"A BOY named Dobbins was run in
to by boy on a bicycle on a sidewalk
yesterday and was slightly damaged.
The boy on the wheel was about
twelve years old and the other boy
about three years old. The careless
ness of some of the young boys riding
on the walks when the roads are good
is bringing use of the walks by careful
riders in muddy weather into disre-
pute, and ought to be stopped by the
police. Judgment can be exercised
so as to satisfy all parties.
AT their meeting last night, the
Building and Loan association had
calls for about $4,000 by parties who
desire to build and improve homes.
Most of the loans asked for were
granted. This association is doing a
splendid thing for those with moderate
means, as it enables them to own
property which they would otherwise
be unable to. 8a

WANTS TO SETTLE.
ATTORNEY JONES, OF CHICAGO,
WAITS ON c. III. SAULPAUGH.
Makes Proposition to Compromise
the Case and Drop it==Mr. Saulpaugh
Takes a Counter Offer and the
Lawyer VIII Consult Mrs. Stein.

w. NJ. Jones, of Chicago, one of Mrs.
Victoria A. Stems attorneys in her
breach of promise action against G. III.
Saulpaugh, paid the city a visit today.
The object of his visit was to reach a
compromise on the case and drop it
before an appeal is taken to the SUI
preme court. While the exact amount
of his offer has not been made public,
it is believed that Mr.. Jones wanted
to receive between 81, 900 and So, 900 as
the price Of dropping the suit. Mr..
Saulpaugh refused to comply, but of
fered to give his note for 500 if the
case would be dropped on the spot.
He did this simply as a business
proposition, prefering to pay this sum
to standing the expense of an appeal.
Mr.. Jones thought this was so far
from his proposition that it would be
necessary to consult Mrs. Stein, and
left this afternoon for Chicago for the
purpose.
Mr.. Jones, Attorney Plymat and w.
B. Davies waited on Judge Severance
at the latter's home today and asked
for an extension of time in which the
plaintiff might prepare a case for an
appeal to the supreme court. When
the jury came in, stay of thirty days
was granted by the court, and by a
stipulation of the parties further
stay of thirty days was secured. This
will expire April 18th, and no
move for an appeal has been
taken so far as has been heard Of.
II doe Severance has not taken
any action, but may extend the time
to May 1st. What will become of the
case can only be conjectured. B. d.
Smith believes THAT Mr.. Jones has no
authority to settle for Mrs. Stein.

AMBOY VOTES LICENSE.

The village election at Amboy yes
terday was warm one, the question
of license or no license being the main
issue. The village voted license by
twenty-five majority. During the
past year there has been no license,
and several blind pig cases have been
the result, giving the village a worse
reputation than licensed saloons
would, and bringing in no revenue
The decisive majority for license
shows that the people of Amboy as a
whole do not like this state of affairs.

SCARCITY OF WATER.

Farmers from as far as three or four
miles are coming to the city with
tanks for water, owing to the fact
that their wells and cisterns are dry.
One man came in yesterday from near
Hodapps' mill, four miles south Of
the city, to fill a tank, and stated
that between his farm and Mankato
there are not three wells with water
in them. This is very unfortunate
for farmers having stock, and shows
the great need of rain for other pur-
poses than to help the crops.

Spring Time

Is when nearly everyone feels the
need of some blood purifying, strength
invigorating and health producing
medicine. The real merit of Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the reason of its wide
spread popularity. Its unequalled sue.
whole system is susceptible to the
most good from a medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla taken at this
time, and we would lay special stress
upon the time and remedy, for his
tory has it recorded that delays are
dangerous. The remarkable success
achieved by Hoods Sarsaparilla, and
the many words of praise it has re-
ceived, make it worthy of your conf
dence. We ask you to give this medi,
cine fair trial.

Very Youthful Love Affair.

Just think of it! A ten-year-old
wooer and a ten-year-old "wooee" in a
New York police court. The babe was
charged by the little miss with forcing
his attentions upon her, much to her
annoyance. When the small prisoner
was placed at the bar only the top of
his head was visible, In the severest
tones the magistrate asked: "What
have you to say for yourself, young
man?" In steady voice, large for his
years and stature, the devoted one re-
piled: Il wuzn't doin' nuthin' to the
lady. only asked her to have sody
with me-" At this the pretty little
prosecutrix smiled sarcastically and re-
iterated her charge. Then the cadi
severely lectured the young man" and
told him to cease his wooing if he would
retain his freedom. The woes of life
apparently begin in the nursery nova
daYS.

theft and description of the property
had been telephoned to every precinct
in the city and to all the suburban
towns and were known to every officer
on duty. In little village about ten
miles from the center of Tokyo a man
entered tea house during the after
noon and showed q card upon which
Mr.. Morse's name was engraved. Tea
houses in Japan correspond with sa-
looms in the United States as resorts
for loafers and the crooked classes, and
the policemen watch them accordingly.
The nesans, as the waiter girls are
called, coquette with the policemen and
often aid them in the performance of
their duty. So it was perfectly natural
for the policeman on that beat 20 tell
the nesans the story of the robbery and
it was equally so for this nesan to report
to the policeman about Mr.. Morse's
card. The circumstance was suspicious
enough to justify an arrest, and before
night the thief was in the central sta
tion at Tokyo He had the pocketbook
and all the papers on his person, but
had spent most of the money in spree
the night before and had been robbed
of the remainder during drunken stu
por that followed.

EX- EMPRESS CARLOTTA.
Her Unhappy Life Is Rapidly
Drawing to a Close.
Court Gossip Has 1t That Her Death VIII
BE the Signal for Lnwsuit in which
Royalty VIII Bo tho Con-
testing Parties.

On the 10Th of September all Mex
loans celebrated the anniversary of
their national declaration of independ-
ence (enacted 1870, while in the lonely
castle of Bouchoute, near Brussels, the
life of one who paid for the dream of q
Latin empire by the loss of husband
and of her reason was slowly ebbing
away.
EX-Empress Charlotte is dying, and
even her bitterest enemies - If the
royal lunatic has not outlived the last
of those who suffered by Maximilian's
infamous black decree-will scarce be-
grudge the poor woman this final
crumb of comfort; no one except the
king of the Belgians.
And this statement the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat explains as follows:
Leopold II. is the eldest brother of
the ex-empress, and as the head of
the family appointed himself admins
TRAITOR of the enormous fortune left by
her father, the first of his name and
dynasty. Leopold the elder entered
the newly ly-created kingdom in 1881 as a.
penniless Coburg prince, and died
thirty-four years later two hundred
times millionaire, leaving his riches
to his two sons, Leopold II. and the
count of Flanders, and his daughter,
Princess Carlotta, who at the time had
just fastened the imperial diadem of
Mexico on her bow.
The empress was declared insane by
the organs of the vatican, October 4,
1868. On June 10, 1867, the Latin en-
pire on the American continent ended
with the execution of Maximilian. The
marriage of this singularly unfortunate
couple had not been blessed with chill
dren; there was nothing and nobody to
interfere with the continuance of Leo
pold's administration of the $4,000, 900
francs estate left to the empress, which
at first he had assumed only Temporal
rily.
These $4,000, 900 francs have now been
for thirty long years in Leopolds hands
that is. in the keeping of a person
who, by reason cf his high station, Is
