He himself greatly deprecated enthusiasm"

but it evidently intense and was often
tremendously impressive. In regard to these

self-possessed that he often overestimated
restrained disposition. He measured these outward
expressions By the strength of the he knew

atefy, viewing Wesley first and foremost as the
man, rather than as the reformer. and consider
ing him in relation to his environment and his
times, we'll to the great religious move
ment of which he was the leader. The book is
brief. sane, and agreeably written. Yet the i'm
preston cannot be escaped that in cultivating
an attitude of sufficient aIoofness fairly to con-
slider the character of Wesley from all sides,
the author has somehow failed in conveying
the feeling of sympathy which he undoubtedly
brought to his task. That Professor Winchester
is himself in a manner conscious of this defect
appears to be indicated by the addition of a final
chapter in which he seeks to draw the reader
into closer relations with Wesley than he has
done throughout the main narrative. Even here
we are conscious of missing something. Perhaps
the thought can best be expressed by saying that
the author is accurate. analytical and entertain
ing rather than truly intimate. little more
enthusiasm might, at the expense of scru-
pulous accuracy of Judgment, have given us a
truer picture of the man.
On the other hand, 1t might be claimed that
just such a temperate, well considered life Of
Wesley is needed, by which to correct the more
partial portraits of him drawn by other biogra-
piers. From this point of view. what miss can
better be spared than what the author has so
eXcellently given US He is no less Illuminating
in tracing Wesley's own spiritual history than
in telling the story of his great work as a re-
former and in discussing his more purely human
traits. story told of his mother explains. by

After looking over the land yester-
day afternoon. the city council passed
resolutions accepting the plats of the
Beecher & Walsh and Bailey & Treich-
ler's Wallace Grove additions. upon
filing bonds in the sum of $500 and ST.
000, respectively, TO bring the streets
and alleys to grade. The bond OF
Bailey & Treichler was presented, and
the bond and plat accepted The Wal
lace Grove addition includes the land
between Twenty-fifth street and the
alley between Twenty-ninth and Thir-
tieth streets, and from Seventeenth to
Eighteenth avenues. The Beecher q
Walsh addition lies between Fifteenth
and Seventeenth avenues and between
Twenty-fifth and Twenty-siXth streets.
Besides reviewing the new additions,
the aldermen looked over the terri
tory in South Rock Island which is
seeking admission to the city.
Money Is Ready.
II. D. Blakemore was before the
council in regard to his bills for serv-
ices in connection with appeals of
court cases. He stated that for some
reason his check for a claim allowed
recently had been withheld, and that
unless ne was assured that the war
rant would be issued Immediately when
the council acts on the bill now before
the finance committee, he intended 10

he has prepared in the telephone ap-
peal He was assured informally that
the bills will be paid. and was inform
ed that all that was necessary for him
to do to get the check for the amount
already allowed was to ask for it at
the city clerks Office. The records
therefore will be filed. Only a few
days remain for the filing of these doc
uments by the city.

In response TO the questions of the
council as to why the assessment rolls
of districts No. and NO. have not
been confirmed. City Attorney Olson
stated that he had not seen anything
of the roll of district No. 4, and that
his reason for not confirming the roll
of district No was that the roll is
made under a special assessment,
rather than special taxation. He eX-
planned the difference, and in answer
to the urgent demands of the members
of the council, he said that he would
