POVERTY AT ZION.
City of the Prophets Threatened with a
Shortage In the Food Supply.

Despite the efforts to make it APP
pear that all is well in Zion City, con
ditions are becoming alarming.
Following the closing of the furni-
ture store, the candy factory has shut
down, throwing many out of employ
ment. n
When the people we're ordered to
save food it was thought that the ac-
ton was to save them money. Upon
makingIapp1ication for potatoes and
meat Monday, however, it was found
that there was neither in the city.
Then many believed the Saving
scheme'5 had been suggested to pre-
vent a run on supplies.

other Council Business

The petitions asking for the paving
of Eagle and South Exchange streets
with macadam were acted upon favor
ably by the committee and the matter
is now in the hands of the assessment
committee. The work will be ar
ranged for early in the spring season
so that it may be completed during
the coming summer The city clerk
was authorized to renew all the poll
cies of insurance on city property
with the agents for companies now
carrying the city line.
Two bids were received for the en-
CINE house lot on Wisconsin street.
One of $50 from E. r. Head and one
for $3.50 from J.. "A. Ki11een. Neither
of the bids was accepted and the
matter was referred to a committee
TO investigate the title of the property.
1T is claimed that the city has lost
possession to part of this lot on ac-
count of the building of fence which
left twenty feet of the lot on the
north side of the fence. The Misses
Wescott the owners of the adjoining
property have,been in peaceahle pos
session of this twenty feet for more
than twenty years and it is possible
that they will set up claim to it. E
An appropriation of 5000 was made
for the municipal store and after the
allowance of the usual number pf
bills the session adjourned.

ing across Lake Baikal, eastern Siberia.
The correspondent adds that the tenn
porary railroad across the lake is not
completed, that large detachment of
troops was sent on tWenty-two-mile
march over the ice-covered lake, and
that it is presumed these troops lost
their way in a snow storm and per-
ished.
Another Mishap to the Bear.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 17.-The Rus
sian Second-class cruiser Royarin was

No Registration,

The council decided by unanimous
vote that there should be no registra
ton of voters for the coming spring
election and the list of voters made
for the state election two years ago
will serve for the city election. BY
this plan the council will be able to
save something like $500 for the city.
There will of necessity be a registra-
ton for the general election in the
fall and the city could not afford to
have two registrations in, a single.
year. There seems to be few places
in the Fifth Ward for the holding, of
caucuses and the aldermen Of the
ward were given power to either lease
a building or to have booth built for
the future use in the ward.

Council Orders City Officials to Notify
Street Railway Company to Re-
move Snow From Streets.
POLICE ARE KEPT VERY BUSY.
Quarterly Report OF Chief Of Department
shows Many Arrests are Made.
Other Council Business.

\ The city council met in regular ses-
sion at the city hall Monday night and
the meeting proved to be one of the
most undressing ever held by that
honorable body. All that saved the
meeting from going down in his
tory without one redeerning trait was
the fact that the aldermen decided to
take one more whack at the Kenosha
Street Railway company and make an
effort to force the managers of the
company to live up to their agreement
with the city. Since the last heavy
snow storm the streets of the city on
which the railway tracks are laid have
been in an almost impossible condi-
ton. The snow removed from the
tracks has been piled on either side
and it hasInow formed masses of ice
which makes any crossing Of the rail
way company dangerous none. The
matter was brought to the notice of
the council by John Danben who filed
claim against the city for the break
ing of a sleigh which was the result
Of an attempt to drive over one of the
crossings of the line. The bill had
been referred to the manager Of the
company and he had told Dauben to
refer it to the city. The council dis
,cussed the matter for some time and
as a result of the discussion the mayor
and the city attorney were ordered to
notify the company that the snow
must be so removed from the streets
as to leave them in a passable cohdi-
ton. It looks as if a fight was in
prospect and the mayor and city at
torney will have their hands full IN
enforcing the rule as laid down by the.
council.
The company has intimated that it
will not remove the snow from the
street and the city has announced
that if the snow is not hauled off the
street the street commissioners will
be ordered to get out the scraper and
scrape the snow back on the tracks
as fast as it is removed by the snow
pillow of the company.
Police Keep Eosy
That the police of the city have been
busy during the past three months
was shown by the quarterly report of
the chief of the department which was
sent to the council Monday evening.
In his report the chief showed that
during the three months "a arrests
had been made and of the number of
cases started by the police 40 had
paid fines, ! had been sent to the state
reformatory, sentence was suspended
on 4, one was bound over the circuit
court and the remainder were released.
The fees received during the quarter
amounted $50. 38. The record of crimes
showed that intoxication still heads
the list, total of 80 people having
been arrested on this charge, the next
most popular charge was keeping a
dog without a license. Officer Leik
led the patro1men in the matter of ar
rests made during the quarter he be-
ing credited with 10.
