A petition signed by a large majority of our manufacturers and business men, in fact everybody who could be seen yesterday afternoon, asking the council to bonds in the sum of $15,000 for improving the streets leading into the city, was read and placed on file. Frank Bemowski asked to be given the privilege of improving the property now used as a livery barn by F.

A. Ball and to remodel the same into two stores, covering the structure with steel. Aid. Abb made a vigorous objection to granting the petition and Aid. Schenk moved that the prayer of the petitioner be granted.

The latter motion was later withdrawn and upon motion of Aid. Urowaki the petition was referred to the committee on city affairs to report at the next meeting. An ordinance was introduced and carried requiring that all sidewalks in the city be hereafter built of cement, brick or other material equally as good. Aid.

BONDS FOR GOOD ROADS DOESN'T LIKE TO WANDER in the GaaacU Acts Favarahly Upm Resalntiaa ta Issae $15,000 ia Baids- Farther Actiaa Necessary. The proposition to bond the city the sum of $15,000 for improving streets of the city, and especially tbos I in the outskirts leading in differ en directions to the country districts brought forth a lively discussion at the council meeting last evening. A reeo lution was introduced proposing to make the bonds payable annually in the sum of $1,500 each year, and issue them in denominations of $500, with interest at not to exceed 5 per cent When the resolution was read.

Aid Abb said that he appreciated good roads as much an anybody else, but that it would be better for the city to build a city hall so that they woolc have something over their heads, rather than to spend more money on the roads. He said the taxes are now high enough, the people are kicking on account ol high taxes and he believed in looking after home first, rather the surrounding country. He said that we have enough bonds at preaent, "we are bonded to death-it is something fierce." When he had finished, Aid. McDonald moved the adoption of the resolution. Aid.

Cook then asked if the city could not sell its bonds at 4 per cent. D. E. Frost was called upon and made a warm address in answer to Aid. Abb, Normal avenue to Washington saying that nearly every manufacturer the work to be done under the control and business man on both aides of of the board of public works, was car-1 Main street had signed the petition for ried.

Aid. Schenk introduced a resolution authorizing the construction of a surface sewer on Union street, from Main street to the slough, and also on N. Second street, from Portage street to tbe slough, the board of public works being empowered to purchase the necessary pipe, and the resolution was adopted. An ordinance Scribner licens-1 ing dogs, was read, the license fee to be $1.50 for males and from $1.50 to $3 for female dogs, while proprietors of kennels eball pay a license of $10. The; license fee is due June 1st, each dog must wear a collar and tag.

and anyone failing to comply with the ordinance shall be fined from $5 to $25. or not to exceed 20 days' in jail. Mayor Walters advocated the adoption of the ordinance, telling of personal and other experiences with ugly curs, and Aid. Abb objected to the ordinance, saying that we had one in the past which gave much trouble. He said that a good dog is a protection to many people living on the outskirts of the city.

After more discussion the license fee for male dogs was reduced to $1 and the passed by a vote of 9 to 3. An ordinance requiring people in the business section of the city to sprinkle their sidewalks before sweeping, which had been prepared by Dr. yon Neopert, city health officer, was read and adopted. Aid. McDonald introduced a petition asking for a donation of $500 from the city for the fair association.

Sec. Bourn read several letters showing that La Crosse bad donated $1,500. Wansan S850. MarshfieW $600 and Chippewa Falls $609 to their fairs. A motion to grant the petition was lost and it was finally referred to the committee on city affairs with the city attorney to investigate and report at the next meeting.

Municipal Judge Murat presented bis quarterly report showing that he had collected $55 during the past three months, which sum was turned over to the city. City Atty. Owen made a report recommending that the claim of Mrs. Paulina Werachowski for alleged injuries received last winter by slipping on a walk, be disallowed and his report was adopted. He also reported upon the proposed plats of E.

W. Sellers for McKinley Park and Sellers' additions. and the first named was adopted and the latter laid over to the next meeting. J. P.

Malick presented a communication setting; forth that if the city would pave St. Louis and Central avenues, that he would furnish the necessary granite without cost to the city; that the crusher could be placed on his land and that be would further famish all the granite the city needa for the next five years without cost. AM. Meixmald said that this material ia the best that can be 'secured for paving purposes. He also said that tie knows several people who would donate liberally if the streets named are paved.

This waa referred to the committee on bichwaya to report at the next regular The Gazette was made the official issuing bonds, that the present council chamber is good enough, in fact the beet that the council ever sat in, and what the city wants is good roads leading to the country so that farmers will come here and make thin their market. No one, he said, hesitated to sign when approached, aa all want good roads. A city ball is alright, but there are other things more important at this time. Aid. Schenk also advocated the adoption of the resolution and J.

