evening this spirit manifested itself
frequently when street improvement
matters were brought up.
Mayor Zimmerman holds that the

issue.
Evans Offers Advice.
After he had completed the reading
Of the paper Councilman Evans OF the
Second ward addressed the chair and
said that he thought council was spend
ing too much time talking about what
the democrats had done. He advised
the present administration to talk
about what 1t is going to do.
In the matter Of the improvement OF
North Fifth street from Main to D,
councilmen again expressed dissatis-
faction.
An ordinance proposing the construc-
tion of cement sidewalks, curbs and
cutters on both sides Of the street
was up for third reading. Council was
informed that It would be useless to
pass the ordinance, because the prop
erty owners could not be compelled to
pay the assessments for the improve
ment This was due to q technicality
OF the law and councilmen were much
displeased because 1t had not been ex-
planned before. According to the law
the ordinance should have been passed
within sixty days after remonstrance
had been fled when the matter was be-
fore the board Of works. The ortiin-
ance was before the board last fall.
Councilmen said that they had never
been informed that council could not
pass an ordinance effecting street i'm
provement without the measure COM
ing from the board Of works. Council
man Evans said that he would see
that . petition was presented to the
board for the Improvement OF the
street and that council would attend to
the matter In conformity with the law.
Clashes With the Mayor.
Upton A. Dafber. q resident Of North
Fifth street who wants the improve
ment made. and who has been q regu-
lar attendant at the council sessions
for the last four meetings, addressed
Mayor Zimmerman. The two engaged
in . heated argument over the i'm
provement Of the street.
Mayor Zimmerman and council did
agree on the matter Of removing ex-
press wagons and moving vans from
the streets. Mayor Zimmerman be-
lieves that either . public hitching
place should be established or the ex-
pressmen BE- compelled to take up
stands On South Third and Fourth
streets. adjacent to the court house

Pope Immediately retired to his pri-
vate chapel to pray for the people Of
the affected district.
Special services were held in the
churches at Rome.
King Victor Emmanuel directed that
all Information be taken to him i'm
mediately on its receipt. Both the
king and the queen were greatly af-
fected by the disaster. Premier LUZ

Chicago, June 7.-Judge Kickham

COUNTY COURT
VISITS JASPER.
Judges Investigate Requests for
Bridges over Postum and
North Fork.

Judges Dykeman, Dixon and
Wright of the county court were
the guests of Jasper yesterday, the
occasion of their visit being the in
vestigation of the much agitated
necessity for bridges across Pos
sum creek and North Fork, con-
Meeting Jasper with the rural dis
tricts southwest of here. These
bridges, especially the one over
North Fork, are badly needed,
and the farmers down the other
side of the river have demanded it
until they have lost all patience in
the matter. but despite promises
by two or three county courts it
has never been built. The two
bridges would give the town a
very much enlarged trade territory
and would doubtless mean another
rural mail route from this post
office. 1t would also mean much
to the farmers concerned, who in
the commonest sort of bad Wea-
ther are forced to do their trading

WELL-KNOWN FARMER
EXPIRED SUDDENLY.
Jrcob R. Cunning Succumbed to
Acute Rheumatism Last
Saturday.

Jacob r. Cunning, well known
Jasper farmer, died last Saturday
at his home five miles west of here,
where he had lived for ten years
past. His death, which occurred
at about nine o'clock in the evening,
was due to acute rheumatic fever.
He had been a sufferer from rheu-
matism for some time and of late
his condition had been much worse.
Saturday afternoon, while his wife
and daughter we're shopping in
Jasper they were notified by a
phone call from the farm of sud
den change for the worse in his
condition and hurried home to find
him dying. The utmost efforts of
a physician only succeeded in pro-
longing his life to the hour stated
above.
The body was taken on Tuesday
to Schell City, Mo-, the former
home of the deceased, for burial
The family, we understand will
leave the farm and move to Jasper.
Deceased is survived by his wife,
two sons, Arch and Keith, and two
daughters, Pearl and Aleta.
The Cummings came here in 1900
from Nevada. Mr.. Cunning was a
man of admirable traits and could
count practically the whole coun-
tryside as his friends. He will be
greatly missed in the community
where he made his home.

instead of coming to Jasper.
The court didn't commit itself to
any action further than the taking
of the matter under advisement.
They stated that the bridge fund
is depleted and immediate action
hampered thereby. This probably
means no bridge for the present,
though it may have meant merely
that the court didn't want to bind
itself with any promises. All three
judges admitted the need of the
bridges.
