At the meeting of the city coun-
Gil Monday night Councilman
HUFF presented an ordinance which
provides for changing the charter
of the city to that of a city of the
fourth class. The city has always
operated under a special charter
enacted by the legislature. The

Sheriff Marshall and Deputy
Ben Blanton went to st. Louis
Sunday, taking with them Arthur
Boyer, the boy who had both legs
cut off by a train near Middlebrook
a couple of months since. AT st.
Louis the crippled boy was turned
over to his brother and sister who
had come from Belleville, Ills,
their home, to take charge of him.
Beyer's misfortune cost Iron coun-
ty about 5000. In view of the fact
that never in his life had he been
a resident here it seems manifest
ly unjust that this county had to
bear the expense.
Drs. Shy and Fitzpatrick per-
formed a very difficult and danger
GUS operation on Lige White last
Friday. Mr.. White had been suf-
fering with istula for six years,
and the disease was gradually
growing worse. 1t is said that the
disease is very dangerous and
that a permanent cure can only be
effected by an operation. The
operation was very successful and
the doctors are to be compile
mented. Mr.. White will be ready
to go home in a couple of weeks.
He is doing fine.-Center0ille Out
look.
Jehu jones' petition for dram
shop license at Middlebrook was
refused by the county court las
Thursday because the petition
lacked one name of having a ma
jority of the tax payers of the
town. 1t seems Mr.. Jones die
have one majority, bnt one name
on the petition had been placed
there by a woman's husband
without written authority from hel
SO to do. Although it was admitted
that the act of the husband was in
perfect accord with the wishes d
the wife, the court held the petit
ton faulty, and license was re-
fused.
