SPEEDING UP ON
SIDEWALK BUILDING
City Council Has Decided That
It Will Not Wait Much Long
er for People to Build
Their Own Walks

Questioned regarding the probable
| ity of getting sidewalks built this
spring, Mayor Wright stated to the
Daily Citizen Monday that the city
council had already ordered several
miles of walk. put in and intended
forthwith to order more; that the
engineer had set the grade stakes
and it was now up to the property
owners to get busy and have their
walks built. The council will wait q
limited time, for the property owners
to put in their own walks; and wher-
ever that is not done the city will let
the contract, issue improvement bonds
for the cost, and the expense will be
charged up to the property and will
have to be paid as an addition to the
regular taxes. This, Mr.. Wright
SAYS, will make the cost q good deal
higher. He thinks it the patriotic
duty of every property owner who has
been ordered to build walk, to do so
without further delay. Some members
of the city council who themselves
did not comply with the ordinance
passed last fall, are going to take the
lead it is said, and have their walks
built right away.
Any property owner who desires to
start walk building in his neighbor-
hood can easily get the matter before
the city council. All he has to do is
70 get up petition for a walk along
certain street or streets, have 1t
signed by ten or more property own
ers anywhere in town, and present
same to the council. The council will
shen order the walk built.

DRILL MAN IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Jesse Ball, a drill contractor opera
ting near Baxter Springs, was sever
ely injured Saturday night when he
was struck by an automobile. He is
at present at the Hotel Baxter, con-
fined to his room and under the care
of ]. N. Partch. Mr.. Ball vas on an
interurban car returning from Joplin
about 1890 Saturday night, when at
Galena where his car and car ahead
had stopped, he attempted to get on
the car intending to get onto the car
ahead. Just as he stepped from the
car the automobile struck him. He
was knocked down and rendered un-
conscious from blow behind the car.
Friends brought him to Baxter and
took him to the hotel and not until
4:SO Sunday morning did he regain
consciousness. Mr.. Ball does not
know who the driver of the auto was,
and probably will not attempt to ind
out as he believes under the circum-

FORGOT WHAT HE NEEDED

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad,
Ohio: The editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when q
young gentleman came to this office
and asked for a copy of the Morrow
County Republican. H escrutinized it
carefully when q copy was handed
him, and then said: "Now ! don't
1now!" "What is it you are looking
for" we inquired. my wife sent me
after a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, and forgot the name: l
went to several stores and the clerks
named over everything in the line on
the shelf except 'Chamberlain's.' I'll
:ry again, and I'll never go home
without Chamberlain's Cough Rem
,dy." The Republican would suggest
to the proprietors Of stores, that they
post their clerks, and never let them
substitute. Customers lose faith in
,torcs where substituting is permitted
to say nothing of the injustice to
makers of good goods and the disap-
pointment of customers.
