THE MUSEUM.

The museum last evening drew a large
audience This pleasant resort appears to be
growing in favor.
The freaks in the curiosity hall appear to
have made number of friends, and have
during the past week accepted several invl-
tations TO dine out. The Dufranes, the glass
eaters, were up to the Manhattan the other
day at Mr Roberts invitation, and some
cruel minded guests said they devoured all
the goblets for dessert.
There will be several new and striking
curiosities introduced during the coming
week.
The organization of the stock company for
dramatic performances is almost completed,
and when all the necessary arrangements are
conaumated some very pleasing entertain
ments will be given upon the neat and COM
plete little stage in the audience hall.

CITY COUNCIL
Held Quiet Meeting Last Night and Settled
the Right OF Way Question of the
Kansas Midland.

| A special meeting Of the city council was
called last evening at 7:30 O'Clock for the
purpose of considering the question of grant
ing the Kansas Midland a right of way into
the city His honor, the mayor was in the
chair and CouReilmen Healy, Carey, Harris.
Stone, Richey, Brown, Allen, Kenyon and
Hoff, present
| 1t seems that it was not intended that the
public should know anything of the meeting
so that as little excitement should prevail as
possible But few besides those interested
in the road were present.
1t will be remembered that the ordinance
submitted by the company asked privilege
to select a right of way from the following
streets and avenues: Wichita street, Fourth
avenue, Washington avenue and Hydraulic
avenue.
Ever since that ordinance has been before
the council each member of that body
has been daily besieged by people who OPP
posed allowing that company SO much free
dom and further seemed anxious that 10
more streets than what was absolutely neces-
sary be set apart for the use of railroads.
committee to refuse the company any OF the
streets and avenues mentioned in the Ordl
nance.
The committee decideded to recommend
No,eiy avenue and acted accordingly. The
report was adopren by the council without
dissentin. vote. So as it stands the Kansas
Midland will enter the city by Aosley av-
enue. The route as specified III the
ordinance allows tho road TO
enter the north limits OF the
city on Washington avenue until it reaches
the Frisco road. 1t then goes west on Dover
to Mosley avenue, and Ninth and Mosley to
the south limits of the city.
1t is intimated in council circles that an
other important road viii also be given Mos
ley avenue as a right of way. In other words
the idea of inviting two or more roads to
use one street seems to be gaining ground
Already Mosley avenue has been granted to
two roads, with indications that it will be
granted to another
