FOR MORE STREET LIGHTS

Property owners from the wiltshire
district appeared before the finance
committee yesterday afternoon to pre-
sent their demand for lights. 1t will be
referred to the board of public works
and the city electrician, with instruc-
tions to find locations for the lights and
to estimate the cost.
City Attorney Shenk has given an
opinion that the S6500 paid by the su-

such money collected would be spent on
the roads in the district from which it
was paid.

RIFLE TO WEST POINT
Veteran PIainsman Announces
Retirement from Arena

loyalty and generous fellowship shown
him by the rank and file Of the army,
and in particular the enthusiastic re-
ception given him every season by the

hunting expedition. 1t is a very fancy
affair, gold and silver plated, smartly
engraved with a name plate encrusted
in Jewels. The only condition attached
to the gift is that 1t forever remains at
West Point, the cadet making the high
est score during each year to have the
distinction Of having his name en-
graved beneath that Of the greatest
scout America has ever known-Butfalo
Bill.
Millions of people have witnessed
Buffalo BilPS marvellous shooting with
this same rifle, but he has only a few
more shots to fire-with Col, Cody $
visit to this city comes an announce
rnent OF his positive retirement from
arenic work-it is Buffalo Bills final
farewell to e. nation which has hero
worshiped him this quarter of centu-
nv past. And as fitting tribute to the
keen appreciation he holds of his mil
lion friends Col. Cody has gathered
about him this season a most pleasing
entertainment, a congenial combination
OF stars from two hemispheres-the
wild West and the Far East-the lat
ter being the noteworthy eXhlbltlon OF
Mai. Gordon w. Lille (Pawnee BID,
Cody's, business partner, and in whose
caretake the great combined exhibitions
go after this season.
