w. Joyce: / have the contract for fur
niShing the fire department with barley
and bran. The advertisement under
which l bid called for barley, and my
contract calls for barley. When the con-
tract was drawn the city attorney fully
understood that it was for whole barley,
for he so informed me at the time When
began to deliver under my contract the
assistant chief Of the department in
sisted on having rolled barley, which
have furnished. l have therefore put in
q bill for rolling charges on the barley,
which l ask you to approve, as cannot

BOARD OF HEALTH
A Session to Consider Proposed Changes
in the Garbage Ordinance

The board of health met in the may
or's office yesterday afternoon and spent
some time in discussing the ordinance
providing for the disposal of the garbage
of the city. There has been more or
less trouble over the collection and dis
position of the city's garbage, and nu-
nerous complaints have been made to
the health department. j. B. Franklin
OF the firm of contractors who have
charge af this branch of the city's
business appeared before the board and
explained the situation at some length.
He pointed out the obstacles in the way
of giving general satisfaction, and
thought that certain changes should be
made in the ordinance and the contract
which would result for the general good.
He thought that If proper sanitary gar
bage cans were adopted and the spec
ifications were changed so as to permit
of the collection of garbage in the resi-
dence portion Of the city in the early
morning hours much good would result
and q fruitful cause of complaint would

SELF-DENIAL WEEK.
The Salvation Army Actively Preparing
for It's Great Work.

The Salvation army is alive and ac-
lively engaged in preparing for it's an
nual self-denial week, which takes
place throughout the United States from
November 18th to 22d, inclusive.
Large sums of money have been raised
in past years, and it isNa wonderful tes-
tinony to the army's development and
activity. Each member of the army,
as we'll as the friends of it's many social
institutions, are asked to abstain from
all luxuries, and in many cases officers
and soldiers have actually determined TO
do without certain articles Of food which
are ordinarily considered necessary, in
order that by their acts of self-denial
they may add financial support to the
army and its many different branches
of work. The social operations through
out America have been greatly develop
ed during the past twelve months; new
food and shelter depots have been open
ed in New York, San Francisco and Kan
sas City respectively. AS a natural con-
sequence, therefore, the demands upon
the army's funds have increased and
this will require still greater effort to
raise a correspondingly increased
amount during this self-denial week.
The total aimed at is $4,000.

a Holocaust at Benton HarbOT, Mich.
BENTON HARBoR, Mich. Sept. s.-The
most horrible holocaust that ever hap

fight to save the building and other
blocks adjoining II fremen, one a vol

Several others met with severe bruises
and burns. During the evening the
play "a Factory Girl" had been given
by local talant, and had closed but a
half hour before the fire was discov-
cred. Then the building was filed
from basement to the fourth story
with a suffocating smoke, which burst
into sheet of fame throughout the
entire audience room almost insten-
taneously, and before the fire depart
ment could respond with a single
stream of water. St. Joseph was called
on for assistance at the outset, they
approaching the building through an
alley, unloading ladders in the rear of
the building, and while hosting them
the upper walls fell over without a
seconds warning, covering the men.
This was witnessed by hundreds Of
