A GOOD ORDINANCE.

THE NEW ordinance relating to street work, pub
lshed in the EXPRESS yesterday is of the best ev-
er written OH the ordinance books If it is effectively
enforced thought to result in great improvements for
Our streets Every citizen ought to be familiar with
its principal features brief review of these is there
fore in order
All persons between the ages Of eighteen and
fortyve years who have resided in the city thirty
days are subject to street work provided they cannot
prove physical disability No person can be required
to work more than six days in any one year nor more
than three days at any time This leaves it OPP
tonal with the officers within the six days limit to
the amount Of work to Be required After all who are
liable to street work have performed three days labor
if appears that additional work needed the street
commissioner may begin on the list again and have
additional summons issued This will make possible
larger amount of work than can be secured under the
old ordinance
The ordinance provides that any one who is sum-
moned to work may pay lieu Of such service one
dollar per day
A very important feature Of the ordinance is that
which provides for the listing BY police officers Of all
persons subject to work These lists turned over
to the city clerk and whenever the street commissioner
wants he makes requisition upon the clerk who
has the proper summons issued. Heretofore many
have escaped service through failure to list them If
the police officers use due diligence this evil will be
corrected and the city will be hundreds Of dollars the
richer.
The ordinance also contains elaborate provisions
for making returns upon summons and reports from
every officer connected with its enforcement. Such a
system cannot fail to bring good results.
It lis timely ordinance. There is more i'm
porant issue before the city administration at the
present time than street improvements. While this
ordinance cannot bring about the great improvements
needed its rigid enforcement will go a long way
toward lettering existing conditions

THE SALES DAY IDEA

THE PLAN Of having special sales days has been
adopted by a number Of towns and the results have
been very satisfactory On these days the merchants
advertise special bargains and extra inducements are
given to draw trade from distant territory 1t might
be possible for the country trade Of Chckasha to be
built up by this plan. At any rate it is policy worth
considering
Fl Reno recently adopted the plan and the FL
Reno Democrat has the following say in regard to
it,
Yesterday the merchants Of FL Reno adopted
new policy Nearly every business house in the city
offered bargains in special lines, many articles being
marked down 10 less than wholesale cost. These
facts advertised and the crowds Of farmers on
the streets yesterday atesed that the advertisements
had been read and believed People came from
towns and from all portions of the county
They bought extensively, and merchants report an
enormous trade.
One OF the objects of the merchants in making
the low prices which they did, was to induce more
farmers to to FL Reno, in order that they might
be convinced that they can save money by trading
here. Ell Reno is the great market center Of this re-
products at the highest prices and the large sales
here enable the merchants to give lower prices than
can be done where lighter business is transacted
This they determined to do, and hereafter every
Wednesday will be made a special sales day. when
every article needed in home life can be bought at
prices lower than ever before heard Of
Yesterday business dida greatdea to strength
en- the bonds of friendship existing between the El
Reno merchants and their farmer friends and each
week hereafter will still further strengthen them

Queer Chatham Island.

One fthequeerest corners of the
earth is Chatham island, off the
coast of Ecuador. This island lies
600 miles west of Guaaaguil, and
the equator runs directly through
it. Capt. Reinman, who was sent
to the Galapagos group of islands
to inquire into the proper ground
ing of a deep-sea cable stopped at
Chatham island, and says it
abounds in cats, every one of
which is black. These animals
live in the crevices of the lava
foundation near the coast, and sub
sist by catching fish and crabs in
stead of rats and mice. Other an
imals found on the island arc
horses, cattle, dogs, goats and
chickens, all Of which are perfectly
wild.

SPOILED THE GOOD EFFECT
He Would Most Certainly Have Saved
Her Life, But Engine Went
the Other Way.

He had for days been trying to
gain an encouraging look from
the disdainful damsel, and now at
last it seemed to the young man
that his chance-the chance of a
-lifetime-had arrived.
She had been tripping over the
common in front of him, but in
crossing the railway line she ap-
peared to have got her foot fixed
in the points, for she stood and
screamed Justify.
The young man dashed like
lightning to her assistance, for
only few hundred yards away
the headlight of an engine glowed
through the dusk.
"Couragew he cried. ''Don't
struggle, Miss Bellairs-Aramin
ta; 1 will save you" And he
whipped out his penknife.
"Oh, don'tv she exclaimed.
"I must" he insisted; "it is the
only way"
She tried to protest, but grasp
ing her waist with one protecting
arm he stopped and cut the shoe
lace. Then, wrenching her foot
from the shoe, he threw her fren-
ziedly on the bank. With the eff
fort he lost his balance, but not
his presence of mind, for with d
spring like that of a fish he hurled
himself from the metals to the
side of the rails.
He arose, painting and breath
less, to find the young lady an
grily trying to brush the mud from
her gown.
"You hateful manw she ex-
claimed.
For a moment he was stupefed,
"NVhy-what-I beg your par
-don," he stammered.
you've spoiled my best Dress .
she said, viciously; you've cUt
my foot and ruff1ed my hair. Tn

trying to tell you that the engine
was going the other wayw
He looked up the line mechan-
ically.. Yes, it was true. The en-
gine was nearly out of sight.

sense" she said, as she climbed d
the bank and limped away, while
The young man, blighted and de
pairing object, turned to muse on
he peryersity of women and the
utility of everything.

