There was pleasant outcome Fri day afternoon of the long struggle to get sidewalks of Division street when Civil Engineer George E. Pitcher and his brother Leverett T. Pitcher, found two fine rocking chairs sent to their homes with accompanying notes that explained that they were meant to be an expression from their neighbors on the street of their appreciation of the part taken by the two Pitcher broth CTS in the effort to get sidewalks there.
 The recipients of the gifts deeply ap- preciate this evidence of neighborly feeling, but also are greatly gratified at the way the property owners along the street have responded to the order of the city in putting in sidewalks and cooperated to have good walks, for those that have been laid are of uni- forrnly good quality and the complet- ed work as it stands at present gives the street one of the best stretches of sidewalk in the city.
 Up to the present time, out of the twenty-six property owners on the street who have been called upon to lay walks, twenty three have either

had them laid or have them contract ed for, leaving but three who have not complied with the order of the city to have walks of the required types laid or arranged for by the fifteenth of June. Nearly all the walks laid have been of the cement concrete con struction, some with smooth finish and others with rough finish where this seemed better because of grade that would make the smooth walk more or less slippery in winter weather. On the easterly side of the street, the work is now proceeding in taking out the ledge of rock near the head of Ar mold street and on that account two sidewalks there are held up but they will be completed as soon as the rock has been removed.
 One of the latest pieces of walk to be laid was that on the northerly side of the street on the hill at~the Oak street end. In blasting near there on Friday for other work one of the blasts blew out stronger than had been expected and some pieces of rock land ed on the new walk and cut it as 1t had not thoroughly hardened, but the damage will be repaired.

The members of the Loie Francis

favorites judging from the perform
ances given of 1.-THE Child of Fate"
the play now holding the boards at
the Lyceum theater for the first three
days GS this week.
All the members prove that they
are capable of playing their respective
parts with force and ability. A test
of this will be made when the play
changes Thursday evening. "The
Child of Fate is strong drama con-
tanning many intensely interesting
lines, while "All in Name" which
will be presented the last of the week,
is a play that drives cares away in a
hurry. We have often heard of the
expression, Whats in a manner and
laid aside any thoughts on the ques-
ton, but those who witness the play
at the Lyceum theater the last three

that everything depends on the name.
