BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Made New Appropriation of
 $5,0OO for Bronson Library

The board of aldermen met last night and after a chat in the ante room an agreement was reached cn the estimates, and then all marched out and got down to business in the open. Chairman Filling presided and all the members were present except MT Goss and MT Nell. AL derman Larkin wielded the whip and democrats as we'll as republicans were subjected to it until after the estimates had been disposed of.
 No bids were received for sewage disposal bonds and as soon as this was announced the report of the board of finance as amended was taken up and adopted. The changes include the cutting of sidewalks,ne work, from $30,000 to $24,O00, making a new item of $5,000 for the Bronson library, changing the item "Crematory" to Preliminary Work for New Crematory," and reducing the amount from $1O,OOO to $1, ,OOO. The sum of $6,000 was set down for Driggs school. This makes a tax levy of 14.S mills in the inside dis trict.
 Petitions were received from D. J. Corwin and F. J. Kilduff for index ing the records in the town clerk $ office. The reports of the bureau of assessment on the layout of Cooke and Keefe streets and on the change of grade of South Leonard street were read and approved The mayor vetoed the action of the board re- garding the price of caring for the voting machines. He didn't consider it plain enough and asked for some thing more definite. The veto was sustained and the matter was sent back to the same committee. The opinion of the city attorney regard ing the right of a private citizen to collect back taxes on lists of 1903 1904, stated that in case action should be taken against the delin- quents the sheriff or a constable would have to be employed.
 M. H. Brennan and L. R. Archer, the committee chosen to appraise the value of two horses belonging to H. M. Rigney, which had to be killed on account of bites from a rabid dog, reported that they had agreed upon $1,500. The horses were trot- ters, but this fact was not stated in the report. Mir Elton thought the board should know more about the animals before paying the claim. Mir Walker wanted the report sent back to the committee and Mir Lar kin suggested that the petitioner be given leave to withdraw and fight it out in the courts. Alderman Spain and Alderman Hurley favored ac- cepting the report. but this didn't appear to be the popular view of the case and it was finally decided tu refer the report to the law commit tee. The award also included S6O for service to Dr Bland and $7 for constables' fees. Several new pe.i- siOns were read and suitably re- ferred. These include one for a fire alarm box at Bank and Fifth streets and one from John ClOhessey for the payment of a street assessment of s15O with nine years interest.
 The board adjourned for two weeks.

THE CRIB.
By Clara L. Goggins.


 l entered the church at Christmas, And knelt in silent prayer, I seemed to be so saddened And heavily ladened with care; As prayed my gaze followed Some little children who strayed, Where, near our Blessed Mothers
 altar
 A little crib was made. I arose and followed the children, That, which met my eyes Will live in my memory forever, Twas splendor hard to describe;; On a little straw covered manager, AS on that Christmas night, Lay the little Babe of Bethlehem Aglow with a wondrous light. His little arms were both outstratched Seeming to tell each one That He would safely shelter them When life's work is done; His mother knelt there beside Him, Mary, so meek, so mild, And St Joseph knelt beside her  Both adoring the little child. Fen the shepherds stood round about As on that Christmas night Watching their sheep they were startl-
 ed
 By the heavens glorious light; When angels came and told them Christ the Lord was born, In lowly stable at Bethlehem Only cattle keeping Him warm. All these thoughts stole OCT me. My heart seemed growing light, As l stopped to joyfully mediate On that first Christmas night; A peaceful calm came OCT me, seemed to hear again, The angers' voices when they sang Peace on earth-good will to men.

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York. Aug. 3.-Dun's report
follows: Trade reports from the
leading cities are singularly uniform
in making favorable comparisons with
the corresponding week in any pre-
vious year At the most western and
southern points, improvement in the
crop prospects brought out liberal
fall orders. Jobbing houses are pre-
pairing for the winter trade on a
scale seldom equalled, the consump-
ton of seasonable goods are promis-
ing to deplete stocks. Manufacturers
still receive orders in abundance, few
clothing cancellations appear and are
exceptions when the plants have
smaller contracts than year ago.
More detailed reports for the first
half of this year add to earlier testi-
mony that all records for six months
are surpassed.
The settlement of the ore strike
removes the danger of interruption
to activity at the pig iron furnaces
which promise to establish new rec
ord during the second half. Accord
ing to the regular report of the
American Iron and Steel association,
all previous figures were surpassed
during the first six months with ag-
gregateof 13.47.44 tons.
Wooden goods make slow progress.
although practically all lines are
now open.
The demand therefore was limited
to immediate requirements and the
tanners curtailed the production
which adds to the accumulation of
hides and depresses quotations.

