Singularly exaggerated ideas concern

LEASE WAS CHANGED
County Commissioners Will Not
SwOOp Down on the City.
The City Has Been Paying Proper
Amount of Rent-Award of Fall
Creek Dyke Work.

One of the County Commissioners, in an
interview last week, stated that the city
of Indianapolis was really under contract
to pay the county s., 600 a year rent for the
basement OF the courthouse, and that the
commissioners might undertake to collect
this back amount, due through the num-
Der of years that have elapsed since the
city entered in the lease The city has
been paying but 81 800 year, and the COM
missioners did not see how the county
had authority for taking SO small amount.
The lease was made in 1878. but the COM
missioners were not familiar with the his
tory of their department, else they would
have known that a change was made in
the lease a year after the original lease
was signed. This change was pointed out
to the commissioners yesterday by a Jour-
nal reporter in the records of the Com
missioners' Court. The commissioners had
tried to find record of such change, but
had been unable to do so.
The original lease provided that the city
should pay $1,000 year for five years from
1873 with the privilege of continuing the
lease for five years further at the same
figure. On March IS. 1880 the commission
ers decided to reduce the rent to $500, as
is shown by the following entry on the
record known No. II:
"The board believing that the interests
of the county are better protected in the
occupancy of the rooms in the lower story
OF the courthouse by the city of Indian
apolis as at present than If
left vacant rented to mis-
cellaneous tenants, and as said city
bears a large proportion of county eX-
penses, ii is hereby ordered that the lease
made with said city and recorded on Dec.
- he sr .,A1 L.,
full force and effect as to all it's terms and
conditions, excepting that instead of $1,000
q year, as is stipulated in said lease, the
said city is released from payment of 81, 2C0
a year of said amount from and after April
l. 1880; and as full compensation and rental
for said premises from and after April
to the expiration of said lease, said city
shall pay to the county treasurer the
amount of 81, 800 for each year, one-fourth
1 of each year"
1t Is q question whether or not this lease,
or rather the changed lease, continues in
force indefinitely at the city's pleasure.
From the reading of the amendment ii is
shown that 1.-The same is continued in full
force and effect" No time is named for
the expiration This m. at not hold, how
ever in a court.
When informed of the change that had
been made In the lease, Commissioner Hun
ter said the commissioners would have the
records searched to see if the city really
paid all of the rent during the years it.has
occupied the basement. On the records
entry of 500 is occasionally shown, but
the commissioners do not believe the city
ever made a pretense of paying the rent
in It's full amount.

TWO DRINKS-SIATY DAYS.
Fireman SayIOr's Fine-PatrOlman
Makessey's SLIGHT Fine.

The Board of Safety held a long session
last night trying a policeman and fire.
man. Timothy Makessey was charged with
conduct unbecoming a police officer. He
was fined seven days pay. Louis Saylor a
driver for hose company No. 3, on Prospect
street. was suspended for sixty days for
taking two glasses Of whisky while on duty
and absenting himself from the house long
enough to take the drinks. Both OF the
drinks contained quinine, he said. He
claimed that he had been suffering from
neuralgia.
The charge against patrolman Makessey
arose out o. the scare to a number of do

out one night, just after having received
complaint from the girls, and he stopped
two policemen, asking them to go TO his
place and watch for the man who was an
noying his employees. Patrolmen Makessey
and Bolan went to the cottage, one enter
ing by the back way and the other by the
front way. The girls were very much
frightened. Patrolman Makessey used
rather rough language to the girls, claiming
that they should be more careful in seeing
that the windows were locked. 1t was not
shown that any indecency was intended in
his language, so the board fined him for
his rough conduct: The girls all testified to
the occurrences of the night
Fireman Saylor was charged with drunk

ORANGE CROP DAMAGED.
Temperature in California Fell a Degree
Lower than i'm 1891.

