Favorable Culvert Report.
The board reported favorably upon
the matter of building of a culvert
across Thompson's creek on North
Broad street, and estimating the cost
at $3.50. Property benefited will pay
the expense.
Aid. Mahowald said that he did not
favor sixty foot culvert on l2O
foot street, without wings, as it is
liable to be washed out, the same as
was the case at the fair grounds.
Mr.. Haynes said that the cufvert
would be built so that it would not
be washed out.
Uses City Wood.
Aid. Atchison asked Park Superin-
tendent Blake how it was that the
park fund was overdrawn again.
Mr.. Blake said that he had employed
no more men. The fund was over
drawn before the $500 loan was made.
Aid. Atchison said that he had no.
tced four men saving wood, and asked
what was done with the wood.
Mr.. Blake said that the wood was
used at the Kitchen in the picnic
grounds, and what was left he took
home to burn.
AID Atchison thought that this
should be looked into.
Mayor Andrews agreed to make an
investigation.
The bills were allowed, including a
paw roll of $576.O5; Coughlan & Co.,
S437.S5; Fowler & Pay, $4l4.76; and
the final estimate of ST. in the Spring
street sewer contract to c. NJ. Masters.
Switching Nuisance Continues.
Mayor Andrews, just before the ad-
iournment of the council, said that the
Milwaukee switching on the Main
street crossing was as great nuis
ance as ever. He had often had to
wait at the crossing some time, even
when there is no train near. He wished
that at the next meeting the council
would take the matter up and do
something definite about it. He did not
think it necessary for the road to in
the public as much as it
does.
Aid. Gary thought that the gate
keepers were largely to blame, through
negligence.
The meeting was attended by all of
the aldermen.

THE GLOOM OF LINEvITCH.

General Linevitch.' who was the
commander-in- chief of the Russian
forces during the war with Japan
throws out a scare crow in the shape
of an interview in which he predicts
things dreadful for the United States
more especially the yellow peril,
all because the majority of the peop-
pie of this country were in sympathy
with Japan during that struggle.
The general asserts that President
Roosevelt saved Japan from a most
disastrous refeat when he called the
Portsmouth peace conference. Most
people areN of the belief that both
Russia and Japan were glad in
deed that the president acted the
part of the peacemaker and brought
an end to the bloody warfare. Both ma
tions were anxious to tie up the war
dogs, and were tickled beyond descrip-
ton when the president handed them
the pieces of rope with which to per-
form that act.
General Linevitch contends that
Japan has been made all the more
powerful by Americas aid, and that
in the not far distant future this
country will have cause to regret that
she extended the sympathy, for ia
pan will threaten Americas existence
as a Pacific power. In other words,
America, has been the means of plac
ing weapons in the hands. of Japan
that she will use to destroy us. The
general really paints gloomy pic
ture, but we in America do handle
the brush with such results.

Banks and business houses of the
United States during the first half OF
the year were robbed of $5,4S2, 6S7
This fact has been ascertained by com
plications made by the bonding com
panies. This amount is largely in ex-
cess of the amount of the embezzle-
ments for the like period of last year
and it is believed exceeds that of any
previous six months. The banks and
trust companies were the worst suf-
ferers. They lost $2,9sO,59O, as against
only $75S,750 in the first half of
1906.

The non enforcement of the milk
inspection ordinance, that was passed
last summer, was subject for dis
cussion at the meeting of the council
last night. People have been wonder
ing for some time past why the ordi-
nance was not being enforced, especial
ly as the milkmen some time ago put
the price of milk up to sixteen quarts
for a dollar on the strength of the
ordinance Thus far the only hardship
has fallen on the consumers, and they
have apparently had no benefit. There
was a strong sentiment for the passage
of the ordinance, and it was thought
that the administration would see that
it was enforced, but it seems that the
matter has been allowed to slumber
because the milkmen did not come for
ward as a whole and voluntarily agree
to live up to it's provisions.
Aid. Atchison said that some time
ago he had worked for and voted
for a milk ordinance, but the only
thing that it had accomplished SO far
was to raise the price of milk. He
would like to hear from the health
officer.
Milkmen Show Fight.
Health Officer Bjelland said that the
milk men show disposition to fight
the ordinance, and one arrest is need
ed to enforce the ordinance. He had
notified them to get licenses, and one
had done so and two or three others
showed willingness to do SO. 1t had
also been thought best not to make
the tuberculin test until the cows are
put in the barns.
Aid. Atchson asked who the milk
men were who were willing to comply
with the ordinance, as the public
should know it and the milkmen should
have the advantage of the public
knowing it.
DR.. Bielland said that the milkmen
who are willing to cooperate are
Messrs. Thayer, Veigel and Fuller.
Mayor Andrews and several of the
aldermen thought that the health Of
ficer should get busy and enforce the
ordinance.
Only Official Not Criticised.
Pumping Station Engineer Koke pre-
sented a report showing the flow OF

apparatus for future use.

Koke upon his report, for its neat
