BERLIN, Jan. 90. - Wilhelm
Marx today announced his inability
to form a German cabinet based
upon a coalition Of middle parties Of
the Reichstag.
Marx was defeated in the Reichs-
tag before Christmas and he and his
cabinet resigned but were con-
tinued in Office by President linden
burg until after Jan. 1, when Julius
Curtius, a member of the Folk s
party, was designated to form a cabi-
net. Curtius failed and Hindenburg
designated Marx to succeed himself.

be kept awake by the continual bang
and rattle Of street car with flat
wheels. The letter is:
Mr.. F'ixit: Why is it that all the
street cars with fiat wheels are run
over the w. Tenth and w. Michigan
lines? 1t seems that they ought to
be in the barn for repairs. 1t is
almost impossible to get a night S
sleep along either line for the bang
rattle-slam-banging noises from these
cars. Hope you will do all you can
for a change. T. II. w.
The street car company assured
Mr. Fixit that they knew that this
was very annoying and that they
would do all in their power to re-
move the offensive cars. The late
need for cars has caused the COM
pany to use cars that they would
otherwise put in the shop for re-
pairs, they said.
Mr.. FiXit is investigating the fol
lowing complaint. Every one in the
city hall has told Mr.. Fixit to go tc
some one else with it and it Is hare
for him to trace down the responsible
party.
Dear Mr.. Fixit Late this fall the
Merchants Heat and Light Company
dug a hole in the front yard at II
N. Wallace St., to place a guy wire
In digging they cut the lead-in water
pipe. The company had plumber
to repair the water line, but he was
forced to dig in the street to do so
After which he merely filled up the
hole in the yard and did not fill in
the hole in the street. We protested
putting the guy wire in the yard, but
the company said that 1t was
necessary on account Of putting
more wires in the pole. Since that

Changing of a street name, but
not changing Of the street signs, is
very confusing to people, one person
wrote Mr.. FiXit. The person asked
that this be remedied at once. The
letter is:
Dear Mr.. FiXit: Will you please
see what can be done about getting
US some street signs on Harlan st.
south of Raymond St.?' The street
has been changed lately from
Churchman to Harlan and the signs
Of Churchman are still up There
fore no one is able to find Harlan
E. C.
Mr.. FiXit took this up with the
chief street inspector today, and
he said that the matter would be
attended to, as the proper signs
would be put up Immediately.
Street car insomnia seems to be
the trouble with one person who
wrote to Mr.. F'ixit today. The pub
lie need not be alarmed, as this dis
| ease is not contagious. Mr.. Fixit
