RETREAT OF A PHILOSOPHER
AVignon, the City of ExiIed Popes,
Was the Homo Of John
Stuart Mill.

Avignon, the city of the exiled popes,
was en- fete on Sunday, when bust
was unveiled in the gardens of the
cottage of John Stuart Mill. 1t was at
Avignon that the philosopher So
journed after his defeat at the polls
at Westminster. 1t was there that he
did much Of the writing which has
made his name immortal. There he
spent the happiest seven years of
his life after his marriage to Mrs.
Taylor, and there he died. TIE French
people delight to honor true greatness,
and the people of Avignon are proud
Of their city's association with the son
of the philosophic historian of India,
Che author of "Utilitarianism."
After Mrs. Mills death Miss Helen
Taylor, her stepdaughter, was Mills
constant companion at Avignon. There
the philosopher wrote to his friends
high encomiums of Miss Taylor-'T
am in clover" She is described as
the architect and the master mason
all in one" Of the additions to the cot
tage, where she had designed the her
barium" (for Mill was a keen botan-
ist) and the "vibraory." Another at
traction to Mill was the "semi-circum-
gyratory," as he termed the terraces
going round two sides Of the dwelling.
1t was in 1858 that Mill and his wife
went to Ayignon to stay for a year,
but Mrs. Mills sudden death changed
her husbands plans, and for about
fourteen years he passed his grief with
his books, just leaving the grounds to
visit his wife's grave, surrounded by
sombres cypress" In this little earth
ly paradise he wrote that he found
that enjoyment necessary to his ex-
istence which the house of commons
did not offer.-London Globe.

MORE ABOUT BASE BALL.

Although not much time had been
spent until Friday evening soliciting
funds, yet the members were enthus-
iastic in there report to the meeting,
giving hopes that the club will be
better financed than any former club
had been.
The following board of directors
was elected: w. A. Paff, r. E. Hoch-
tyitt, e. G. Kretlow, G. G. Yawkey,
~ L. Kreutzer, f. p Regner and NJ.
A. Olson. A meeting of these direc-
tors will be held this evening to elect
the officers, and also to receive re-
ports on several sites for ball park.
The site most favorably considered is
one located in the northern part of
the city, and it is very likely that
the new ball grounds will be in that
section.
The fact that WauSau has secured
place in the Wis.-Ill. league has
stirred up quite Lot Of tax Il iFp aa some
especially in Rockford and Aurora,
as these had been boosting for Elgin
to be admitted to the league. A dis
patch from the latter city under date
of last Saturday says:
Local baseball fans are indignant
over what they allege was the unfair
action of President Charles L. Mol
of the Wisconsin-Illinois league in
permitting the posting of forfeit by
Wausau, Wis, for representation in
the circuit
The announcement that Wausau
had been permitted to put up its
money for franchise was made at
meeting of fans here last night.
WauSau and Elgin were being con-
sidered for membership in the league,
and it was understood that Wausau's
opportunity to get in ended last week.
The forfeit money was posted yes
terday. Local fans have sufficient
funds to insure the success of a team,
and are waiting action by the league
management on the question of
whether Elgin or Wausau is to be
given recognition"
The following item on the subject
is taken from the Sunday Sentinel:
According to Charles E. Moll.
president of the WI. league, Elgin
fans have no reason whatsoever to be
sore at him for the fact that Wausau
was added to the league circuit in
place of Elgin.
"Wausau and EIgin, after it was
announced that Fond du Lac desired
TO withdraw its franchise, were con-
sidered most favorable as successors,
but even before Wausau became a
party in the deal Elgin was given the
preference and the Elgin promoters
were accorded three long months TO
consider the proposition. Repeated
inquiries from both Mol. the board
OF directors, and from Fondie officials
ELECTED no replies, and only when no
answer was received from the Iili-
nois people was Wausau approached.
THE Wisconsin city lived up to
every promise made They considered
the matter in a buSineSSlike way,
agreed to buy the franchise and let
the league president know on GER
tain day if the deal could be consum-
mated. This was done and check for
the forfeit mailed, closing up the
matter.
IF the Elgin fans. according to
Mol, want to vent their anger and |
disappointment on any one, they are

The committee on streets and pub
lie property reported to the council
that they are progressing with the
work of the new we'll which they are
digging to furnish water for street
sprinkling purposes; that they had
already reached a sufficient flow of
water and would go no deeper at the
present, waiting until the dry season
comes on. and then if the we'll should
show depreciation in the flow, to dig
deeper. This committee also made
its report as to the work they had
already preformed in the grading of
the stretes and reported the grading
of the north end of Main to the
bridge, the street leading to the depot
and beyond and Chase street out to
beyond the property of Arthur Smith,
They will not likely proceed with any
work on other streets at this time, as
they fear it may turn little too dry
to do q successful job.
Councilman Currin is keeping the
matter of hard-Aurfacing alive in the
council, and does not fail to have
something Of note to offer on the sub
ject at each meeting.
AS stated before in these columns
the council is fully wise to the fact
that such work as has been done is
only of a temporary nature, and just
as fast as they can get shaped up to
do so, they will undertake the work
of hard-surfacing the principal streets
of the town. to say nothing of the
other streets that will receive their
in due course of time.
A motion was made and carried
that the city construct 80 900 gallon
reservoir of concrete for the holding
of water for street sprinkling pur-
poses. The site for this reservoir has
not yet been chosen, but the commit
tee on streets and public property are
to arrange for this and
secule a suitable location somewhere
in the vicinity of the power house.
Upon motion, the same committee
was empowered to Immediately locate
pipe line, secure right of way for
same, and ascertain the size of pipe
required and order the same in suffi-
cieut quantity to connect the we'll
with the reservoir, and also to adver-
ise for bids for building reservoir
and digging ditch.
The committee on fire and water
was instructed to sec to the extending
lf the water main on Alkali street for
distance of at least three hundred feet
and have a hydrant put in.
It seems that an order was entered up
noIe than a year ago to have this done
Ind it is understood that the water
company agreed to do it but the job |
'emains undone. This is necessary
