Little Lads Sent on an Errand Fail to
Return to Their Homes.
Last night two anxious parents appeared
at the City Prison in search OF their lost
boys. 1t appears that about o'clock yes
terday afternoon Mrs. Nichols, who resides
at 1926 Second street, sent her seyen-year-
old son frankie to store TO make small
purchase, and he secured the company of a
playmate, Henry schellinger, aged eight
years, whose parents reside at 1926 Third
street. The boys did not return, and late
in the afternoon their parents set out to
look for them. Learning nothing of the
little wanderers, they finally visited the
Station house, thinking that perhaps the
boys had got lost and had been taken
there. But the police had no tidings of
them.
The parents were sorely distressed last
night, fearing that perhaps the children
had gone TO the river to swim and been
drowned. There was one ground for the
hope. however, that such fate had not
befallen them, and that was the fact that
| the boys have never been in the habit of
going to the river. Bat the very fact that
| they have not been given to running away
| from home jas,ifes the fear that something
| had happened to them.
frankie Nichols wore dark brown suit
with knee-pants, black stockings and a
| straw hat. His companion wore a white
waist, short dark pants and canvas hat.

The City Trustees yesterday passed an
ordinance prohibiting the improvement or
repairing of any wooden awnings II the
district bounded by Front and Twelfth,
and L streets. This is another step in the
right direction, and its good results will
soon become manifest Much of the credit
for the passage of such an ordinance is due
to G. A. Luhrs, President of the Improve
ment Association, who has been untiring
in his efforts in that direction.
Another good work done by the Trustees
is the condemnation of certain dilapidated
sidewalks. At the rate progress is being
made in this direction, ii will not be long
until the sidewalks in goodly portion of
the business blocks will be largely of the
patent stone or cement.

The irrepressible Mary Cook appeared
before Judge Buckley again yesterday.
Officer Ash hauled her in early in the
morning for scattering choice billingsgate

As Mary left she treated officer Ash to a
