AGAINST LEVY INJUNCTION
City Attorney Cornell Moves to Dis
solve Courts Temporary
Restraining OrdeF.

City Attorney w. J. Connell has filed with
the district court a motion to dissolve Judge
Dickinson's temporary order restraining
the city council from making the tax levy
for 1902. Judge Dickinson has agreed to
hear argument on the motion Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock.
The Cornell motion alleges that the petit
tion for the injunction does not state facts
suficient to constitute a cause Of action.
ror SUFFICIENT to entitle the plaintiffs 20 any
other order; that IL does not truly state
facts, does not set forth all the proceedings
had and taken by the council sitting as a
board Of equalization relative to complaints
Of plaintiffs against the corporations they
had named, nor the action OF the board of
equalization with reference thereto.
The city attorney in his motion further
AYERS hat under a full and true statement
OF facts relating to this matter no such
order as that OF Judge Dickinson should
have been or can properly be
allowed, but that the true facts and all
the records relating to the matter and
necessary for a proper consideration Of the
application for injunction were fraudu-
lently and ~wrongfully suppressed and con-
cealed from Judge Dickinson at the time OF
making the application and securing the
order. In support Of his motion the city
attorney refers to the defendants answer to
be nled before the hearing and TO the
records OF the councils proceedings as a
board Of equalization.

helped himself from a bottle hanging on
the wall in the room. The story didn't

time. He was later sent TO his room at
Eleventh and Dodge streets, more scared

The author of "other Worlds and Of a
number Of other equally fascinating books

delightful writer and talker on his chosen
subject. Astronomy might lmost be called
with him a master passion, Certain II Is
that he puts into his books q degree OF en-
thusiasm that Is convincing. In his new
hook. 'Other Worlds" the point Of view Is
human interest in the worlds around us.
He recounts the latest discoveries among
the planets Of the solar system and shows
the bearing OF those discoveries upon the
question as to whether there is life. as we
understand Il, on those planets. The mar
ration points out the resemblanees and the
differences between the earth and the other
worlds that share with 1t in the light Of
the sun, and Il shows. IN the opinion OF as

could visit these planets. There is nrst n
chapter which reviews the subject gener-
ally. showing how great is the popular in
teresl in astronomy and In questions con-
corning the possibility Of inhabitants In
other worlds. There Is a decided tendency
in the popular mind TO believe that the
great planets must be inhabited. an I'M
conscious reasoning from analogy that Is
very natural and very human. Some other
matters are considered in this Introductory
chapter, and then he passes 10 the more
immediate consideration OF the subject,
taking up FIRST the planet Mercury, aud
showing that from the little We know about

emit sort OF world from our " earth. He
calls Il a world OF two faces and many
contrasts, and explains very interestingly
how this comes about. Next, he takes Up

ditions somewhat approximating to our

Gilbert & Clay's Cotton Letter to Goth
 ran & Go.
 New Orleans, May 31.-Another very quiet day in the cotton market has been recorded. There were no developments of any sort calculated to create the slight est ripple in the calmness that prevailed and traders seemed quite willing to enjoy the rest the opportunity afforded.
 Liverpool was in a state of incidence and hardly moved, so quotations in both departments were practically unchanged while the slight varation in prices here had no significance whatever.
 All attention Is directed now to the gov- ernment bureau report, and many are the coniectures as to what events will trans pire on the 3rd proximo though the general dispositoin is to take no active hand in the affair until the actual facts are known. The tendency is to look for a report conductive to lower prices, all though noen seems to be positively se.- tied on that point. At any rate what ever the immediate effect may be, there are more reports to be received during tn season and there is no assurance that all will be fattering. Meanwhile the trade is keeping close watch on the atti- tude of spinners and eagerly waiting for signs of substantial improvement in the demand for spots, in which event .avor- able new crop prospects would be tempor- arily lost sight of
