NONE OF THEIR BUsfxEss
Coal Mans Remark About the Grand
Jury.

Inc grand jury returned three more
indictments yesterday. William FondeI
and Frank Bonsell were jointly indict-
ed on the charge Of larceny in the sec
ond degree. The other Indictment was
found against Mrs. Henrietta Schmel-
ger, who is charged with assault upon
her 1l-year-old stepdaughter Lizzie.
The grand jury will remain in ses-
sion until tomorrow afternoon, when it
Will submit a final report.
The alleged coal combine is now IN
dergoing investigation by the grand
jury. Several well-known coaI dealers
were called in and subjected to a
searching inquisiticn as to what
knowledge they had regarding the ex-
istence of a combination among local
dealers in coal. They all denied the ex=
1stence of any combination, so far as
they knew. One of the dealers showed
signs of Impotence while undergoing
examination, and after he had emerged
from the grand jury room, he was over
heard to say to a fellow coal dealer:
It's none of the grand jury's -
business how | conduct my business.

AFFAIRS OF CYCLISTS,
Several Matters Before the Commit
tee ON Streets

The committee on streets from the
board Of aldermen laid over till warm
weather the ordinance submitted by
Aid. Bell relative to the streets on
which bicyclists could ride on the side
walks. The petition from residents
in the vicinity Of Stewart avenue and
Eutternut street, protesting against
two milk farms" which were conduct
ed in that vicinity against the public
health, was sent to the health COM.
missioner for report. The tax budget
provided for 800 additional gasoline
lamps, and each Of the aldermen claims
that the greater part of the increase
Should be placed in the district he rep-
resents. In order that the lamps NAV
be distributed equally in the wards
needed, the committee on streets will
prepare schedule and portion out the
lamps. Aid. Shepard suggested that
the attention of the street commission
ers or city engineer be called to the
necessity of providing bicycle pa tbs
along University and Marshall avenues
Ills idea was that the street commits
slQners at a small cost to the civ
could make a path along each street

City Engineer Rundlett, which has been
Published before.
F. l.. Howell said Aid Markham sug-
gested a tunnel on Selby avenue ana
yet the alderman knew there was no
way to compel the company to tunnel
the hill. All that was needed to put
the tracks on Summit avenue was the
giving up of a boulevard on the ave-
rue between Dayton and Selby ave
nues. The Kenny, ordinance was abou1
the same as the Shepard ordinance,
but it was proposed to tack on to II
the Broadway and union depot loops.
1t was unfair. he thought, to have al
the opposition tackled on to an ordi-
nance embodying the same as the
Shepard ordinance and then kill it.
The city engineer, in response to
a question put by Aid. Markham, said
it would take about three minutes
longer to go to Merriam Park by the
Grand avenue line, if extended, than it
did by the Selby avenue route. II was.
MI. Rundlett said, only about half
nile further from point on Marshall
avenue to the Seven Corners by the
Grand avenue line than by Selby ave
nue..
The committee, on motion of Aid
DonahOwer, then rose and on the vote
to recommend the passage Of the ordi-
nance, it was carried. Those voting
for it We're: Aldermen Allard, Dona-
hover, Kaldunski, Larson, Lindahl,
Shepard, Stutzman. Those voting
against it were: Aldermen Markham.
Bigelow and Kenny. Aid. Bell was
absent.
Aid. Donahower moved to suspend
the rules. but was coat-tailed by Aid.
Shepard, who informed him it would
take nine votes to pass the measure,
and to insist on a vote now would be
to kill the ordinance.
The motion to adjourn was put and
carried, and, before the ordinance is
again called up, the friends of the
measure will do some missionary work.
Previous to discussing the ordinance.
the board approved the bonds Of the
State and Northern Exchange banks.
The bond of the State bank was i'll
the sum Of 100000 with Charles Stone,

sen, as sureties. The Northern En-
change bank bond was for the same
amount with ThOs. B. Scott, Adolph c.

The National German-American bank,
in connection with the Chase National
Bank OF New York, was made the in

met. A bond in the sum of 500, GOO,

is a violation of the command: Thou shalt

verted to the doctrines Of the church, had
ample time after receiving the fatal wound to
become acquainted with the enormity of her
crime. She repented her action, and in re-
Spouse to her wishes. received the sacraments

James WhitcOmb Riley as Enter
tanning on the Stage as Else

where.
A treat is in store for those persons who
intend to hear James Whitcomb Riley, Miss
Lillian Bell and John Fox Jr., at the Peoples
church tomorrow night. Authors readings
are always popular and when, as do the three
mentioned, they have the quality Of inter
preting their works in a degree corresponding
to the ability shown in writing them the
pleasure and profit Of the occasion are much
enhanced.
Mr.. Riley's manner on the stage is entirely
unconventional and wholly characteristic of
the man. If comparison of that kind may
be made 1t may be said that he reads and
gestures in dialect just as he writes most of
his popular poems.
John Fox Jr., is a most entertaining reader
to style, voice and general impression and
in his thrilling stories of the Kentucky and
Tennessee mountains he finds abundance of
material for the exercise of his recitative
abilities.
Miss Lillian Bell is famed both as an author
and as a brilliant conversationalist. The
same qualities of expression which character
lie her conversation make her readings most
delightful

marked his prices down, he then did

And when he saw his trade in.

he marked still lower everything, and
advertised again. g."
And when he advertised again his

go with mighty rush, to patronize his

And when they sat in solitude, and
saw him custom win, that man be-
