 In this gripping play Miss Sweet plays two characters tw iii sisters one strong, high-minded girl and other slave to the opium and mor- phine habits. The drug-ridden sister is able, through almost uncanny creverness, to keep the knowledge ot her vice from her sister and her par ents. How she manages to convince the man she is i'1 love with, but who is in love with her sister. that her sister is the drug victim is disclosed in series of the most unusual and thrilling scenes ever presented to- a photcdramatic audience.

 Later MT. Well moved that com munication be sent the lighting com- pany, complaining of the poor lights, but after little talk, MT. Well agreed that Mr. Bahlau, chairman oi the water and light committee, can take the matter up with the com pany.
 Cherry Street Grading.
 A resolution was adopted, to have the mayor, the city attorney and the city engineer determine upon the proper grade in Cherry street between Twentieth and Twentyfourth ave- nues. and see that the new paving is laid to this grade.
 There has been some controversy over the grade, and the commission CTS for the paving district, it is said, have set stakes which, if followed will make the street about seven inches above the city grade, to the great damage of abutting and near by property.
 Many Routine Matters.
 Alderman Simpson for the sanitary committee reported favorably on the project for an incineration plant, but the council made no effort to take up the matter last night, and, it went over until future date.
 The city clerk was instructed to notify the Iron Mountain to place a regulation incandescent street ligh1 at Fourth avenue and Colorado street.
 The sum of $35.32 was ordered placed in the general fund, from the old special cash fund of the police department
 Tho cemetery sexton reported re ceipts $12250. expenditures $l52.z5 deficit S9.73, for the month.
 The police reported cash fines s716. committed $405, total $l,l2l for the month.
 Alderman Bahlau said some or the cotton men are placing cotton in the streets in such manner as to inter fere with draining, and the polic' were advised of his complaint, wlti the suggestion that if "the good cltl zens can not abide by the law, there should be arrests made"
 Only .once before in the past veal has there been so many citizens pres ont at council session, and Mayo Bloom remarked, in opening tn council, that he would like to se so big a crowd at each sessslon.

 MT. Well presaged his motion by stating that it is apparent the bill Hard halls-poolrooms. he called them-need some regulation, and that is all the discussion there was
 in the matter, the council voting in favor of the ordinance being brought in. It is understood tho ordinance is to be fought, when ;t appears, all though it appears already assured of strong support in the aldermanio body enough tc pass it, although perhaps not enough to adopt it the night it is read the first time.
 Paving Commission Resigns. A communication was received tend"riGg the resignation of II. k Trulock. s. Y. T, Knox and k. B

 No reason for tho resignation o the commissioners is given. nor dit any member of the council appear tC understand why tho resignation was rendered.

THIS FREES YOUR SKIN
 FROM HAIR OR FUZZ
(Toilet Tipsl

The method here suggested for the removal of superfluous hair is quick and certain and unless the growth is extremely stubborn, a single appll- cation does the work. Make a stiff paste with some powdered delatone and water; apply this to the hairy surface and after about minutes rub it off. wash the skin and the hairs are gone. To avoid disappointment, be sure your druggist sells you dela- tone.
