Morphine, Oh, give me NOR
phine!" cried James Samuel
Blaine last night in the county Jail.
His cries were blood-curdling and
horrifying in the extreme. Other
prisoners frantically rang the bell
calling the jailer, but it was too
late. Blaine, confirmed NOR
phine fiend, whose body demanded
the opiate to keep life, expired be-
fore medical assistance could be
called.
Blaine for several months had
been brought to the county Jail and
kept weeks at time in hopes that
when away from the drug he would
overcome it's mastery. Several
weeks ago he was again taken up,
this time worse off from the
ravages of the drug than ever be-
fore. The drug was withheld from
him. At first he combatted with
apparent success his desires for 1t.

WORKCOSTS
TOO MUCH

An Improvement costing four
times the assessed value of the
property benefited has been held
up by the city council. The work
in question was the grading and
sidewalking of Scott street from
Fifth to Highland avenue, petition
ed for by majority of the prop
erty owners and recommended by
the board of works.
Councilmas. Baldwin stated that
there were many such improve
ments made in the past where
bonds were issued and the ground
afterward found insufficient to pay
the bonds when foreclosure came.
In such cases the city had to step
in and pay the difference and in
this way has lost large sums.
A like condition presented itself
in the improvement of Conklin
street, Third to Fifth avenues, by
grading and sidewalking, where the
estimate was S7,965
as against a property valuation of
S4,150, This project was also re-
iected.
