THE soUTH-sIDE MARKET.
Proposed to Experiment with Shelby
Street Barns.

Councilman knight, of the Fourteenth
ward, said yesterday that the question of
providing South-side market would be re-
vived, as the people Of his ward, now that
spring has come. are agitating it again
He says that Mayor Taggart recently
promised him that the market should be
established.
Last fall the City Council appropriated
$4,000 for the purchase of ground for the
market site. There was however, a dis
pute as to where the market should be To-
Gated. The old street-car barns, on Shelby
street, between Fountain square and San
ders street, was first talked of and it could
nave been purchased, but people living fur
ther down town and others who had prop
for the reason that there could be no salts

site was suggested at the corner of Virginia
avenue ana buchanan. street. The Board OF
Works listened to the arguments of the
TWO FACTIONS and argument brought out ar
gument and caused delay. AS a result no
purchase was made, while the money re-
NAMED unexpended at the end of the fiscal
year and reverted to the general fund ac-
cordtng to law. This left the South-side
market question as it was before the agita-
tion 1t also gave opportunity for more
careful study of the case 1t was found that
the nrst appropriation would cover only
about half the expense of establishing the
market. A new City Council came in and
there was objection to expanding SO much
money for an experiment. 1t is now pro-
posed that the old street-car barns be
leased and the experiment be made with
out great expense.

The question of the legality of the pro-
ceedings of the City Council in passing the
ordinance transferring the $4,000 raised for
the Board of Park Commissioners by the
sale Of bonds to the Board of Public Works
for park purposes has been raised, and it
is predicted that the money will again be
tied up by the courts. The administration
claims it will proceed however, on the be-
lief that the transfer is legal, and will take
the steps necessary to establish the system

system will be given immediate attention.
Land Will be appraised and condemned, and
work VIII proceed as rapidly as the charter
Will permit, or until some property owner
who objects to the arrangement shall bring

II the proceedings are legal, the Board of
Public Works will have about 100000 for
parks. 1t will realize in the neighborhood
OF $4,000 by the assessment of benefits.
This money and $4,000 of the appropriation
will go to the Improvement of the lands pur-
chased and to the improvement of Garfield

La Grippe
Leaves the Nervous System Shattered, Causing

Cured BY
DIR. MILES, NERVINE.

Have you had La Grippe? If you
have not, doubtless some of your
friends have and you know what it
is. You have seen it suddenly, with
out any warning, seize the victim in
its relentless grasp and wrench
asunder the fibres of his nervous
system. That terrible pain in the
back of the head, the aching back
and legs, the soreness in the muscles
and bones as if bruised or beaten,
the feeble pulse-all these are fa-
mlliar to you. But have you noticed
the after effects? Do you know
that 1t weakens the lungs, enfee-
bles the heart, and deranges the
stomach and bowels and seriously
interferes with all the functional
operations of the body? And even
after the disease is apparently dead,
the physical weakness, mental apa-
thy and the depression of spirits re-
main. You also know that hum

THE MUSCULAR BEAUTIES"
Record of the Female Riders at Tom
IinsOn Hall.

The muscular beauties who ride the
silent steed for cash purses continued their
giddy whirl last night on the half-perpen-
dicular track at Tomlinson Hall. The heavy
rain caused a marked decrease in the
crowd, but failed to dampen the ardor of
the loyal ones in attendance. About thou
and people distributed themselves comfort
ably over the ground floor and in the gal
leries. The arena in the center of the track
was filled with crowd of enthusiastic
young men, who 0heered the contestants
and made mouth BETS on their favoriteS.
Anderson, CLAW and Wagner did most of
the riding, and these three stalwart daugh-
ters of the track kept the crowd guessing
who did the best pedaling and who would
win the race. The pace was hot all the
hot for Fiering and Peterson. The little
French girl fell four miles behind, and
Peterson, the beauty in white tights, was
hOpeleSSly out of it. The others rode round
her time after time, and she left the track
often to rest. But she had the crowd with
her; the women admired her because of her
sweet" face, and the men because she was
game though they had no objections to
the sweet face.
The finish was pretty one. The Terrible
last mile, and kept it till the end in spite of
the terrific efforts of CLAW and Wagner to
head her. She finished first by hardly a
wheel length. 1t was somewhat singular
sponded exactly to that of the previous
night.
The score for the two nights stands as
follows
Anderson-64 miles laps.
Glaw-64 miles, laps.
Wagner-64 miles, laps.
Fiering-6O miles, II laps.
Peterson-52 miles, Is laps

MRS. PEARCE FOUND BOUND.
The Police Called on to Investigate a
Strange Case.

