Platt Mcdonald is putting In a
gutter in front OF his residence on
Center street. 1t Is put down to the
established grade of that street re-
Gently made by the City Engineer,
and is quite two feet below the level
OF the street. At that rate the grade
on this street will lower the street
in front OF G.. S. Cleaveland's resi-
dence by at least three feet. To the
uninitiated observer this thing of eter-
nalIy cutting down the streets looks
very mysterious. Center stree t
needs some kind OF grading to make
it assume good shape, but would it
not be more economical to do a little
filling instead OF so much uutting?
Below the M. e. church and to the
LaPorte street crossing there should
be fill to bring it up to a level; and
IL it is made little higher than the
present grade OF LaPorte street it
would certainly put it into a better
shape. Then the Center street grade
need not be made so low by foot,
or such a matter. Thus the cost
would be much less, and for beauty
the street could not be improved.
This grading business needs more of
the attention of our people. What
ever is done in the way of grading
should at least have the appearance
OF economy il not necessity.

Dastardly Outrage.

On Tuesday evening at about
o'clock shot was fired into the Win
dow Of G.. r. Chaney's residence on
Michigan street with the evident in
tentiop of killing Mrs Clancy. II
has been a custom OF hers to sit at
the east window OF the family sitting
room with her back towards and
near the window on the south side of
the room. On Tuesday evening a
blue muslin curtain being drawn
down over the window, some fellow
placed a pistol against the wire
screen and fired, the ball passing in
exact range OF her accustomed place
OF sitting. The ball crashed
through he door which stood wide
open on the east side OF the house
then went through the wall and stri-
king the back OF a bookcase in an
other room, fell to the floor. 1t Is a
large ball, probably 80 caliber. Mrs
CLANCY had just returned from put.
ting her little boy to bed. but had
fortunately seated herself ut the door
thus saving her life. When she was
putting the boy to bed he remarked
that he heard some one open the
gate but she thought nothing. The
would be murderer had evidently
stood close to the south window and
when she had seated herself, in what
he supposed the fatal chair, had fred
The pistol was so close co the window
that the curtain was set en- fire and
was burning when Mrs. easier, and
other neighbors, who were alarmed
by the shot and screams arrived.
Mr.. CLANCY came in, in a few mo-
ments, having been on his way home
when the shot was fired. The curl
Gus part Of the affair is that Mrs.
Clancy is a lady who is acknowl-
edged OF the best temperament-a
good woman in every sense of the
term, and against whom no one In
the world can have the slightest
cause for the least i'll will. Who
should attempt her life is the mys-
terry that puzzles our citizens. Lit
tie over a month has elapsed since
an assault was made on Mrs. Clancy
by what was supposed to be tramp,
and this more desperate attempt to
murder her has created great agita-
ton in the community. The people
should aid Mr.. Clancy by every
means to discover who was the per-
son that would attempt such das-
tardly crime. 1t is proposed that the
city offer reward Of 800 for the ap-
prehension Of the miscreant.

Pruning Roses.

Roses, to produce large flowers, must be
pruned severely every year; hence, the advice
given applies to roses Of any age, provid ed
they have been cut back before. Old plants
having been allowed their full Development,
must, however, not be cat back as much as
plants that have had an annual shstening in
since the beginning, as the cutting back must
take place upon wood OF previous years
growth. Old bushes must be dealt with more
sparngly, the superabundance of wood re-
duced, and the young shoots shortened IN.
Running roses must be pruned upon the
spur sysem, leaving the main branches IN
touched, but reducing the laterals to two or
three eyes each. Spring blooming moss ros-
es should not be pruned back too much in
winter they are best trimmed after the flow
ers have passed in summer. Tea and China
Roses, from their peculiar habit, may be
pruned less than hybrids, class that will sell
dom give flowers showing their full perfection,
unless the wood is annually renewed. This
severe annual pruning will, however. exhaust
the plant after six or eight years, but, in COM
pensation in thus shortening their existence
a much more perfect blooming is secured than
could be expected if plants are left I'M
pruned.
