Nidlinger 4 Son today held , their big hog sale at the Nidlinger home, four and one-half mjles northeast of this city, and it was one of the best-attended sales ever conducted here. Fred ißepi>ert, the man who al ways gts the high dollar, was the cryer, and handsome were the prices received on this fancy stock of Durocs. Mr. Nidlinger well advertised his sale and hence the good results. o— CITY’S BUSINESS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE work of this kind, and another reason I is that it would be a difficult problem i to secure the right kind of bids, the, street being too small a job for contractors to bid on alone. And since the city is contemplating the construction of probably two other streets in the near future it may be held over until this can be arranged, for one contract Some difficulty had arisen as to whether or not one of the remonstrators against the above said improvement was legal since he, James N. I'ristoe, who has been absent from the

city, residing at Warsaw, where he once voted, while at the same time he claimed this to be his permanent home, although he has not resided here all of the time. This controversy was settled Tuesday evening, when Attorney Jasss C. Sutton read a f sworn affidavit received from Mr. Frls- ? toe, stating that he was a legal remonstrator, and that this is his home, as ( he had claimed it to be. The Mers-' ’ man sewer on North Second street, ' which has not been iving the desired : results, was brought ip last evening I to be looked into, and which was later | referred to the street and sewer com-; ’ mittee. The present docket of the | mayor being nearly filled, and answered - about all the purposes possible, he ; asked for a new- one. which was ordered to be purchased to suit his honor : and prescribed by law. The following j bills then being allowed, the evening's work was completed: John Sprague $ 9.00 I. G. Smith 50.00 , William Geary 10.00 ■ G. F.
