along that avenue. The petition was
received and referred to the sewer
committee.
City Solicitor Rooms reported that
no assessments have yet been made
against the Breeze and Henegan prop
critics on North Mckenzie street. 1t
was reported last week that mis-
take was made in computing the foot
frontage of these two properties.
Mr.. Hookway of the special com
mittee appointed to ascertain the cost
of remodeling the X. of p. armory
building, now owned by the city, into
a modern fire station, and the cost OF
constructing a new station, reported
Monday night that his committee has
been unable to learn anything definite
and asked for a weeks continuance
in time, which was granted.
Mr.. Brentlinger presented plat
of the proposed Sunset addition. 1t is
located between Mulberry and San
dusky streets and comprises what is
known as "Trimble's Grove" The
owners of this ground have expressed
desire to divide this property into
building lots and have offered to ded-
icate the streets and alleys to the city,
providing that the council will accept
it as an addition. The plat was re-
ferred to the street committee.
Mr.. Hookway suggested that coun-
Gil build a circular paved driveway
through Mound View cemetery from
the Main street entrance to the Gay
street entrance. Mr.. Hookway said
that in the spring and fall when the
ground is soft it is impossible to
take a motor hearse into the GENE
terry, thus causing a great deal of in
convenience. He said a driveway of
brick through the cemetery would re-
live all this trouble. Upon Mr.. Hook
ways motion, the matter was referred
to u special committee. President
Clutter named Hookway, Weaver and
Sockman members Of this committee.

The City Has #
Nice 'LiI Goat

The city has a goat, at least for the
present. Although it belongs to City
Clerk j. II. Wootton, it is kept in the
city offices and thereby has been
termed the city's goat.
The goat is only one and one-half
week old, but is very vivacious and
does some queer tricks when it's own
err is around The one great thing
about the goat that attracts so much
attention is it's voice. Oh, it has
sweet voice, but uses 1t to such poor
ends that it sounds something like
baby crying.
The goat will probably not be per-
manent fixture in the city offices, as
Clerk Wootton had it given to him
and he Is just as anxious to be rid of
it as the fellow who gave it to him.

The Only Way.

Bishop Tyree said, ironically, Of Sum
day golf, in Nashville:
1.-THE only way for the church to
combat Sunday golf would be, sup
pose. to make the pews as comfortable
as the old eighteenth-century squire's
used to be.
"The squire's big, square pew used
to be curtained off, you know, and fur
nished like parlor. 1t had separate
fireplace in it, and If the sermon was
too long, the squire would poke the
fire impatiently as a hint for the
preacher to stop.
"SOme sQuires had liveried menial
to serve wine and cake half way
through the sermon, and also to bring
them their mail and newspapers, which
they would read during the discourse.
"Once an unusually luxurious
squire's pew was shown to the famous
Wilberforce, and the squire asked him
gleefully If he could suggest any i'm
provement or addition.

NATIONWIDE CONSPIRACY.

There is no longer much reason to
doubt that a nationwide conspiracy
to paralyze the mining industry in
the United States, is being fostered.
The Butte mines are almost at a
standstill. The Arizona mines are
shut down, while armed strikers are
rapidly getting beyond the control
Of local authorities.
The Utah mines are to be next, 1t
has been announced. Trouble is also
threatening in Northern Minnesota.
which supplies 70 to so per cent Of
the iron used in this country.
Labor unions have done every
thing in their power to avoid strikes
during the war. Their attitude has
been a patriotic one. Only the anar-
chistic /. w. w. have been fomenting
labor disturbances, and those dis,
turbances have been entirely con-
nected with industries of most inn
portance to the war. Copper mines,
iron mines, and western farms have
been their targets.
In view of this fact, and the
further statement that the treasury
is we'll supplied with funds, it might
be well for the government secret
service to investigate the. source of
its sudden wealth. If a conspiracy
charge could be proven against the
organization, there would be little
more trouble with I. w. w. organ
