other words, the sections of the Lake
Front between Michigan avenue and
the tracks and the new piece represent
ed by the submerged lands east of the
present shore line between Randolph
street and Park row.
The senate committee has already
reported favorably on the bill for an
additional bond issue for the south
parks, to enable that taxing body to
carry out the plans for additional
small parks in various localities on
the south side. The Lincoln park ex-
tension project, by which 215 acres are
to be added at a cost of $1,000,000,
will also be taken up this week, and

senate.
The senate will also take up this
week the Torrens law amendment.

death; the Mueller municipal owner
ship bill, the enabling act for street
railways in Chicago, which is likely
to be passed. and number of other
important Chicago measures.

Due to Nervousness.

1t was always thought by many
that any apparent contradiction was
due to the nervousness of Miss Miller
at the time of the interview secured
at ~ home by men from AledC. On
the witness stand her story was al
ways the same, saying that Miss Dun
lap handed the sack to Allie Dool and
the latter selected from several
creams in it the ones which she ate.
The sentiment of the people in the
community has been strongly i'm Miss
Miller's favor. for they did not think
she had done wrong. They will APP
prove of Mr.. Graham's decision to
dismiss the case against her.

Had a Fine Crowd.

Twenty-Five car loads of excursion
lists from Springfield and Urbana,
came up for an outing at Silver Lake,
Wednesday. There were two sections
of the train-twenty-five cars loaded
with good looking men and better
looking women. They represented
the Grocers' Associations from the
two cities, and as they came for a
good time they brought their fam
ilias with them. The crowd was es-
timated at from 1900 to 100. They
had a delightful day, and a splendid
outing. Mayor Bowlus, who was here
with the Commercial Club 4 week or
two ago, liked it well enough to come
back with much larger crowd.

Rev. d. G. Collins, the Presbyterian
missionary to Siam, who was sent out
from this presbytery and has spent
some ten years in that field, has had
his vacation extended till October.
He was in our city Tuesday, and hear
ing the story of Miss Emily Brown,
the daughter of Presbyterian mis-
sionary, being married to the King OF
Corea, and made Queen, laughed at
it, and plaeed no eredeRce in the re-
port. He does not think an Ameri-
can missionary's daughter would
marry any heather, and does not
think the Coreans would recognize a
foreign queen. Like all other ma
tions, heather and Christian, in thi:
and all ages, they look upon all for
eigners as interiors.
