.LUBER HILL GRAVEL
TO IMPROVE STREETS
Could Be Put to Good Service
in Several Wards of
the City.

The attention of tbs city authorities
is called to the fact that, the gravel
and sand removed from the cutting
down of Luber's hill could be profit
ably used in the several wards in
the city in filling up the mud holes,
as 1t is equally as good ss crushed
stone and is worth dollar load at
least for that purpose and would give
employment for few days to a num-
Der of men and teams who need the
work. If the proposed plan is ad-
hered to, the earth removed in exca-
waiting for the road bed and deposited
at the foot of the hill, it will do 10
good and at a slight expense, it may
be available for the improvement of
many of the streets which needs I'M
proving.
1t will be remembered that when
the hill was partially cut down a
few years ago. much of the earth was
used as IS suggested and the streets
upon which the sand and gravel was
used are in good condition, demon
strating that it was money wisely
spent. While economy is wise thing,
sometimes it is expensive and il ia
always well co. look to tn. future as
we'll as the present.

Observations.

A man who advertised for wife
got letters from several men offering
to let him have theirs.
Glow long did the fight with your
husband last?" about tin minutes,
Yer honor. Sure no lady would keep
at it any longer"
A little, fatherless boy WAS told
by his nurse in solemn manner that
his mother going to be married again.
He received the impress sion that some
thing was about to happen to his
mother, and asked, In an agitated
whisper; "Does mamma known"
"What you want to do in this
panio.'' observed the mild-manered
man, "is to be optimistic. Look
on the bright side. Be like
that man whu fell from the 40 story
building who called out to the man
standing in the window of the thirtieth
floor as he went by: "I'm all right
80 farv'
A man in q neighboring town who
secured wife through matrimonial
agency is now trying to secure
divorce. Just another instance of
finding that mail order bargains are
not always as represented and that
much better grade Of the same article
would be secured ut home. The
truth, isn't it girls?
Recently we heard of man who
on New Years bad determined to be
very good to his wife and praise
everything she did. At dinner he
had always ridiculed her pies, but
this day he started in and beamed all
over az he said: "WIy my dear,
that is the incest pie | ever ate:
why even my mother, who was
famous cook, couldn't equal this; it
Is simply delicious. Wifey didn't
beam, however, but simply said
grouchily, Is that SO? Well, /
bought this at the baker s." Now
what could he do after that.

ANGELINA ENR|GHT
SUDDENLY CALLED
Taken With Appendicitis Yes
terddy AfternOOn-Died
Last Evening.
(From Wednesdays DailyD

One of the saddest of deaths in
the city IN many months, was that of
Miss Angeline Enright, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. James Enright of 329
North Warren street, who died at
ST. Mary's hospital last evening, fol-
lowing an operation for appendicitis.
Misc Enright was taken suddenly Ill
with excruciating pains at the High
school at 2 AS O'Clock yesterday after
noon, having had several previous
attacks. The physicians called de-
cided that an immediate operat ion
was necessary. so she was removed to
the hospital at 5 80 o'clock and the
operation was commenced at 1880
O'clock last evening. The operation
was progressing satisfactorily and
had been almost completed, when the
patient began to ac1 badly from the
anaesthetIcs. Restoratives we're at
once resorted to, but to no avail and
death followed shortly after.
The deceased was one of Water
towns brightest and most popular
young ladies of her age. She was
always of cheerful disposition and a
favorite among the students of the
High schuol, from which institution
of learning she would have graduated
next month, had her life been spared.
The parents and brothers and sisters
have the heartfelt sympathy of the
entire community, for Angeline was
not only well known, but loved and
admired by all who enjoyed her
acquaintance. She was born in this
city Oct. 8, 1890, therefore would
have been eighteen years of age her
next birthday. She was a diligert
student, u staunch friend of many
and her passing away will be
shock, not only to the relatives,
but to the entire student body of
the High school, from which she
was soon to part with honors. She
is survived by her parents and fur
sisters and five brothers: Mrs. F.
j. Stacy, Misses Nellie and Alice En-
rigt, the latter two of this city; Mrs.
Thomas Donahue of Clalrmont, MINI.
joni and Mike Enright of Temple,
Oklahoma; William and James En-
right of Tyler, Texas; Peter Enright
OF this city. Announcement of the
funeral will be made la ter.

a wise, careful painstaklng represen-
tative and give the same thorough and
conscientious attention to the discharge
of the duties of the office, as he has
in every position to which he has been
called by the votes of the electors.
Hon. Fred Smith, the present men,
Der, who has made u very creditable
record as a representative. it is under
stood will not be candidate for reel
ectIon, in which case, Prof. Viebahn
should have no difficulty in securing
the nomination without any opposition.
