CITY COUNCIL D0INGS.

The council met in regular session
Monday evening and found ,uough bus,
mess awaiting it to require its attention
for almost three hours. A subject Of
minor Importance to the public general
ly but of exceeding difficulty for the
city law makers to solve il who shall
take care of thenew police patrol horse. >
Some time ago the council passed res.
olution directing and ordering the fire
department members to care for the
horse and later Mayor Groffman vetoed
the councils directions At Monday
evenings meeting the council by vote
of 10 to A over.ruled the veto and the fire
department will now have an extra horse
to look after. The vote was taken after
considerable oratory had been SPILLED
and much explanation and argument
were offered.
A matter of much more Importance
to the public generally was the fixing of
the tax rate for the year. The finance
committee reported in favor of rate of
.0232 on the dollar-ap Increase of one
half mill on last years rate-and the re-
port was adopted without change. Sew
eral of the wards will have to pay a
rate somewhat in excess of that given
because of special ward expenditures.
This is true in the first and third wards
because of the contemplated paving and
in the fourth ward because of its indeb
tedness to the general fund.
An ordinance was introduced which
if passed will abolish wood curbing and
compel the placing of cement curbs and
cement cutters in the future.
A committee will interview the man
agement of the electric light company
and secure figures for the lighting of all
streets with large arc lights instead of
the small lights in use now. This move
should meet with general approval as
the small lights are of but little use and
the procuring of the larger ones is in
line with the policy of progress lately
bsing evidenced generally in the city.
An ordinance requiring the trimming
of all shade trees bordering on the side
walks was also introduced. The ordin.
ance provides that the trees shall be
trimmed to height of seven feet
above the walk.
The paving proposition came in for a
large share of neutrality-suspicious. being
introduced for the paving of Jay street
from Sth to 9th and 9th street from Jay
to Washington. Also for paving Com
merciat street from sth to 10th and from
10th to the river.
Considerable objection seems to have
developed to the paving of Washington
street and it was reported Tuesday that
property owners on the street were con-
tsmplating an action restraining the
city from proceeding with the work

DESPONDENT-COMM SUICIDE,

Rudolph Lau, a young man twenty
five years of age ended his life Saturday
afternoon at the home Of Henry Sell,
in the town of Schleswig. Lau has been
employed for some time past by Sell as
farm hand. He was young man OF
excellent habits and character From
information given the authorities it
would seem that the act had been Care
fully planned, as Lau worked as usual
on Saturday until quite late in the after
noon and then went to his room and at
tired himself in his best clothes with the
exception of his coat, collar and tie.
Very shortly after going to his room the
Sell family were startled by a pistol re-
port and going to the room they found
the young man, dressed as stated above,
lying dead across his bed with revolver
gripped tightly in one hand But little
more than year ago close friend OF
Laus named Paulson committed suicide
in practically the same manner.
No cause other than temporary insan
ity due to dependency is ascribed fol
Laa's act. He had about $50 due him
as wages and search of his trunk re
vealed cash and certificates of deposit
amounting to $3.50 more. He was un
married. His parents live in the towr
of Eaton. The funeral was held from
his home on Tuesday.

RESULTS OF ELECTION.

The elections held Tuesday through
out the country show that Massachu
setts and Rhode Island have re-eelctet
Republican Governors, while Virgini,
has returned Democrat to this office.
New York city has elected the Dem
ocratic candidate. Judge William j
Gaynor, to the office of Mayor, while il
Philadelphia the effort of the reformer.
to break the Republican organization
has failed.
Tom L. Johnson, Democrat, has beer
defeated as Mayor of Cleveland, o.
In Maryland the paramount issue wa.
the so.called disfraachising amendment
designated to eliminate the negro as {
political factor. The returns in thi.
State came in slowly and the result i,
still uncertain. The Indications are
however, that the amendment has beer
defeated
In Indiana the Republicans scored
several important victories, particularly
in Indianapolis, where Samuel Lewis
Shank, Republican, was elected Mayor
and the entire Republican ticket re
| turned.
The Republicans carried Massachu
sets by the narrowest margin in the his
tory of the Bay State for nearly a quar-
ter of century. The entire party tick
ct was re elected, but Gov Eben. Ora
per's plurality was cut down from GO, 00l
last year to 5000.
1t is apparent that Gov. Aran j. Po
ther, Republican, has been reelected
over Olney Arnold, Democrat, in Rhode
Island, by several thousand majority
and that the complexion of the mex
Legislature will remain Republican.
Tammany elected another Mayor o.
Greater New York in the person o.
Judge Gaynor, Democrat but the or
ganization lost its grip on the city finan
ces. The Republican fusion forces will
control absolutely the Board of Estimate
and Apportiontment In addition thu
Republican fusionists elected Charles S
Whitman District Attorney of New
York county and practically all thei
other candidates on the city and county
! tickets.
New Jersey elected eight members O.
the State Senate and full house Of
sixty members of Assembly. The Re
pubicans will again control both houses
New York State elected an Assembly
that will show q Republican majority O
about thirty eight.
Kentucky was carried by the Demo
Gratis. Both houses of the legislature will
be largely Democratic.

tioual strength of character and kindly

voted to her religion. For many years

foremost citizens and their memory will
remain in the hearts of those who knew
them for years to come.
Mrs. Walsh was cousin of Michael
Davitt, the famous Irish Patriot and
Irish Member of English Parliament,

of recent years.
The funeral took place from St Luke's

George has played it upon this office,
and from the devil down all look upon
him with distrust. He entered one day
in deprecating way, sat upon the ink.

story WAS won from him by series of
sympathetic questions. He was the
owner of five geese which he wished to
rattle off, charging 10c only for one
chance. Ia the dicker which resulted it
was understood fat goose was to seek

The law provides that each district

that the director and treasurer may al

The superintendent expects to get to-

similar purposes. AT these smaller meet

boards may know what to expect when
they visit the school. Discipline, neat

meetings while the larger ones be taken
up at the Annual meeting. Think OF
this before you come TO the meeting

LUMBER TRADE. Our mill-owners

logs this winter sufficient to manufact.
ure some four million feet. We think
he is smart A certain amount of lumb-
er is required every year to supply the
market, and when lumber is high, ev.
rybody rushes into the trade-the mar
ket becomes overstocked for time, and
prices fall, and then for season, the
comparatively few who continue in the
trade are pretty sure to realize large
profits.
