At the present time the city Is in
an unsettled condition On account of
the street grading that is being cou-

little use In installing new sidewalks
at present as they would only have to
be torn up Ia Gaze the grading is
done. The matter stands that the
grading should be done rs soon as
possible or at least the streets grades

Complicated Case
In Justice Court
". L. GuieSt Tries TO Find Who is
Going TO Pay

A somewhat complicated civil case
was tried in Judge Schulte's court
last week.
When the Interstate Telephone
company built their new Office here
the work was done by J. W. Goddard
under contract. Under his contract
be was to put in certain plumbing
and connect up with the Fourth street
sewer This was doue. the plumbing
and connecting up with the sewer be-
ing done by W. l.. Guiest Goddard
paid him for this work and took his
receipt in full.
After this WIS completed, it was
found that surface water stood 10 a
small basement and the company
wished q change made in the oonnec-
tions so as to drain this and to con.
meet up with the Fourth street sewer.
Guiest also did this work and has
never been paid for it as Goddard and
the company could not agree as to
which should pay for it. The com
pany claimed that they did some wir-
ing in the building that belonged for
Goddard to do and that in turn he
was to pay for connecting to the
Front street sewer. the company tc
the digging. Goddard claimed
that be had nothing TO do with CON
Meeting to that sewer and denied any
conversation or agreement as claimed
by the company. Guiest did not know
lJho he was working for, but had per
lfoEa6ed the work and bad never re
celved his pay aud so sued both God
dard and the Interstate Telephone

Stores TO Close

The merchants of the city have
come to an agreement by which

ago the proposition wss put up by
some OF the business men Of the city
Who thought that from seven in the

evening was long enough to keep the
stores open, and the plan Of closing
Was tried out. It did not work salts
iacorily at that time on eoount Of the
fact that all of the merchants did not
agree to the plan, aud so 10 a short
time all we're again open evenings.
During the pRst week q united effort
has been made to get all the mer
chants TO co-opera,e in the plan and
It seems that THE time the plan will
be successful.
AS ia other cities. the closing oi
the stores evenings excepting Satur
days, has worked out ell right. It ap'
pears that the same is possible here,
be only difficulty being In gettinl
the people accustomed to the chang'
so that they will not put of theil
