volunteered the information. "See here.
| don't get too sassy or I'll pull you in
anyway" The officer followed Mrs.
Michel until she met her landlord. Then
the fresh officer sneakingly intimated
that he might have been mistaken, and
ported to the police station, where Mrs.
| Michel was told to see the captain. She
| offered to produce character witnesses
who would also testify as to the facts
| incidental to her treatment by the I'M
known policeman as they actually &C.
| Cured.
| There appeared to be disposition by
| the board when the complaint was yes
terday read to treat the matter some
what lightly. Upon motion of Commits
sioner Long, however. the matter was
turned over to Chief Glass for investi-
cation. The chief will not, by the way,
| be home for ten days yet.
| The board yesterday recommended
that the council amend ordinance 1897
fixing all hitching weights at 20 instead
| of 10 pounds.
| Commissioner Guy r. Barham being
still absent from the city, Commissioner
Long was yesterday named by the may
| or to serve as a member of the special

NO LAW AGAINST 1T.
The council will pass an anti-Sunday
circus ordinance.
A special session of the city council
has been called for tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock for the purpose of adopting
an ordinance making it a misdemeanor
punishable by a fine or Imprisonment
or both for any circus to either parade
or give performance on Sundays. The
object of the proposed legislation is to
shut out the Wallace shows, which are
billed to be here next Sunday.
1T was discovered after the council
had on Monday ordered the city
clerk to issue no license for perform
ance on that day that the circus people
could give a show in the city just the
same, owing to the absence Of any di-
rect legislation bearing on the subject
1t is known on the other hand that
owing to the high license prevailing
ATdnAd arr sl
ably, when they arrive, pitch their tents
at Agricultural park, which is outside
the city limits They have already sig
nified their intention of paying the coun-
ty and not the city license, and should
they adhere to their purpose they can
laugh at the municipal authorities, both
so far as the Sunday as well as their
other performances are concerned, and
still have the best of the argument.
THE CITY AND THE FOURTH
There Is lots of opposition to any
municipal assistance this year.
Whether or not the city will this
year contribute any financial support
bration has not yet been officially deter
mined. The finance committee of the
council will consider the matter on
Saturday The Fourth Of July execu-
tive committee has made request for
an appropriation Of $4,000, and If any
IIOHey Is LuTneu over IL Will be not
more than $1,000. Several members of
the council, in fact the majority of them
are opposed to any appropriation what
soever, owing to the citys present fl
nancial condition. but they are afraid
of antagonizing the American Protec-
tive association whose membership is in
charge of the Forthcoming celebration.
The custom from time almost imme-
mortal has been for the city to contrib
ute something for the purpose. Should
any appropriation be made, there is
some talk of an injunction to prevent
the treasurer from paying over the
cash.
