Editor KEMPER HERALD:
We desire, through the,columns OF
your paper, to return u sincere
thanks to the many friends and ac-
quaintances who have so kindly as
sisted us in replenishing the house
hold goods, wearing apparel, ETC.,
lost by the fire Of the night of June
10th, which destroyed our home and
its contents
Words cannot adequately express
feelings of appreciation in matters
of this nature; the heart is full. the
tongue tied. God only knows how
deep our gratitude-and God only
can repay. Very truly,
r.. G. MCCREIGHT AND FAMILY,
Wahalak, Miss.
Mr.. McCreight informs us that the
fire was caused by a defective lamp
burner, to the best of the fanily's
knowledge. The house was an old
and large one, and the dry timbers
burned like finder. The family, ex-
cept Mr.. McCreight, were attending
religious service at the church; he
was doing, and aroused justin time
to save himself. Everything was
lost, save q trunk, a few blankets
and a gun.
We understand another house will
be erected on the site of the one de-
stroyed at once.

thing should be done to make that

Mr.. E. g. Patterson wanted TO know
why the walks on Seventh street
south Of Main were not put III also,
and a desultory talk followed. Mr..
McGillis said that Sidewalk Contractor
Bowe had succeeded in tearing up
most OF the Sixth street walk and then
concluded there would be little ia II
for him to build cement walks at that
place as he considered the lots abut-
ting the Improvement; when the mixed
state of the title was taken into eac-
count, not worth the cost of the walks
in case he had to depend on them for
his pay. He said the contractor had
said he would restore the old wooden
walks as he found them, but Mr.. Nc
ellis thought this would be a hard
proposition as the lumber was rotted
away. 49,.

tractor. He also stated that enough
sewer pipe had been got by the city
from the contractor to- more than
offset this sum. T.
Mr.. McGillis stated that the city
engineer had made an estimate that
5000 would be sufficient to bring the
streets to grade and that it would re-
quire the balance of the proposed ap-
preparation of $1;50O to pay for the
5000 feet of water pipe needed for
culberts and for labor. This would
put the streets in very good shape,
though, Of course, there, would be
plenty of work needed on them from
time to time to keep them up.

ESTIMATE IS BOOSTED $525
It Council Meeting Monday Night Mayor ReneWs Veto Of
Appropriation Ordinance and New One is Introduced
Carrying $525 More Than Previous One

q The city fathers held a short but
session Monday night and
another try was made to provide funds
for city expenses the coming year.
Inasmuch as the mayors veto Of the
old appropriation ordinance had been
presented at special meeting it was
deemed irregular and to make the
record clear he sent in another, stat
ing as his reason that the levy was
excessive. Alderman Tatley wanted
to have another try to pass the ordi-
nance over the veto but a motion to
adjourn cut short further proceedings
and everything went over until Octo-
Der 9, by which time another appro-
priation ordinance can be finally acted
upon. r.. i ..- 49,: .. ........ ...
Judging from the expressions of the
aldermen there is little likelihood of
the tax being anywhere near as low
as last year and things seem to be
working around in such a way that
the new ordinance will probably be
passed practically as introduced last
night, in spite of the efforts of the
mayor to keep the appropriations
down to last years figures. q
Z The ordinance introduced Monday
night carries $525 more than the
previous ordinance owing to the fact
that the old ordinance did not provide
for the rental of the seven new fire
hydrants that have been added by rea-
son of the water extensions; other.
wise the several items remain the
same.
The best thing the council has done
for long time was the passage of a
resolution directing that in future all
street. work must be done under the
direct supervision of the city engineer
This ought to result in systematic and
better work than has obtained in the
past and carries out one of the sug
gestions of the Tribune. Beyond this
it might be said little business was
accomplished. The meeting was char
acterized by good feeling on all sides
and seeming desire to, arrive at q
solution of the yexing problem of ap
preparations that will be fair to all
interests. =
Mayor Webb presided at the meet
ing and all the aldermen, save McKen
zie and RichhoIt, were present.
The mayor called attention to the
fact that his veto of the appropriation
ordinance had been presented at a
special meeting and had it read again
to make the record straight.
The street commissioner reported
179 loads Of dirt, at 10 cents per load
as having been placed on the streets
| to fill up holes caused by the sinking
of sewer trenches, which amount
should be charged to the sewer con.

