Paving is not needed in Hamilton outside of High street and ppssibly Third as far south as Ludlow. The material is right at our door for the making of the very finest of streets and at very little cost.

City councils are considering the matter, boards of health are condemning the methods in use and the newspapers are urging action of some sort.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer There are two systems in use for the disposition of garbage In an effectual, economical and innoxious manner by the agency ol beat. In the one the garbage is all passed through a furnace and completely destroyed, the more inflammable substances aiding in consuming the others. In the other process the grease is distilled, condensed and saved, forming a basis for various profitable products, while the residuum is subjected to a heat that destroys all germs contained in it and is then Bold as fertilizer. Both systems of garbage consumption are connected with a Uorough system ol systematic garbage collection. We believe it Is high time that our council take some action In regard to the garbage; Hamilton Is not a village DOW like It was some years ago, yet the same disposition is made of the garbage now as made fifty years down to the river bank.

We believe that public sentiment )i in favor of council spending some money on the garbage destruction. As it IE DOW some people have sepa rate boiei for garbage and ashes: many more do not; the result is that a conglomerate mass of tilth and disease breeding is deposited at the door ol our city, and the dellghtfu odors pregnant with disease germ are into onr systems.

Upon mo" ion of Ferdinand Van Deryeer, a com- ilttee of three was appointed to pre are suitable resolutions expressive of egret for the calamity which had be- allen our woe stricken community, he chairman appointed General Van- lerveer, Colonel Campbell and Jacob Troutman a committee on resolutions, nd requested a tinelj report. The ommittee retired, whereupon, Peter upon whom especial notice of he intended meeting had been served, rose and addressed the desponding athering as follows: My dear sorrowing and grief stricken rethren, tbe recent calamity which has alien upon tbis community, and par- icuiarly upon our party is one that oes not often happen. The lealer of ur grand old party Is dead. To few men is given the power to combine, com. mand, control their fellows.

The sceased in this regard was all mm an exception, is but due to the discernment of ome of the leading men of our party hat it was perceiyea our dead friend ossessed in an imminent degree these are qualities; and well it was that uch discovery was made.

Harmony took the lace of discord and peace that of war.

At this point the committee on resolutions appeared and Mr. rturphy gave way. The report was as follows: "WEEBAS, It has pleased an omnlcient 3od in a wise dispensation of his provi ence, to take from our midst our dis- inguished, talented and genial friend nd co-laborer in the cause of social and oiltical harmony and removed him we ope, to a sphere where perfect harmony reigns, and where that mighty nind will be forever at rest, therefore eit fiesolraxi. That this community deeply eplores the loss of a humanitarian in he largest sense; one who labored, both mind and body for the elevation of the lack and white alike and even gave to he former downtrodden and oppressed the distinction of his most intimate ompanionship.

Hamilton has a young man, by the way widower and very much infatu with a certain young ady of Lebanon, who frequent visits here. Eirly Sunday morning this young Hamillonisn start -d for Lebanon, to spend the day with he lady.

Everything went "as merry a marriage bell," and our friend tarted home about 9 via Monroe, which place was reached nearly 11 'clock. Here he went to sleep and when he awoke he was in a place he had never seen before, and as the horse tood in a fence corner the robins and ittle chippey birds twittered a welcome the lord of day as he made his appearance over the eastern hills. He finally mcceeded in arousing some family, and hen made the discovery that he was in 3 rinceton. How he got there he does not know, but it Is supposed the horse wandered about the country until he did not know where to go and hen stopped. The giddy young widower finally reached home.

ALL SORTS The Dick Dalton. commission of the Honorable Richard Dalton, of Rails county, as surveyor of the port of St. Louis has afforded much satisfaction to his many 'riends and acquaintances in this city. will be remembered that he was de- in the nomination for governor of Missouri on the democratic ticket. The manner in which he accepted tig defeat and the true work he did for the democracy in supporting his success- ul opponent, won for him thou- lands of friends.

Some time ago and without his knowledge a movement was inaugurated to make ilm the surveyor of the port of St. is, but until his character was assailed by some anonymous correspondents, he took no part whatever, and then merely went to Washington with such documentary evidence as to conclusively prove the malicious falseness the charges. The commission of appointment was ligned by President Cleveland on May and is recognized not only as a loyal- ness of party, but as a reward ol true merit as well. The salary of the surveyor is annum. He in turn appoints a deputy with a salary $2,500, and a cashier with $3,000, as well as a large number of clerks and inspectors.

Dick Dalton was born In Ireland, in tbe year 1887; when two years old his larents moved to this country and ocated in Lebanon. About 1860, Dick moved to Missouri, and shortly afterward enlisted In the Jnion army, serving till the close of the war when he settled near Hannibal, Rails county, Mo. He held a number of political positions and last fall was one ol the most prominent aspirants for governor. Mr. Dalton is a brother of Edward Dalton, formerly of this city, and clerk of the court of common pleas.

