PROBABLY VETO
WAGE ORDINANCE

Mayor Pratt will in all probable
ity veto the wage scale ordinance
passed by the city council Wednes-
day night and laid before him for
his signature. He claims that 1t
Is not as good an ordinance as the
one he had prepared and submitted
to the city council along with the
one adopted. The mayors ordin-
ance was pigeon-holed, while the
old one that has been pending since
last November was passed.
Both ordinances were introduced
In the city council by Councilman
Leonard Funk Of the First ward. It
Is charged that the ordinance
adopted was prepared by the attor-
ney for Contractor James Broad,
who had 1t drawn for the sole pur-
pose of knocking out Thomas Ma
loney's cooperative contracting
plan.
Funk today said: 1.-THE ordinance
adopted by the city council was
presented to me by a committee
from the federal union and not by
James Broad, or. any other con-

In the condition or Thomas

morning and booked at police head

see one Of the most peculiar effects
of whisky on the human mind.
Gasping for breath and with per-
spiration running In streams from
his startled face, Fields rushed into
the police station shouting that q
man had been swallowed up by the
sidewalk, at Stevens street and
Main avenue. Officer Henry Sna-
miska was dispatched to the scene
with all possible haste with the col
ored man excitedly leading the
way, telling rambling story Of the
alleged occurrence, as he ran.
A small hole In the division lines
of the concrete sidewalking was
the only opening in the street that
+ the officer found. He nad expected
to find some poor fellow who had
fallen through an open trap door
into a cellar way. His astonish-
ment increased when the negro ran
cautiously up to the small opening
and, thrusting his finger into 1t,
said. There's where he went in.

and the consideration of the plans
was taken up in executive session,
behind closed doors. The commits
sioner, 1t seems, had not been con-
verified to the day labor plan in the
discussion behind the walls of the
board of public works, as he was
still in favor of the contract plan
today as the most expeditions way
of carrying on the improvements
Reuterdahl says an emergency
exists that will be more speedily
met by the contrac, pan than by
day labor. Time is the element in
the case, and time can only be
saved by advertising the different

plans are prepared. He says 1t
might be arranged to pay the 80
inch main by day labor and do pos
sibly other parts Of the work in
that way, but to get the standpipes
and reservoir built for next year
the contract plan is necessary.
The people of the parched dis
tricts say that they won their fight
before the city council and secured
the, approval of the pfans Of Reu-
terdahl by the council and Profess
sor w. H. Burr and an appropria-
ton of 100000 to start the work.
Now they fear tina, the fight will
have to be gone over again in a
struggle over the plan in which the
extensions shall be built. The &C.
ton of the city council in ordering
that the work proceed under the
contract plan was approved last
night at the meeting of the Ken
wood-Lidgerwood people.

and the state board Of pharmacy

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

1t will be interesting news to the
older people residing in the county,
who remember the general interest
taken in Sunday school conventions
held in many Of the towns through
out the state. that the citizens of
Dundee and the Sunday school work
ers of Delaware county. have in
store a treat which will Re given at
the annual convention to be held in
that town sometime in June Capt.
j. F. Merry, who organized the town
ship associations of Delaware ooun-
ty more than thirty years ago. and
who will be remembered by the old
err people on account of his gospel
singing at similar conventions will
divide the time with Senator George
w. Durham in helping in leading the
singing at the Dundee meeting. Peo-
pie who have recently heard Capt.
| Merry and Senator Durham in song
know their aptitude for this line of
religious work, and still retain that
sympathetic quality of voice which
is always heard with much pleasure
by everyone. 1t is hoped that this
meeting will be one of old-time earn
estness and vigor, and the commit
tee in charge has planned a very ex-
cellent program. Hon. R.. j. Bixby

DEATH OF MRS. D. F. GROVE.

Mrs. D. F. Grove, after an illness
of many months, died at her home
on Butler street in this city, Wednes-
day afternoon at about 4 o'clock,
May ~. 1909. The funeral was held
Friday afternoon at o'clock from
the residence. the sermon being de-
livered by the Rev. John Frank
Moore of the First Congregational
church. who was assisted by the
Rev. R. A. Barnes of the Methodist
Episcopal church. Burial was made
in the Manchester cemetary.
The maiden name of Mrs. Grove
was Myra L. Strong, who was a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.
Strong. and she was born on the
Strong homestead in Honey Creek
township August 90, 1865, being. at
the time of her death. AZ years, 0
months and 16 days of age. She liv-
ed with her parents onthe farm nn.
til 1880, when they moved to Greeley.
Three years later, November %, 1888,
she was married to David L. Grove,
the ceremony being performed in
Greeley. Mr.. and Mrs. Grove lived
in that place two years, removing to
Manchester, which has been their
home ever since. No children were
born to them. A little girl, Eunice
was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Grove
several years ago, who, with the
husband, her father and two sisters,
Mrs. Eva Beckwith of Greeley and
Mrs. Jennie B. Noble Of Howard
South Dakota, mourn her death.
Mrs. Grove united with the First
Congregational church on coming TO
Manchester nearly twenty-four years
ago. She retained a membership in
the Tourist club until her health
failed, and was also a graduate of
the Chautauqua Literary and Scienti-
fic circle.
Mrs. Grove had many friends.
Those who knew her best remember
her frequent evidences of kindly in
terest for those who were in need
or for whom she seemed at all times
DESTROYS of making happy by. some
thoughtful deed or act. She was for
several years an active worker in
the Tourist club, besides taking much
pleasure in the social work of the
church and in attending its services.
Mrs. Grove lived a simple and quiet
life, devoting her time and strength
to her home and family. Death came
as relief to Mrs. Grove, releasing
her from a long and weary illness, in
which suffering marked its course.
During the last few days, constant
and loving attention was bestowed
upon her by the husband and sis
tiers, and by them is the loss felt as
only such bereavement leaves it's
lasting remembrance. The friends of
the family unite in extending that
sympathy which seems to penetrate
the absorbing thought of sorrow and
loneliness.
