New Merry-Go-Round for City.

y
The footing of the gay merry-go-
round yesterday attracted a great deal
or interest yesterday, it being the first
that has ever been seen in the new
steel city The attraction occupies the
space formerly used by the big tent
where the convention was held and a
vaudeville attraction was held for sew
eral weeks. The merry go-round is
proving popular with the pleasure
seekers and it is likely that the amuse-
ment will remain here for several days

a metropolitan air is the "faker' who
has been lecturing from his oil lighted
platform and roping in thousands of
unsuspecting hearers.

watchmen who We're arrested on war

postponed indefinitely because of the
illness of Mrs. Huddleson who seemed
to be effected by the shock of the pro-
| ceedings when they were put out of
the house and came near having
pitched battle with the watchmen of
the steel company who were sent there
to guard it.

price which the Western Union is of
fering for rents on Broadway seems
to be poor their service, and
they are unable to secure a location for
that reason. Yes terday they made ap-
plication to the town board for the
right to lay wires in the alley west of

instructed TO prepare an ordinance per