: The. mayor called attention to the
unpaid bills on the auditors
desk upon which the council had TAX
en- no action. This was discussed and
it was decided to pass them up until
the matter of appropriations was set
tied.
The following bills were presented:
Elias Ely, for police duty, $50. John
F. Fort, for police court fees, 1895.
H. C. Rhud, for dirt placed on the
streets at ten cents per load, $21.S0.
Alderman McGillis wanted to know
by whose authority Rhud placed dirt
on the streets; that he had not given
1t. He said the rule had been that be-
for anyone could place dirt on the
streets an order must be obtained
from the city engineer, who would
direct where it would be placed, and
he appealed to Engineer Shelton for
corroboration.
Mr.. Shelton admitted that had been
the rule, but said lhe had never been
applied to for an order, and except in
the case of the dirt from the Metho-
dist church. he had had nothing to do
with placing dirt on the streets. He
knew nothing of the Rhud case. The
bills were referred to the claims COM
mittee.
Mayor Webb called attention to the
condition Of the walks on upper Sixth
street, or rather to the lack of them,
and asked what was to be done about

When the total was announced
there was a little buzz heard from the
members and then Alderman e. G..
Patterson wanted to know what action
the mayor would take on this budget.
Mayor Webb said he thought the
appropriations would have to be
scaled down before they would meet
with his approval.
Alderman McGillis said he failed to
see where this could be done. That
if 5000 feet Of pipe We're not absolute
ly needed for culverts, in order to
save what work had already been
done on the streets, the street fund
could be cut to small figure. These
pipes were absolutely necessary and
| must be properly put in with plenty
of earth over them else the first heavy
load to pass over would crush them in.
| Mr.. Tatley said he thought it the
proper time to dispose of the old bills
SO that it might be known just how
| much money was needed, but the sug-
gestion did not seem to meet with
favor. .
| Alderman e. G. Patterson called at
tention to the fact that the new ordi-
nance was higher than the old and he
thought that if the mayor was to veto
it that his old veto ought to be with
drawn and the matter let stand until
action was taken on the new ordi-
nance, but the mayor evidently feared
that an adjournment might be taken
! in the meantime, which would have
had the effect of making the first ordi-
nance legal by virtue Of the time
limit, as he had read new veto of
the old ordinance. which was received
and ordered fled
The mayor ordered a roll call on the
approval or rejection of the veto.
Alderman E. G. Patterson could see no
use in introducing a new ordinance
covering almost the same grounds as
the last one and then finally passing
the old ordinance over the veto.
Alderman A. T. Patterson moved tc
adjourn to the 9th. Tatley moved
that a vote be taken on the veto
which was seconded by Horner. Pat
terson renewed his motion to adjourn
which was seconded and carried

August II, at Dublin and have been
living at Shirley, having separated on
Sept. II. Mrs. Wilson is thirty-one
years old and he is six years her jun
ior. She has been married and di-
vorced twice before.
In her complaint Mrs. Wilson
charges cruel and inhuman treatment
and also alleges that her husband at
the time of her marriage, was afflict-
ed with hereditary disease which
she contracted and which has caused
her much mental and physical an
guish. This is given as the chief
cause for complaint.
In making application for mar
riage license parties are required to
swear whether or not they have any
hereditary or contagious disease. If
so. license should be refused. In
securing license about month ago
Wilson SWOre that ne was not SO al
fiicted. Nothing was thought of it
until the complaint for divorce was
filed and if Mrs. Wilson substantiates
her allegations in that respect. Grim

brought against Wilson for violating
the marriage license law.
The law is still new one practi-
cally. having been in effect only few

BENJAMIN SANDS
Biographical Sketch of an EstImable
Citizen, Whose Funeral Took
Place Yesterday.

Benjamin Sands, son of David anC
Levisa Sands, was born just east OF
Richmond, in Wayne County, Indiana
July 4, 1887, and died at his home on
North 18th street, in this city, Sept
18th, 1906.
The entire life of Mr.. Sands was
spent in this county, and a short dis
lance beyond the line in Preble coun
ty, Ohio, hence he had large number
of friends and acquaintance in the
two counties. The writer having
known him intimately through all the
years of their lives, can bear cheerful
testimony to the real and sterling
worth of his character.
The world fails in a large degree to
appreciate the exceeding value of the
men and women who constitute the
substantial body of noble citizenship,
and whose names are seldom, if ever,
seen in the public prints, except when
they marry or die. OF their quiet
and wholesome influence we are al
most unconscious. These are they
who send forth from the touch of
their uplifting lives in the family cir
Gle, children who bless society and
make the world better. Two such
daughters and a son have been nur-
tured in the home of our departed
friend and brother. May they live
long to honor their fathers memory.
1t seems appropriate to present an
extract from letter written by a
close relative of the family, who for
merly lived in their home, although it
was not written for the public, which
does not detract from its value.
The writer says: Dear good man
he has lived his three score and ten
years, and his life has been as free
from evil or guile as it is possible for
life to be- Kind-hearted, honest and
true to everyone.
His future is certainly assured and
the parting is all there is to grieve us.
1t does not seem that / can ever feel
at home in Richmond again, shall so
much miss his kind face and greeting.
He surely has been a kind husband to
you and a kind father to his children.
All this you will be grateful for, al
though you will miss him that much
the more" Mr.. Sands was married to
Miss Mary E. Posey. Dec. II, 1871.
The wife, three children, two sisters
and a brother, survive and lament
their loss, but cherish sweet memo
ries of blessed fellowship with him
whom they loved so much.
Appropriate and comforting funeral
services were conducted Thursday,
September 10Th at the home by their
pastor. the Rev W. NJ. Nelson, assist
