Slowly retracing my way townwards

come out through the iron-guarded
gateway. -
The one / recognized first was the
Duplicate Except in his walk and the
build of his frame he was Resiiius
Marvel-at distance. His face was
well made up. A person who had only
seen the Marvel portrait would be de-
ceived. There were certain character
istics missing for man who had been
intimate with the real Marvel. but this
imposter might have walked through
nine out of ten city banks and would
have been accepted as the genuine
article.
And then I fell to studying the Du
plicate's companion. The latter wore
no long beard, his attire was different
from that of the man had seen at
Marvel's apartments the evening pre-
vious, but he certainly was. the man
who had jumped into the automobile
with Resilius Marvel in pursuit.
If the Duplicate was Rex Maginn,
the Human Spool, and his present
companion the white-whiskered man
and the president of the City National
bank of Springfield, then indeed l had
come upon the scene at an interesting
juncture, to say the least.
The two men proceeded on mod

City National bank. Then they en-

be Morgan in the lead. They entered
it, but not by the front. where the

have gained the confidence of the

a special meeting called for that pur-
pose, Saturday night. Aldermen Hall,
Blake, Brown, Falk, Geo. Peterson, N.
J. Peterson, LaFond and Farrow were
present.
Mayor Bergheim explained that the
installing Of traffic guide posts on the
main streets of the city would greatly
aid the police department in handling
the traffic situation. He said that the
replacing Of the guides was generally
desired and that the Commercial club
had appointed committee to wait on
the council and ask them to put the
guides back into service. =
John Wetzel was present and he told
what he knew about the use of traffic
guide posts in the cities out west, from
where he recently returned. He said
that he had taken pains to observe the
kind of posts USED and he found that

diameter. In this base iron pipes bear
ing the traffic sign were placed. They
were made so that the post bearing
the sign could be removed from the
base and put away over night, being
replaced each morning.
The matter was, on motion by Alder
man Geo. Peterson, referred to the
street committee with power to act.
Mayor Bergheim also brought up
the matter Of having the council al
low the use of certain unopened or I'M
used streets, avenues and alleys for
gardening purposes. He said that
there had been many requests for this.
He suggested that the council either
leave the matter of granting permits
for use of the streets or alleys for
such purposes to one man for the en-
tire city or to one man from each
ward. He also suggested that in cases
where more than one party would ask
permission to use such streets or alleys,
that the plots be staked out so as to
avoid disputes. MI. Bergheim also
suggested that the Northern Pacific
railway company be asked for permits
sion to use the right-of-way along the
east side tracks for garden purposes.

another motion, also put by Mr.. Pc
terson, they voted to have the chair
appoint one alderman from each ward

A delegation of women who are
members of the Lincoln Benefit club,
also number of gentlemen from the
West side and all of the teachers from
the Lincoln school, appeared before
the council and asked that something
be done at once to get the streets sur
rounding the school house in shape so
that the children can get to school
without getting wet feet. T. G. Cor
don, president of the school board,
acted as chief spokesman for the dele
cation. "A committee from the Lin
coin Benefit club composed of Mrs.
Carl Bolander, Mrs. n. J. Peterson and
Mrs. o. r. Carlson, had previously in
terviewed the members Of the council
in regard to the matter. Mr.. Gordon
stated that the streets surrounding the
Lincoln school were in terrible condi-
ton and that it was physical impos-
sibility to drive within a block of the
school and that it was ALSO impossible
for child to get to school without
getting wet feet. He suggested that
the streets be graded and something
done to take care Of the excess surface
water.
F. w. Dobbyn, superintendent of the
city schools, was also present, and he
urged that something be done soon.
He made it plain to the council that
it was absolutely necessary that the
streets abe fixed as the lives Of the
children were endangered.
spoke in favor of the proposed work
and they said that what was needed
most was drainage.
Alderman George Peterson stated
that some Of the water could be drain
ed into the ditch on Sixth street but
that it would be necessary to put in a
new ditch to Fourth avenue southwest.
J. w. Crossfeld called the councils
attention to the condition of Fourth
avenue southwest, between Eighth and
Twelfth streets and he asked that
ditch be dug there to take care of the
excess water. On motion by Alderman
Geo. Peterson the council instructed
the street commissioner to get busy at
once on the work Of draining the ter
ritory around the school and grading
Third avenue and Sixth and Seventh
streets. The matter Of getting the
streets surrounding this school house
fixed has been brought before the
council several times but this was the
first time that any real action was Sc
cured and the women felt that they
had won real victory. They showed
the council their appreciation by a
hearty applause when the matter was
finally decided.
