improving Gilbert Road.

People who have occasion to
travel the Virginia-Gilbert road on
dry Sundays and after hours aver
that the highway has been put in
excellent shape with the exception
of short stretch just as one enters
the village of Gilbert. The condi-
ton of this piece of road has been
brought to the attention of the
township authorities, and ii is hop
ed may be remedied shortly. The
traffic between the two points is
voluminous, and with the improve
ment of the shortcut highway will
become more so, to the natural ad-
vantage of Virginia merchants and
Virginia business men.

While the work being done under
the supervision of the Park Board
has wrought many changes in var
ious parts of the city, in no place
has the improved appearance. been
more pronounced than at the city
hall plot, where neatly arranged
flower beds and an embryo lawn at.
tests the tact that little intelligent
work and a passing regard for
scenic effect will tend to beautify
the most barren. spot on earth.

GARBAGE INCiNERAT0R ASSURED

Board Of Health Will Visit Plants and
Make Recommendations.
The disposition of the city's garb-
age has become question of more
than passing import, made more
acute by the rapid extension of the
residence districts and the inability
to secure suitably located dumping
grounds, causing instructions to be
issued to the board of health some
weeks ago to look up incinerator
plants and make recommendations
Such report was submitted Tuesday
evening, recommendation for the
purchase of a suitable plant being
made, and the board of health was
delegated as committee to inspect
various plants in operation and
make further report at the next
meeting. The location Of the pro-
posed plant will also be lett for rec
ommendation to the same commit
tee.
Another point of importance be-
fore the meeting was recommend
alton by Alderman E. c. A. Johnson
that in future all sidewalks demand
ing reconstruction be replaced with
concrete. This recommendation
met with unanimous approval and
the attorney was instructed to pre-.
pare resolution covering the point
for presentation at the next meet
ing.
Specifications for sanitary sewers
in Districts 81 and 81 were submit
ted by the engineer. These districts
cover the southern edge of the city:
and plans will be made for the in
stallation of the improvement later
in the season.
An ordinance relating to parks
and parkways and an ordinance for
the prevention of cruelty to animals
received their second reading, the
former being subjected to slight al
terations and amendments.
Plans and specifications for ce.
ment curb and gutter on Central
between Poplar and Sage were sub.
mitted, and bids fur such improve.
ment were ordered called.
Accommodation by Chief Thay-
er called for the installation of a
hydrant at the corner of Maple and
Central, and a resolution ordering
the same will be presented Tuesday
evening next.
An arc light was ordered placed
at the corner of Pine and Wyoming,
sidewalks were ordered built on
the west side of Wyoming between
Elm and Oak streets and on Hick-
ory street between Mesaba and X. K.
avenues, while other matters of mi
nor importance assisted in enliveu.

SUFFERS BIG FIRE LOSS
Home and Barns Of ]. P. Rooney VIM
ed Out by Flames Yesterday.

Fire of unknown origin starting
in the stables of 7. P. Rooney short
ly after the noon hour Yesterday re-
suited in Ithe biggest fire loss re-
corded in the city since 1900, wiping
out the stables and sheds together
with the contents in their entirety
and destroying the home.
When first discovered the fire had
gained considerable headway, pre-
cluding all possibility of saving
anything in the building, a valua-
bic team perishing in the stalls.
The fire department worked dill
gently in getting to the scene, but
the necessity of laying hose from
the corner of Birch street and the
further delay caused by the neces-
sity of carrying hose from the Will
low to Birch street corners owing
to the impossible condition of the
Boulevard at this point retarded all
attempts at haste and before the ar
rival of the department the flames
had communicated to an adjoining
hay barn and to the home, and with
the high wind blowing at the time
threatened the destruction of the
entire row of homes fronting on
Crescent avenue, but this danger
was averted by the arrival of the
engine, three streams confining the
fire to the Rooney property.
In conversation with Mr.. Rooney
he states that it would be impossi-
ble to estimate his loss, as aside
from the buildings and team there
was destroyed some two or three
cars of hay, car of oats, complete
camp outfit for one hundred and
fifty men and a great amount of
tools, bringing the personal prop.
erty loss into the thousands.
A total insurance of some 5000
will tend to alleviate the loss to an
extent, although this amount is but
small percentage of the total.
This is the second time Mr.. Room.
ey has been wiped out since coming
to the city, being caught in the big
Virginia fire of '93, and the deserved
sympathy of all is extended himself
and family in their loss.

MEMORIAL DAY f,1nN6lY OBSERVED.
Two Thousand School Children IN Par
ade and Business Closed to Do
Honor to the Veterans
Memory.