The police were called to No. 500 East
Washington street at IL o'clock yesterday
morning to investigate the strange case of
young Mrs. Pearce. The woman is sixteen
years of age and has been married to James
Pearce, proprietor of a bicycle repair shop,
since last January The detectives who
went out on the case found Mrs. Pearce
very nervous. Her father was holding her
in his arms, and she was sobbing. Her hus-
band told a queer story. He and his wife
live in room in the rear of his shop. Yes

wife at home and was gone about two
hours. When he returned he found her tied

feet were fastened to the chair The ma
terial used in binding Mrs. Pearce to the
chalr mad been torn from knit garment.
MRS. Pearce, after being revived told her
husband that shortly after his departure
two men entered the shop where she was
sitting and seized her They then carried
her into back room and tied her TO the
chair. She said they offered no further in
dignity, and after asking her where she
said they made no attempt to get her purse
after she told them where 1t was. The
woman said the men looked as if they had
tried TO blacken their faces. Her hands
and face bore the marks of smutty fingers.
Mrs. Pearce told Detective Splann that on
Monday the larger of the two men forced
itiS way INTO HeT mouse anu conducted NM
self rather queerly. She did not recognize
either of the men,

The Alaskan Rate Troubles.

1t is probable that another meeting of
the transcontinental lines will be held in
the near future for the purpose of reaching
some adjustment of the Alaska rate
troubles. The Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific yesterday announced that
they had concluded that it was out of the
question to submit their part Of the fight
to committee of arbitration, but in so de-
claring they expressed themselves as being
willing to hold another conference if it
could be arranged. Just what can be ac-
complished by another meeting when the
roads have declined to submit to arbitration
is difficult to see; but the Cam
adam Pacific has also intimated that
it would be willing to meet with the
other roads, and it is likely that the sec
ond meeting will be held within a week or
ten days. There was nothing said about
the differential matter, and it is understood
that the Canadian Pacific will fight for them
to the bitter end, and at the same time
the other transcontinental roads are deter
mined that the differentias shall not be
granted. Unless somebody weakens there is
no chance of agreement

OLD NUMBERS STILL UP
A FEW MERCHANTS WILL RESIST
CITY ENGINEERS ORDER.
Proposal to Lease the SheIby-Street
Car Barns for a SOUTH
Side Market.

1t is probable that the right of the city
to order the old street numbers removed
will be given test in the courts before
the city succeeds in getting all taken down.
1t is claimed by some that the ordinance
requiring the removal of the old numbers
is Illegal. Those holding this view concede
the city's right to designate the numbers
by which houses shall be known, and also
claim that the property holder has an
equally good right to choose any other
number or dozen of them if he pleases
The objection will come from a few bust
ness men who have painted both the old
and new numbers on their stores. They are
men who claim that their places of bust
ness became we'll known for years by the
old numbers, and they decline to have them
removed until the new numbers have be-
come familiar.

1t was said at the office of the Board of
Public Works yesterday that it is not the
intention of the board to let drop the mat
ter of paving the roadway of Noble street
from Washington street to Massachusetts,
avenue. The board adopted a resolution for
this Improvement a few days ago and on
Monday rescinded it's action. The papers
are now in the hands of the city engineer,
and it is claimed he will be instructed to
prepare a new resolution.
The explanation of the action of the board
in resembling it's former action is that the
resolution, adopted, provided for paw
ing the part of the roadway occupied by
the tracks of the Citizens Street Railroad
Company. The president of the board re-
Gently announced that it would not be the
policy of the board to pave between tracks
at the expense of abuttng property own
ers, and it IS in line with this policy that
the resolution was killed. The property
owners on the street demonstrated against
the Improvement to the number of forty
five, and the remonstrance stated specifl-
cally that 1t was on account of the pro-
vision for paving between the tracks
There was no general remonstrance against
the Improvement and it is said there will
be none when the resolution is modified.

The Art Association Exhibit.

The Art Association exhibit at the Propy-
laeum contains a few pieces of lockwood
pottery, which show, if anything, the de-
cided decline in artistic charm of the out
put of this pottery. They are limitations
of Copenhagen ware; any copy or imita-
ton in art is hateful to the heart of the
art lover. One vase resembling the tall,
slender shape Of the iris, and decorated with
the green, sprouting blades of the iris, is
pretty enough. A few bits of sculpture also
adorn the exhibition. No. 49, by Mr.. Burg
boost, is a nude figure of early youth,
fexed at the waist in the style natural to
the French. and often depicted in their art
a bend not common among the Spaniards
and Italians, and not used by them in art.
