eral Austrian fishermen who were In
the vicinity were stood UP, II was re-
lated last night. and made to jump into
the river, under penalty OF death. Fin
ally Allen himself fell into the river,
and when Officer Thompson came
along he found the disturber in the
water Allen gave officers Thompson
and Stark considerable trouble, but
they landed him In jail.

The council last night Strengthened
out the city hall contract muddle and
adopted n resolution to settle the con-
troversy between Ferguson & Hous-
ton and the city. 1t appears that the
original plans showed that four steel
cells, or dungeons, were TO be installed
In the Jail, but the specifications made
no provision for the partitions. Like
wise provision for padding the con-
templated padded cell was omitted.
The contractors had been assured by
the architect that the omissions were
intentional. Last night the council
discussed the matter, and finally adopt
ed resolution authorizing the con-
tract without the building of the cells.
The cells are to be partitioned off at a
later date, If 1t is deemed expedient
to do this. Work on the building will
be begun this morning. The contrac-
tors are anxious to have a representa-
tive OF the city on the ground when the
start is made, and Chairman Hansen,
of the public property committee, was
instructed to wire Mr.. Schacht, the
architect, to be here

pleased with the arrangements. The

the theater was constructed with a

the 1903 season. This peculiarity Of
the present season will have a bene-

them. A few tules are entering the

We imagine some Democrats will

Roosevelt has our distinct admiration
for the ultima tum which he has Civ

who have captured two American citi-
zens and are holding them for ransom.
He has stated officially through Sec
rotary Hay that he would land de-
tachment or brigade, if necessary,
of American cavalry and pursue the
brigands antil every one of them if
necessary were killed. And the most
significant part of his statement was
that he would not consider for a
moment any interference from any
power, of this proposal TO anihilate
this band of robbers. who have terror

A portion of Grand avenue has
been fenced in on the property Of the
Episcopal church. This spoils this
thoroughfare greatly. A month or
more ago warning was issued by
this paper that steps should be taken
to secure the general width of 100 feet
for the road, but the warning was not
needed and it is now measly country
road, instead of a splendid continuous
thoroughfare from Grand avenue.
Whether this action was taken arbi-
trarily by the tenant, or by orders
from the church is not known. 1t
does not seem possible that if the
chu rch knew conditions regarding the
road and the great additional value
to their property in maintaining an
avenue 100 feet wide, that they would
have permitted it to be fenced.
There is a way of course in securing
the road by condemnation proceedings,
hut that procedure would cost money.
The parties directly interested are
those whose lands abut on the road.
1t is of more consequence to lands. to
make them of value by maintaining a
splendid roadway, than to narrow
same down to the boundaries of a
country road. There is no personal
interest in the matter with The Sem
tinel. save the Interest of the general
good. But we believe the matter can
be righted by an appeal to the Episco-
pal church authorities now. instead
of waiting until the present fence
becomes permanent fixture.
