TWO REFUSE TO SIGN 1T
ANTI-SPITTING ORDINANCE CONsID-
Erred BY COMMITTEE.
Messrs. Shaffer and Higgins Oppose 1t
Other Matters Discussed by
Council Committees.

The Office of the city clerk was full of to-
bacco smoke and eouncilmen last night, the
occasion being the meeting Of the commit
tees on public health, on sewers, streets
and alleys, on railroads and on finance.
DIR. Moffett's anti-spitting ordinance was
up before the public health committee. Mr.
Shaffer and Mr.. Higgins refused to sign a
report favoring its passage. Shaffer said he
did not believe it would be right to pass
an ordinance which would authorize the ar
rest of children for splitting on the side
walks, but said he would consider the ordi-
nance further and might change his mind
and favor it's passage. DR.. Moffett is the
third member of the committee. He said
that if people were prevented from splitting
on the sidewalks it would not be many years
until tuberculosis would be disease of the
past. He said the majority Of the members
of the Council were in favor of passing the
ordinance. The primary object of laws, he
said, was education and not merely the
making of arrests and the levying Of fines
for offenses.
The railroad committee decided to make
a trip this morning to the Peoria &5 Eastern
Railroad crossing Of West Washington
street and look at the tracks. The railroad
has asked that it be allowed to remove
switch and lay a straight track. Several
members of the committee said they sus-
pected the railroad was attempting in
shrewd way to remove q, dead track and
lay "live" one, or, in other words, to re-
place a track over which 10 trains passed
with one over which several trains would
run every day.
The finance committee considered an ordi-
nance which purposes the annexation Of ter
ritory between Thlrtieth and Thirty-eighth
street and Central avenue and Meridian
street in order that street improvements
may be made in it. Property owners of
Central avenue were present and insisted
that an amendment to the ordinance be
made so the land for $50 feet or more east
of Central avenue would also be taken in,
for without that Central avenue could not
be improved north of Fall creek because
property owners on the east side of the ave-
nue. would not be within the city. The COM
mittee postponed taking action in the mat
ter.
The sewers, streets and alleys committee
made favorable report on the ordinances
changing the name of Huron street to Lex
ington avenue and Rural street TO Laporte
avenue.

The Girl They Left behind.

They sat in their tent Mt the close Of day
In confdng state Of mind,
And talked in a confidential way
or the gTlies they left behind
The light Of the stars in the realms aboVe,
Those gems of the arching skies,
Was not as soft the light of love
That glowed in the warriors eyes
AS each one told of the beauties rare
OF his own particular maiden fair.
my girl" said Tom 'is pretty queen
And true as the tempered steel:
Has the lovelest eyes that were ever seen
She's a sumner from head TO heel.
Twas in letter / asked her hand
In a passionate sort OF way;
An eloquent declaration, and
Her answer iust came to-day
She says she loves me, and will be glad
To share the life of her soldier lad.
"My darling is worth her weight in goldi'
said Jack with a love-drawn tear
There isn't an angel above could hold
Her cwn with the little dearl
That last sweet night when we kissed goodbye
She promised to be my wife
To love me faithful and true till l
Got back from my soldier life.
And her letters tell me in every line
She's mine forever, and only mine.
And T. said Harry, ''Have won girl
Who Is waiting for me at home,
The sweetest and prettiest maiden pearl
Meath heavens o'erhanging dome.
She wears my ring on her lovely hahd
In ms heart is her image divine
But tell me the names OF your dear ones ant
IN tell you the name of mine
Kate Lott?''
Great Scott!'
Then the brains OF the trio began to whirl.
They were all engaged TO the game old girl!

APPELLATE COURT WORK
FIRST SITTING oF THE NOVEMBER
TERM HELD YESTERDAY.
News of the Federal and State Courts
Decision in Brewery Conn
pany Case.

Yesterday was the first day Of the No
vember term of the Appellate Court. During
the last year 347 cases have been filed, and
there are now 37S cases in the court which
are undecided. James II. Cluggage is in
debted to the city of Sullivan on an electric
light contract. Cluggage took the contract
for lighting the city at $50 light, and held
the contract for a time, but for some rea-
son suddenly repudiated it and the city had
to make new one with other parties at a
higher figure. The Circuit Court. where a
suit to recover the difference between the
two prices was tried against Cluggage's
bondsmen, held that the city could not re-
cover but the Appellate Court yesterday re-
versed the decision.
Hiram Ritter, of North Webster, Kos
ciusko county, recovered a judgment for
$500 against Rev. John Il. Brockman, the
pastor of his family church, for the aliena-
tion of his wife's affections. Rrockman ap-
pealed the case and the Appellate Court
yesterday affirmed the judgment.
At the time the Plainfield Keeley-cure es-
tablishment was sold Mrs. Mary Is. Calvin
gave her note for 81 900 as part of the pur-
chase price Of the institution, which was
transferred to c. T.. Odell. Mrs. Calvin
claims that she placed the note in the pos
session Of her husband with the understand
Ing that as soon as Odell had complied with
some stipulations in the contract the note
should be given over to him. In some man
ner unknown to Mrs. Calvin the note passed
into the custody Of Odell without her re-
ceiving any equivalent. She claims that
the note was only intended as an accommo-
dation to Odell, and that he agreed to secure
it by giving u mortgage on his property.
The Appellate Court decided that, as she
had placed the note in the hands of her hus-
band as her agent and he had delivered IT,
she was bound by it the same as if she had
delivered it herself.
The Appellate Court decided that a dog
tax levied by township does not alto
gether belong to the township where there
is city within its limits. The School Board
of Shelbyville sued Addison township in
which the city is situated. to recover the
money collected by the township for dog
taxes within the city limits. The township
officials, however, contended that the
money belonged to the township schools,
and used the money accordingly. The APP
pellate Court. however decided that the city
was entitled to the tax on its own dogs.

1t is expected that the indictment against
S. B. Nickum, of perpetual light fame, will
be quashed next Saturday. The reason for
this move is to save time for both sides, as,
in the estimate OF both the lawyers and the
court, the present indictment is defective
and will not hold in suit. The attorneys
for Nickum argued a motion to quash the
Indictment before Judge Baker yesterday
and TIE court, while not deciding the mat
ter. said he felt that the instrument was
not good one He thought that some of
the counts were technically wrong, be-
cause, instead of being drawn by special
averments they were drawn by way of re-
ctal. Nickum's attorneys claimed to the
court that If he is given q little time he
will be able to perfect his light and keep
his promises. He has returned the money
PAID by seXerai dlssansled customers ana
says he will do so to amy of the rest who
ask him to. When the present indictment
is quashed Nickum will be held under bond
to await further action by the federal
grand Jury.
