face northward. Better facilities are
also to be provided for entrance and
exit purposes. There will be a seper-
ate passageway for ladies with es-
corts and separate space will also
be assigned to them in the grandstand.

is believed that a five minute service
will be given.

THE BONDS ILLEGAL.

But The Court Failed To Say Any

Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 20.-The some
what celebrated gold bond injunction
suit in which W. ]. Bryan, as the
plaintiff sought to restrain the mayor
and city council from delivering 1884,
500 refunding bonds with a gold clause
attached to ex-City Treasurer Ste
phenson, has been decided by the Su-
preme court and Mr.. Bryan's position
was sustained.
Nearly two years ago a proposition
to vote bonds was unlimited and car
ried by bare majority. The city coun-
Gil contracted for their purchase with
Stephenson, who insisted on a gold
clause, which was also allowed.
Mr.. Bryan enjoined the sale on the
ground that the bonds were illegally
carried and further that the city char
ter prohibited discrimination between
gold and currency bonds.
District Judge Holmes decided in his
favor and the city council appealed.
The Supreme court afirms the decision
of the lower court, laying stress on
the Sacts that the bonds were Illegally
dec carried. but is again silent on.

Louisville and Nashville will begin the
introduction Of the system.
