COUNCIL MEETING.

A special meeting of the council was
called last night fol the purpose of TAX
ing some action in regard to the citys
assessors, there having arisen ques-
ton as to the legality of the assessment
being made. The three assessors now
serving were elected under the old spe-
cial chatter. Since that time the gen
era charter has been adopted and
which, as claimed by some, cuts off the
officials holding office at the time of its
adoption and providing for one or
more assessors, who shall be elected or
appointed by the council. At the meet
ing last night it was decided to be on
the safe side and so the assessors were
re-appointed. The assessors have made
each property holder visited up to date
swear to statements made in regard to
their property, and by the action of
last night, it is thought there will be no
question in the future as to there being
legal assessment.
Six more saloon licenses were
granted, making total of tifty-nine.
Also four druggists licenses.
Bids were opened for the sale of the
old buildings Cd the market square and
the property lately acquired by the city
at the corner of Second and Forest
streets. The buildings were sold to Al
bert Anthem, his bid of $500 being the
highest. Two houses and barn on the
market square and the old Holman
blacksmith shop on Second street are
the buildings involved in the deal and
the time limit set for their removal is

A committee appointed to ascertain
what the three lots belonging to the
Alexander Stewart Lumber company,
adjoining the market square, could be
bought for, reported that it had Sc
cured an option on the same for 81 500.

against Jaennis on the grounds of
malicious prosecution.
Mrs. Augusta Thurston, who has been
conspicuous in the different courts of
the city in times past, made another
appearance this morning This time it
was to enter a complaint against
neighbor family for throwing stones at
her daughter, and in telling her story,
language was used that would not look
well in print. The judge took the case
under advisement, and all parties to
the affair viii appear Thursday.
Mrs. Augusta Hensel, living in that
district known as Behind the Creek"

Fred, boy of nineteen. 1hrom does
not deny the charge, but states that the
boys father gave him orders to give
the boy beer whenever he asked fer it.
The trouble really appears to be that
the Hensel boy received whipping
Sunday last, from Throm's bartender
for Fostering and abusing an old man,
which fact raised the woman's ire. The
case will be further investigated before

Misses Lois Bessey, Mayme Lavigne,

girls in very realistic manner, and
Miss Nellie McHugh, as Teddy's mother
and sister Of Mrs. Lawton, arrived on
the scene and spoiled Teddy's good
time equally well.
An interesting feature of the program
were the baritone solos rendered by
Mr. Howard Wetly, of Stevens Point.
Everyone who possessed an understand
ing of good music could not fail to APP
preciate the clear and full tones of the
exceptionally well trained voice of the
singer. His numbers were well chosen
and heartily received by the musical
part of the audience.
When the curtain went up again the
entire class was on the stage. A parting
speech was given by Miss Louise Vein
kauf. She spoke Of the good work done
and the benefits received, and ex-
pressed the schools appreciation of the
conscientious and efficient work done
for them by Miss Bohrer and Mr.. Wells.
Mr. Wells then presented the diplomas
with a few earnest and appropriate
words to the effect that ''he hoped that
no ships would drift but that ali would
arrive safely in port"
The class gave their yell, and soon
the stage was crowed with friends who
pressed forward to tender hearty con-
gratulations.

The main features of the program
were two comedies of considerably diff
ferent character. The first one, "JOy

the Misses Christensen, Lambert and
Rouge't and Messrs. Peterson, Erdman
and Paff. Miss Christensen took the
part of Madam DIES Aubiers, French
lady of note whose son, Adrien, re-
ceived commission as young lieu
young friend of Adrien, was well sus-
tanned by Emil Erdman. Miss Lambert
played the part of Blanche des Aubiers,
and held the attention of her audience
throughout. Her manners were easy
and attractive and her voice clear and
distinct. The character of Matilda,
betrothed to Adrien, was sustained by
Martelle Rouge't, of Edgar. This part
was more solemn but Miss Rouge't
proved herself to be equal to the SOL
emnity of the occasion, and her climax
es were strong and thrilling. The part
of Adrien was taken by Alvin Peterson
and altho' he had many obstacles to
overcome in the use of his voice, he
succeeded we'll and was well received
and heartily by his audience. The
character of Noel, an old family SER
want, was taken by Edwin Paff Every
word was heard in every part of the
audience from beginning to end, and
the audience showed most hearty APP
probation of his rendition of the part

Cement on the Order of m
Asphalt Pavement.

Significantly just as George Ketch-
am brought his worlds champion
trotter Cresceus (2:o2A) back from
his Canadian trip and retired the
grand animal to the stud, came the
announcement from friends of
Thomas Lawson, the Boston copper
king and sportsman, that he would
soon spring a surprise on the har-
ness world by giving it the speediest
race course in the world.
"Will Mr.. Lawson, who built the
independence to race for the Amer
ica's cup trial events and broke her
up because he was not permitted to
enter the trials by the New York
Yacht club coterie, undertake to
make an ellipse of rubber $3.50 feet

Il NEBRASKA COW.
She Hns Helped Many Hitherto struE-
S Cling Farmers to Make Modest
Fortunes.

The Nebraska COW has joined the
winter wheat crop as a mortgage
litter.
According to the report of the
secretary of the State Dairymen's
association, just published, the pro-
duction of butter in Nebraska last
year was one-third greater than in
the previous year. Two things have
caused this great increase, the hand
separator and the culture of alfalfa.
Both of these are new in the west.
The hand separator is a mechani-
cal device that has permanently dis
placed the old and the new fashioned
churn alike and rendered butter
making a function purely of the
creamery, instead of the farmers
wife. 1t was introduced into Ne
braska two years ago, and has COM
pletely revolutionized the dairy in
dustry, not only doubling it in
volume, but increasing its money
making power.
Farmers no longer haul their milk
to the skimming stations of the big
creameries, but do the separating at
home and carry only the cream in
their cans. This leaves the skim to
be utilized at home. 1t is a poor
COW that doesn't pay in cream alone
each year for her original cost.
Modest fortunes are being made in
the older settled parts of the state
by the maintenance of large herds
of dairy cows, whose milk is sold at
the skimming stations. A herd of SC
COWS, with the natural increase in
calves and the sale of milk and
cream, makes it possible for a farmer
to obtain a yearly income from this
source alone as large as that OF
most country professional men.

Musfy Fodder Kills Calves.

A dispatch comes from Creston,
Ia, that Hazard Dunn, living a short
ways west of there, has recently lost
10 head of yearling calves from too
much feeding on dry and m1sty fod-
der. ALL the calves but one that were
taken sick died and reports come
from other parts Of that country
that there have been many more cat
tie dying there from the same
cause. The wet weather has been
such that much of the fodder this
season is unfit for feeding except in
small quantities, and then the closest
watch must be kept on the cattle
fed. It now appears that the enor.
nous loss of cattle reported from
the east end of that county some
weeks ago is attributed to this same
cause,

Of the ellipse. III
a. sort Of a bitlMninous cement will
be used for the top dressing SO that
the entire course will be like an
asphalted road. But to afford safety
to horse and driver and to minimize
the danger of spills at the turns, as
well as to preserve the speed ele-
ment, this track will differ from an
asphalted boulevard in the consis-
tency of the top dressing. While the
"going" may afford the foothold Of
macadam, it will be so smooth that
the friction of the rubber-tired
wheels will be less than on any other
surface that could be used for an
outdoor track. The PARTICLES of stone
entering into the composition of the
'bitalithic" surface are to be so
closely cemcnted together by the BIZ
luminous cement that the track will
necessarily be as speedy as the pro-
verbal billiard table course" .
