Haste makes waste is an old and true
saying. And perhaps its truth was Illus
trated in the repairing Of Main street bridge
at present going on. 1t was built in hurry
and the approaches were never what they
should have been, aud now in order to let
the vessels out from the upper part Of the
harbor no inconsiderable amount Of repairing
has to be done. Such improvements should
be backed with suitable amount Of re-
sources, and some responsible head should
be always present to see that the contract
entered into was duly executed. The city
affairs are eminently important, and the
Mayor should have some recompense for the
time he spends for the benefit of the public.

On Saturday evening last Mr.. Newton
Fisk, while on his way home, was attacked |
On the corner Of Chicago and Park streets !
BY two ruffians, and his pocketbook taken |
rom him. Though deaf and dumb, Mr. |
Fisk was able to make a sound of alarm |
sufficient to attract the attention Of Mr.. |
Samuel Reynolds, who lives near by. Mr.. |
Reynolds went 10 the rescue as soon as |
possible, but was unable to do any available |
assistance. On Monday morning when Mr.. |
Reynolds assumed his position, as he does |
every working day in the year. he found the |
pocketbook and contents, less three cents, in |
he lumber yard west Of the engine house. |
There were two FIVE dollar bills in one corner |
and three pennies in open sight. The |
pennies were taken for gold pieces undoubt-
eddy. You may steal the pennies from a |
lead mans eyes. but to rob deaf mute is |
getting way below the honor that is due
even to thieves. When it comes to this that
officers are attacked, unprotected women are
nsulted, and the unfortunate and infrm are |
assailed, then something should be done to |
purify the moral atmosphere of our city, or |
else we shall have small pandemonium in |
which none of us would delight to dwell

Charles Coleman made himself quite con- |
,picuous on Saturday last in Harris saloon, |
creating considerable disturbance. Deputy
Sheriff Halliday took him in charge and held |
him at bay for some time, though he very
stoutly resisted, and, being moret han an or |
binary muscular man, could resist almost any |
attempt to arrest him indeed. he claimed |
20 officer could arrest him. Mr.. Halliday |
called on some of the bystanders to assist |
him, but they shrunk from the duty. Officer |
Harkins soon appeared on the scene and |
contest ensued between officer and prisoner. |
Harkins got the better of his man and threw
him on the walk, and, while graphing with
him, Coleman took the officers thumb in his
mouth and bit SO as to crush the bone. Not. |
this, the officer took his man
along but was again assaulted by him, when
the City Marshal came up, and the two took
the man to the +" House of Tramps." Still he
resisted, and when an attempt vas made to
search Coleman at the Jail he made stout
and was only overpowered by
superior force. Coleman was brought be-
fore Justice NORM on Monday and fined
twenty-five dollars and costs or three months
