Neglected Second
 Avenue to be Paved

The paving of Second street came in for much notice before the city council this week, with the result that that long neglected stretch of mire that has been the terror of teamsters for year will at last come into it's own allot- ment of slabs or brush.
 Bids are being called for by the council for the delivery of slabs or brush on Second at Bonanza, Richmond and Willow streets, for it has been decided to lay a roadway from the courthouse to Willow at present, and as soon as possible to extend the ends to Otter and Black. Following the delivery of the material decided upon, arrangements will be made to lay the brush by those who wish to work out their poll-tax.
 F. A. Cleveland appeared before the council Thursday night and offered to furnish slabs for the work at S9 load This figure looked too high and on ac- count of the fact that number of power boats and barges will be idle for day or two, the council conceived the idea of calling for bids on brush |, since it ought to be a comparatively easy matter to bring it down the river.
 Following the laying of brush, it is to be covered with moss and muck, and according to experience in this coun- try, should make an excellent roadway.
 The bids asked for contemplate a roadway 14 feet in width, and the bid der must take in mind that he can use poll-tax labor in the delivery. Laid upon the ground, the city will take charge and do the rest.

PIsassr saIaaa Back In Splendid Quarters

Last Wednesday Ramps Peter. son moved his Pioneer saloon back to the old home from whence he was burned out on the 4th of April by the disastrous conaagration that took whole block of the city. The place would not be recognized now as it is much larger and 6ner. and the fittings have been put in with much taste and artistic dis. cerument.
 The saloon now occupies the eastern portion of tue building in- stead of the opposite side as for merly. and tue western side is oc- cupied by the Jenks & Umphrey barber shop. The second story is being made ready for the Iditarod Club which will soon move from the M. & M. bank building.

That Opening Ball
 Will AStOnish Elm

Just about the time the town is full of guests and the city is hum ming with the industry of new life that new A. B. hall will be thrown open for one grand time. There will be no cute frills or fancy work ;- it will just open wide with huge gesture of welcome and gather to its bosom all the pleasure loving folk of this town, camp or district.
 The matter was gone into thoroughly at the meeting of ihe Arctic Brotherhood held last Mon- day night, and 1t was unanimously decided that an effort should be made to eclipse any previous ball ever pulled of ill this perfectly good country. It should mark the spring rejoicing that life and prosperity have come again, and it should also commemorate the fact that the Idit- arod A. B's have a hall that is eclipsed by none ill the country.
 Under the srperintendency of J. E. Bishop the work has been pro- gressing rapidly and the huge walls have gone up as if by magic. There is no question but what the hall will be ready in time for the ball, and ill fact, it will be finished much sooner
 The plans for the dance were dis cussed from every angle, and the following committees were appoin- ted to look into arrangements and to take care of the guests on the eventful night.

I0DGE GOAT TO GU.

Wise in their day and generation

II took some hard fighting 10 oe''
down the element opposing the goat

wears for them to win, but success al
last has attended their efforts.
Now that precedent has been broken

o,ber secret orders viii! follow the
example Of the Elks. The goat mas
op,liyed his day in such ceremonies
,boueht he still fourishes as . inquire

In metaphorical capacity he is
harmless and useful, and commands a
degree OF respect.
Bible readers will recall. in tins con-

race 50 the modern figure OF speech

But the goat" as an accessory 70

times o'erleaped himself and nro"Rn'
disfayor on those who encourageo ms
activities. Frequently, too, he mas
lost his sense of decorum and more
than once he has played too hard TO
snit the ideas Of those undergoing !"

While we feel some dithdence III

ne believe that thorough canvass OF
popular sentiment will show that a

Yes, we are glad they have put

MOTHER MYSTERIOUS DEATH.

At the foot of the big mountain
across Jackson river from Clifton Forge
and within a few hundred yards Of the
corporate limits Of the city the body OF
Dola Nicely, young woman, was
yesterday found with two bullet wounds
in the back Of her head From the
best information obtainable the woman
met her death between and I O'Clock
yesterday morning, but whether By her
own hands or by the acts OF someone
else remains to be shown.
Shortly after the finding of the body
a warrant was sworn out by the authori-
ties of Allegheny county, and Edward
Hall, 20 years old, was placed under
arrest and is now in Jail in Covipgton.
The coroner's jury was undecided rs to
where to place the blame. The pistol
used was in Halls possession.
A year or two ago the eldest sister OF
the deceased committed suicide, and
the victim OF yesterdays tragedy at
tempted MOI long ago to take her life
by drinking carbolic acid. Hall says
that he and the woman agreed to COM
NIT suicide by hanging and had pro-
cured the rope, but that their original
plans miScarred, and the girl used the
pistol.
Physicians who saw the body say the
girl could not herself have inflicted the
wounds i'll the back ofthe head. When
discovered the woman was on the
ground with her arms folded carefully
across her breast.
Hall was found in bed in his home,
and his mother tainted when the Off
GERS arrested him. He did not resist
arrest and treats the affair lightly.
This was the second young woman
to meet systerious death IN Clifton
Forge in the last month.