Dick Is well-known throughout this section and his friends will rejoice to hear of his Joe Sannders Prospecting. A special from Guthrie, Oaltlahoma, to the Wichita, Kansas Eagle, of recent days, contains the following, of local "Mr. J. F.

Tbls Is quite a surprise to onr chemists from Kansas, who have rather laughed at the Idea of any such valuable property lying around loose; but It Is only one of the many wonders In store for the capitalist In the mines of the five tribes, which are gradually being made known through enterprising prospectors.

was a rtry noticeable fact that Governor McKmley was cheered very little In tbe U. A. R. parade on Wednesday. This Is probably due to the fact the govern ir walked Instead of riding a horse or occupying a conspicuous seat in an open carriage.

He walked In tbe parade and very few people saw him; the great mass of spectators did not know him by sight and only when the parade passed a crowd who bad seen him before was there any cbeering, and then only feebly. There were many surmises as to why the governor walked. Well, you know he is a candidate for another term and he wanted to show that he was not the aristocrat usually pictured of him and that he could get down and walk with the boys. This is why be was because he preferred walking to riding. HERE are some attorneys, in this coty who stoop to more unprofea.

slonal and little things than any attorneys 1 ever heard or read of. I know of attorneys who go around and asi people to bring suns; tell them they have a good case against so and so. In other Instances they push themselves into the jail or station house and endeavor to thrust their services upoh any unfortunate they think has $5. Such business seems to be on the increase, and if the Butler County Bar association had the least particle of backbone it would purge itself and the community of such fellows who lower the grandest profession In the world. HEN a small boy, I can well remember many of our citizens who kept a diary.

Each day they would jot down the events that occurred between sunrise and sunset. Many Hamiltonlans would not think of going to bed until their diary of daily happenings had been written. Our "granthers" were punc- 1 ious In keeping an accurate account of he weather for each day that passed. Uow all is changed. Tbe man of today leemingly has no time for a diary.

leis absorbed in schemes of business profit and lies awake nights ilannlng how to make money on the morrow. Booksellers say the demand 'or diaries has almost subsided. Our customs are undergoing a great change almost impreceptibly. In the rare we engage in for the almighty dollar we orget all else and we are all running 'or a common goal which is no more or ess than a plentitude of worldly com- 'orts. remind me of the barbarians of Africa.

These heathen peo- are completely carried away anything that is showy. They value the glass bead, the showy brass orna- or the bright colored cotton cloth fir greater than gold or silver, or diamonds. So are many men. They are attracted by the passing, unlastlug tblngs that amount to nothing whatever, letting the most golden opportunities pass by unnoticed, uncared for. Such men are never a success in life.

The man of thought and consideration, the man who ever alert to grasp every opportunity coming within his reach, the man not carried away with the pleasures of a moment, is the success of this world. LEASURE seems to be almost unbounded among the little folks who for almost eigdt months now have been shut up in the school rooms of the city. They are now counting the weeks, the days, the hours almost until vacation comes when they shall be free from their little trials and cares. Their anticipation is a pleasure even to us older ones, who can no longer look forward to a time when we will forget all thought of work and en joy ourselves without a EVER before in the history of our city or county, has the court house seen put to such good use on Sunday as is now. Every Sunday one can now see hundreds of children with bright faces and dresses going there to Sunday school, and later equal numbers to attend church service.

Several times- church service has been held in the court house. The Universallsts occupied it for a long time, but never before aave two congregations used the court bouse at the same time. Janitor Bisdorf does not complain; in fact heratherlikesit; he makes a nice Little sum of extra money each and George Bays that he wishes every room could be occupied by some church. UDLOW park has tbe reputatipn of being one of the prettiest parks for Its size to be found anywhere. We really do not know what a treasure we possess in It and we should awake to a consciousness of Its value and the city should take measures to make It more beautiful even than It is.

As for me, I would like to see a grand statue placed In the center of the park, the statue to represent Pioneer Ludlow, after whom the park was named or else have it to represent General Arthur St. Clair. Smaller statues representing other pioneers or men famous In the development of this portion of the country could be placed at the park entrances. It Is but fitting that we should erect memorials to those who gave their best efforts for the advancement of civilization. Aside from this, however, the BUY YOUR SHOES at tbe Cntfonlal Boot and Shot stort I wish erection would render point the to of onr make Is that these statues city more attractive to the eye and would give strangers a favorable impression of Hamilton and Its people.

A statue would well In Sutherland park and also in the Campbell avenue improvement. While I am on this subject I wish to refer to a matter which I frequently mentioned before. The commissioners hare not yet given up the Idea of placing a fouutiln In the court bouse yard. trust that If ever a fountain Is placed there that It will be one worthy of the name. I would not call It extravagance to spend a good ronnd sum of money for a first claas fountain, one that would a beauty to court house square.
