 c. A. Colley and 1T. A. Peck came near mobbing D. E. Wilson at the poultry show in City hall this after noon. MT Peck and MT Colley were looking at the chickens crawling out of the shells in one of the incubators of the Prairie State Co when MT Will son came along and tried to have them believe that the eggs which the chick ems were bursting through had not been in there over an hour. The men laughed at the statement, but MT VIII son attributed this to their ignorance as to what the incubators could do, and finally the discussion got so warm that MT Wilson found it to his inter. est to get out of the way. The in- cubators and the show in general are worth seeing, and as this is the last night it is believed that the place will be crowded.
 The sidewalks, crosswalks and the paved streets were very slippery this afternoon, so much so that walking man and beast. Superintendent Ref ley of the street department had a force of men at work sanding the 1 crossings and. in many places private l individuals helped pedestrians consid- siderably by putting little ashes on the walks in front of their premises. Horses stumbled on the paving blocks and in few instances the animals came down with thud. Things will l be worse tomorrow morning in case it freezes during the night, which Is | more than likely, 50 that people should be on their guard and owners of build l ings on property abutting the side walks should try and prevent accident l by getting around early and sanding l their walks.
