BOARD OF REVENUE APPROPRI-
 ATES A2,OOO.

 Fa Reflected.

The sum of 5000 was appropriated by the Board ol Revenue yesterday morning for building an extension to
 Fielder street, through Cloyerdale to
 the Carter Hill Road. This work is to
 be done at the earliest possible date, and is to be carried out inder the supervision of the county engineer. In the motion appropriating this sum was contained a provision that the protectors of the road. should pro- penses of construction.
 A communication from Mayor w. M. Teague. requesting that the Board bear sewer on the extension of Decatur
 street, starting at the corner of South street and extending down to Gennetta ditch was tabled after considerable dis or's request it was given out as the opinion of the Board that that body
 has during tho last few years borne
 sufficient expense in that department
 of work directly benefiting the city.
 The regular meeting of the. Board was called at Il o'clock, with all mem bers present, and the matter of the
 Fielder street extension was the first to be taken up. After considerable dis cussion, motion was put before the Board by w. D. Brown, making the appropriation for the construction of the extension, and this motion passed. It was afterward that the letter from Mayor Teague was read to inc Board.
 we have done more than we have
 been called upon to do in the past in work of this kind" said one member of the Board. There is no occasion | for us acting on this matter until we see what the sewer Is going to mean, and until something further mas been done about It."
 On motion, therefore, the request, while not denied, was laid on the ta- ble indefinitely.
 Among the other business transacted | by the Board, Engineer J. T. Bullen was instructed to examine the bridge at Three Mile Branch on the Mount Meigs Roads and to have railings placed on the embankment at that | point, where necessary for the safety | of passersby.
 Another motion. which was passed, was one empowering the engineer to
 make a contract with the Conecuh Lumber Company for term not to exceed six months to furnish the county with such lumber as may be needed in and near the city for county purposes.
 A bill presented by H. H. Barnes for pipe used by the Capitol Heights Inn provement Company, was approved Routine business occupied the remain | der of the morning session. The disbursements for the week from | April 23 to April 80, amounted to $5.- | 9S319 apportioned as follows | i. txg

A number of the young men of this
city gathered at the Witter House

of talking over the proposition of

universal approval and we are in
formed that another meeting will be
held in the near future for the further
discussion of the matter and the per-
fectlng of the necessary arrangements
to carry out the work. The efforts of
these young men should be encouraged
as one of the aims of the organization
is to encourage self improvements. and
the business men, or any who may be
approached on the matters, should give
it their hearty support.
The committee appointed to draft
by laws and constitution met Mon
day evening with Attorney Geo.
p. Hambrecht, who, together with
the following compose the committee:
Harry Little. Leonard Voyer and Mr..
Wood.

sists of the following young men:
Chas. Loeffiebein. Verne Rumsey and
Mr., Bergstrom.
A committee was also appointed to
look around and get options on suits
of rooms suitable for the purpose of
the new organization. This COM
mittee consists of the following:
Warren Fisher. Harold Arpin and Mr.
Carlson.
While the name of the new organiZa-

ately. we are informed that the Young

MANY DEER ARE
NOW ARRIVING

Just at this time the deer that have
been shot in the north country by
the hunting parties that went from
this city, are beginning to arrive, and
as consequence a large number of
the carcases have been placed on eX-
hibition and are being weighed.
Nearly all of the butcher shops have
consumed their spare time in weigh
ing these animals, to satisfy the
curiosity of the hunters, and it is not
uncommon to see a group around
most any of the meat merchants,
animatedly discussing the weight OF
the latest arrival.
So far as is known DR.. j. J. LooZe
has captured the prize deer this
season, as the large animal he secured
tipped the scale at POO pounds
All of the hunters who have re-
turned from the north say that the
deer are plentiful this year, and seem
to be entirely satisfied with their
work, many having filed their licenses
in week. 1t has been estimated by
the state game warden's department
that there are fully 5000 hunters in
the northern woods of Wisconsin.
