WHITE MAN STRICKEN

A man thought to have suffered a stroke of paralysis was found on Nineteenth street this morning about 9 o'clock just where he fell when stricken and was taken to the city hall, where he was given medical at tention by Dr. M. c.

back the invaders to the Tcheruavoda COnstanza railway line. Sofia reports that this reinforced army intended a general attack along the entire front but has been compelled to confine it. self to partial attacks.
 In the Macedonian theatre bad weather pre--ils and there has been no infantry action except on the left wing of the entente allied line, where the Italians have made further prog ress toward Trnova, near the Mon astir-Presba lake road, according to Paris. This statement, as regards the gain. is contradicted by the Sofia war office, which says an Italian attack here was repulsed and that the at ta ackers lost large quantity of war materials. Sofia denies a recent French report that the French had captured the town of Dobromir, saying the Bul- garians are fully in control there
 The French front also is experience ing another spell of indictment wealth CT and except for small attacks at various points, little activity has been displayed by either side.
 There has been considerable artillery fighting along the eastern front at various places from the region to the Carpathians with the Germans the aggressors and also on the Austro- Italian front with the Austrians on the initiative.

 viaduct It would cost this amount to place the viaduct in good condition, The commission, under the guidance of MT. Weatherly, refused to entertain this proposition.
 EQUAL TO ANY LOAD
 If the commission had agreed to the proposition of the railroads and al- lowed them to repair this viaduct in- stead of building a new one, 1t Is claimed the result would have been disastrous. In the first place, the bridge would have been the same width it is at present, 45 feet. It could not have stood the strain of heavy traffic and instead of having a modern bridge ca pablo of carrying load of 50 tons, which the new one will have, the make shift structure would not have been capable of accommodating heavy trucks.
 The new viaduct across Twenty-frst street will be 80 feet wide. The main portion of the bridge, where vehicles will run, will be 50 feet in width and the sidewalks on each side will be 5 feet wide. The construction will be of reinforced concrete and steel NO finer viaduct can be built.
 If the city had agreed to the repair ing of the bridge by the railroads, they would have spent s40,000 instead of approximately $125,0oo, and brought about only temporary solution.
 INVOLVE LITIGATION
 When the time came for the carrying out of the geenral grade crossing plan it probably would have been necessary to go into litigation with the roads, which would have involved the expen- allure of vast sum of money and sew eral years of time. The elevation of the whole net work of tracks under the Twenty first street bridge is called for in the general plans. This will cost the railroads millions.
 To build the new viaduct the city will bear 20 per cent of the cost and the railroads will lend it the money at 5 per cent interest.
 The contention of any one against the present Twenty first street viaduct on the ground that it is adequate. and the beginning of an agitation for the Twentieth street grade crossing situa- tion at the present time would only involve at least 10 years of time and in the meanwhile the public would be the losers, according to MT. Weatherly who has made study of the situa- tion for eight years.

SECRET OF COMPLIMENTARY

The sermon on the subject of "Discon- tent was necessarily somewhat short, but full of helpfulness and inspiration. Using as his text the eleventh verse of the fourth chapter of Philippians, in which St. Paul says he has learned the secret of being content with whatever condition he finds himself, Dr. Edmonds spoke of two kinds of discontent, one of the useless discontent that gives a man no rest or peace always wanting what he has not and failing to make the most of what he has. The other, divine discontent, in which the stirring, aspiring soul seeks to reach great heights of en- deavor dissatisfied because of his failure to reach the goal he set before himself.
 The Thanksgiving season was evident in the morning service of the church at the Temple Emanu-El. The rostrum was beautifully decorated with autumn leaves sheaves of grain and gorgeous yellow chrysanthemums. The several hundred children of the Sunday school marched in and placed their gifts of fruits, gifts of money and dainties upon the rostrum, while in the vestibule were tables piled high with staple groceries, clothing and other commodities. One very substantial offering-$S $S worth of flour -came from the mems Bible class.
 Various organizations of the city will be the recipients of the bounty of this chruch, including the Mercy Home, Chi- dren's Hospital Children's ward of the Hillman hospital Juvenile court apd others
 The recently elected elders and deacons were impressively ordained and installed prior to the sermon, which was an inn pressive one on the Habit of Thankful ness,'' Dr. Edmonds taking for his text a part of the sixth chapter of Daniel.

WESLEY S|NGERSAT
 EVENING SERVICES
Thanksgiving Offering at Independent Presbyterian
 Church BOuntiful

The Lyric theatre was entirely filled at the service of the Independent Presbyte- rian church last night, when the Wesley Singers" a chorus of negroes from one of the local colored churches. sang sew eral selections from their place in the gallery very pleasingly. "Old-Time Re- ligion'' and other negro melodies familiar to all southern people, were sung with the unconscious letting go'' of the race whose emotions play so large a part n their religion.
 The service of song carried the older generation of the listeners back to the long ago plantation scenes and sounds. The strange harmony that seems to come so naturally to the race untutored in song, fell wonderfully true in the softly repeated refrains.
 Before taking up the subject of his ser mon, Dr. Edmonds, the pastor, addressed his remarks to the gallery, speaking of the faithfulness of the "old mamny" and paying the southern white mans tribute to faithful service at the hands of the negro. In closing his talk along this line, he said the singers needed help in buy ing chairs for their church choir and gave the congregation the invitation to contribute on their way out and there was a liheral resDonse

TO DISCUSS JURY REPORT

A few remarks more or less timely and to the point are expected at the next meeting of the city council, when discus sion will come up of the report of the grand jury censuring the city officials for not having seen to it that the net earnings of the water commission have been used to take up the bonds issued for the buying of the plant, as provided by the special law of 1907,
 The words of the grand jury report that "cut'' most are that ''the grand jury recommends that if the mayor and city officials do not take this matter up, the next grand jury should look into the matter with view of taking action"
 The strictures of the grand jury are not taken kindly by city officials, although large number of the prominent busi- ness men, and a majority of the citizens who have to pay water bills, have been pleased to have some light thrown on the workings of the commission. With final payment of the water bonds there might be some hope of relief from the water rates now bemg charged Selmians. which, while not higher than some cities that are cited, are certainly high enough to start an interesting argument
