ing of the adjustment of inequalities,
he remarked: "The rich man has to
pay for his ice in the summer the poor
man gets his for nothing in the winter"
He jestingly commented on his hard
lack iu getting position by saying:
IF | should start to hades with load
of ice, it would snow before could get

PATCHES IN PAVING.
Macadam Used With UnsightIy
Effect on Twentieth
Street.
MAYOR SAYS 1T Is TEMPORARY.

Applied In the Interest of Safety Un-
til Suitable Brick May BE Obtained
"A suggestion--work on Twenty-second
Street Has Been Commenced by Con-
tractors.
The dumping of macadam in the
sunken places in the brick pavement
along Twentieth street has awakened
suspicion in the minds of many that
the process might indicate the manner
in which the present makeshift head
of the street department is to repair
the inferior job of paving which the
Rockford Construction company put
in there few years ago, and from
which the city has been unable to
gain redress. Mayor McConochie,
when seen on this subject this after
noon, stated, however, that the patch
work was only temporary and de-
signed to make the street passable
until the proper sized brick could be
obtained to do the work right. AS it
is, it is probably the worst piece of
botcbing ever seen in the city since
paved streets were adopted, and it is
doubtful if even for the time being
the better way would not have been
to raise the brick in the more notable
instances of depression rather than to
give the thoroughfare such an appear
ance. The Tri-City Railway company
will soon reach Twentieth street in it's
track relaxing operations, and is prac-
tically repaving the space between the
tracks as it goes, and the city should
keep pace with what the street
car people are doing by relaying
absolutely the two blocks between
Second and Third avenues, at least.
Paving of Twenty-second.
The Tri-Citv Construction company
has begun work on the Twenty-second
street paving Improvement, starting
at Tenth avenue and moving north
toward Third. A property holders
petition for the carrying on of the
paving through to Eighteenth avenue
has been favorably acted upon by the
board of local improvements, and the
intention is to pass an ordinance at
the next meeting of the council or
dering the work to proceed to the
limits. 1t is hoped to complete the
entire job before winter. Twenty
second, when paved, will be one of
the finest thoroughfares of the city.

The motormen and conductors oil
the Tri-City Railway company donned
their new coat and cap badges today
The insignias are very neat and the
cap badges designating the Office of the
wearers are so arranged that they are
interchangeable on occasions when
through rush of business or 9TH
erwise motorman may perform the
duties of conductor, or vice-versa the
badge may so designate, and the
beauty and advantage of the new
scheme will be shown in all the men,
extras as well as regulars, being prop
erly badged at all times when on duty.
The coat badge bears the mans num-
Der and the name of the company, but
does not indicate his position.

other great attraction for the midway

man is the wonderful La Pearl, who
has been puzzling the doctors every
where. He is placed in den of hun
dreds of poisonous reptiles which
bite him all the time, none of the bites
taking effect. He bites off the heads
of his snakes and eats them. This is
his diet. 1t is said that he cannot be
poisoned by anything.

before whom the proceedings were
brought. The judge appointed one
of the most prominent attorneys at

Owing to the circumstances of the
case and Henry's broken health, it is
not unlikely that the proceedings
will be dismissed. and the prisoner
sent back to his home in this county.
