Street was referred to committee. On
recommendation of the Street Commit
tee it was decided to allow Mike Koyoa-
XII $40 on his contract for street improve
ment. The Poor Committee requested
a special meeting next Tuesday to
consider a plan for the better regu-
lation of the city's poor system.
City Attorney Schmitz then presented
a request from the trustees of the Insane
Asylum that something be done by the
Council to restrain saloon keepers or
others from giving or selling liquor to
inmates of the Asylum. Mr.. Schmtz
said that the officials of the Asylum had
been having great deal of trouble late
ly from the fact that few inmates,
who were allowed to 60 about town,
would get drunk Mr. Schmitz said
that it was against the law to sell liquor
to an insane person, but remarked that
if the Council could find some better
way of dealing with the matter than
by going to court it would be well to do
so. The board directed Chief Pierce to
instruct saloon keepers regarding the
subject.
The first annual report of Fire Chief
Kratz was then presented and placed on
file without being read. 1t was also re-
ferred to the Fire Committee for APPROX
al
Alderman Stolze requested permission

ty- second Street, between Clark Street
and Western Ave. on Clark, between
Twenty first and Twenty-second Streets;

After short recess the aldermen
took up the discussion of the Fond du
Lac ordinance and also the proposed Or
dinance allowing the Manitowoc and
Northern Traction Company to change
its tracks around the G. Il N. w. Il. h.
depot. This latter ordinance was refer
red to committee.
On suggestion by Mr.. Lorenzen aspe-
cial meeting of the Third Ward Commit
tee was arranged for last evening.
A bill of $50 for typewriting copies of
the proposed Fond du Lac ordinance
was presented 1t was suggested that
the Interurban road should pay the bill
and it was finally referred to the road.
Attorney McMullen of the Interurban
was present at the meeting and entered
into the discussion on the amendments
to the ordinance. The council then ad-
iourned.

DODGE GOES AGAINST GOVERNOR
Ashland Is Undecided, But a Tie So Far

From present Indications it would
appear as if Judge Emil Baensch of
this city stood pretty good chance of
getting the nomination of the Republican
party for governor of the State. From
the counties which have held caucuses
so far he has received t95 delegates to
La Follette's 100 and Cooks 35 Ash
land ~ yet is n tie with conflicting
opinions rs to which way the county
committee will decide. Eau Caire is
also tie. Dane went solid for La
Toilette but Dodge about which per
haps the tiercest fight ragged went solid
for Baensch, Altogether, however, only
twenty one counties have been heard
from. Tomorrow Grant and Oconto
with % and II delegates respectively
will hold caucuses while Polk with II
will hold hers Saturday. Milwaukee
with delegation Of 14G will hold
caucuses on the Goth, Brown with 10 on
the 25th, Sheboygan with n on the 10th
If May and Calumet with ; on the 5th
of May. 1t is significant that SO far
La Toilette has made absolutely no
gains over his record of two years ago
in the campaign against Whitehead.

THE PETROLEUM MARKET.

The cut IN crude petroleum prices which was
announced on Friday was received with anything
but pleasure by the operating interests in the oil
fields The new prices OF crude follows:
Pennsylvania 81 90 reduction OF cents: North
Lima and South Lima and Indiana 81 and 80 cents
respectively. reduction Of cents; South Neodesha
and Bartlesville. IS cents. a reduction OF cents
and North Neodesha and Kansas oil. IS cents and
A. cents respectively. cut OF cents. This makes
a reduction in FIVE days of cents barrel In the
Pennsylvania oil and 10 cents in the Kansas prod
uct and brings prices down to about the lowest
point touched last year. II is feared that this
reduction will have the effect OF checking operations
throughout the lower Southwest and also In Ohio

prices have gone so far. 1t is hoped that the limit
has been reached and that a rebound may follow
