the couDeilmen Were soon jn their re-
speet;ve places.
! Controller Murff turned the crank
and the music began.
There was something SAID about
the COW ordinance This matter was
lost in the scramble that occurred by
some one referring to the moving of
the Belt Line switch uear Abe Mey-
er's to point on Jordan street. The
presence OF three or four residents of
that locality who were there TO object.
caused some of the council to at once
change their minds of the previons
meeting, and at once begin TO hunt
place to locate it, regardless of the fact
that if it were injurious to one per
son it would be equally SO to any one
else. Mr.. Scofeld, who is always
the friend Of corporations, was salts
fled to locate it anywhere and moved |

Greenwood street. Mr.. Youree want
ed to 20 on record as voting for the
motion that if the street was too mar
row for one it was equally so for
others. The graveing of the switch
called forth wild storm of oratory
from Mr. Randall that has not been
equalled by any Senator in their long
and stormy session.
The next order of business was the
reading of the tax ordinance. After
much discussion and receiving the
opinion of City Attorney Jones as TO

allow him to explain his vote.

/. Again we are impelled to say some
thing to our police jury in regard to
the fixing up the four sides of our

otherwise. Have they become cal

IN the murder of Smith by Antone Wood, a little eleven year old boy, it was shown by the defen1e that the boy ate five meals day and from three to four eggs with a cup Of strong coffee with each meal. The doctor, claimed that such diet was bound to affect his moral constitution and to lower it. From this standpoint giving coffee to minors ought to constitute a criminal offense as well as an offense against the laws of hygiene.

If walk ont with her, l use all my en- deavors to keep close to her side, but she whisks sway from me as though had some catching distempcr about me. In short, sir. l begin to despair of ever coming in close contact with her.
