himself as water commissioner.
It was voted to build side walk on

Flooded Alleys.

Alderman Jacobs recommended that
an investigation be made to ascertain
whether it could not be provided for
the business houses to connect with
the sewers, inasmuch as the alleys
are often flooded.

The Third Avenue Sewer.

Concerning the Third avenue sewer
Alderman Welk offered an amend
ment to the original ordinance, pro-
vidfng for the assessment of the block
between Broadway and Birch upon
the properties which will be benefited
by the improvement, rather than have
it paid by the city as the original
ordinance provided.
The Moeller and Schilling properties
are already connected with sewer
and the connection paid for, therefore
those properties were considered ex-
empt.
It was much discussed whether the
city should pay the whole amount or
whether the properties benetiting
should be assessed proportionally for
that portion of the sewer between
Broadway and Birch.
The opinion of City Attorney Bent
ley was that the council has the right
to relieve the Moeller and Schilling
properties but that the other properties
could not be assessed the amounts,
that would have been assessed against
the Moeller and Schilling properties in
addition to the regular assessments.
After several remarks Alderman
Welk Withdrew his amendment.
The ordinance was passed as origi-
nally read.
A resolution was passed authorizing
to adgertise for bids for the construc-
ton of the Third venue sewer.

Free Telephones.

Acting City Attorney F. r. Bent
aey reported concerning the favorable
decision of the Peck case and the
question of free phones. Attorney
Bentley said that the decision handed
down by the supreme court makes
valid contracts for free phones, when
the contract had entered into by the
scity.with the company before the public
utilities law went into effect. This
makes valid the contract of the local
telephone company with the city of
Baraboo, entered into when the COM
pany was granted the franchise. Thus
the city gets the free use of certain
phones in the schools and other places.
Concerning the East street conditions
Alderman Isenberg reported that the
work of finishing and leveling had
been left until it could all be done at
once. This is because fire hose must
be used for flushing and it has not
seemed advisable to have that hose
away from the fire department much
of the time.

the unexpired term of Elk Sheriff
Davis
The Board has been somewhat in
doubt as to whether or not the un.
expired term dated from the issuing
of the governors proclamation de-
claring the office temporarily vacant
and appointing Coroner McManus, or
from the date of the governors de-
cision declaring Mr. Davis permanent
ly removed after the hearing had
been given to him. If the former
were true. there would remain over
year of the unexp-red term and a
special election must be called; but
in the latter case the Board must APP
point. 1t seems TO have been decided
that the latter is the correct view
and the Board will act accordingly
The law explicitly declares that the
coroner, when appointed by the gov
ernor, shall perform the duties of
sheriff until the successor of suen
sheriff shall have been duly elected or
appointed which implies that the
coroner shall not hold the office thus
vacated to the end of the term.
A number Of candidates have pre-
scented themselves to the Board or
been presented by their friends
Prominent among these are Alderman
'Greaney and Alderman Nellis. Both
have been more or TESS active and
prominent in Republican politics in
the county and have large followings.

CAIRo's PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

Much has already been said edi-
torially anert Judge Buffers criti-
cism of the people Of Cairo, in which
/ he attributed the misearriages of jus,
tice in his court to low public sen.
timent" in this community; but the
following from The Bulletins valued
short Talks" contributor is so strong
ly to the point on various lines, that it
is given place in this column and is
respectfully commended to the atten-
ton of Judge Butler and his
apologists:
Charged with some responsibility
for the miscarriage Of justice in
Cairo, a high court official ascribes
il in part to a low caste in ideals. o.
a low standard of morals, prevailing
here
rs his judgment warranted by the
/ churches, which are as numerous here
as anywhere, and as well attended
and the pastors Of which are con.
stantly endeavoring to instill. into the
minds of their congregasgaU the
highest ideals suggested by the scrip
ture?
rs 1t warranted by the Cairo
schools, which are not surpassed for
excellence, nor conducted on higher
plane of ethics, anywhere? 1t might
be properly said in this connection
that ample accommodations are pro-
vided for all children of the school
age, and that nowhere is a smaller
percentage of children out of, SshGqL
Is it sign of low public senti.
ment, where so many fraternal and
benevolent societies exist in city
the size of Cairo?"
do the gentIemens clubs. like the
Alexander, the Elks and the Country
Club, and the numerous social, liter
airy, charitable and religious clubs and
societies composed of women indicate
a low public sentiment?
DO the grand hospitals here locat,
ed and the extensive public library
so well patronized, indicate low pub
lie taste?
when a circus bills the town for
Sunday performance and the people
quite unanimously protest against It
and the authorities prohibit the exhi.
bition, does this indicate low pub
lie sentiment?
When the courts fail to protect
women from assault and murder and
the community rises unanimously tC
protect its good women by the only
means it can command does this indl
cate low public sentiment or low
standard of morals?
when the authorities fail for
long period to protect the lives O.
men and women, and no change fol
the better Is in sight, what shall {
righteous community do? If it rise;
and hunts down the bloodthirsty am
heastly villains, does this Indicate,
low public sentiment or low mora
standard? Would not such an upris
ing under such circumstances rehec
greatly to the credit of the commun
ity. showing that it had high publ
sentiment and was sound morally a
the core?
THE most serious reflection upol
the community would be the fact
that its legal authorities could SO mis-
judge 1t as to conclude that its mora
standard was low, or that public ser
timent in it was low"

New York, Oct. 26-The unique sit
uation of a mayoralty candidate SUI
ing for lible a newspaper which is the

World opened it's columns at the be-

Washington. Oct. 26.-President
Zelaya of Nicaragua has denied pass
ports TO Americans to leave Managua
by the north. This news reached the
state department from the American
consulate at Managua. The depart

1t appears from the brief dispatch
that passports to Americans were not
refused when departure was to be
made from the Pacific coast.
Another significant statement was
that it was rumored that General Alf-
arc had left Managua to participate
in revolution in Salvador This was
the first official indication that Sc
rious trouble may be expected there.

from Bluefields announced that the
revolutionists, in conformity with the

into the city but that he left them
outside somewhere. From here he
IS thought to have gone to Walla Wal
la. where he sold the horses to George
Drumheller for 5000. The Walla Wal
la purchaser later sold them to a Sc
attle man for $3.50. In order to make
the identity of their prisoner Sure the
officers brought Drumheller over from
Walla Walla this morning and he
easily identified Newton as the man
who had sold him the stolen horses
despite the protests of tne accused
man that he was innocent
After selling the horses in Walla
Walla Newton came back here to live
and since that time has managed to
spend all the money he received for
the horses.
Drumheller is the man who loses
by the transaction as he is out the
$500 he paid for the horses. The
check for $3.50 was turned over to
Hoff and he will allow the animals to
stay in Seattle though he says he
would rather have the horses than
the money.
