President Roosevelt to-day reap
pointed Elizabeth L. Bampfield post
mistress at Beaufort. There has been

collector of the port of Beaufort Some
of the Republican politicians of Beau
| fort protest against the Smalls family
| holding the best two federal offices in
| that part of the state. The opposition,
| however, is not believed to be suffi-
GENTLY strong to prevent the womans

A tale is told of family consist

belligerent wife, woman whose
temper was worse than uncertain.
One evening just at dusk the
neighbors were startled by hearing
shrieks, thumps and other unaccus-
toned noises issuing from the house,
and, supposing that the place had
been entered by burglars, several
persons went in at the open door
and proceeded to investigate.
The sounds came from an upper
room. Rushing upstairs, the in
truders flung open door, to discov-
er the stalwart lady of the house
brandishing rolling pin, while her
unfortunate other half, huddled
against the wall under the bed, was

work on Tuesday, and left on the eve.
ming train for Minneapolis, where he
will work out the plans and specifca-
tions, which he expects to have ready
in about three weeks. In addition to
plans and levels for the sewer system,
he will also recommend levels for all
the streets and sidewalks in the CITY,
which will ensure good drainage. At a
special meeting of the council on
Tuesday, Mr. Sublette recommended
very strongly that the width of the
roadway on residence streets be mar
rowed to thirty feet, and the boule-
Yards on each side of the street be
correspondingly widened. This would
not only give much more beautiful
street, but would also give roadway
which could much more cheaply be
kept in repair.
