postoflice department of its free city delivery system tho city officials arc arranging an entirely new system of naming tho streets of the city and an ordinance covering the matter is now in preparation and will shortly be promul gated The new system in fine provides for designating the names of the streets running from south to north by the letters of the alphabet that is what is now known as Railroad street will be styled A street Dennison street will be B street and so on north to the end of tho platted streets of the city The streets running east and west will be designated by numbers using Main avenue as the center and retain ing that name that is Marshall street will be 1st street east or east 1st street and Manchester will be 1st street west or west 1st street and so on to the last platted street both east and west This will provide for any probable expansion the city may have without changing the system and provides the simplest possible manner of designating streets the system now being used in late methods of naming streets Under the new plan one now living at the corner of Main avenue and Da kota street will be at corner of Main and 1st street west A resident of Marshall and Dearborn will be at the corner of E and 1st street east This will be a radical change but is easily understood and with a little at tention by the people of the city will soon be grasped and the matter of dir ecting strangers in the city will be much simplified All streets will be designated by signs and all houses and business places in the city will be compelled to have their proper numbers indicated on their buildings Down Town Next Week Col Sutton and his spell binders pleased the usual large crowd in the city park last evening- By arrange ment the concerts will

practically in dispensable to the average American citizen And this suggests that good meat is more desirable and essential than indifferent or poor articles Sell ing good meats is the exclusive business of D C Marsh To be able to sell good meats you must be able to know good beef cattle when you see them That is part of Mr Marshs business He goes farther when he sees good ones he buys them And then the pro cess of placing the best meat in the world before his customers is the regu lar every day routine of his market And good meats at his shop are just as cheap as poorer articles Many
