that number know something that, if
not found in the next paper will aston
ish them greatly and disappoint them
more, and perhaps make them madder
than hornets. Don't be afraid to let the
newspaper know it.

One of the first official acts OF
some department of our city govern
ment, now that we have jurisdiction
over the territory, should be the re-
moyal of q frame building in the tri-
angle fromed by King street, the
electric railway tracks and the steam

ton. This shack for that is all it
isl was apparently abandoned seve-
raj years ago by firm of contrac-
tors and has since become not only
an evcsore but at certain seasons of
the year refuge for tramps. If it
is on railroad property the railroad
company should remove it as matter
of self protection. That some mis-
chievous or thoughtless person has
not applied match to the building,
thus endangering the nearby poles Of
tho electric railway comapny, is re-
markablc. Yours for.
