Councilman Wilmer L. Tilghman ,ons
of the prominent young business
men of Salisbury, was killed this
morning at the junction of the New

wheel. The engine passed over his
body, mangling it. The engine was
brought to stop as quickly as pos
sible and the body picked up and
laid upon the platform.

We NEED NEW PAVING.

The city commission has gone on
record in favor of considerable amount
of new paving for streets that already
have alleged paving and some that are
still free from that strain. The &C
tion is In accord with resolutions
adopted by the Commercial association
which brands our streets and the
roads leading into the city as a dis
grace. Without a doubt the first
Objectionable feature that strikes the
eye OF the newcomer to Ottumwa Is
the shameful condition of the streets.
They are a disgrace and 1t is to be
wondered at that Ottumwa Is not her
aided throughout the state as 1.-THE
city that has no paving worthy Of the
name"
The commission has taken the right
step in the right direction. Every
body knows that there Is a crying need
for new paving. SO let there be no de-
lay. Every day that passes brings us
closer to the time when it will be i'm.
possible to do the work until next year.
There will be no valid excuse for this.
With no open opposition. the commits
sion should be in shape to let con-
tract in az short time as the laws
viii permit. The point is that the
council should proceed at once with
this paving matter.

HAMMOCKS.

The hammock is an uneasy imita-
ton of folding bed in which a man
can sleep with perfect comfort If he
does not object to being doubled up in
the form of horseshoe. Hammocks
have become quite popular as porch
ornament and as such are very Of
fective, especially when occupied by
somebody who Is trying to make love
with his backbone tied in bow knot.
The hammock is a Spanish inven-
ton. The Spanish people do not be-
lfeve in overwork and have to have
some place where they can rest about
ten hours day without being stabbed
by the native tarantula. Travellers who
have been in Spain say 1t is pleasing
sight to see discontinued member

in q hammock with both knees tucked
securely under his lower lip and his
mouth slightly ajar.
Hammocks are always taken ON a
picnic tn order to provide harmless
form of exercise for people who do not
care to sit on the ground and contract
cold in the head. For some inscrut-
able reason, no two people Of the same
height and weight ever attempt to

If his companion arises to hunt third
