er dark and disagraeable outdoors,
several of our city dads, headed by
Mayor Lamet, made tour OF lnspec-
ton through the southern and eastern
part of town. 1t was for the purpose
to ascertain whether or not the com
plants made by citizens resting IN
those parts and by others, were we'll
founded, and lights should be put at
once wherever needed Some oil these
streets In those parts of town, al
though at present but thinly settled,
will ere long become very important,
and the quicker they are we'll sup

ments the sooner they will be lined
with new homes. Since the above
was written many Of the needed street
lights have been erected.
A few years ago the late VIM. 3.
Curtiss, at that time travelling cores
pondent for big Chicago daily paper,
wrote from Germany several long and
! interesting letters, describing the up
building of new parts of cities and
| towns there and In other parts of the
old world. Among other things he
] said that first the streets were laid
out properly an0l at once suppl I'D
with all modern improvements, water
mains, gas pipes, electric wires. etc,
] before anyone could obtain permission
to build. And after Streets had thus
! been prepared and made attractive.
they were thickly settled In an in
credulous short time. From this. the
correspondent added, many of the
| city dads" in the United States could
learn an important lesson. 1t certin-
ly costs money; and lots of It, but 1t
is wise and good policy. And If the
city authorities of the old world find
ways and means to do such things,
why cannot we do it? We boast OF
being the rich est nation on earth, AMI
we are, and claim to be at least as
wise as the people of other nations
but in building UP our cities and
4 towns we show certainly Meth er
I wealth nor wisdom. The trouble is.
every city and town has too many
I drones, they like the honey we'll
enough, but are too self1eh and too
lazy to help gather it. A little more
} wide-awake and above all, unselfish
spirit could accomplish wonders, es-
!, pecially in the cities and towns in
, close proximity of the great dim. If
the money taken in by general taxa
ton is insufficient to accomplish
) much,-what hinders those wsll-to-dc

notified, but he became suspicious be-
fore they arrived and left the store,
followed by Leroy r. Lotion. who
had sold the coat.
The man fed down Fourth street
with a large crowd in pursuit, but
escaped before he was captured.
Evidently he ran to Johnson, then up
to an alley on Third street, passing
in the rear entrance of the Windsor
Hotel where he had been stopping.
Chief Kenney and other officers
had secured an accurate description
OF the man and we're working on the
case. At about ZOO o'clock he was
seen by Officers Shepard and Fields
when he entered the pool room at
the Grand Hotel. The officers enter
ed the place and placed the man UNI
der arrest. When taken to the sta
ton the overcoat and $3.50 were re
covered from his person. He had
pawned the watch for the $3.50.

The name of F. G. Brandt He stated

but few days before from Seattle.
He is 81 years old, about 5 feet 10
inches tall. has smooth face and

cities No information has been filed
against him as yet, but will be on
