Snake Trainer Caused Some Con-

nature was that resulting from an un-
invited and unsupported snake exhi-
bitten in Illinois Central shop yards

stranger was discovered by Night

you want in these yards?' Smith

time or two. and finally was aroused
to sufficient degree OF wakefulness

PARK ON TENTH ST.
WILL Be GRADED
And BEAU7IFIED
Old Eyesore Will be Converted
into Pleasure Ground. With
Walks. Driveways. Lawn
Trees and Drinking FOun-
tains By Park Board.
HUMANE sOCIETY's FOUNTAIN.

The board of park commissioners
will meet next week to let the con
tract for the grading aad improve
ment of the park property at Tenth
street and Broadway. The 100 feet
OF ground there will be laid off into
square the city building a 1G-foot
driveway The remainder of the
ground will be graded and put in Or
der for grass and flowers A walk
way through the center is planned,
while a drinking fountain will be
placed at the Broadway entrance. The
letting of the contract will be the
beginning of the consummation of the
plans, that have been cherished by
public spirited citizens so long for
the Improvement of that section of
the city, which. although the heart of
the city. has been an eyesore on ac-
count of the unsightly buildings
there and the conditions in the rear
on Kentucky avenue between Ninth
and Eleventh streets.
Drinking Fountain.
Another Improvement, which will
probably be made on South Tenth
street, is the $1,000 drinking foun-
tain to be presented the city by the
National Humane society, as that
street is the only available place that
the fountain could be located to
comply with the conditions imposed
by the society, it being stipulated that
the fountain must be placed in a
street. where it will do the most
good. being for use and not particu-
larly for show The fountain will be
built so that stock can get to 1t from
all sides, and South Tenth street
seems to furnish all the necessary re-
quirements according to people who
are informed on the matter. II is
said that a large number of teams
hauling heavy loads are driven over
that street every day besides ma
iority of the hacks and baggage wag-
ons going to and from tho Union sta
ton also pass that way several times
each day and night
A point al Second street and Broad
way has also been suggested as fine
location for the fountain, but il is
not believed that enough space could
be had there for it.
