THE FIRST STREET CUT
Chain Gang Begins Very Big Piece
of Work

A section of the chain gang consisting OF
ten men aided by two wagons began work
Yesterday on the north side of the First
street cut, at the corner of Hill street. The
gang is to cut the street between Hill and
Olive streets to its full width. The job il
big one, and will occupy months.
The work of the chain gang Is being done
by order of the city council in carrying out
the terms of the agreement reached with
Mrs. Shepard several weeks ago.. Mrs.
Shepard made a stubborn fight against the
opening of First street, and has delayed the
work for several years by litigation in the
courts. Several weeks ago, however, she
concluded to give up the unequal contest, and
signed an agreement to withdraw all pend
ing suits in the courts and remove al! OBJ
stacles to the prosecution of the work, if
the city would grade her lot down to grade
and lower the building known as the High
land Villa to the street level.
The proposition was accepted, as it will
be big public improvement, but on account
it is said of certain councilmen having pri-
vate jobs for the chain gang to perform, work
was not begun promptly. Mrs: Shepard got
tired Of waiting and insisted that the work
be commenced, so the most available section
of the chain gang was detailed. The dirt is
being dumped into the big ravine between
First and Court streets and Grand avenue
and Olive street.

Elourished q Knife

Ed Baker may not come out of his trouble
with j. Stokes as easily as he expected, for
court was anything but favorable to Baker
1t had been first claimed that Stokes had
gone into the room of the Bakers and raised
disturbance and got his nose broken by
Baker in consequence. Stokes claimed that
there had been disturbance in Bakers
room and he had merely gone there to re-
quest them to cease the noise. Baker a.
saulted him. It was claimed by Mr.. Far
knife before cutting Stokes. Stokes was
fined IS, as he had pleaded guilty the day
previous to disturbing the peace. Baker
had been released on his own recognizance
ON a similar charge, but on the claim of his
use OF the knife it was decided to place
Baker under bonds, SO he was taken into
custody

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
As Shown by the Railroad Scramble
for Freirht

CHICAGO, Oct. 2l.--Chauncey NJ. De.
pew, discussing the railroad outlook, says:
Peculiar conditions prevail in railroad
matters just now. There is large amount
of traffic and in many instances railroad
companies cannot get cars enough to carry
freight that is offered. And yet some Of
these over-crowded roads are cutting rates
and making contracts ahead at figures below
the rate scheduled. For instance, one rail-
road will make low contract for the carry
ing of certain quantity of freight, thirty
or even ninety days from date. In this way
the road threatens to take away business
which the managers of other roads think
they will need when the time comes. The

DepIOrabIe Suicide.

On sun day, the 23rd, the whole
community was shocked to learT
that Frank Ribe, a boy only four
teen years old, had committed sui"
eide by ha nging himself IN an out
house of [ he Ice & Coal Company
by which he was employed. Tho
body was discovered by Herbers
Hirsch, a young man who is en-
ployed in the Office of the Ice d
Coal Company. He promptly
gave the alarm and large crowd
collected in few minutes. The
dead boy was cut down and taken
into the office, where Coronea

Barnes, Camp Wheeler nd W. A.
Crouch. Their verdict was "sui-
eide by strangulation, during 4
state of temporary insanity" The
suicide of a boy of his age is SO
unusual an event that it caused a
sensation of horror, and for atime
many efforts were made to show
that he came to his death acciden-
tally, or while playing, or even
that he had been murdered. A
letter was found in his pocket, the
exact contents OF which cannot bo
learned, but which ii was at first
claimed explained fully his reason
for his act. stating that since his
fathers death his mother had con
stantly impressed upon him their
troubles and cares until he could
endure it no longer. The fact
that he had written such letter
was afterwards denied, and it was
claimed that dependency over his
fathers death alone caused the
suicide. He was we'll liked by his
associates and employers, and was
an Industrious and promising boy,
but his companions state that he
had often threatened to commit
suicide and was subject to spells
of deep detection. The funeral
took place from the Catholic
church, Of which he was a mem
Der, on Monday, and was touch

Spring Gardening.

In the spring great many more
peoples fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of gardening than Of
love. There is a positive fascinat
ton in the smoke and smell Of
burning weeds, the fragrance Of
upturned earth, and the pictur-
esque figure of maid or matron,
rake in hand and sunbonnet on
head, experimenting the straight
small burrows soon to be green
with promise of garden veget-
ables or summer flowers. At this
period the florists catalogue is the
favorite literature of all who know
the delights of gardening, and
among the bewildering array sent
out there is none more beautiful,
or satisfactory than that
of the old reliable house of James
Vick's Sons, Rochester, New York,
which contains list OF all the
seeds and plants, useful or orna-
mental, for which the heart Of the
gardener longs. The great ad-
vantage offered by seeds bought
direct from such a well established
house as Vicks is their absolute
reliability, as well as the far more
satisfactory quantity sent for the
same money paid for the small
packages usually bought from re-
tail seedmen. 1t is not only al
great economy to select seeds from
the catalogue and buy from the
grower, but results will be infn-
itely more satisfactory, to say
nothing Of the immense variety Of
standard and fancy vegetables and
flowers to select from.

BEREAVED.

The fairest, sweetest flower will fade
Before the sunny Spring is past:
And, oh, too soon the clouds dark shade
The fairest morn will overcast.
Death came; thine eyes grew dim, and
pale
The cheeks where health was won't
to bloom
Thy mothers loye,could not avail
To save her darling from the tomb.
They laid thee in thy place OF rest.
With all the hopes that rop IpaStsaa
chung:
And on thy cold and lifeless breast,
With trembling hands the dust they
flung.
But though that little form now lies
All pale and cold beneath the sod,
Her ransomed soul beyond the skies,
Rests in the bosom of her God.
On Tuesday morning, Jan. 25,
1898, the Death Angel entered the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Lee,
and gently bore away the spirit of
little Joanna, on his soft, downy
pinions-for death could come but
gently to one of gentle mould like
her.
Those who knew and loved this
bright-faced, golden-haired child,
will not soon forget her winning
ways; and desolate is the house
she frightened for so brief while.
Too pure for earth, this tender
little flower, whose fragrance will
linger in our hearts, has been
culled to grace the heavenly gar
den and bloom in eternal Spring.
May the Good Shepherd, who
guarded the little lamb while she
so patiently suffered, stilIed her
pain and folded her in His loving
bosom, also pour out balm for the
hearts of those who are thus ber-
eayed, is the wish of
A MOTHER AND FRIEND.

The Eastern question appears

nancial warfare between England
and Russia, as to which shall obtain
a first mortgage on China by paying
the japanese war indemnity.
England has the call at present,
and the power which pays for
China will probably get her. In
the meantime Japan is increasing
her navy to an extent which is
actually appalling, and frankly
notifies the world that there is
going to be trouble if she don't get
her full share, which must Include
not only the indemnity, but Corea.
The situation is highly interesting,
