TO BE GARFIELD STREET.
Thoroughfare of Many Names to Be
Renamed For Martyr President

The residents of much-named
street in the western part of the city
pettioned the council last night to
make the name of their street uniform
throughout its whole length. The petit
ton was headed by DR.. W. L. Schenck.
who also appeared before the council
and spoke in behalf of the petition.
The petition was as follows:
Believing that the streets of a city
are named and numbered SO that the
homes of those living upon them may be
easily found, and that this purpose is
defeated by giving many names to the
same street, and approving the patri-
otto thought of the founders of our city
in naming the streets running north
and south after the presidents of the
nation, even to emitting the name of
the president who sought to force
slavery upon Kansas against the will
of the citizens of the state, the under
signed, residing upon that street which
according to their design would have
been called Garfield, but which is now
for one block named Brigham avenue,
for one block Vail avenue, for one block
Campbell Court, for a few blocks Pros
pect avenue, and for two blocks Dillon
street, respectfully ask your honorable
body that this much named street be
through its entirety called Garfield ave-
nue. or Garfield boulevard"
The council instructed City Attorney
Bird to draw up an ordinance making
the change Of name.

FLINTS PLEASE AUDIENCE.
Large Crowd Entertained by Clever
Hypnotist and His Wife.

The Flints opened an engagement at
the Crawford theater last night and the
customary large opening night audi
ence INDUCED in the customary laugh
ter over the ridiculous actions of the
subjects on the stage Laughter is as
prominent a feature of a Flint hypnotic
entertainment as Dr. Flint himself.
This year the familiar hypnotist is as
sisted by his wife, Grace Marion Flint,
who does the bulk of the work. She
seems to be as able a fun producer as
DR. Flint has proven himself to be on
several occasions in this city.
A number of good subjects were on
the stage last night The star per
former was the peculiar looking indi-
vidual who carried off the honors at a
recent hypnotic exhibition at the Grand
opera house.
The Flints will resign the stage of the
Crawford theater to the Belle Archer
company in Hoyt's "a CoHtented Wo-
man" tonight Tomorrow night they
will resume their engagement, and as
on last night, ladies' will be admitted
free. DR.. Flint announces that the per-
formances this week will be made spec
tacular in character by the generous
use of calcium lights and costumes for
the subjects.

Major Anderson yesterday received
a telegram from the Christian Herald,
of New York, asking for the approx
mate amount of corn that viii be
shipped from this state. At the pres
ent time it is impossible to approx
mate the amount. The telegram stated
that the work of loading would have to
be commenced by May to save heavy
demurrage on the vessel chartered.

has been called for Friday afternoon at

provide that the work must be COM
menced by a certain time and completed
by a certain time, with penalty of SO a
day for each day that 1t is uncompleted
over that time
The resolution introduced by Mr.
Hughes was adopted, and later he intro
duced another with reference to the city
engineer, which was also adopted. 1t
read:
and he is hereby instructed when work
ing upon any public works or improve
ments, the same shall be under the direc-
ton of the mayor and council and the
various committees thereof.
Councilman CLANCY defended Mr.. Wise
against the attacks of Councilman
Hughes, and said he believed the blame
for the slow paving ought to rest some
where else besides on the city engineer.
He has even made changes in the audi
torium specifications, said Councilman
City Engineer Wise had been sitting
STILL calmly taking all the blame heaped
upon him thus far. He has become used
to such thing during the past few months.
But the charge of General Hughes con-
corning the the auditorium specifications
reused him.
What changes have I ever made?' he
| demanded, springing to his feet
Il will answer that said Councilman
Belts THE specifications call for a GER
tain kind of paint, and you have allowed
the contractors to use common ochre for
printing. There hasn't been a drop of
! paint used over there yet"
Mr.. Wise said nothing at the time, but
after the meeting adjourned he went to
! General Hughes and said he did not be-
lieve the specifications called for any GER
| tain paint for printing.
The result of the trouble will be that
! the paving contractors will probably be
required to hire a great many more men
and push the paving as rapidly as pos
! Sible.
