1t is Thought that this Change
Will Probably End
the Trouble.

1t now looks very much like the re-
cent ordinance passed by council regu-
lating the opening and closing hour of
the saloo1s will be amended at the
meeting of council Thursday night.
Mr.. MoGarvey, who offered the
amendment, making the hour of closir &
10 p. m. and the hour of opening 5a.
M, says he will again make an effort
to win out ON the amendment End as
those on the icside say that Mayor
Emanuel favors the amendment it
looks like it will win.
This, of oouse, is not what the ss.
loon men wanted but it will be some
better for them % an hour makes big
difference.
One ssrioue objection to the new or
dinanoe say the whiskey folks lie that
they will have to close up on Saturday
nights and as most OF them do thsir
