mon Council. While nothing definite
concerning the character of the report
is known, yet it Is generaily believed
that no milder measures than the re-
striction of the liquor business by
means of higher licenses, reduction in.
sion from residential districts Will
satisfy the citizens who support the
temperance cause here.

Negro Burglar Captured.
The negro burglar who entered the
home of Mr.. George Kruse, at the end
OF West Washington Street. on Mon
day night, was captured to-day while
walking on Old Street BY Detective
David Eanes. The Information gained
by the police of the suspicious sale of
a watch and the Identification by the
purchaser of the vendor led to tile
prisoners capture. The facts that the
burglary of the house of Mr.. James 81.
Wells, reported in yesterdays paper,
was attempted only few hours pre-
Yious TO the one successfully committed
ut the house OF Mr.. Kruse and that the
tresldences are in the same section CT
the CITY, and that in both cases tho
entrance was effected in the same man
ncr, make II very probable that the
prisoner Is guilty OF both crimes.
