WANTED TO HEAR THE LECTURE

A Sixteen Year Old Girl Leaves Her
Uncle and Causes the Police Some
Trouble.
Ats o'clock last evening man began
rapping on a lamp post near the public
square, and called loudly for the police.
Marshal Gentry, and several officers re-
sponded when the man explained that he
had lost relative. He said that he had
left his niece standing in front of the post
office, at o'clock and when he returned
fifteen minutes later she was nowhere to
be found. Upon inquiry he stated that
her name was Correll and that she is l6
years old and lives five miles north of this
city. 1t appears that the buSom damsel
had expressed desire to go to the opera
house and her uncle had said that it would
be impossible for her to go.
She had no money and no ticket, hence
it would seem impossible for her to get
into the opera house, but nevertheless she
was found there at 10 o'clock in the upper
gallery enjoying the entertainment of the
nenple,s course to the full extent. How
she got in is a mystery and she refused to

Iv and her actions last evening cannot be
accounted for as she has heretofore seem,

The Village of Minerva Loses an Exten-
sion Case,
The County Commissioners were en-
gagged this afternoon in hearing argu.
ments regarding the motion to dismiss
the petition of the village of Minerva to
annex certain territory TO the town. At
torney James Sterling argued the motion
to dlsIniss the case on the grounds thG.s
the petition to annex was not properly
drawn. Attorney Jerome represented the
village of Minerva. Taxpayers outside
the village object to the annexation on
the grounds that it takes territory from
the township and thus makes the per

siop.ers decided that the motion to dismiss

Speaker was rather anxious to give the

LA GRIPPE.
Several Physicians are of the Opinion
That It is Not Epidenaie.

That it is Not Epidemic.
Considerable has been said recently in
regard to the epidemic of la grippe and as
to its prevalence in Canton. Anumber of
local physicians were visited yesterday by
a ws-DEMoCRAT reporter, all of them
expressing about the same opinion.
There is considerable sickness in the city
the symptoms of which closely resemble
the epidemic of last year in some respects
but is not nearly so severe and cannot
properly be called la grippe. In most
cases the trouble consists of severe cold
accompanied by a feeling of weakness.
No serious results from the ailments have
yet occurred and none are looked for. A
cold snap of few days will, in all proba-
bility, have a tendency to put stop to the
sickness.