W. Dunegan said that be did not think the bonds would sell at 4 per but he knew they could be sold at 5 per cent, and possibly a little less. He said be was heartily in favor of good roads so that the trade from the surrounding country could be centralized in this city, and when good roads are once built they should be cared for in the future. He said it $15,000 is not enough to complete the wotk. more bonds should be issued.

j. P. Malick said he would rather see the city issue bonds in the sum of $20, 000. payable in 20 years. H.

A. Vetter and W. W. Mitchell also spoke in favor ordinance of good roads and Mr. Mitchell wanted to see the bonds run fot 30 years, pay- bid the paper for the ensuing year, their for publishing being $350, while Journal bid $965.

Mayor Walters asked the council to purchase two stop watches for the police, to cost not to exceed each, and to be taaaf by them to enforce the automobile laws in the city. He totd of parties wbe seem to pay Kttleor no able in installments of $500 anually.

I In this manner the taxpayer would never feel the expense. Aid. Scnenk 1 said that we now have $8.000 in the street fund, one-half of which is for improving the streets hi the outskirts, and that $15.000 more would make a total of $19.000. Aid. Redneld aaid that good roads leading to tbe city are alright, providing that we can get the outside towns to join with us and Aid.

McDonald said that some of tbe town officers consider tbe agitation of building good roads in tbe city a joke. He said that Chairman Walkush. of Hull, ia prepared to meet us and improve tbe road north as soon as tbe city will snow a disposition along the same line. He said be knows of a man in tbe city who would take all of tbe bonds at 4i per cent. Mayor Walters then took tbe floor and said that the matter of good roads has been discussed during the past 15 or 16 yean, and they should be built in tbe direction of Plover.

Carson, Sharon, Stockton, Hull and Linwood, aa the poorest roads are now within the city limits. City Atty. Owen said that the passage of this resolution wouta not settle the matter, as an ordinance must be introduced and passed at the next regular meeting and the council is wasting time in discussing the matter further. A motion to adopt the resolutioa was then carried by a vote of 8 to 4. those voting "no" being Abb.

Altenburg, Firkna and RedfiekL In the course of the discussion ex- Aid. H. H. PageCasid that the city now has $10.000 in the street fund to work and that he is heartily in favor of bonding for the additional sum above stated, aa there ia nothing that would he more beneficial to the city than the building of good roads, so as to bring farmers from the surrounding country. He closed by asking the alderman from the Second ward to vote in favor of the ordinance when it is brought up.

The total bonded indebtedness of the city at preaent is $72,000, while our legal limit is between $150.000 and $180,000. This does nut look aa though we are "bonded to death." aa stated by AM.

The Butterfield farm of 200 acres lying on both sides of the Plover river and the Soo right-of-way, about one mile east of the city limits, recently passed into the bands of E.

W. Sellers. The late Mr. and Mrs. David Butter field came here in 1853, and the following year they settled on what has ever since been known as the Butterfield place, on the west bank of the Plover, just north of the present main line ol the Soo, where in the early daya some of the mischievous boys of Steveni Point, all of whom are now old ami bald, if still among the living, woo Id go to "coon" water melons, plums, etc.

Mr. Butterfield died 28 years ago. and for the past 15 years the family home had been on the opposite side of the river, south of the Soo track. Mrs. Butterfield died a couple of years and since then the two sons, Eugene and Zirori, have continued to reside there.

Eugene was married about one year ago, but Zimri will probably always remain a bachelor. He was born on the old homestead in 1861. almost half a century ago, and has been outside the county but once, then going to Milladore, just over the line into Wood county. At that time be made the trip by train, and on two other occasions went as far east aa Stockton station and far south as Plover. Zimri says he is a home body, don't like to wander too ftr away and is proud of bis home record.

Before disposing of the old homestead, the Butterfield brothers par- chased 120 of land in the town of Linwood, six miles southwest of the city, near the Mill creek bridge, north of the Wood mill, and expect to move there next week. A part of this land was bought from J. R. McDonald and the balance from V. P.

She had not been feeling well for several months, and during the winter was confined to her bed for about three weeks.

Two weeks ago last Monday she left- for Merrill, the home of her parents and sisters, tit submit to an opeiation, which was attempted two days later and revealed a cancer, the cure ot which was realized as impossible and surgeons made no attempt to remove the same. Thereafter, being able to partake of only the slightest nourishment, she gradually failed, but was hopeful to the last. Members of the family were almcsr constantly at her bed-ide, and her son, Will and daughters. Mrs.

A. M.

At about midnight there was a sadden change for the worse, the immediate cause of death being perforation of the bowels, due to the cancer.