On ABSENCE OF THE NOSE
Without This Organ Life Would Not
Be Worth Living-one Form
of Punishment.

As the learned physician has oh
served, ssthe nose is very beeonl-
ng part of the face" and it's value
this respect is never fully ap
,reciatcd until it is lost. Such
deprivation, however it may have
zen brought about, entails til;
sufferer extreme misery. The alb
;enee of a nose is SO utterly oIsl-
ious that it must be seen b.
very one, and the effect on tie
5atient may be much greater than
night have ben anticipated. '1Tha
,ssticnt consequently shuns soei-
ety and every appearance in pub,
-le, and often is oppressed with /
self-loathing and abasement
almost amounting to the blacklist
accident or through gangrene
rom cold, and Maisonneuve has
described case in which the or
gan was congenitally absent; but
Undoubtedly the absence of nose
S in many cases to be attributed
to less reputable canse. and it
S not improbable thai this pop
1lar ascription of the origin of the
esion is, in part at least, the ex-
llanation of the very great mem
al effect of the loss of a nose.
In some parts of the world, es-
oecially Italy and India, it has
3een customary to em,loy remov.
4 of the nose as a form Of puEssil h.
hsnt, sometimes judicial. but
fly as a mode of CARRYING out
,1iyate revenge. Especially in
some districts of India is it consid-
ered il suitable form of punish
! 1ant for a husband to to infict on
A wife whose conduct he does not
approve. Among the Romans this
/ penalty was not at all rarely in
Hicted, both by law and private
animosity. Inasmuch as the evil
was especially prevalent in Ger
tain countries, it would not be un
reasonable to expect that meth
| DDS of treatment should first arise
there, and so it proved; for coun
1 tries which were preeminent il
possessing numbers of suitable
subjects for operation were the
| first in which operations were de
| yised and practiced for the relic
of the deformity. -

FIND CAUSE FOR DISEASE.
Sleeping Sickness, It Is Said, Can Be
Attributed to the .Try-
panosomiasis.n

An important and valuable dis
coyery relative to the deadly
sleeping sickness has been made
by the Liverpool School of Tropi-
cal Medicine, says the Scientific
American. The cause of this dis
ease, according to the results of
elaborate diagnoses that have
been made, is attributable to "try-
panosomiasis, i. e., the presence in
the blood, and in the fluids of the
brain and spinal cord, of some
form of the microscopic parasite
known as "trypanosoma," which
is propagated by the tsetse fly in
South Africa. From the close OBJ
servations that have been made
upon the afflicted patients, the
symptoms and the danger bear
some relation to the greater or
less abundance of the parasites,
and develop seriously when they
have entered the cerebro-spinal
fluid. The parasite may be present
in the blood of deeply-seated or
gans, when they are not to be
found in that which is drawn from
a skin puncture, and their frequent
temporary disappearance from
this surface blood renders it diff
cult sometimes to be certain of
their presence in the system. The
expedition organized by the school
also discovered blood-sucking
larva, which thrives in many parts
of the Congo. During the daytime
this larya conceals itself in the
cracks of the native floors, and
only attacks it's victims during the
night. When dug up they are
found to be full of bright red
blood, thereby testifying to the
severity of their attack during the
previous night. 1t is the larva Of
the Glossina fywhich is apparent
ly harmless in the image state.
This discovery is of great value,
and systematic measures to COM
bat It's injurious nature will at
once be inaugurated.

LIoNEss ATTACKS TRAINER
subtlety of an Expert Trainers Judg-
ment of His Beasts Shown
by Incident.

When the Tiger Princess was
going to give up one of her old per-
formers because he was getting
sulky and peevish, Sterrett looked
over the troupe and said:
"That one is all right, but the
one over in the corner will bear
watching"
''Why, the man acts like fool, .
said the princess. "That's Zulka.
She's the best actor I've got"
,Sterrett laughed. sTrain an un-
derstudy,o he advised. cpl Civ,
Zulka three weeks to retire from
the stage. She's going bad"
Zulka was a beautiful young
lioness; one of the best trick
beasts Pve ever known and one Of
the very few that seemed to have {.
genuine affection for the trainer.
says McClure's Magazine As I
rule the felines don't exhibit the
softer emotions. They feel for
men either Indifference or dis
taste. But this lioness used to
show signs of pleasure when her
mistress entered the cage, and I've
seen her put her muzzle up against
the bars to fawn on the queen.
Two weeks after Sterrett's advice,
to which we paid little heed THAT
was when | knew less about him
than subsequently learned), /
saw the lioness caressing the WON
an at the close of the performance.
As the Tiger Princess entered the
cage the next day there was a
snarl and scream and she was
down. Zulka- had her. Forum
ately some of us we're near. We
beat the animals off-of course,
some of the other beasts had to
pitch in, seeing their tyrant down
and got the woman out with nc
worse injury than a broken arm
and a badly clawed back.
