POLICEMAN SHOT.

Policeman Cassien, one of the best
bluecoats of the force, was shot and
severely wounded in the right jaw
yesterday afternoon by an accidental
shot.
1t seems that ]. Bode, a bartender
in MAler's grocery and saloon, at Bien-
vile and Franklin, had a revolver to
sell, and he spoke to Cassien about
tne weapon. OF course, the bluecoat
wanted to see the revolver. Charles
Smith, a porter, was told to get the
pistol from behind the counter. In
carrying it Smith had a finger on the
trigger, and as a result of a misstep
he pulled the trigger and the bullet
struck Cassien in the jaw. The ball
ranged upward and it may prove a
serious wound. The policeman could
not talk as result of his hurt. Smith
was arrested and held for shooting and
wounding, pending a further investi.
cation of the case.

THE BABY SHOW.

The big Baby Show which has been
talked of so much during the past week
is now in full blast at the Memo Thea
ter There have already been entered
quite good many babies, and in fact
the number of contestants will far ex-
ceed the expectations of the manage
ment. All these little prize-winners'
pictures are being thrown on the
screen at every performance at the
Memo and this gives the friends of the
little ones an opportunity to give the
applause that the little ones so well
deserve
The contest is to be decided by votes
and each admission to the Memo is en-
titled to one vote. These votes are
deposited in box which is placed in
very convenient place and once each
week these votes will be counted and
the results made known.
Besides allowing one vote for each
paid admission, the Memo family tick
ct will be good for an additional fifty
votes in the following manner: A FAM
lily ticket to the Memo gives 80 admis.
sions for S1.00; this of course carries
with it 80 votes. Now, besides these
30 votes there will be given with each
family ticket an extra so votes. This
will give an excellent opportunity for
the workers to get out and hustle for
their little baby friends.
The contest, which was opened only
few days ago, will be extended until
March Both. This gives everyone an
opportunity of hustling for votes. Re.
member the family ticket. If you want
to gain votes for your candidate, buy
family ticket; they cost less than
the regular paid admission, and you
gain so votes for each ticket pur-
chased.
''The Cowboy Millionaire" one of
the best swo-reel FEATURES ever pro
duced, which has been advertised for
some time, will be shown at the Memo
on February 2Sth.

city officials. He says in his letter tc
Mr.. Ferrier that he has not forgotten

When Mrs. Victor Hartman of 500
Belleville street came to the Herald
office on Wednesday morning she was
an angry woman and did not mince
her words in denouncing some of the
gossiping women in reporting that she
had taken poison with suicidal intent.
Mrs. Hartman stated that she was
taken i'll on Vallette street Tuesday
morning and was taken to the home
of Mrs. Peter Johnson on Vallette
street, and afterwards removed to her
home where DR.. A. J. Babin attended
her for a case of acute indigestion.
Mrs. Hartman stated in denouncing
these scandal mongers, that she was
reported as having taken poison and
that several people came to the house
for the purpose of attending her wake.
Mrs. Hartman stated there was no
reason for starting such report as
suicide as she and her husband lived
happily together and have a nice home
and if there had been any thought of
taking poison it would not have been
after the strike, which she and her
husband went through without any
trouble. Mrs Hartman asked that