Los ANGELES. Cal. Jan. s.-The long
dreaded freeze came last night with dis
asst Gus results to the orange groves
throughout the circuit belt of the southern
part of the State. The mercury fell eight
degrees below freezing point, which is one
degree lower than 1t reached during the
cold snap of 1891, when 1t is estimated
that two-thirds of the entire orange crop
OF California was ruined. To-day all sorts
of rumors are in circulation as to the
extent OF the freeze. Some growers de-
clared that the loss will be as heavy as 1t
was two years ago. Others. however, took
a hopeful view and expressed the belief
that only a quarter of crop had been in
jured The lemon crop has suffered very
severely. AS yet no estimate can be made
OF the damage. AdVices received to-day
from points Throughout the circuit belt go
to show that although the freeze was gen.
eral, the extremely low temperature only
reached in exposed places and along de-
pressions in soil. From careful investiga-
tions OF crop In the vicinity of Red Lands
II Is estimated that not more than l per
cent. OF oranges Will show effect of frost
The weather has moderated here and il is
thought there Is no danger of further
freeze.

THE FALL-CREEK DYKE.
Contract Awarded to Mr.. McGafey
Over Mr.. Branham's Protest


Over Mr.. Branham's Protest
The opening of bids for constructing the
Fall-creek dyke, north of Marlette Park
put the Board of Works in a temporary
dilemma yesterday. There were four bids
but the contract lay between Mr.. George
Branham and H. II. McGaffey. whose fig
ures were the lowest submitted. There was
a question as to which contractor was en-
titled to the contract on account of the pc
cuiar wording of the advertisement calling
for bids and the specifications prepared by
ex-City Engineer Mansfield. The dyke and
breakwater is to extend along the south
TO Fourteenth street, and will require S16S
feet of piling for the breakwater and 5.32S
breakwater, $3.50 for the dyke, a. 400 feet
of sheathing for the breakwater and go 600
feet for the levee. In addition to this there
was a certain requirement of stones, and
the dispute hinged on the quantity of stone
to be used. Mr.. Branham bid SO cents a
Gav f4 Bd 81 on tRe SmS Esf the Mr. @
gentleman bid S27.79 a Thousand feet board
measurement, while his competitor bid $50.
The engineers estimate called for $50 cubic
yards of stone to be used in filling, while
from the description in the specifications
just twice this amount would be needed.
Mr.. McGaffey bid $3.50 a yard and Mr..
Branham $3.50. In computing the bids to
see which was the lowest it was found that
taking the estimates of the engineer Mr.
McGaffey had the lowest bid, while if the
Specifications were taken Mr. Branham had
the lowest bid. This difference was brought
about by the difference in bids on the stone.
The two contractors argued the matter
with the board some time, and then the
members retired to their inner chamber.
In about half an hour they came out and
announced that the city engineers estimate
would be considered thus giving the con-
tract to Mr.. McGaffey. His bid aggregates
$4,973.
Mr.. Branham, who was present with his
prospective bondsmen, entered protest, CIV
ing the board formal notice that he was
present to give bond as the lowest bidder
on the work. The board gave no attention
to his protest Mr. McGaffey says that he
will begin work the dyke as soon as
possible, probably within the next two
weeks. AS soon as the work is we'll under
way he will have about fifty men employed

HOPE FOR THE HAIRLESS.
Professor BirlkhOlz, of Chicago, Gives
Hope to Those Afflicted with Bald
ness-A "NO Cure, No Pay" Treat

Prof G.. Birkholz, OF Chicago, the emf
nent German specialist. who for years has
devoted his time and talent to the study
OF the hair follicles. and who has evolved
the most successful treatment for bald
ness the world has ever known, has opened
a branch office in this city at No. 164 North
Delaware street.
He will carefully examine each case and
candidly inform the inquirer whether his
badness can be cured and the hair be re-
stored. These examinations are made with
out charge.
In all cases where there are any hair
follicles remaining undestroyed by age or
disease the Professor will undertake a
cure, and if he does not effect a restora-
ton of the hair he will ask pay.
The remedy is an imported one, and the
treatment given by the Professor is his
own, and cures where all others fail. If
your case has been pronounced incurable
do not take IL a final answer until you
have seen Professor Birkholz and received
his opinion
Many persons have small bald spots
through the hair. These increase In area
and in some produce complete badness.
In such cases the hair fOllicles need nour-
ishment Prompt treatment will bring
them into activity and restore the hair.
The success that has attended Professor
Birkholz everywhere enables him 10 give
a positive opinion in each case presented
TO him. Those who are bald or are threat
ened with badness should not delay
treatment, but call upon the Professor at
once.
