ASSOCIATION MEETS And Members Sky They Will "seek Some Information on Why Street' Paving Matters Are Being Delayed. Business men on East Broadway are cry much exorcised over the Iron up condition of the street where the con- ractors have removed the bricks preparatory to paving, and a Telegraph eporter was told this, morning the matter will bo taken up to-night by the East End Improvement Association meeting in Turner hall.

"The work of oaring up tfie street was begun the day before the. city election," merchants said to-day, "and there has cen absolutely nothing done since towards fixing up the torn part of the troet. street Is being torn up while nolle of It has boon graded for avlng or for other necessary work to be done. The condition will not'be lettered as long as only a few men are vorked on the job, and we will try nd find out to-night just'what tho rouble Is." At the mooting this evening' several matters ot more or less general inter- st will come before the association or discussion or adjustment and a ul lattendance of the members Is Ired and requested. A delegation of ten Wood River women appeared before (he meeting of the village council H.lver last, night "and requested the councllmen to pass an ordinance prohibiting the runniiig of chickens at large.

Mrs. A. K. Whilelaw, who complaint recently regarding the running of 0. Y.

Henry's pig at large, was one of the women who appeared before the council. She gave a brief talk to the councilmen last night. Mrs. E. En- dicptt, Mrs.

Margaret Haller and Mrs. M. F. Manning also gave short talks to the councilmen on the subject. The councilmen conferred about th matter and decided not to take any im mediate action.

Attorney Wllliamsoi said that there was such an ordinance on the books prohibiting the running of fowls and animals at large, but Ilia test case had yet been made in th Supreme Court and he andecidet as to whether it would hold. The pres ent ordinance will be strictly adherer to in prosecutions for complaints this nature and fines will be assesset some one does really decide to test the case. The'women also asked an ordi name providing for'fines those who did not secure and malte use garbage cans. It is proposed that the village send a team and wagon around once a month and collect the gar bage. The women promised to make arrangements for planting flowers am shrubs in public spots about the vil lage after the garbage ordinance was drawn up and enforced.

The council men promised- to take iip the matter as soon as possible, bub no action was taken last night. Two ordinances were passed. One created an inspection of. electric lights and wires and the other provided for the sewer and water improvements in Head's Addition. J.

A. Head promised to have the work done himself at his own expense, but It was' necessary for the couucilmen to, approve the work by the passage of an ordinance. 'A-blue print of the'jiew addition across from the school house which for the present is known as Penning's second addition was presented by Prod Penning, and was accepted. The plat will be drawn up later. The property lies between Lor'cna and Madison avenues and is some of the most valuable property in Wood River.

Following the regular meeting, there was a second session for tho reorgan ization. George Dalton and Artie James took their seats In the council. W. N. Dulaney, councilman, and Irwin.Lynch were new members.

Mayor Beach made his appointments which were the same as last year. The committees were also the same with the exception of a few names changed because of the change in councilmen.

PER WEEK, BOYS STAYED IN JAIL OVERNIGHT NOTED KANSAS EDITOR, WITH Ol'T AXNOtXCIXG SU1WECT, TALKS FOR ONE HOUR TO OF MEN. Christian Efficiency might have been a good subject for the address delivered at the Y. M. C. A.

Monday evening by Henry J. Allen, editor of thn Wichita Beacon. Mr. Alien is a prominent man in tho life of Kansas. He is a devoted Christian, a strong advocate of the anti-saloon cause, and a believer in personal work as nn upbuilding factor in the churches.

He announced that he had intended to deliver a lecture on the Democracy of Jesus Christ, but that as ho started for Alton lie had fe.H a grow-, ing distaste for the lecture as a suitable one to give in Alton. Ho had started without, knowing just how far it was to Alton and the distance was so long that, before he arrived, he abandoned the lecture completely and decided to make a rambling talk. Had he been posted on the feubject most interesting 'lie could not have been more fortunate in his selection. It is a remarkab'e fact that no one had suggested to him the line of talk he was to follow. He began with an illustration of tho value to any community the hurch is.

Ho declared that It gave all that was worth while to the community. If I spoke with the voice of authority, and wero to order that tho Y. M. C. A.

bo transformed into a munition storehouse and the churches into commercial houses, and this would be to drive the religion of Jesus Christ out of Alton, yo4 would rise as one, and I doubt that I would have time to escape to my car to lake me out of town. You would say "don't close the churches! )on't take Jesus Christ away from Tho business man, the the carpenter and. even ithe saloon man and the brewer would protest. You wouldn't be able to Ive. in Alton without the churches.

Tou-would say, that you would (ako all the accumulated wealth of the ity, all the real estate, and pay axe son it, It were given to you or the taxes, If you had to live In churchless, Godless Alton as a con- Ideratlon. The speaker then followed up this showing that while everybody vas benefitting by the churches bong in the city, none would want the hurches removed from Alton, yet here were many who wero getting encfits from the churches and (long nothing.

While loitering around waiting for the train to go, the boys were overhauled by a squad of blue coats who demanded to know their business. The boys made explanation and tho policemen thought it won'd be tho proper thing to lake them to headquarters. The boys had a patrol ride to headquarters and were put In jail for tho nlpht. In the morning the four were liberated. They had not slept at all.

Ntext to them was a ma naccuscd of murder who was being sweated by officers and just for; practise the officers would also sweat boys.
