MAY BUILD
 NEW HALL. ].

According Co the way matters stand at the present time it would seem as though it will be necessary practically to rebuild the city hall entirely.
 No meeting of the council was held last evening as anticipated, but the members are discussing the matter quietly between themselves. No loss need come to the city at all, as the materials of the buildings will cover the amount which the council agreed to pay the contractors for moving it.
 The building may, however, be still divided into small parts and patched together again on Front street. How ever, nothing seems to have been de- cided and the matter is still unsettled.

CHlLDREN'S HEALTH IS
 NDANGERED

In spite of the recommendation re- gently made by the grand jury the pco- pie of Nome seem to pursue the even tenor of their way without eyer paus- ing to consider the danger now con fronting the children of Nome through the overcrowded condition of the pllb- lie schools and the lack of vmula- tion.
 The grand jury recently declared the schools overcrowdcd and the arrange ments for ventilation bad, but so far no steps have been taken for the amcu- oration of the conditions.
 The Nugget today had a hurried cx- animation of those conditions made and found that they were such that true knowledge If them would caus, the whole community to demand i'm provement at once
 Some of the class rooms are not overcrowded and are fairly we'll ven tilated, taking the number of pupils oc- cupying them into account, but others are sufficient to cause one to believe that some carclcssuess is being shown or that money must be very short in- deed.
 In one of the class rooms. for m- stance. can be seen little tots croWdinp every inch of space and depending for ventilation on few tiny vontilators that are hardly sufficient for one tu breathe directly through.
 The conditions in the laboratory are still more unwhocsome and positively dangerous
 That important part of the building is nothing but a miserable attic. whose roof comes down to the head of one standing Qa the floor.
 The pupils are constrained to study and experiment with noxious gases. acids and SO forth. while the room. were there no chemicals ever kept there at all, would hardly be suffici- ently spacious for the comfortable and wholesome existence of one individual.
 There under that low, dry roof alco- hol lamps and such things are brought into requisition and the danger is ex- treme.

DOGS POISONED WHILE TIED UP

Four fine dogs belonging to John dead this morning at the ends of the ropes to which they were tied last night as usual.
 The cause of the deaths was evi dently poison, and the fact that they wer poisoned while tied up seems to be strong evidence that the dose was administered wilfully.
 Although it would be possible for them to have picked up the poison while at liberty and not to feel the effects until later the finding of the whole batch dead leads people to think that the poison must have been dis tributed in equal quantities and about the same time.
 It seems to eliminate the theory that dogs are being poisoned by picking up the poisoned bodies of rats, as it is hardy likely that either the four dogs would feed off one rat or that the four partners would have found more than one poisoned rate about the same time.
 On the whole the occurrence is very suspicious, and added to the poisoning of other dogs makes it seem certain that some miscreant with poisoning mania is using his nights for the pur- pose of destroying as many of the ami mals as possible.
 A more careful watch will be kept in the future and the matter cleared up.

WANTS MRS.
GAME AS WITNESS
WOMAN WHO is SUPPOSED TO
HAVE INSPIRED THAW TO KILL
WHITE BEING LOOKED FOR.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Jan. 29.-District Attor-
ney Jerome's subpoena servers are
looking for Mrs. ]. J. Caine. the WON
an who it is supposed inspired Harry
Thaw to shoot White. She knows a
great deal about the early relations
between White and Evelyn Thaw and
about the Thaw and Nesbit families.
Jack Barrymore, the actor, was
in the court today at the behest of
jerome. He was a close friend to
Evelyn before she met Thaw.
Thaw was told today that he must
not interfere in the selection of jur-
ors On Monday he rejected a pros
pective juror who had been accepted
by his counsel. Thaw appeared more
calm today than he has in court here
tofore.
John S. Dennee. a travelling freight
agent, aged 40 years, and a single
man. was selected as the tenth juror.
All of the Thaw family are in the
court room today. All except the
Countess of Yarmouth greeted Evelyn
in an apparently friendly manner.
Harry Thaw is in happy mood to-
day.
E. V. Boynton was excused because
he knew counsel.
Daniel Martin, a clerk, was favor
able to the defense but was challenged
by Jerome.
Sydney Salamen, n broker, had
scruples against the death penalty.
and was excused as a juror
The Thaw family brought their
lunches to court May Mckenzie was
also present with Evelyn.

Washington, Jan. 29.-As the facts
are coming to light regarding the
episode at the Gridiron club dinner
Saturday night. it was evidently an
affair far more serious than had been
generally supposed.
1t is said the president made it
plain that he was talking to Senator
Foraker in his remarks on the Browns
vile affair. and in his criticism of GER
tain senators.
Senator Foraker Immediately ac-
cepted the challenge. according to one
present, and proceeded to read the
president lecture which will live in
the memory of the guests who were
present.
Foraker said he would oppose the
president when he was in the wrong,
and should always do so; that that
was the way he saw his duty to his
conscience, to his constituency. and to
his country.

TEXAS ANTI-PAss BILL.

Congress Favored.


Austin, Texas, Jan. 2S-The house
committee on common carriers today
held an interesting session, in which
II discussed the various anti-free pass
bills that are before It, 1t seems to
be the idea of the committee to report
favorably on a substitute bill. which
is almost identical with the law pass
ed by congress. Peace officers are
not exempted under the substitute.
Judge Terry of the Santa Fe in ad-
dressing the committee stated that as
citizen he would like TO see sheriffs
and other peace officers ride free.
Judge Yoakum of the Frisco was of
the same opinion, saying that the pres.
ence of officers was necessary at times
and especially on excursion trains.
Judge Garwood said that he was
heartily in favor with the idea, but
that provisions should be made for
express company employees to ride
free
Objections we're made to drastic
penalties.
