Sunday in a scuffle with a drunken
man who tried to force an entrance

house in a most respectable but not
a modern part of the city. under the
impression that it was questionable
resort. Gen. Greely was thrown down
a fight of stone steps and received a
severe scalp wound. from which he
lost a great deal of blood. He was
stunned by the fall and remained un-
consious for nearly an hour. A physi-
clan dressed the wound and applied
restoratives. He found no fracture OF
the skull and it is not believed that
the injury will prove dangerous. The
assailant is in the hands of the police.

A STUPENDOUS WORK
OPENING OF THE THlRTY.FIvE
MILLION DOLLAR CANAL.
Lake Michigan to Shake Hands With
the Gulf Of Mexico-A Great Tri-
umph for Scientific Engineering
Its Primary Object.


The $35 200, 900 canal at Chicago. at
present used for sewage disposal. but
ultimately to be a ship canal also, is
IN use to-day, after seven years of hard
work by the Sanitary District, which
Is the name of corporation includ-
Ing the larger part of the city of Chi
cago and many of it's suburbs. At
least the Chicago end of it is in use.
Probably never before has the COM
pletion OF a public work of such mag
nitude been marked with such abso-
lutte lack of ceremony. There were no
speeches, no exercises, no cheering.
There was a grand rush of water,
to be followed by the cheers cf spec'
S<-"~ I~@~cd 80 .--,e.-i-' I..I la
toIs. .nuecu, .ne openiug OF the canal
resembled more the tiny stream OF
water that flowed over the Holland
until it swept great hole in the wall
Dyke, and grew larger and larger,
of the earth. This is the way the great
canal was opened. This method was
used to avoid the danger of great
rush of water, but it robbed the open
ing of all impressiveness.
What is called the Collateral Chan
mel has been completed for some time
from a branch of the Chicago River
in the southwestern part of the city
to within fifteen feet of the canal. The
canal has been built to carry 100000
cubic feet a minute, but only about
$4,000 feet will be admitted until
the channel is full If the Chicago
River had been turned into the empty
canal at the rate of 100000 feet min
ute the engineers would have feared
for the safety of the numerous bridge
piers in the canal channel and for
the controlling works at Lockport and
the city of Joliet. There would have
been also great da .ger in the Chicago
River from a sudden fall of water and
consequent inrushing from Lake Mich
igan. These are the reasons the water
| is being admitted gradually.
Wednesday. Jan. 3. at noon. the
water reached Lockport. There il
! falls into the Desplaine hiver. and
then into the Illinois and Mississippi
rivers, and so finally Lake Michigan
will shake hands with the Gulf of Mex
leo. Chicago people are already eager
| ly watching the effect on the Chicago
River of the opening of the canal. This
stream, which is so Objectionable II
it's present condition, is expected to be
comparati rely pure, and certainly Il
lose all its features Objectionable from
sanitary point of view when the
present stagnation gives way to full
strong current from Lake Michigan.

COURT HAD TO STOP.
Marion County Had No Legal Jury
List Ready.

The district court Of Marion county
came to an abrupt termination Wed
nesday. The statute provides that
the trustees VI each township shall
annually during the month OF Apf'l
make a list Of persons who shall DC
subject to jury duty and that they
shall select such list from the assess
ment roll OF the preceding year. In
stead Of selecting the list Of jurors
from the assessment roll Of 1895 the
trustees in Marion selected their lists
from the assessment roll Of 1899
which was in clear violation Ct the
statute and the supreme court mas
decided that jurors selected in such
manner are not legally qualified to
serve and Judge Moore therefore dis
charged the jury aud all jury cases
will have to 60 over until the Septem-
Der term OF court.
The trustees OF Dickinson cannot
be too careful about this matter as at
any time a. case may test their regu'
larity in arranging the jury lists. In
this instance it will cost Marion
county about $3.50 needlessly.
