

Hon. M. E. Rudolph.

Last Friday, John U. Schelling re-
ceived a telegram from Canton, S. d.,
announcing the death of Hon. Martin
L. Rudolph. The funeral services were
held Sunday at the family residence.
The deceased was born in Chicago,
ILL.,, on Sept. 3, 1853, but was resident
of this city from his early boyhood un.
til after he attained his majority He
acquired liberal education, was a
graduate of the Iowa State Agricultural
College and of the law department of
the State University of Iowa.
In 1881 he located at Canton, and en-
gagged in the practice of the law In
which he was eminently successful.
Last fall he was elected to represent
his district in the Senate of South OAK
ots, and In that connection the Sioux
Valley News of date January 8, eaid:
Senator Rudolph is comparatively
young man but he has served the coun-
ty in an official capacity before and
gave abundant evidence of his desire
Il
and ability to serve them well. 1t is
new service and great hopes are enter
tanned; for, because of his we'll known
ability as lawyer, his constituents
have right to expect good record
and if his health does not fail, he will
not disappoint his constituents. We
are sorry to say however that, owing to
a protracted illness he was unable tt
start for Pierre, last Friday, as he hac
intended, but went last Monday, anc
then too soon, his friends fear, but hi
anxiety to be present at the opening O.
the session was SO great that he deter
mined to 60" The fears of his friend
proved to be we'll founded, for in a few
days after his arrival at Pierre he suf
fered relapse which resulted in hi
demise as above stated
He is survived by two brothers ant
two sisters: Otto Rudolph and Mrs
Jennie Clifford of Canton, Arthur Ru-
dolph of Washington, ID. g. and Mrs.
