The contract for the band stand was $1.400 and of this $900 had been allowed on a former estimate. The band stand was erected by the board In anticipation that the motor company would furnish music during the pant summer as It had done the previous year , but the Sunday afternoon band concerts failed to materialize , as all the bands were employed at the exposition , The board decided to dispense with the services of the caretaker at Cochran park during the winter months , but decided to retain Caretaker Lamb nt Falrmount park at the reduced salary of J10 per month and Caretaker Walleen at Bayllss park at $20 a month during winter. After some discus- ' slou It was also arranged to pay Caretaker Byerly at Lake View $5 per month during the winter.

The wrecks for the year are fourteen vessels , a total of eighty-two men drowned , twenty-three wives widowed and ; flfty-flvo children made orphans. The losses j will approximate $170,000. The terrible gales i which raged on the banks during October , I 1897 , are undoubtedly responsible for the losses of three vessels and their cntlro crews , while the scrips of gales which prevailed - > vailed during the winter also brought the fate of many a Gloucester fisherman.

It will bo twen ty-nine days of the most disagreeable weather any regiment has yet experienced , for not many of the days will be warm ' enough for comfort ! and the small stoves In the cattle barns are about as much serv ice as a cinder dropped from a passing loco motive. A large number of the members of the regiment , which is under the command of Coiohel Lambert , arrived in the city to day and reported at Camp McKlnlpy. It is deemed necessary to have thirty days for the muster out , since It was discovered that the muster out of the Fifty-second meant night and day work. , The muster out of the Fifty-second regiment Included 1,15 : : en listed men and forty-six officers. There were absent eighty-one enlisted men and three officers.

If not , she wants the court to de clare their marriage contract a legal wed ding. This contract sets forth that it was made to waive all ceremonies of church and state. She asks an Jttaohment of $300 on his goods. The petition says she was not 18 when they agreed to bo married ; that she became of age October 18 and she believes It was Fitch's Intention to abandon her , as hp had concealed their marriage agreement. He was haunt ] over to the grand Jury today. Proceedings will bo begun against FItoh for practicing medicine without a state permit and for practicing under an assumed name.

Cousins of the Fifht district of Iowa addressed a largo republican meeting in the opera house In Bloux City tonight. It was a representative ' gathering and one -which reflected the strong republican sentiment in Sioux City. It had been feared that the largo number of men employed nt the Sioux City stock yards and packing houses were Inclined to favor A. S. Garretson , the fusion candidate , Instead of Lot Thomas , the republican nominee , so this rally was put entirely In the hands of this element of Sioux City and the experi ment was a success. Several hundred packIng - , Ing house employes and stockmen appeared wearing yellow badges on their coats. Mr. I Cousins delivered an excellent speech and one which appealed to the business sense of his hearsrs. Ho pointed out the true situa tion to the laboring man , how they now are at work , whereas during the democratic regime they were Idle and the packing houses were closed. Mr. Cousins' talk stim ulated the republican ticket and cleared up the fear of apathy In the party. It was the closing rally of the local campaign. IIll ? Uenl In Tlrnl IXule. FORT DODGE , la. .

NO FEvifi IN SANTIAGO Cooler \Vonther HUM Tome niul There IH No Further t'ne for the Hospital StntT There. SANTIAGO. Nov. 1. Gcneial Leonard Wood , governor of the military department of Santiago , authorizes the statement that there has not besu u cnse of yellow fever In Santiago city during the last six days and that the ordinary sickness during the same period has been greatly less than usual at this season of the year. In view of the fact that a good many people ple have been unnecessarily frightened by fictitious tales of sulfcrlng , General Wood asks that all applicants to the various so cieties for old be referred to him , If the case is a really needy ono ho will ludorso the ap plication. General Wood does not wish to bo understood as saying that no private assist ance is wanted in Santiago. On the con trary , much will still be needed , though the present supply is ample for present contin gencies. Ho warmly commends the Red Cross society for continuous help nnd for supplies \\hlch , under the direction of of ficers appointed by him , have been effectively distributed. It Is now expected that within the next fifteen days the staff of the yellow fever ' hospital will be abolished. It has been maintained merely to care for a. few susi i pccted caeos , and as the cooler weather Is now here HE further services are not needed. The leading Cubans are very anxious to ha\c j their people return to work. They are pre paring plans to bo laid before the govern ment that will enable all Insurgents who are willing to work to get employment in building rnlhvnja In various parts of the island. Tbo Idea will be to pay for the lines by local taxation , the roads thus becoming government property and eventually rcNert- iug to the Cubans. It Is believed that 10,000 men now Idle can be given regular employ ment in this way. The United States transport Victor , which leaves tomorrow for the United States , will carry a number of sick to Hampton Roads and New York City. It will alho take the bodies of a number of United States soldiers killed in action. These have been placed In hermetically sealed cotllns. Fears are expressed here today that the former Spanish cruiser Infanta Mirla Teresa , which left Guantanarao bay on Saturday for the Unl.cil States , accompanied t > y the re pair ship Vulcan , may have met tilth a hurricane on Sunday night. Telegraph wires will bo stretched im mediately to Hoiguln to bring the regiment stationed there Into Immediate communica tion wlih the officers hero. Santiago newspapers are asking General Wood to appoint a civilian am mayor of the | city and he will probably designate Senorj Leonardo Rlos. who was mayor under the , Spanish regime and wad appointed by Gen eral Shatter the first civil governor afier the American occupation , h Idlnx the of.lce for several wi-cks. Senor Hlos Is a Cuban by birth. Formerly ho was an autonomist , but j at present ho Is , apparently , Identified with the extremist section of the Cuban party. A representative negro has written a letter to General Wood demanding that tha negroes I who , ho suys , ronntltuta a largo majority of the population nf the province , shall tool given their rlghfs and hnnounclng his Inten- ' tlon. to form a Jabor party composed of blacks.
