on a journey on that day. Here is a
partial list of important historical
events that happened on Friday; read
it and then make up your mind wheth.
er or not the day deserves its ''ru-
lucky" reputation: The Mayflower
landed; the Bastile was burned; Mos
COW was burned; Washington was
born; Shakespeare was born; Ameri-
ca was discovered; Lincoln was assas-
sinated; Queen Victoria was married:
the battle of Marengo was fought:
Charles l. was beheaded; the battle
of Waterloo was fought; julius Gaze
sar was assassinated; the battle Of
New Orleans was fought; Joan of Arc
was burned at the stake; the Dec
laration of Independence was signed

think about the day?

THE COUNCIL IN SESSION
Considers Passage of Building In

The city council met in regular
session on Monday evening. After
the regular business of allowing, the
bills of the month. the council took
upssome matters of importance.
The people living on Washington
Avenue and adjacent thereto have
petitioned the Council to construct
sanitary sewer from the North School
building down Washington Avenue to
connect with the Public School sewer.
This matter has been under consider
alton by the Council for some time
and the papers have all been rrepar-
ed but the matter was laid on the
table until all the members of the
council could be present. as Mr..
Lane is quarantined for diptheria.
and Mr.. Mailer was out of town.
The matter will be passed upon in
the near future.
Fire Chief C. C. Kemming has re-
commended to the council that the
city should have building ordinance.

the city and especially regulating the
construction Of chimneys and flues. as
most of the fires in the city are caused
either BY fiues that are improperly
constructed. or that have been neglect

Under the ordinance contemplated the
construction of flues would be re-
gulated and all flues would be inspect

WORK OF DISTRICT COURT.
Grand Jurys Report is Expected
Tomorrow-Said that Hassans
will be Indicted.

Judge F. M. Powers arrived Mon
day noon and convened the second
week of the district court. The first
jury of the court for the present term
was called. The jurymen were near
ly all on hand but some of them pre-
senting excuses were excused from
duty and allowed to go home but
enough were left to be sure of gett-
ing a jury every time for the trial of
the cases.
The first case assigned for trial
was Rollins vs. Fitzgerald. being an
action for the appointment of guard
ian for Mrs. Fitzgerald who is now
in the state insane hospital. M. E.
Jones WAS appointed guardian and
there was no trial.
The case of Bonar vs. Lane and The
American Bonding Co. of Baltimore
was the first case in which there as q
trial. This is an action brought by
Sarah Bonar against Ed Lane and The
American Bonding Co. Of Baltimore.
Ed Lane was in the saloon business in
Dow City and had as security on his
mulct tax bond The American Bond
ing Co. The husband of Sarah Bonar
procured liquor from this saloon and
Was injured thereby thus causing
damage to his wife, tn. plaintiff in
this action. The cause was pursued to
judgment against Ed Lane and a judg-
ment for sl800.0O was secured. The
case was continued at that time as to
the American Bonding Company and
came up for trial at this time.
The case was one containing many
fine points of law and each step taken
in the trial was fought over and
every thing covered. thus taking near
ly three days for the trial. The plain
tiff relied upon the contention that
Ed. Lane secured the bond of Geo.
Richardson who held himself out to
be. and as matter of fact had been
sating fcrsa long time. as agent fol-
the Amrican Bonding Co.. in the ex-
eeution of like bonds. and in fact had
executed about twenty-five such
bonds.

HARTMAN ON RAILROADS.
Thinks Roads VIII Have to Be Rebuilt
with Wider Gauge.


In discussing the railroad question
in New York city yesterday T.. II. Har.
riman said:
1.-THE railroads of the United States
will have TO be rebuilt with much
heavier rails and with a gauge of 4
feet s 10 inches This change will
come within the next 10 years, and
the roads of 1917 will be ms much in
advance Of the roads of 1907 as the
roads Of today are an improvement

imagine them, op electric engines will
have to be provided. ! think in time
the latter win be more feasible. The
locomotive with the present gauge of
| tracks has reached its capacity. The
freight ear of the present will have to
give way 10 an all steel freight ear
which will be two feet wider, two feet
higher and several feet longer II will
at the same time be possible to make
the ear much lighter in proportion to
carriage capacity than the present ear.
and this will effect a great saving in
the cost of transportation. Grades will
be reduced everywhere. tunnels will
have to be enlarged, bridges must be
rebuilt to make them equal TO the |
strain of increased loads that will pass
over them. To do all of these things |
will cost billions of dollars-nobodv |
can tell how many billions.n

subject of finance and he deplored the
fact that the money question and the
