COUNCIL, IN CAUCUS, DECIDES
NOT TO SPECIFY TWENTY
FOUR FOOT STREETS.
HULL STICKS FOR THE
WIDER THoRouGHFAREs
Experience in Waterloo Has Been
That Narrow Streets Are Unsatis-
factory, and Some Are Now Being
Made Wider - North Thirteenth
Street to Be Forty Feet in Width.

At a caucus of the city council the
various members of that body decided
not to specify twenty-four foot pave
ments On the various streets so petit
toned by property owners, and the
streets will be specified thirty feet in
width.
At first most of the councilmen were
inclined to favor the narrower street
because of the saving of 20 per cent
in cost to every property owner, and
because ordinary traffic does not use
the last three feet of pavement along
the curb line, but Mr. Hull raised the
objection that in this age of automo-
biles we need pavements wide enough
for frightened horses to pass the ma
chimes with wide room between. 1t
was also stated that in Waterloo some
of the narrower pavements are being
made wider owing to the growth of
the town, so it was decided to stick to
the thirty-foot width which now pre-
walls in Marshalltown.
Exceptions We're made, however. on
East North street, which was made
twenty feet wide because the street it.
self is SO narrow, and likewise on South
Twelfth street twenty-four feet was
the width adopted, while Thirteenth
street, from Main to the soldiers home,
will be ordered forty feet wide owing to
the street car line being in the center.
Property owners on South Fourth
street, West Church street, South Sixth
avenue, South Fourth avenue, Jerome
street, and South Third street had pc
titioned for a twenty-four- foot width.
The narrower pavement is endorsed
by many civil engineers and by engin-
eerlng magazines and was proposed by
Mr.. Kirby and others because the saw
ing of 20 per cent in the total cost Of
paving helps to get paving improve
ment down to cost which everybody
will be willing to pay in order to have
their streets paved, and would result
in paving an entire city within a very
few years, whereas at the prohibitive
cost of the past city can lay only a
small amount of paving every five
years or more and then it is done gen.
orally over the protests Of property
owners.
AS to the corner lot assessments the
council has decided to obey the spirit
of the law as laid down in supreme
court decisions in other states and as
virtually adopted in the decision OF the
Morgan case and will not attempt to
assess to the property owner more than
one-third the cost of a pavement rum
ming along the long side of a corner
lot which has already been paved in
front

THEFTs BREAK GRAIN FIRM.
Trick Of Eastern Agent Causes Loss Of
1877. 600


Chicago, May 2S.-The affairs of Du-
rant & Gilmore Company, grain opera
tors, with offices at 145 Van Buren,
street, Chicago, and Albany. N. Y, are
involved in financial difficulties to the
amount of more than $377,000 The
National Commercial Bank Of Albany
holds the concerns paper for 100000
and the First National Bank of the
same city for $4,000.
According to dispatch received from
Albany, Gibson Oliver, treasurer of the
company and in charge of the Albany
office, is said to have confessed to re-
sponsibility for irregularities in the
matter of warehouse receipts, by which
the concern was able to obtain money
from the banks without having the
grain represented by the receipts on
hand.
Oliver is said to have made full
confession of the affair to an attorney
and told all about the plan. The
scheme Is said to have been worked
thru the aid of an accomplice in the
office Of the Albany local freight agent
Of the Delaware and Hudson railroad.
Oliver, in his confession, is said to
have implicated Henry C. Palmer, a
Chicago employe Of the company, as an
accompIice.

WE have often talked
with you about value.
This time we have some
thing to say on Integrity.
Integrity of Purpose, of
Honor, is just as directly
applicable to clothes
as to character.
For many years we have
adhered unsWervingly to
the principle that Integrity
of Purpose and Honor
would eventually build up
a wide and steadfast trade.
That policy won out,---
our present host of friends
proves it.
Before we started in
the clothing business we
needed a clothing
manufacturer who believed
in our policy Of Integrity
and lived up to it. In this
way, and in no other, could
we carry out our ideas.
So we examined into the
policies Of every clothing
manufacturer known, and
chose without hesitation
Hart, Schaffner & Marx.
For years, without
deviation, have they
satisfied us in the Integrity
Of their product. We
have been able to talk to
our friends truthfully on
the Value and Integrity Of
these Hart, Schaffner &
Marx clothes.
Those who wear them
prove our StatementS---
and the Integrity of the
clothes we sell.
Come now,---and prove
them for yourself.

