Of Councilman Brown that the street
should be fixed before payment was
made. According to the city attorney,
there is nothing left for the city to do
but take care of the dirt itself.
The jain company's letter was also
read, In it the company stated that it
had complied with its contract, that the
Union street people objected to the
company's taking the dirt away as it
did, that they were obliged to quit TAX
ing away the dirt, that they saved the
city $4,000 on the job, being that much
lower than the highest bidder, and that
there was no possibility of the city get
ting back $6S9 or any other amount.
The company refused absolutely to have
its business disorganized by the city of

ball, L. M Sweet is in st. Slizabeth Is
hospital, and may recover. Sweet was
playing Sunday with local team
against nine composed of former Gold
Diggers in the Western Tri-State league
before Baker gave up its franchise.
One strike had been called on him and
he was STOPPING over the plate, when
Ward, the ex-Gold Digger pitcher, gave
a quick return.
Sweet received the ball on his fore,
head and was knocked unconscious. At
the hospital his skull was raised to
save him, but his chances for recovery
are remote. Sweet is well known here,
and is also catcher for the Eagles nine
in the Twilight league.

Result Of Spider Web.

When Mark Twain was editor of a
Missouri papersa subscriber wrote to
him, saying that he had found large
spider in his paper, and asking him
whether that was sign of good luck
or bad. This was TWain's answer.
sFinding spider in your paper was
neither good luck nor bad luck for
you. The spider was merely looking
over our paper to see which merchant
is not advertising, so that he can go
to that store, spin his web across
the door and lead a life of undisputed
peace ever afterwards.
