CITY COUNCIL

A meeting was held Ihursday
evening by the city council, I'LL the
members being present. After the
meeting mad been called to order by
president Kiewel. W. Fl. Ryan came
before the council with the proposition
that the sidewalk in front of the
Richard Bros. store be raised to the
grade of the other sidewalks in the
block instead Of having them built
on the grade Of Richard Bros. walk,
saying he would stand for q part OF
the expense. Aldermen Lane and
Bastien opposed this proposition
throughout the meeting. L. E.
Richard, representing the firm OF
Richard Bros. came before the council
and spoke against the raising of the
sidewalk, saying that the other wake
should be built on the same grade and
that they had been inconvenienced on
account of the other walks being 60
much higher than theirs. he said he
could furnish the grade certificate he
received for the walk, which would
show 1t to be on grade.
A. Fem was asked by the president
whether he found the walk tobe below
grade, and answered that it was 4 of
an inch above grade at the north end.
The matter was left undecided after
considerable discussion pro and con.
A petition signed by persons
representing over half the frontage of
property on first street between the
north side of First ave. N. E. and the
south side of First ave- S. E., was
presented, asking that this part Of
First street he macademized. An
order for the paving was then referred
to the board of public works. The
intere ections to be paved, will be paid
out of the general fund.
The paving Of the intersection near
the American House and the ~"
block was also brought up with the
favor of most of the councilmen.

PHONETIC VARIATIONS.
How They Broke Up Latin Into the
Romance Languages.

How They Broke Up Latin Into the
Romance Languages.
What led to the breakup Of Latin
into the various romance languages Of
the Mediterranean basin? Simply the
fact that in centuries Of almost uni
versa1 illiteracy there was no check
upon the phonetic variation which 10
always going on in every language,
but which was In this case fastened
no doubt by the frequent irruptions
into the Roman empire Of barbariani
invaders and settlers. The standard
language existed, indeed, but was in
accessible either to the ear or to thoI
eye Of the vast majority of men. Pro-
nunciation, then, shifted from decade
to decade and took different trend inI
every geographical section Of the Lat
IN speaking world. Slovenlinesses and
corruptions entirely supplanted stand
ard forms the very existence of which
was forgotten, and it was only when
the vernacular literature arose to give
relative fixity to certain number Of
the 1nnumerable dialects that the proc
ess Of degeneration was checked. But
to give every man the means and to
concede to him the right of spelling
exactly as he pronounces would be to
remove the checks on degradation as
spelled at all. Phonetic individualism
would presently result in a state Of
sheer linguistic deliQuescence.
This, of course, is an absolutely I'M
thinkable eventuality. Even If a truly
phonetic system could be introduced it
would be impossible for every parish
or every country to have its own lit
erature and its own transcription Of
the English classics. Linguistic crys-
utilization would take place over larger
or smaller areas. We might have, per-
haps, five languages In Great Britain
the languages of Wessex, of East An
glia, of Mercia, Of Northumbria and Of
Caledonia. But each Of these Ian
guages would represent compromise
between various subdialects and would
be, in fact, an only quasi phonetic
standard language. And If any one
imagines that the Bible or Shakespeare
spelled quasi Theoretically for the use
Of the west Of England could be read
without difficulty and disgust by
Yorkshireman or a Scot, not to men
ton a Californian or Queenslander,
all can say is that he imagines a vain
thing.
The other day in Scotch railway
train l listened to a conversation be.
tween a cockney of the shopman class
and Perthshire grazier or gamekeep-
er. They had quite amazing difficulty
in understanding each other. Not a
single vowel sound did they produce
alike, and it seemed evident to me
that the process by which they did
arrive at mutual comprehension was a
speculative mental translation, often
very slow, of the spoken into the print
ed word. Thus the visual word "game"
formed sort Of bridge or halfway
house between the cockney's "gyme"
and the Scotchman's "gaame."-Fort-

ONE DOG LESS IN TOWN.
A cog thought to be suffering With
BY drophobia was shot last Friday
afternoon by Chief of Police Cannon

people and at one Of the horses on the

stop near the implement establishment.
When Chief Cannon appeared on the
scene. the dog transferred its atten.

viclously, whereupon the Chief
produced his revolver and put an end
to the unhappy canine.
The dog may have been poisoned az
quite few of the canine tribe have

ing for the culprit. It is not known
just when the deed vas done but it
was discovered last Thursday by one
OF the aldermen, who having occasion
to 60 on the West side, went into the
shed in which the steam roller is
Kept, and found the roller to be devoid
OF its brass parts.
Lately the brass cups Of an engine
belonging to John Dennis have also
been reported missing, and when it
IS recalled oil the things that have
been taken during the winter, part
OF which was sold to junk dealers by
minors, it is gratifying to know that
q law has been past by the late
legislature prohibiting the receiving
OF junk of any kind from minors.
Section ! of Chapter s28, Of the general
laws of Minnesota says. 1T shall be
unlawful for any junk dealer, pawn
broker, or second hand dealer to
purchase or to receive on deposit OF
pledge anything Of value as security
for loan of money from any person,
male or female, under lawful sge. !"
Section 2. ANY person violating this
act shall be guilty of a gross
misc emeaner.
This law went into effect from the
date of the acts passage, April IS. 1907,
and a punishment is provided for
those who are found guilty Of violat-
ing this act.
This eliminates one of the dealers
best sources of getting junk. and if
the law IS vigorously enforced,
removes the cause for minors to
steal and dem olish things for tho
purpose of selling the articles. But
it must be remembered that it IL not
only minors that do the stealing. and
the law has NO effect on the junk
dealers, if they receive the stolen
articles, in good faith, from persons
of age. Therefore even If stolen
articles are found in the possession of
junk dealer, pawn broker or second
hand dealer, he can claim that he
received them in good faith from q
person of age and he will be immune
from punishment. II the cuprits of
these latest thefts are caught, they
will be severely death with.
