MARTIN WEBER DEAD.
One-Time Resident of Crawford Coun.
ty Dies at Home Of His Daugh-
ter, Mrs. n. Mnter.

Mr.. Martin Weber, who was brought
from Harrington, Neb., about four
weeks ago, died at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Herman Minter, in this
city on last Friday. The funeral was
held Sunday at the Catholic church
and was largely attended. The Mill
taische Bruederschaft, Of which Mr.
Weber was member, attended in a
body. Mr.. Weber was about 6S years
Of age, and the cause of his death
was Bright's disease. He is survived
by his wife and a number of children.
He had been up until a few years
ago a resident of Crawford county,
living near Deloit, where he was we'll
known. Some years ago he removed
to Harrington, Neb., where he has
since made his home. Four weeks ago
he was brought to Denison by his wife
and taken to the home of his daugh-
ter, where everything possible was
done for his relief, but the dread dis
ease had taken such firm hold upon
the victim that death was inevitable.

if anything further was done our peo-
pie should be promptly and fully ad-
vised concerning it.
1t seems that after the Denison Of
fer was made Shenandoah increased
it's offer and proposed to turn over to
the state property of substantial value
and succeeded in having bill re-
ported favorably to the senate and
passed by that body before anyone
here became advised of what was
transpiring. Neither the representa-
tive from this county, nor our senator
saw fit to send word of what was
about to be done and the remarkable
thing is that Senator Grow voted in
favor of Shenandoah, giving the one
vote required for passing the bill.
Democrats and republicans alike were
astounded when the report came that
our senator had cast his vote in favor
of Shenandoah. We imagine it will
require the senator something of an
effort to explain his conduct to the
people of this county.
AS soon as word came of the action
of the senate on Saturday strong and
effective men from Denison took up
the work of undoing what had been
done, with the result that up to this
time the senate bill has not received
the approval of the house and at the
time of going to press the indications
are that location for the school will
not be made at this session.

against the defendant, but will do so
before the adjournment of court.
The next case tried was that of the
State of Iowa against Coppock,
charged with the crime of forgery.
The defendant seems to have been
rather free in signing other peoples
names to checks and other papers,
and failed to convince the jury that
his motive in so doing was legitimate
and in consequence verdict of guilty
was rendered against him. He will
probably be compelled to take trip
across the state and spend a season
in the penitentiary.
On Wednesday morning the case of
w. A. McHenry versus Frank Howorth
was put on trial before a jury and is
now being tried.

LON RANDALL GETS MARKET.
Trades His South Dakota Land to Sc
lander Bros. for Old Stand and
Has Taken Possession.

Lon Randall is again owner OF the
City Meat Market ON East Broadway
and is now in possession. He traded a
half-section of Hand county, S. d.,
in on the deal. The Selander Bros.
went to South Dakota last week and
looked at the land, and on returning
closed the bargain. Mr.. Randall gets
the building and the land south OF
town where the slaughter house
stands. In again engaging in the meat
business Mr.. Randall will inaugurate
a system that he has long had in
mind. He will abandon the custom
of delivering meat, do away with
bookkeeper and cashier, thus making
a great saving. This saving he IN
tends the customer to benefit by in
asmuch as he will be able to reduce
the price of meats. Everyone Will
call for their meat and take same with
them. This idea is being worked IN
Clinton by one concern and it is
claimed the customers are very much
taken up with the idea. The cost OF
maintaining delivery is considerable
in the course of a year, and if the con-
|sumer is given the benefit of the say
ing he will be satisfied.

The paving question is being rapidly
solved by the city council. On last
Wednesday night resolution of ne
cessity passed the council, which
covers number of streets of Deni-
son, embracing about thirty blocks in
all. The streets embraced in the reso-
luton are the principal business
streets Of the city, including Main
street, leading to the Northwestern
station, and Court street, leading to
the Illinois Central station. The fact
that the resolution mentions several
streets does not necessarily mean that
all of these streets will be paved this
in the future just what portion of the
streets embraced in the resolution Of
necessity will be paved. We have no
doubt but what the council will eXer-
else it's good Judgment in the selection
Of the streets to be paved as it has
in it's work up to this time. The dis
position of the council seems to be to
consult the wishes of the leading bus
mess interests of the city, and to de-
fer in measure to what, by common
consent. is regarded as the proper
thing to do under all circumstances.
On Monday night the council let
the contract of engineering to The
Consolidated Engineering company, of
Omaha, Neb. The impression pre-
walls that the arrangements made are
favorable to the city. The engineers
are we'll recommended and have con-
tracts in other localities in western
Iowa of similar character. The
price to be paid the engineer for doing
all the preliminary work is $4,000.
The contract further provides that 21%
per cent is to be paid on the contract
price of the paving, which may be
done. In case the per cent to be al
lowed on the price of the paving ex-
ceeds $4,000, then this amount is to
be deducted from the total amount
to be paid the engineers. This con-
tract on the face of it looks to be
favorable to the city, and is the best
proposition that was submitted by any
of the engineers. 1t is said there were
six or eight different engineering
firms bidding for the work.
The resolutions of necessity are be-
ing published in the city papers this
will be prepared to take definite action
