At the meeting of the town board on last Thursday might, mayor Brown appointed Geo. E. Catterlin special ergineer to establish a grade on the streets around the square. This appointment was confirmed by the board, and the street commis- sioner was ordered to grade the same. The city clerk was ordered to draw up ordinances compelling property owners around the square to macad- amize the street to the center, to join the work ordered by the county court. This is and reflects credit upon the wisdom of the board. an excellent order It not only improves the street and enhances the value ot property, but gives employment to a number of laborers.

The juries before which he was tried are acknowledged to be the best juries. taken all in all, ever empaneled in Bates county. He cannot complain of untairness ot his trial. The evidence against him is all circumstantial, but it 1s of the most positive nature and cannot be overcome.
