 The trouble, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, began one night two weeks ago, while Edwards was engrossed in book and his wife was playing q guitar. Suddenly she became aware of yellow light in front of her that strayed about the room, assumed the form of a gigantic sword, passed three times under her husbands chair, and then disappeared. The second evening after this Edwards saw the same vision as he started to leave his home to go to the village store for a few minutes. The great sword of fire passed across the road in front of him, then van ished
 Other ghostly manifestations have been seen by the Edwards family and their neighbors. Thomas Martin and his wife, who live next door, allege to have seen the figure of a man emerge through the solid outer door of the house, inch by inch. Mrs. Edwards has seen strange faces peering at her from her windows and doorways. A pillar of fire has appeared to her more than once. The Edwards home is known as the haunted house" and the family is prepazing to move.

The court this morning was characterized by the expression, .Oh, such a biz nesSn' The first case was that of a young man named Henry Walsh, who was arrested last night by Officer Ma lone for being drunk and raising a dis turbance. He was fined S5 and costs. The next case on the docket was that of two Polanders who be- came mixed up in quarrel Sunday night, the result of which landed Mi- chael Pukez in court yesterday morn ing for assaulting his wife, and the case was continued until this morn ing. When the case was taken up the court was nearly filled with Po- flanders, some of whom were there as witnesses and others as spectators. The evidence taken was to the effect that visitors called at Pukez's house and later were joined by a saloon keeper, who brought bottle of whis- key with him and then the fight be- gan. Pukez thought it was time for the visitors to leave and told them so, but his wife objected and it is al- legged that he then punched her and cheWed her fingers. Other evidence was taken, but it was practically of no interest and had little bearing on the case.

his own discretion, was transmitted to the board of aldermen.
 In reply to a question of President Lawlor, Health Officer Kilmartin said that there were forty-four men quar- antined at the Salvation Army shelter or South Main street. That 1t was costing the city 29 cents day for food for each of them and they were re celving all that they needed. It costs about $100 week for all the men. The board then adjourned.
 As seen by reading the report of the above meeting the smallpox case is going to cost the city or somebody a snug little sum of money. Health Officer Kilmartin will receive $10O a week, the cost of supply of food to the lodgers at the Salvation Army shelter house will be about $100 a week, two nurses will have to be paid S42 a week, and then there has been and probably will be 8 number of incidental ex- penses. It will cost the city about $275 week in all probability.

 Joseph Bryant of this place started for his old home in Pennsylvania last Friday, with the intention of attending 8 banquet given by society of Welsh men, of which Mir Bryant is a mem- Der. He had more than hard luck, as he failed to reach his destination on account of the floods. Besides, he got stalled in one place, with no means of getting away from there except to walk The distance to the nearest railroad running trains on schedule time was near twenty miles. Mr Bryant walked it, got his train and ar rived home Saturday night He failed to see his friends and didn't get within good many miles of the banquet.

Commissioners DO Not Recommend

The District Commissioners have pre-
pared their report upon Senate bill 349O,
To open a street through block POS from
Fourteenth to Fifteenth Streets north
west. concurrent with the streets in the
adjacent blocks called WalIach Place and
Caroline Street"
The Commissioners state that the cost
OF the land improvements in the line OF
the proposed extension is $50 900 They
also state that the extension is Of local
character and would benefit only the lots
in the square abutting upon IT,
The bill does not carry" says the
Commissioners, ANY appropriation for
paying the awards. neither does it pro
vide how the assessments shall be paid
The provision that the entire cost Of the
opening shall be assessed against the
property IN the block seems 10 be eQuit-
able. as that is the only property which
would be benefited.
About $50 COS would have to be appro-
priated TO carry the bill into effect and
while this would probably be recOuDed
ultimately by the collection OF assess
ments. il would not be done for several
years according 10 the present method Of
collecting assessments of the character
in question. and in view Of the depleted
condition Of the municipal revenues the
Commissioners could not recommend that
this amount be expended for the purpose
