here on visit to Mrs. Fred Parker.
1t is understood that the w. A. P.

Fred Hannahs, just while he's rest
ing, takes side trip occasionally and
comes back home with a carload order
for cribs in his inside pocket. That's
what he did Monday and didn't half
try.
"A very tall man named Mccarthy,
measuring 8 feet inches, is under ar
rest for being drunk Monday night.
1t is not known whether the fine will
fit the size OF the man or the enormity
of the misdemeanor.

move his family up here this week to

There were 488 of the street lamps
out during the last month according to
the report of Chief Stemm to the coun-
Gil meeting Monday evening. Therefore,
Aid. Yule moved that the electric light
people be paid only $500 for the months

Not word was said about an

meeting Monday evening except at the
point of adjourning when Aid. McGiv

From some unaccOuntable reason
the sewers of Evanston are giving forth
terrific odors and many people have
been made deathly sick by the poison

crude oil refuse in the sewers and broke
out last night from some peculiar at
mospheric conditions.
Mrs. G. P. Barnes, the public lib
strrian, has returned from Milwaukee,
where she went to learn something OF
the routine of library work. She re-
turns with an immense amount
of enthusiasm and despair combined,
realizing that she has a terribly big
lob before her. When she asked the
cata!oguer of the Milwaukee library
how long she thought it would take to
