During the day the sidewalks on Pop
lar street, especially up town, have been
almost continually crowded with children
and older people since the street cars began

The October number of "The Poultry
Monthly" published by the Ferris Pub
fishing Co., Albany, N. Y, is as usual full
of useful hints to all who are interested in
fine poultry, pigeons, fine breeds of dogs
or other pets The subscription price Is
only one dollar q year, and it seems to us
as though no farmer or fancier can afford to
do without it at ten times the price.
City Jailer, Has. Martin was out with
gang of three city prisoners yesterday
doing much needed and effectual
work on Sixth street, between
Washington avenue and Walnut street

street and the earth had been dropped in
irregular heaps from one end to the other,
rendering driving over it not only very un
comfortable, but even dangerous. Mr..
Martins gang leveled it off nicely.
