on the waterworks and electric light

installing what are known as Internal
Combustion engines came up and the
council decided to delay action until
that matter can be investigated. 1t is
claimed for this kind of power that
the initial cost is less. as the power
house does not have to be as large as
required for the steam power; that
considerable expensive construction is
avoided in the equipment and that the
running expense is less

TICKET sCALPING WIPED OUT.
Injunction Obtained in Florida Is
Now Made Perpetual.

Chicago, Dec. 30.-A notable adj
vance in the crusade against ticket
scalping is seen by the Railway Ticket
and Protective bureau in recent de-
velopments in the state of Florida.
Through a letter made public today,
quoting a communication from the
Southern Passenger association, great
satisfaction expressed over the fact
that a tentative decree entered by the
federal court for the southern district
of Florida interdicting the business of
ticket scalping has just been made
perpetual. The case was one brought
by the Southern Railway company
against numerous scalpers. and has
been pending in the courts for long
neriod. The decree now makes per-
manent a temporary injunction here
tofore issued, and prohibits ticket
scalping in the state of Florida.

Cured near here when c. Dart went
to Columbus to procure a bill of lum-

moments, and when she started to
return, saw flames bursting from the
building.
She ran to the door and opening it,
saw her boy lying about four feet
from the door. suffocated from the
smoke, and by that time the flames
were so intense that the mother could
not get to her little one.
The child had evidently tried to es-
cape from the house when he discov-
cred it to be in flames, but fell before
reaching the exit.

a shadow crossed her path She did
not tell the judge of the municipal
the silhouette of certain big build
ing at Twentieth and Vine streets, or
whether it looked like the somewhat
portly figure of a certain police mag
istrate
Wherefore the judge made it a com
posite design, with a line drawing of
an outraged wife in the middle dis
lance thrown in for good measure.
She was Mrs. Stella Reed. a clair
voyant, and she was co-defendant
with L. H. Smith of Topeka. The
prosecuting witness was Mrs L. H.
Smith, who accused Mrs. Reed and
her husband of improper conduct
She charged that Smith lived at the
clairvOyant's home since he deserted
her some time ago.
do you want your husband back
again 2" the judge asked.
No; I'm tired Of supporting him."
replied the wife. Maybe she likes
the job
You are a clairvoyant ?" the Judge
continued, turning to Mrs. Reed. Did
mt you foresee some trouble of this
sort? ?"
We'll, a shadow did cross my path
in dream the other night"
Was it real. big black shadow"
Yes. and back of it was the cabal-
istic number of 49,"
"Discovered!" exclaimed the Judge
And I'm not a c1afrvoyant, either It
was the shadow of lis days in the
workhouse for you and Smith both"
wen, I never did believe in signs
and omens before" laughingly re-
marked Mrs. L. H. Smith as she left
