Mr.. BETzIS WORRIED
Hasn't Heard From Firm That
Bid for City's Bonds.

City Comptroller Betz is becoming
anxious about the 100000 worth of
city Improvement bonds which the city
finance committee disposed Of to Chi
cago parties over two weeks ago.
Not a word has been heard from the
firm since it was notified of the ac-
ceptance of it's bid, and there is a sus-
picion that the company wants to pull
out on the ground of alleged unconsti-
nationality of the act authorizing the
issue.
Il should have heard from the COM
pany before this; in fact, wired it to-
day asking for an explanation" said
City Comptroller Betz yesterday. "but
then there is no cause for alarm. IT
was stipulated when the bids were ac-
cepted that the 100000 should be in
the hands of the city treasurer by Nov.
10, and that date has not arrived vet.
If the company fails we have it's for
felt OF $4,000. l admit 1 am a trife

If there should be any hitch in the
sale of the bonds the work of prepar-
ing the coming budget for next year
would be seriously embarrassed. The
bonds were for the purpose of aiding
next years budget to the end that the
tax levy would be reduced by the
amount of the bonds.
The comptroller is preparing COM
pflation of the budget for next year and
will have it ready for the considera-
ton of the conference committee, which

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Judge Hlne Has a Novel Point
of Law to Decide.

Tobacco is deadly poison for cows, If
the allegations in a complaint filed in
the municipal court by George Bodley,
Edgerton and Nebraska streets, against
Henry f. Boehne, 1861 ArkWright
street, are correct.
Boehne, according to the complaint
in a suit for damages for the loss OF
three cows, recently made a bonfire OF
a heap of tobacco in the street near his
home, and the leaves of the ''noxious
weed consigned to the flames had been
partly consumed when three innocent
bossies belonging to Bodley, pastured
near by, broke a fence and, attracted.
presumably, by the fragrant odor of
the burning tobacco. ran to the fire,
extinguished the smoldering sparks
with their feet ate the remnants, lick
ed up the ashes from the ground, and,
as a result soon after died
The defendant in his answer does not
deny placing the tobacco in the street,
but asserts that he is not liable for
the death of the COWS, as they had no
right to be upon a public street.
The plaintiff rejoins that said COWS
were pastured and kept within a prop
erly fenced Enclosure in the vicinity OF
the highway, where defendant had de-
posted said waste tobacco, and that,
without his knowledge, said COWS broke
down a part of the fence surrounding
said Enclosure, escaped therefrom and
before plaintiff was appraised of their
being at large, they had eaten said to-
bacco, licked up the ashes thereof and
had been poisoned thereby"
The case will be argued before Judge

TURKEYS FOR POOR
Christian Endeavorers to Look
After 100 Families.

Thanksgiving dinners for at least 100
poor families of the city will be pro-
vided by the Christian Endeavor union.
Plans for distributing the dinners
were discussed at the quarterly meet
ing Of the union last evening at the
First Presbyterian church, Lincoln
avenue and Grotto street.
The meeting was attended by repre-
sentatives from almost all the Endeav-
or societies of the city, and good deal
of enthusiasm was shown in the plans
for gladdening many homes on the
day Of universal thanksgiving John
E. Frisbie, who is in charge of the
distribution, asked every society to
contribute as many dinners as possible
and also to send in the names of de-
serving families in their churches.
The families suggested by the So
cieties will be provided for first. The
other families will be chosen from
list of names provided by Secretary
Hutchins, of the Relief society, and the
Associated Charities. The Endeavor-
ers intend to provide we'll filed bas-
kets for each family and a turkey or
some other fowl will be one of the i'm
portant items in each basket. Last
year dinners were provided for about
10 families.
Rev. w. H. w. Boyle, of the House
of Hope church, addressed the meet
ing. He spoke on "The Christian En-
deavor; Its>Problems and Its Powers"
Rev. Mr.. Boyle urged the members
to use more energy in their work and
to throw more of the spiritual into it,
Readiness to work for God, resolu-
ton to work for God and reliance in
God are three traits which every En-
deavorer should have" said Rev. Mr..
Boyle.
In speaking of the social life of the
societies, Rev. Mr.. Boyle made a plea
for higher plane of entertainment.
He asked them to strive for the intel
lectual and the aesthetic. rather than
the light, disgusting entertainments
such as socials, at which, he said, he
had found machines for marrying old
maids" or feet guessing contests" the

clared, We're demoralizing
