AN ASSESSMENT IN DISPUTE.
District Commissioner Pass en- =
Water Main Case.


Water Main Case.
The District Commissioners. under date
of November 20, issued an order cancel
ing an assessment for water main
against part Of lot 19 in square 554. It
appears that there was an error in the
amount Of the assessment reported to the
Commissioners. and that papers in the
case we're passed upon second tine. The
Special Assessment Clerk made long re-
port, seeking to show that there had new
er been double assessment against the
property and that the ground for can
collation. was not correctly taken.
This report brought out a rejoinder
from the superintendent of the Water
Department to the effect that his recon-
mendatien for the cancellation was rot
because Of double assessment but be-
cause when the water connection was
made for which the assessment vas levied
the premises were supplied with water.
and that therefore the connection and the
asses6n ent were both unnecessary ard IL
legal. The Superintendent Of the Water
Department recommended that the order
for cancellation stand.

THE GYPSYS CARE
Failed to Correctly Read Her
Own Future Before
the Mayor.

Two gypsy females have been
working every gullible person they
meet for a small piece Of money
on the fortune telling scheme.
One must cross their palm with
silver to make their prophecies
come true. That's the main point.
Then the gypsy "maidens" look
searchingly at the palms Of your
hand and inform you that you are
going to have good luck during the
year, that you have enemies
whose schemes, however, to do
you i'll will be frustrated; you are
going to live a long time and get
much money. Yes, she loves you
although a dark-haired man is try
ing to cut you out.
All that balderdash for a piece
of silver.
Monday they followed farmer
into the Peoples drug store and
talked 65 cents out of his pocket,
but they were arrested and fined
81. 80 for not having a license, Just
as Ed Shanahan became interested.
When Marshal Ledbetter led the
before Mayor Sheehan the
latter asked if they could read the
future. One of them disguised
her face with what she thought
was a sweet smile (but the urbane
mayor is above female blandish-
nents) and answered that they
we're going to be dismissed.
"Ihere's no silver in this, for |
you ! mean," retorted the mayor,
'and that, | guess, is the reason
,ou're wrong. | fine you $3.50"
The fine was paid but later one
f the women was heard cussin'
'ack when her husband was scold-
ng her for being a fool and getting
aught.

UNDER HIS WIFE'S NAME.
How a Discarded Writer Continued
to Sell His Literary Pro-
ductiOns.

"A brief marriage notice, which /
ran across recently in a northwest
ern newspaper, reminded me Of a
very curious story said an old re-
porter, who likes to prowl through
the exchanges, says the New Orleans
Iimes-Democrat. "A good many
years ago, when ! was a mere youngs-
ter myself, one of the star hack writ
ers in the profession was man
named well, call him Nawton, which
is near enough for the purposes of
the yarn He was a phenomenally
versatile chap and could do almost
anything from a leading editorial to
a column Of jokes; but he had a
most cantankerous disposition, and,
what was worse, was confirmed
dipsomaniac He was tolerated for a
long time on account of his extraor-
dinary usefulness, but between his
sprees and his quarrels he was event
ually barred in almost every office
in the northeast. With that he lost
his grip entirely, had a brief career
as a drunkard and then suddenly
disappeared from view. 1t was vague
" reported that he had been hurt
in a runaway accident and died in
some hospital, but nobody took the
trouble to inquire. As il afterward
turned out, he had received spinal in
juries that made him cripple for
life, and at the time he was sup
posed to be dead was slowed away
in back bedroom Of a cheap board
ing house in Boston. His mind was
as active as ever, and. as he was in
desperate straits financially, he con-
ceived the ruse Of grinding out some
copy and getting his wife to sell
it, under her maiden name, as her
own production. He coached her
thoroughly for her interviews with
the editors, and the scheme worked
to charm To my certain knowl-
edge they lived in that way for eight
or nine years, and during the entire
time the secret never leaked out.
Nawton's infrmities had broken him
of the drink habit, but he remained
a bed-ridden invalid, paralyzed in
both legs. He used to scribble his
matter on rough paper in bed and his
wife would make careful copy, after
which she would take or mail it to |
the publishers. He wrote sketches.
verses, essays-a little of everything, !
in short, and I think his incognito be-
came eventually a sort of monomania.
Anyhow, he took extraordinary pains
to preserve it, and even now the facts
Of his latter life are known to but
very few. He died suddenly in 1894
or 1895. and his wife went out west
to her parents. The publishers to
whom she had been selling manu-
script for SO long couldn't understand
why she suddenly ceased to write.

NIX & T Reduces Rites in Indian
Territory

Ever since the construction of the
M. X. & Il. Ry. through the Indian
Territory its local passenger rate be-
tween stations in the Indian Terri
tory has been on the basis OF five cents
a mile. The customary rate of pas
sehger fares on railroads except in
sparsely settled country, is three
cents mile. The population OF the
Indian Territory has grown rapidly;
there has been large increase OF
passenger traiiic on this account, and
the Katy officials, recognizing the
wants of the people and the justice Of
so doing, have voluntarily arranged
TO reduce the local passenger rate to
a basis OF three cents a mile. This
reduction will take effect about Nov
ember first. There will be great re-
joicing among the residents along
