liquor license from E. J. Anderson to
Chas. Bergquist was voted on, all pres
ent voting yea.
The street commission was authoized
to grade Third street south between
Fourth and Fifth avenues. This street
is in very bad condition, being a
sort of a mud hole.
The street commissioner was given
instructions to have the brick offered
by o. Duclos hauled and put on Broad
way: The crushed brick which was put
on Broadway in former years has made
a great improvement over that piece of
road just west Of the bridge.
Alderman Hall mentioned the fact
that T. G.. Gordon had spoken to him
in behalf Of the board of education
about selling an acre of the school land
in the eastern part of the city to the
city, the clay Of which would be used
on roads. This land is very rich in clay
and gravel mixed and the clay extends
down to about eight feet. This is the
closest to the city of any available
clay soil. The proposition will be in.

husband Samuel, were on hand. NJ. j.
Kennedy, leader OF the DR.. Brown
faction, called up the police to quell

seems to be very much at outs with
the DENTS and lawyer. Both have
been chosen delegates to the Ma
tional Convention Of the party which
will meet in Indianapolis on May
18th rrox. The lawyer may feel
compelled to employ a body guard on
his journey, because Mrs. Sadler is
formidable in some ways. Brown
and Kate accuse each other of being
politicians, and both may be correct.