Memory.
Through the efforts of Supt. Bliss,
of the City Schools, Memorial Day
was most fttingly observed in this
city by a parade in which upwards
of two thousand school children
participated, and by appropriate
evening exercises at the Auditorium
in the evening.
The parade formed at the Roose.
velt at 1000 o'clock, including good
ly representation from every school
in the district, and headed by Misses
Bertha Smith and Minnie Eaton
mounted on horseback, Comrades
Henderson and H. J. Eaton, both
veterans of the Wisconsin militia,
and the City Band, marched east
on Spruce to Mesaba, north to
Chestnut, west to Central and south
on Central to the point of begin
ming, the children carrying flags,
evergreens and banners, while one
point worthy of special note was
the:battallion bearing wooden guns,
manufactured by the boys in the
manual training department of the
schools the previous Friday.
The evening exercises at the
Auditorium were attended by a
throng, the address by Rev. Powers
being a most patriotic effort and
eliciting high praise, while a
stereopticon lecture by Supt. Bliss
in which many war views were ex-
hibited, patriotic songs by the
scholars and pleasing musical
numbers assisting in rounding out
an appreciable program.
There are but few VETERANS of the
civil war on the ranges. but such
honor is appreciated by them and
cannot but tend to infuse a spirit of
patriotism in the minds of the rie-
ing generation which insures a per-
petuity of those principles of free
dom and equal rights to all upon
which our government is founded.

of the interior of the Office to more

OPTION TO BE ISSUE
IN HOOSIER STATE
County Conventions All Send
Instructed Delegates.

Indianapolis. March 27-Complete reports
from Republican county conventions held
Yesterday to select delegates to the State
convention indicate that the Republicans
of the dry counties will insist on the In
dorsement of the local option law by the
state convention. and thus make that
question an issue In the campaign. In
several counties which have voted dry
within the last year the local option and
anh-option forces made a test OF strength,
and in every instance the local opue.;
men won.
George Lockwood editor of the Marion
Chronicle, and once private secretary to
Vice President Fairbanks. led the local
option forces In Grant County, and was
elected as delegate. He is pledged to
offer a resolution at the State convention
next week committing the party to sus-
tain the law.
In Shelby County the convention refused
to indorse Representative Barnard, of the
Sixth district, who recently allied himself
with the insurgents in the fight against
Cannon. District Chairman Bassett tried
to force through a resolution indorsins
Barnard and instructing the delegates for
him. but It was defeated, and the dele
gates were left free to vote for some one
else.
Republican leaders as a rule are op-
posed to a local option issue. but many
Of the conventions instructed their dele
gates to vote for resolutions indorsing the
law, and the question viii be a prom
inent and possibly an embarrassing one
at the convention.

BOARDWALK CROWD
BREAK OLD RECORD FOR
ATTENDANCE AND COLORs

Atlantic City, N. J.. March A-There
were more than 10000 promenaders on
the Boardwalk at noon to-day. Five
thousand rolling chairs formed two solid
lines from the Inlet TO Chelsea, while the
overflow gave the Strand the appearance
OF midsummer. The temperature mounted
into the 70s under perfect. clear skies.
and scores OF bathers took dips in the
surf.
Nothing like the flood Of travel had
ever been seen at this resort. Forty long
trains came IN over the Pennsylvania
system alone, and for the first time in
the history Of the city the full compile
ment of visitors from New York and
Philadelphia had not been delivered when
the homeward bound started the scram-
bic for seats In outgoing sections, which
were run tonight without regard TO
schedule and less than fifteen minutes
apart
Weather conditions were the best
known on Easter days for ten years past.
Brilliant sunshine. with a stirring SOUTH
erly breeze, started the Boardwalk pag-
cant before 10 o'clock.
Visitors regretfully snatehed minutes
from their parade to eat, and lstecomers
protested when informed by employees of
big hotels that they could not get table
places. Dinner parties were forced back
10 quick-lunch places. whose owners
reaped an unexpected harvest. Small
hotels and boarding-houses were filled
to their roofs last night. while every
desirable room vacated by home-bound
persons this evening has been snatched
up by patiently waiting newcomers.
The crowd that turned out around
noon was lavishly gowned and suited.
Flower hats gave the Boardwalk the
appearance OF an elongated garden, while
vests and cravats Of the men added an
other collective sploteh Of color to the
turnout Wraps Of all sorts were laid
aside throughout the day.
The presence Of several hundred coll
lege men for the Yale-Pennsylvania
game added enough to the great Board
walk population 10 give men the major
ity over women In numbers for the first
time ever known.
Nearly 800 automobiles came in during
the night and to-day.