BIG BIRDS ON SMALL WINGS.
Some ParadoXes That NcN the Inycs-
tigator and Upset Theory.

In an attempt to discover some
universal law of bird-hight. scIen-
lists have disclosed concerning a
number of species a most puzzlng
paradox. perhaps the most mysterious
OF the enigmas that the Subject pre-
sents. says Everybody. II is that
in a number of birds and insects me
size of the wings decreases IN pro-
portion TO the increase in the size OF
the body Of the flying creature. The
Australian crane. fer instance.
weighs over 800 times more than
the sparrow. but in proportion has
only one-seventh the wing area Of the
smaller bird.
This curious fact is equally strik-
ing il we compare birds with insects.
II the gnat were increased In size
until II was as large as the Australian
crane. and II the wings or the insect
were enlarged to maintain the pro-
portion they now bear 10 Its body.
they would be about $50 times larger
than the cranes
II requires 2.62 square feet OF
wing area per pound TO float the
bank swallow, but 20 sustain the
tawny vu,ture. a monstrous bird In

square foot Of wing surface per
pound OF the body The albatross.

wings of only eight feet. The storK
weighs eight times more than the
pigeon. but in proportion has only
half as much wing surface.

HOT WEATHER SUGGESTIONS.

Every chance acquaintance, these
hot days, can tell you what to do TO
keep well and cool. but the safest ad-
wise is keep close to Nature.
Nature says don't drink very
much ice water-use the tempered
water.
Don't eat heating dishes, warm
meats, and heavy vegetables, but
confine yourselves to light vegeta-
bles and fruits, and cold meats.
Nature, also says, and its injunc-
ton is In strong terms, to keep the
system in good condition, the liver,
bowels, stomach, kidneys and skin as
every one contributes to health or Ill
health.
osteopa,hy is Natures treatment,
and the mott rational for all disease,
especially the ailments Incident to
hot weather. Those weak, tired out
and rundown conditions; dull head
aches; disturbed bowel conditions,
and torpid liver yield quickly to its
application.
But, let me tell you any time, Of
people you know well, who will
cheerfully tell you what Osteopathy
has done and is doing for them. That
Is unprejudiced evidence and will
appeal to you. DR.. G. b. Froage, BIG

SCHOOL BOARD CLERK.

one of the first duties OF the school
board under the new regime is to
provide a clerk for the board and SUI
perintendent, and the superintendent
should be allowed TO select that
clerk. superintendent Carnagey was
elected to conduct the schools as an
expert in school matters, and his
time should not be taken up with
of statistical reports.
running after school trustees about
minor matters and seeing to routine
details. Attention OF this and other
boards has been called to the fact
that the accumulating mass of de
tail work is hampering the superin-
tendent in his proper functions. and
injuring the schools. When the SUI
perintendent is not personally super
vising the work of teachers. he should
have his mind free to solve school
problems. Brain workers are bust
est when their hands are idle. and
the board should not pick out for
clerk feather-weight politician. who
would add only to the responsibilities
and cares of the superintendent.

THE PLATFORM

The platform adopted by the Re-
publicans leaves a loop hole on the
question Of Sunday closing and it
shows that the Republicans have not
the courage to face the issue square
ly.
THE attitude of the Democrats
has forced Mr. Grinstead, who is the
Republican nominee for mayor. to
declare that in event of bis election
be will strive to enforce the Sunday
closing law, but the platform makes
no specific declaration on this subject
Mr.. Grinstead must be given credit
for sincerity, but it seems to be the
policy Of his party to try to catch the
temperance vote through his declar-
alton and please the saloon element
by Ignoring the question of closing
in the party platform"
This is one of the favorite argu-
ments Of the Democratic state press
The Republican state platform SAYS:
'Sixth-There should be prompt and
enforcement OF the criminal
laws of every kind"
In view of the real facts, the Dem
ocratic press might argue as well
that the Republican platform does
not specifically mention burglary,
highway robbery or arson.

Heroic War Nurse Loses Mind.

Marshalltown. Ia. Aug "A
tardy but tragic result OF the Span
ish-American war occurred here
when Miss Blanche Packard went
violently insane and was committed
to the state hospital. S. b. Packard,
her father. is former governor OF
Louisiana and owns beautiful
country home just west OF this city.
His daughters insanity was caused
by continued ill health resulting
from her hard work during the Span
ish-American war In the army hos
pitfalls in Cuba. Miss Packard was a
yellow fever nurse.
