Nothing was said about a boulevard

on account of the fact that the improve

with asphalt from its western end to

The suggestion that this street be so

DIR. DWIGHT'S DIFFICULTIES
A Reconciliation With His Wife Has
Been Affected

The difficulties between DR.. Wilder
Dwight and his wife seem now in fair
way toward an amicable settlement.
Yesterday afternoon DR.. Dwight was
brought into Justics Morrisors court
for examination on the charge Of as
sault to kill, perding the hearing of
which he has been confined in the city
Jail for a period of several weeks. BY
stipulation it was agreed to continue the
case to next Friday and upon the request
of the complaining witness the defend
ant was released without bail.
Since the arrest of DR.. Dwight the
mutual friends of the family have been
at work trying to effect reconciliation
between the husband and wife. AT first
Mrs. Dwight stated that she would never
relax her purpose of prosecuting her
husband to the end, but evidently she
has charged her mind. The couple are
now fully recorciled and expect to leave
the city shortly for good and start in life
anew, trying to forget the past. The
complaint against DR.. Dwight was
sworn to by e. A. Paulsen, cousin of
Mrs. Dwight, but he is willing to let the
case drop if she so desires.
DR.. Dwight belongs to a we'll known
family in Boston, and the disgrace of
the recent episode has been very keenly
felt by them

Such committee will cooperate in re-
spect of plans, specificati tons, cost and
other details in such manner as to en-
able the building association to make
acceptable terms of leasing to the Fri
day Morning club. The club will by
means of the lease control the manage
ment Of the building, sublet rooms and
govern the renting of the main hall for
social, musical, literary and other en-
tertainments. A subscription list will
be circulated among the members of the
Friday Morning club and others. The
shares will be 500 each, the total number
Of shares not exceeding 1000. The sub
scription will become binding when at
least 375 shares are subscribed. equal 10

any investment of funds is made. The
capital stock will be $4,000, divided in 10

each subscription shall be in. the full
amount subscribed.
