 A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT-A
 matter Councilman Lauver of the fourth ward has been working on for
 several months was yesterday satis- factorily adjusted to all parties con- cerned and the much needed improve ment of the building of a cement walk from Jefferson street to the depots on Center will at an early date be begun. The walk will be laid on the west side of the street and the property owners
 will pay for the walk and the city for the crossings. In rainy weather many people just arriving in the city who had to walk from the depot up town in the
 mud formed wrong impression of the town on account of the impossible streets.
 A REQUEST FOR TROOPS-Gov- ernor Kibbey has requested General McCaskey, commanding the depart ment of the Colorado, to detail a troop

 a little outing for the soldiers. The governor said he had understood that such things are sometimes done where military post is not too remote from
 the exposition point, and there is said to he at Fort Huachuca just now a crack company, whose presence here
 would add interest to the tournament of the gaurdsmen and much pleasure for tha visitors to the fair.
