CITY TABLES
FRUIT VENDORS
ORDINANCE
PETITION SIGNED BY NEARLY
FOUR HUNDRED TAX PAYERS
ASKED COMMISSIONERS NOT TO
PASS PROPOSED ORDINANCE.

Last night the city commissioners
at their regular meeting tabled a pro
posed ordinance asked for by some
merchants of the city relative to ped
dlers of fruits and other articles on
Main street prescribing certain
bounds. This proposed ordinance was
aimed at the numerous fruit peddlers
of the city who have been operating
here for some time, but last night pc
tition containing, it is said, approx
mately four hundred names, was pre-
sented to the commissioners, asking
that the ordinance be tabled indefinite
ly, as it was unjust and uncalled for.
and that they as tax payers were sat
isfied with present conditions.
Acting upon this request the ordi-
nance was promptly tabled, and the
ordinance drawn last week by the city
attorney was pigeon holed for the time
being. The reports of all city officials
and heads of departments were read
and ordered filed. The report shows
the affairs of the city in every depart
ment to be in good condition.
II. B. Harts presented an ordinance
and asked its passage relative to va
eating certain property owned by the
city, which was passed and ordered
published.

Tryinu to Reach Warsaw.

London, Feb. 3.-During the last
few days the Germans have been
making desperate efforts to break the
deadlock which has existed for so
long on both the eastern and western
fronts.
They have delivered a series OF
attacks, always preceded by artillery
activity, on the allied lines in Flan-
ders and France, and while in almost
every case they have thus won
preliminary advantage before the
fighting was concluded, the French,
English or Belgians have been able
To regain the trenches temporarily
lost, and in some cases to occupy
German positions.
In these attacks, according to the
reports of the British and French
general staffs, the Germans have suf-
fered severe losses.
The German artillery has been sub
jecting the Belgian positions in Flan-
ders to a severe bombardment which
suggests that the moment has ar
rived for another effort to get across

ED - COURT SPEAKS.

Judge Freeman is a mild hammered
man, and one who desires to spread
sunshine, rather than gloom. He
does not delight in witnessing trou-
bic among his fellow men, but when
he is on the bench, acting as district
Judge of this judicial district, he can
be severe, where the ends of JUS
tice must be met.
During the recent term. little
scene was enacted that was only re-
vealed today. A certain citizen of
this county, whom u is well to call
Mr.. Blank, because he is a good citi-
zen, though little careless about
court procedure, was taught a lesson
that will be benefit to his neigh
bors and the citizenship in general,
when il becomes known.
He was summoned as a witness in
a very important case, and he ig-
nored the summons. An attachment
was issued for him, and he was
brought into court, where the follow
ing was addressed to him upon the
subject, by the court:
Now, Mr.. --, it is impossible
for this court to proceed with bust
ness when witnesses wilfully and
wantonly disregard the processes of
court.
BY your action, which is without
excuse, you have wilfully and wan
tonly disobeyed the orders of this
court and, in so doing, you have
seriously delayed the progress of the
trial.
For your disobedience, you are
adjudged to be in contempt of this
court, and it is the order of the court
that you be and are fined in the sum
of $25, and be confined in the county
Jail for a period of ten days, and
commitment will now issue for the
execution of this order.
Il want to say this to you. which
will not be made a part of the rec
ord, that it is no personal gratifica-
ton to me to be compelled to mete
out any kind of punishment against
a defaulting witness, but you must
remember that this is the states
business and an order issuing out of
this court is tantamount to an order
