ing the La Sale. Washington ana Van

The Mayor appointed Aldermen Fou-
eek. sullivan. Raymer. thinner and
Ehemann u committee for relieving

Somebody ought to appoint com
mlttee for relieving the sufferers of
Chicago. who are suffering untold mis-
cries through HarrlsOnlsm. Such a
committee should adopt speedy meas.
ures to relieve Harrison Of the May
orally. That would have the desired
result.
