The Jumr Bimetallic League will
meet ut the court house od the even
ingof Jan. 8th, 1897, (Jackson
Day) for the purpose of determin
ing as to re-organ ization and for the transaction of any other huainese
whi ch may come before it. R. M. Milbl'rm, Pres.
MTA petition to Gov. Matthew for the pardon of Sam. Kean hatbeen circulated by his friends, and
a number of the jury who sent him
up have signed it.
seyBy the town contracting for only 19 arc lights, instead of 20, the
annual expense of lighting is re
duced to f 1 .092.50. Several more
lights are needed, but the town
can't afford them.
MT A number of good tax-payer
in Jasper presented a petition to the
Board of Trustees Monday night toi the extension of 5th street west. Several of them have complained on the streets about the town taxes, and yet they seem to want more. Go ahead. Let's have a city and
citv revenues and expenses. What's
the use of fooling. MKTha half dozen residents on 1st street were represented before the town board on Monday night by a committee asking for an electric street light at the intersection of either Main and 1st or Newton and 1st streets. Their claim is a just one, the way the lights are distributed. One is placed on 2d and Main, to light up the lumber yard and
bog pen, and one at 4th and I lay. to light up the vacant bottom land south of it, and two on 9th street west of Clay, where but two houses are built, to light up the grave yard and lay the ghosts. SMr. John Beiddey told the Board he wanted one to light up bis neigh bood, so that when he came up town after dark, he wouldn't tramp unawares on the poor snakes as he went home.

Escape of Lester aas Hall froaa Jail. Our citiaens were surprised last Friday morning to learn that Lea ter, charged with forgery, and Hall, charged with horse-stealing, had escaped. An examination showed that they bad taken a four inch scantling, about 12 feet long, which had been left in the corridor of the jail, placed it on the top of the cell
crib, and let one end rest on the
west wall of the jail, at an angle of about oO degrees, and that by climbing it they had been enabled to reach the roof of the jail, where it required but small effort to cut through the inch poplar boards and tin roof. They had fastened a number of bed blankets together and let themselves down from the roof to the ground, making their a . a
escape eaay. As it is claimed no
one heard them at work, it is supposed they got out after people gen
erally had gone to bed, though the
time is not known.
When Sheriff Cassidy, about 9
o'clock, Thursday night, went to lock them up for the night in the crib, he glanced at their beds, and
seeing the covers bunched up in the middle remarked that they were in bed, locked the crib door and went out. It is supposed they were then
hiding in the corridor around the cells, where they had been permitted
to go in order to keep up the fire in the stove. They may have been out at that time. When Mrs. Cassidy took in their breakfasts Friday morning ehe unlocked the crib door, and called them to come and eat. An insane man. also in jail, came
out, but Lester and Hall did not. She then called the Sheriff, and upon examination the beds were found the same as he had left them the night before, some of the covering
Total 517.3S On motion the Salary of the Town Marshal was fixed at the rate of 125 per month for the next three months. Dr. F. Mueller was appointed
Secretary of the Board of Heaith for
the year of 1897.
The board also discussed the
propriety of fixing the salary of the water works superintendent at $'2b per year.
Application was made by John
Kuebler for permission to put up
wagon Bcales on Main street in front
f his shop, to occupy 9 by lb feet
f the street. Granted. The Board entered into a new
contract with the Llectnc Light
Company, in accordance with the agreement heretofore made, contracting for 19 arc lamps, 2000 candle power each, to bum on moonlight schedule, and, also, on dark nights, until 1 o'clock, a. ra. for 57.5l) per year for each light, additional lights to be placed as the Board may order them at the same rate, payments to be made the 1st of Januaiy, and July each year, the lighting contract to date from
the 14th day of Dec. 1890, and run ten years. The contract was signed for the town by each of the Trustees, and by the stockholders in the electric light company F. Joseph, J. L. Breti, John F. Salb, John Clramelspacher and Jos. F. Friedman, and duly sealed and attested. The Committee on grading a por
tion of 8th street, reported that they had met in accordance with pub
lished notice, and that no one had appeared to object to the report of the engineer as regards amount due
from property owners on said street, therefore the following amounts were granted the contractor, as against
the lot owners : Town of Jasper, $ 40.00
