About the Streets,

The city administration deserves
commentator for efforts to clean the
| streets and TO keep them clean. Al
citizens should cultivate habit of
neatness and cleanliness in regard to
the streets. The throwing of scraps
OF paper and other rubbish in the
street is an abomination which ought
not to be tolerated.
The mayor and aldermen have
taken hold of the cement sidewalk
matter and there will doubtless be a
good deal of cement walk laid before
frost sets in next fall. 1t is to be
hoped that all work done in this line
will be of the same good character as
that along the front of the city hall
square. If it can be made better, all
right: but nothing inferior should be
accepted The best is not to good
for Mineral Point
Mineral Point is to have cement
sidewalks and should also have we'll
graded, smooth streets. It would be
better to undertake extensive improve
ments OF modern and durable charac"
ter better because it would be the
cheaper In the long run, and because
only in this way can be secured the
convenience OF good streets for
present and future use. To make
temporary and unsubstantial street
improvements is very wasteful in
deed: because the floods wash them
rapidly away To make good streets
it is necessary to add a good steam
roller to the road making machinery
now owned by the city. A steam
roller Of good make would also fur.
uish power for properly mixing the
concrete tor the sidewalks.
Ernest Wieses, a. street commits
sioner, is doing good work and Civ

ACCEPTS AGREEMENT
NORWEGIAN STORTHlNG RAFT.
FlEs DISSOLUTION OF THE
UNION WITH SWEDEN.

Christiania, Norway, Oct. 10.-After
two days spent in excited discussion
the storthing at 1880 o'clock Tuesday
morning proceeded to q division ON
the proposition of the minority to sub
NIT the Karlstad agreement concern
Ing the dissolution Of the union be-
tween Norway and Sweden to 4 refer
sndum. The proposal was rejected by
q vote Of 100 to s. The agreement was
then accepted by . vote OF 101 to 16.
This is a signal victory for the gov
eminent.
In the course Of the debate Premier
Nicholson made an interesting speech
on the question of the selection Of a
king. He said that the offer Of the
throne to a member of the house of
Bernadotte was made as an expression
of good will. 1t had apparently, how
ever, been otherwise interpreted In
Sweden, as, according to King Oscars
observations to foreign Newspaper
men, his majesty would regard his
approval of such selection as a per-
sonal sacrifice. In conclusion the
premier said that the question now ap-
peared to be outside actual politics.

New York, Oct. 10-Charles E.

surance investigating committee, has
declined the Republican nomination
for mayor of New York city. In stat
ing his grounds for refusing the NOM

the insurance investigation. This is
undisputed. 1t is dealing with ques-

of our fellow citizens throughout the
land. 1t presents an opportunity for
