HELD BRIEF SESSION
City Dads Held u~nevensFul Session
Last Evening Which Lasted
Less Than an Hour.

It vas with considerable dispatch
that the city fathers attended to the
routine business at hand last night at
the BRIEF session of the city council
which lasted less than an hour. Fol-
lowing the allowance Of a lot of esti-
mates amounting to 300 in all, plans
for water mains on First avenue south
were approved and city Engineer
Anders was authorized to submit plans
and specifications for water mains and
sewer pipes for Third avenue north
and Tenth street, all of which are TO
be laid prior to the paving OF those
thoroughfares.
Perhaps the biggest estimate allowed
during the evening was one on the
pumping station granted James Ken
nedy, amounting to $7,T20. A general
discussion followed concerning the lay
ing of sidewalks on private property
in the Seventh ward, where It is said,
that In some instances sidewalks have
been laid as much as four feet in on
private property instead OF following
the regular course it should. The mat
ter was referred to the aldermen from
the Seventh ward, who will investigate
and report at the next meeting.

IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

John J.. Feckler, the general secre-
ltary of the Pioneer Life Insurance Co..
or this city, say that naturally appii-
cants for insurance may be expected
to put as good a face as possible on the
reports concerning relatives and the
cause OF their deaths, but they some
times make gather amusing state
ments.
In his dealings with the applicants
for insurance he has had sone queer
experiences.
"One time I was trying to insure q
young man, and / had just about talk
ed an arm of, and succeeded In getting
him to consent to be written up.1
Here Is some Of the family history he
gave me-" said Mr.. Feckler.
Mother died in infancy, ana father
went to bed feeling all right, but next
morning woke up dead in bed
Then another young woman who
was giving her grandmother a good
send off said: Grandmother died sud-
denly at the age of 100 years. Up to
this time she bade fair to reach a ripe
old age
"one Of our agents some time ago
sent in the following:
Applicant does not know cause OF
mothers age, but says that she recov-
cred from her last illness, and appli-

Then another n who was wanting

a child and mothers last illness was
chronic rheumatism, but she was cur
ed before death, and father died sud-
denly, nothing serious"
s. S. Franklin and B. H. Taylor of
Edmonton, Alberta, were guests at the
Waldorf yesterday, being in the city

have been away from home for a few
days. said Mr.. Franklin in the hotel
lobby yesterday afternoon, "and we
were very much pleased with what we
saw on the way coming here, for never
have | seen the crops throughout
North Dakota looking better. In fact,
! can say the same thing of our section
OF the country as well, and we expect
ed to have a very big harvest. There
is a great deal of building going on In
our town Just now and there are sew.
eral contractors from the states find
ing plenty to do there. / don't believe
there is any town in North Dakota
that ever grew SO rapidly as is ed
monitor doing just now. The class of
buildings that are going up are sure
to make a rafting good town or rather
city, for Edmonton has outgrown the
town class, and is now a full f1edsad
city with all the improvements OF one"
DR.. Fl. r. Huntley CT the town of
Leonard, this county, was a visitor to
the city yesterday, being in town on
Professional business. After the had
dinner at the Waldorf he said that the
crops in his section of the county
could not be improved upon and that
he couldn't see how anything could
damage them to n great extent at
, c present time. I'VE are look = for
the biggest kind of a harvest said he.

pointed. The general health in our

at Shiloh
| do not know what that last remark
had to do with the story. but the
speaker omits no interesting details.
He continued:
"A fellow named Tom Peters got full
of those bitters and went after Per
kins with a bowie knife. Perkins shot
him with one barreled pistol. which
had been made by blacksmith. They
had a trial, and i ran away from
school to see it.
Proctor Knott sent down to Spring
field and got meal bag full of law
books-frst had ever seen.
During the trial an old doctor about
three fourths full of whisky was called
to testify as to whether Peters would
get well. The doctor said he would.
that he'd get as fat as a butter ball.
that he'd die in three years, but before
he died he'd turn green, because he
had been shot through the liver. It
was the first time I ever knew that
man had liver. -- ....

He did get as fat as butter ball. He
started for California and died in the
Rockies in just about three years.