A Little Sick Friend

BY Helen Stourtts, Aged IL Years, Clarinda
Apartments, No 2, Omaha Neb. Red Side.
Mother, I'm going upstairs to see Nelly.
Is she any better?" said Ted
Darling, 1 don't know. l haven't seen
her mother today, and 1 know she would
be glad to see you before you CO."
So little Ted crept up the stairs to a
little window, where little child, laying
near it, looked out at the old buildings.
as that was about all she could see.
Hello there" was the first Nell heard
and, of course, knew who it was, and an
swered in a very weak voice as she had
heard him say: Say, Nell, I'm going to
the country, and when ! come back you'n
see something nice"
After Ted parted from his little friend
Nell had tears in her eyes and cried as II
her heart would break. When Ted reacA~ll
his mothers kitchen he, too, had tears in
his eyes
why, what is the matter? My darling,
do you not wish to go to the country"
oh yes, yes, mother, only 1 wish Nell
could 60"
This was too much for little Ted and he
burst out crying, but he soon stopped. as
it was time for him to go to the train
and he almost forgot his troubles
Two hours later he found himself in
his grandfather's arms.
well, hello! My boy, how are you?

The Copper Kettle

BY Edith Peterson Aged 10 Years, 26l5 Cass
Street, Omaha, Neb.
There was once upon time very old
woman. She was bent thin and very lone
some because she lived by herself This
old woman had a magic copper kettle. She
said that the first knd-hearted person she
found she would give them this kettle for
a gift
Then the old woman started on journey
She Travelled for miles but not one kind
hearted person did she find Every place
she went she would ask for something to
eat but the people would shut the door
on her. After travelling a long time she
saw an old house She walked up and
knocked at the door. A little girl came
and opened 1t. She asked for something 20
eat. The little girl said 81 am often very
hungry, but the little we have you may
come in and share with us. All we have
is bread and milk"
Then the old woman said. you may have
my copper kettle for a gift"
The woman said that this kettle would
supply her and the mother with food as
long as she lived. The girl never had to be
hungry again.

Pretty fine, aver Well, come along, or It
will be time to feed my chickens"
And so they started off toward a little
old farm. Before the horse was told 10
stop Ted was out. as he was too full OF
anxiety TO wait any longer
Now, come and get q pair OF overalls
on to wear around here" Ted followed
his grandpa into the house. After Ted
had finished dressing his grandpa took
him out TO feed the chickens, which Ted
enjoyed very much
After that Mr. Barlow. Ted's grand
father. showed him some little black chick
ems and turkeys-eight Of them.
Ted got some grass 10 take home TO
Nell. as Nell had never seen grass before.
That afternoon Ted had to go home.
When he reached home he ran in TO show
his mother the gifts he had made for Nell.
Ted wishes to keep the secret TO the
readers as well as Nell.
Ted crept up the ladder with the grass,
and his mother came with the rest Of
the surprise for our little friend, Nell
Nell's mother was starting out for her
days work and pulled the curtain aside, so
Nell could look out of the window and to
her surprise. she saw the gift which TED
had been keeping. Now the secret is
opened; II is a little play farm, with the
two chickens in 1t which were given TO
Ted.
Nell was very much pleased with It and
soon Ted was playing with Nell too
The next day a very cruel storm came
and spoiled the farm, and Nell let her
head drop out of the window and she got
very wet
When her mother came home she was
very exhausted from her work and, to
find her child all wet. made her worse.
The next day Nell went to sleep the best
sleep in the world.
Ted was very sad, and so he spent he
last cent he had in his bank for Nell to
get some flowers. and he put the chickens
by her and so we will say goodby to Nell,
as she has gone to the country.

Pinkey, weeping bitterly-for she knew he
must have taken her mothers most valu-

gan to look about her. Investigation
