MAYOR HAS SIGNED
THE ORDINANCE
Measure Providing for a South Side
Sewer Became Law.
WHEN NAME WAS ATTACHED TO 1T
Ordinance Received His HonOr's
Approval Monday Night, but This
Fact Was Not Known Until After
the Document Was Placed in Clerk
Lavclle's Hands Ycstcrday--Ncws
Promptly Carried to the South side.

Mayor Bailey has signed the South
Side sewer ordinance as The Tribune
predicted. He affixed his signature to
the measure after office hours on Mon
day afternoon and it was delivered to
City Clerk Lavelle yesterday morning.
There had developed some question
as to when expired the fifteen days in
which he might legally sign the ordi
nance, so rather than take chances on
its becoming operative without his APP
proval Mayor Bailey signed it Monday
instead of waiting until yesterday.
However, the mayors intended DISPOSE
tion of the measure was not made
known to the city hall reporters for the
reason that the news would have les
sened the effort to injure the election
chances of Common Councilman Geo
Wirth, jr., of the Nineteenth word.
The object of Withholding his sigma
ture was to make it appear that Mr.
Wirth, who is Republican, had,
against the wishes of property owners,
supported on third reading an un-
popular project.
At the last moment his honor was
obliged to partly show his hand. AL
though he had intimated that he would
not dispose of the ordinance until to-
day, he signed it the same day he gave
out that statement Con Monday, but
the fact had to be made public when
the ordinance with the signature at
| tached was delivered to the city clerk
| yesterday morning. The news was
carried to the South Side at noon and
the attempt to injure Mr.. Wirth was of
but little consequence.

pecally at such low and reasonable
prices. Mrs. Brennan, soprano soloist,

A THREATENING BLAZE.
Breaker and Powder House We're
JeOpardiZcd for n Time.

Shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday
morning fire broke out in the wash
house at the Pine Brook breaker.
Two alarms We're sent in simultane-
o3sly, one from box l6 at the corner Of
Penn and Vine and the other from box
1l6 corner of Wyoming and Olive. This
caused the firemen to become some
what mixed W. and some of the com
panes We're late in arriving.
Fortunately the delay was not costly
although it might have been for the
breaker and a shanty containing fifteen
kegs of powder We're in close proximity
TO the burning building and had the
flames gotten a little more headway
there is no telling what damage might
have resulted.
The fremen knowing what depended
on their efforts worked like Trojans
and succeeded in preventing the blaze
from spreading and saved the building
from total destruction, The building
was 2Ox50 feet. The loss is fully COW
cred by insurance.

GRIP AND MEASLES.
Two Complaints That Are General
Throughout the CITY,

AT no time this winter has there been
such prevalence of the grip and other
mild forms of contagious disease. To
the board of health yesterday We're re-
ported . new cases of measles, of ty-
phoid fever, of scarlet fever and / of
diphtheria.
That is the largest total number re-
ported in any one day this winter. The
changes in the weather are assigned
as the cause. The grip is not among the
contagious diseases reported but the
disease is general throughout the city.

Again we are to have a night of roll
licking good laughter. "Charley's
Aunt" and her smiling Thomas cat
Will visit us again Thursday evening
at the Academy of Music. This COM
edy, without a doubt, has proved one
of the greatest sources of amusement
that has ever been seen on the Amer
lean stage, or any other stage for all
that. On her former visit here she
made great many friends, and we an
ticipate that she will duplicate her last
success.
Harry William s'great play, "A Bow
cry Girl" illustrating life on the East
Side of the metropolis, will be the at
traction a. the rockingham next Fri
day and Saturday. This play has been
one of the greatest successes known
on the road, having played upward of
800 times and its great success may
be attributed to it's clever characters
to be found on the Bowery. A new
company, the principal of whom are
Miss Grace Sherwood, Carrie Ezier,
Mamie Ryan, Ellen Jones, Harry
Brinsley, NJ. j. Cody, Andy Aman,
John Daily and others. The action of
the play will be enlivened by an intro
! ties. The sale of seats opens this
morning and popular prices will pre-
vail.
THE Pulse of New York" (newest
edition), returns to Davis February
IS, 19 and 20, and lovers of real COM
edy and genuine sensation will have
what may be termed the bone of con-
tentment" of those two particular
branches of entertainment. THE
! Pulse" returns in it's newest attire,
| with several recently added features,
a revised story and presented by a
| matchless ensemble of celebrities, head
ed by Stella Mayhem and Chris Bruno.
| This is one of the very few productions
| that have the power of pleasing and in
| teresting all classes, as it embraces
| melodrama, farce comedy and vaude-
vile.
Unusual interest is manifested by
the play-goers of this city in the forth
coming production of Frank Harvey s
! most successful drama, THE Land of
| the Living" which will be elaborately
| staged at the Academy of Music Fri
| day and Saturday next under the di-
| rection of Martin Dixon. The reputa-
| tion of Mr. Harvey as master of mel
| OdramatiC writing alone recommends
his latest play to the intelligent play
goer for THE Wages of Sin" and "Wo-
| man Against Woman" from the same
| pen are well remembered here. In The
Land of the Living" he has made q
strong appeal to every emotion, the
story is unconventional and intensely
interesting.

The Ft, Smith league team arrlv-

enter three games against our
league team. They are on the
same footing as our club, having
been beaten by the Senators of
Little Rock, and only won one game
from Hot Springs.
AS our team had been greatly
strengthened by new men, the
game promised to be quite inter
esting to the large crowd of base
ball enthusiasts and "sportles' who
went out to see the game and enjoy
the sport,
Mr. Cliff Smither was chosen um-

famed the air or made hits that

and was treated to the same kind
