timent and gave Miss Nannary ample
scope for her strongest forte, the emo
tional and sentimental. The three-act
low comedy which followed introduced
Miss Nannary in an unusual role. IT
was a wrench to the spectators feel
lngs to see her step so far out Of her
walk. Her effort to get down TO the
level of sporty girl was a brave one,
merry enough in its way; but honestly
the actress knows it to be foreign to
her tastes, training and general capabil-
tiles, versatile as they are Mr. Daley
was very clever in the other low comedy
role. His capacity is broadening con-
stantly. He steps from farce to the
tragic, from negro minstrelsy to char
acter dialect parts; from the sentimen-
tai to the emotional, and from the iu-
yenile to the senile with. surprising ease
and success. Tonight East Lynne"

THE SLOT MACHINE.
You May Kick Satisfaction Out Of
It, if It Cheats.

Late last night someone rung up the
Police Station, and when Sergeant
Plunkett asked, in his sweetest telc-
phone voice, what was wanted, received
this response
Say, there's a fellow here who beat
the slot machine out of So, and because
it went wrong and wouldn't pay he
broke the machine. Can't I have him
arrested"
City Attorney De Ligne was present,
having dropped into see if his services
were needed in any way, and Sergeant
Plunkett referred the inquiry to him.
Mo- said the City Attorney. as-
suredly not. Tell him slot machine
is not a thing recognized by the law
and the law gives it no protection. 1t
might not be a safe thing for him to
swear that he is operating a slot ma
chine"
Plunkett gave the saloon proprietor
the information desired, and nothing
more was heard Of it. He probably
paid the kicker the nickels the machine
refused to give up.

A PROSPECT OF LITIGATION.
SOMETHING UP SUPERVISOR
MoRRISoN's SLEEVE.
Action May be Taken To-Day In
Regard to the Offices of
Auditor and Recorder.

At the morning session of the Board
of Supervisors yesterday Morrison, Cur
tbs, brennan and Jenkins were present.
Chairman Morrison said that there
was one thing that the board should
consider in consequence of the late de-
cision of Judge Johnson that the ofnces
Of Sheriff and Tax Collector are separ-
ate and distinct. The Offices. he found'
were conolidated by the board IN lSo4'
on motion of Supervisor Mclaughlin
who was at that time a member or the
board, but no ordinance was passed 10
that effect, as is necessary under tie
law
Now on the same ground, said Mr.
Morrison, the question has arisen in re-
gard to the offices of Auditor anu Re-
corder, they having been consolidated
under the same motion. He thought
1t would be we'll for the board to get
written opinion from District Attorney
Ryan on the subject.
All the past acts of the Office, he said.
are legal, but will not be in future, ana
the matter should be settled without
delay. 1t was the duty of the board TO
give due consideration to the matter.
The District Attorney could give his
opinion, but he wanted a full board
when the appintment to fill the vacancy
is made, if one is necessary.
Supervisor Jenkins thought likewise,
and moved that Mr. Ryan be requested
to give. written opinion to-day.
1t was so ordered.
HEALTH OFFICERS REPORTS.
E. w. Springstead, Health Officer at
Elk Grove, reported the district IN ex-
cellent condition, with no deaths and
no cases of fever.
o. N. Bartlett, Health officer at Gait,
reported that he had caused two cows
to be killed that were put off train
of stock cars at the depot. The health
of the district in his charge is good.
f. w. Springstead of Elk Grove sent
in his resignation as Poundmaster, hav-
ing been elected Justice of the Peace,
and it was accepted.
FAIR OAKS ROAD.
The report of J. C. Boyd, L. Nc
Adams and A. Colbacher, viewers of the
road petitioned for by Cox & Clarke and
others, running from Greenback Lane
to Fair Oaks, was taken up at the af-
ternoon session. The damages recon-
mended amount to $30S, and an esti-
mate of $3.50 is made for bridges.
p. ]. Huelsman, one of the petition
ers, stated that people have been lriv-
ing over his land for several years. and
it was desired to have public highway
that would accommodate everyone. The
length of the proposed road is about
two miles.
The matter of opening the road was
taken under advisement.
The board took an early recess until
this morning.
