Discuss Better Roads.

The city council met last evening.
all the members Of the council being
present, After transacting regular
routine business. they listened to a
settles club, who talked to the council
upon the necessity OF better roads
leading into the city. More especially
the road up Highway street, which
they recommended should be graded
and Strengthened. The council took
preliminary steps looking toward this
improvement. The city engineer will
yey, and estimates of the cost OF i'm.
proyements on this street.
This improvement consists OF two
propositions; one to change the street
10 run straight through the rayine
back of the Hogue house, running
directly into Bratton street on the
north. The other is to cut down the
hill on the present road, carrying the
spoil both north and south. North
into the swale between the Peterson
house and MacArturs residence, and
south into the ravine to make a true
grade from the bottom OF the hill up
TO the Peterson residence Also. to
widen the street on the curve by the
Hogue house
Either of these projects would make
a greatly needed Improvement in high.
way, and all north side farmers would
find it easy to come to Marseilles with
grain as to go to any other city.
The gentlemen who appeared before
the council was the Highway Commit
tee appointed by the Greater Mar
settles club: S. H. Montgomery. S. R.
Lewis. and Ray Hinch.
There is a carload Of plank now on
the road for the use of the city in re.
planking the river bridge. 1t is expect
ed to arrive most any day.
The council have constructed an ap-
prOach on the south side of the canal
on which to set the new fire truck In
Matchtown so there will be no delay
in case of fire in that part of the city
in drawing water from the canal.
. They also provided for running a
pipe on the north side of the canal
over the heel path to the water from
the canal for the protection of the pro-
perty on Young street, and all proper.
ty lying between Young street and the
canal.

portion of that state They spent
some time on Devils lake, went thru
the beautiful Dells which consisted
of four-hour boat trip on the beau
tiful Wisconsin river They went
from there to lola in the same state,

Mrs. Persons went on to Eagle river

including himself They report that
at eagle river there is a most beautiful
scenic park, where the ground is COW
cred with magnificent pines, some
running forty feet without branch,
and the earth below is covered with
pine needles, making fine camping
place. There are in this region
dozens of tiny lakes, where the fish
ing is done from boats.
Mr., and Mrs. Persons carried with
them complete camping outfit, and
lived and slept in their own tents.

Another Letter From Mexico.

City. is interesting to the public:
We went with Mr.. DeHoyos to see
a play Saturday evening. The scenery
was beautiful and the music. pretty
and snatchy though of course If We
had understood what they were talk
ink about. we would have seen a real
coed show. AS it was we enjoyed only
the music and dancing and scenery.
Mr.. DeHoyos is leaving today for
New York, and We will certainly miss
him, as he has been very nice to us.
Yesterday we spent the day with
Pachecos. We went riding in the
morning to thai' home for dinner, rid
ing again In the afternoon, and out in
the country to beautiful hotel for
tea and dancing" We had lovely
time and she certainly can cook.
We had everything under the sun
for dinner How they can prepare
meals on such stoves | don't see!
The stoves are built right in the wall,
and are probably what you call "ka'
chel ofen." They burn charcoal or
carbon. and in order to keep up good
fire. some one has 10 fan the flame
most of the time.
A gas company did start down here,
but couldn't make it pay. People had
an idea that if they used gas stoves
they would get consumption, It's a
wonder that they did not object to
electricity! Most of the Americans
here use electric stoves, and hope
can have one some day, toe, If We
keep house again They are just Won
