FIVE DOLLARS
FOR THIS KEY

A lost key numbered 1880 and at
tached to a brass chain, is worth five
dollars to the finder, provided he will
return it to the Hammond postoffice
where it is wanted. The key is abso-
lutely worthless to the finder. The re-
ward of five dollars is large enough
to warrant person to spend whole
day looking for it, and the number on
the key makes 1T yer yeasy for identi-
fication. Because of the uncertainty
of the building or neighborhood in
which the loss occurred, it is hard to
specify where the key may be ex-
pected to be found. 1t is about three
inches long and was attached to a
brass chain twelve inches in length.

ROPE BREAKS,
PLASTERER FALLS

The breaking of a rope, attached to
a scaffold upon which he was standing
caused painful injuries to the person of
August Pottz, a plasterer, employed at
the Minas store construction. The ae-
cident occurred about 1880 this morn
ing. Stewards ambulance was called
and the man was removed to ST. Mar
garet's hospital where upon examining
him, il was learned his injured consist
ed of a cash oil forehead and scratches
on face and hands. The fact that the
scaffold was only a few feet from the
ground saved the man from severe in
juries and probably death.

Rome. Italy, April s.-The condition
of the pope was improved today. Prof.
Marchiafava the Vatican physician,
visited the pontiff for over an hour this
morning and found his fever greatly
reduced. His temperature was only
slightly above normal, but he still suff-
cred great depression and weakness.
Special Prayers Ordered.
Cardinal Pompili who was made a
new vicar general only few days ago.
issued orders today for special prayers
for the pope in all the churches of
Rome during the next three days.
Minute Examination Made.
Prof Marchafava's examination OF
the pope was minute. He declared aft
erward that there was a noticeable I'M
provement in the pontiff's general con-
dition. but that the relapse he suffered
yesterday did not yet appear to be on
the decline.
The truth is. that the pope's relapse is
causing great anxiety, because it was
not expected. and for the further reason
that at his advanced age there is the
ever present danger of his being unable
to withstand the drain on his strength
