LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Unbidden Guests.

MT. Editor: We read of great things in science and invention and have long since ceased to wonder but when we learn of a whole mob of Sum day school -children with their sis ters and cousins and their aurlts. g about to swoop down upon the home of their superintendent on the night set apart for the celebration of the 23th anniversary of his marriage. and for this event. invitations to friends whom the family care to receive, have been given. and ample preparations Tor their entertainment under way who would not wonder? Because of it's being church organization does not make this breach of etiquette any the less flagrant-or the inquisitive- ness of those who would live to see and know in any degree excusable.
 If the school wishes to show appre- citation of their leader by a gift, or their presence in a body at some more fitting time we feel sure all would be welcome, but for a whole regiment of children many of them ungovernable as wild broncho. to be allowed to besiege home on such an occasion. turning the night of festivity into pandemonium, is to say the least. an imposition and devoid of good com mon sense.

This will be one Of the most unique
affairs ever pulled off in this city
and will no doubt be witnessed by a
large crowd. eNsl
The test will probably take place on
Beeler's hill. south of the city. This
hill is regarded as the steepest in this
vicinity, by many autoists and is re-
garded as a very good test for the hill
climbing powers Of any machine. So
far enteries have been made by the
following automobile firms: Overland.
Standardization, Ford, Marion Flyer.
Buick, Maxwell and jackson. Each OF
these companies has promised to en-.
ter cars in the runabout and touring
car classes. 1t is also probable that
the local firms engaged in the manu-.
facture of automobiles will be entered

PUBLIC WoRks.
MUST REMOVE FOUNDATION

Fairview is to have a complete sewer
system if the plans Of the board of pub
lie works go through. A resolution
providing for such a system was adop-
ted by the board at its meeting this
morning. 1t is estimated the system
will cost $4,000. Much of the exca-
waiting will have to be done through
solid rock. When the system is COM
pleted the entire west side will be
equipped with the best system for sew
erage and drainage in the city.
When South West Fourth street is
constructed in accord with resolution
adopted by the board, it will become
necessary to remove the concrete foun-
dation for house which has just been
put up. The lot is owned by E. G..
Kemper, and he had Intended to build
Z residence, not knowing Of the con-
templated Improvement. The city
will appropriate his entire lot for
street purposes. The assessment OF
damages to Kemper has not been
Made. Oscar Tauer. whose residence
faces West Fifth street, was the only
petitioner for the opening of Fourth
street.
The board has adopted resolution
for the construction of a sewer be
tween South Third and First, A and
streets; adopted resolution for ce'
ment sidewalks on both sides OF North
Eighth street from Main to Fort
Wayne avenue, and cement walks on
south side Of North b street from Six.
