General interest is being taken IN the
meetings of the commission TO assess
damages to property by reason of the
grading of streets in Paramount, ana

IL became necessary, In order to secure
proper drainage, to grade the streets 10
certain fixed lines. as laid down In the
survey of the annexed territory, super
yised by the former City Engineer, Col
onel Cutshaw.
AS many OF the streets were already
built up, with houses set to suit the
existing lines. there was much COM
paint from property owners. In some
instances the Street Committee reached
an amicable settlement by building re-
tanning walls and concrete steps and
entrances. Others preferred to have
money damages, and commission was
named to assess the amount the prop
erty has been injured. less the benefit
|uccru,ng by reason of the Improvements
the city Is making in that section.
While the city will no doubt have TO
pay cash damages in many instances.
1T is nevertheless fact that with the
large sewer enterprises. the extension
of gas and water mains. and the con-
templated Improvement of streets and
sidewalks, property in Paramount has
already greatly increased in value.

IDENTIFIES HIS
 STOLEN CHAIN CHICAGO PHYSICIAN HERE TO GIVE EVIDENCE AGAINST
 MRS KNIGHT.
Doubt About the Sum of Property Taken, Winch at First Was
 Placed at $22,ooo.

Dr. Von Schen, Of Chicago whose house in that city was robbed of dia- monds and jewelry of a high value last October, yesterday, at police head quarters in this city identified a heavy neck chain with old fashioned pendant attached as part of the jew. elry he had formerly owned.
 The neck chain had been taken from Mrs H. l.. Knight last Saturday. when she and her husband were ar. rested under instruction from the Chi cago police, charging them with the robbery.
 The husband was released after preliminary hearing in chancery court and the woman held without bond un- til next Wednesday, by which date of ficers from Chicago will be here to testify in the case and take the wo- man back if she is the one they want
 Mrs Knight came here as trained nurse, and had several important as signments from local physicians. She is said to be very proficient. The woman accused of the robbery at the Chicago home of Dr. Von Schell last October was trained nurse and gain cd admission into the home of the physician through this manner.
 IL is the belief of the police that Mrs, Knight had probably made away with the diamonds, as none of much value were found when she was ar rested Detective Hague stated that in the apartments of the woman here were found a great number of fine silks and fine linens, stacks of long silk stockings, and quantity of stun which had apparently never been in use.
 There is doubt as to the value of the property lost. It was first given out as $22,O0O. One diamond was de. scribed as having a two karat stone in the center, and and on long prongs '2S other half karat stones Another sol taire is described as being worth about $500. There was a number of othed diamonds, some of them being heirlooms which had been in the fam fly for half century and had never been valued.

One of the c'evcsest acts with tained dogs that has been witnessed CT the vaudeville stage in tnis city is now being presented at the Orph cum theatre by Prof Doc Emmett with his novelty dogs The feature dog in the act is Dude, the dog with the human brain," whose staunts far excel any production in fancy tricks and understanding that has ever been staged
 His troupe of trained dogs are ex- ceptional in ability their tricks being amusing and astonishing.
 Tony Marlin, trick bicyclist who makes specially of one wheel riding. is not to be excelled by any novelty production that is being staged His act is entertaining and with all the equilibrium that Is displayed in his fancy turns is both marvellous and something for scientcsts to study over.
 Both features are off of the Sulli. van-Considine crcVf, which handles only the best of vaudeville.
 With such attractions at the popular Hattie play house it should be diff cult for patrons to get seats after the ring for the curtain
