PRICE ONE CENT

COUNCILMAN ZEIS RESIGNS

City Fathers Will Meet in Special Session Monday Night, February Id, to Elect a Successor to the Second Ward ex-Alderman—Elec-tion to County Chairmanship Causes Action.

UTILE DOING AT THE MEETING

Because so much of his time is taken up by his work as Republican County Chairman that he could not spare time from his business to attend to his duties as councilman, was the cause of the resignation from the city council by Charley Zeis, Councilman from the Second Ward. Mr. Zeis handed in his resignation at the meeting last night, and was accepted by the council. Mr. Zeis made a brief speech to the members of the council. He thanked them for the courtesies extended to him by the different members of the council during his term as councilman and said that his relationships had been most pleasant. He explained that the duties of the office of Republican County Chairman to which he was recently elected, would take so much of his time that he could not attend to the duties of a councilman, so that he deemed it best to resign. Every member of the council expressed regret that Mr. Zeis was to leave them. Following this a resolution calling a special meeting for the night of Monday, February 10, was adopted. A successor to Mr. Zeis will be chosen at that time. There are several men mentioned as probable successors to the resigned member of the 25 Per Cent Reduction 25 Per Cent

council. Among them are Racer Bitties, H. C. Alien, Richard Crouch and Charley Baruaby. Outside of the above little else was done at the meeting of the council last night. The routine business was attended to and a few minor matters taken up. Among these was the adoption of the treasurer’s report for December. Then a report of the Public Utilities Committee that the Putnam Electric Co., be docked for ICC hours of outages, which amounts to I4.9S, was adopted. Dr. Tucker was granted permission to put in a drain at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house, recently purchased by him from Capt. Chaffee. And then a petition of O. L. Jones to put In a wagon scales on Market St. was refused. That was all that was •lone. The meeting adjourned before 8 o'clock. Of course the claim ordinance was passed.

Williams for $10,000 damages for the loss of th*e use of one of her arms. The complaint alleges that the arm of the child was broken and dislocated by a fall from a porch, and that Luis L. Williams, announcing himself a practicing phy- ! sician and surgeon, was summoned ' to reduce the dislocation and set the arm. It is further alleged that he , was careless and negligent in the ! matter, did not properly set the I broken hone nor reduce the disloca- i tion, and did not apply either splints | er bandages or [dasler cast. As a result of this neglicencp and carelessness the arm failed to heat properly, was shortened, bent and weakened, and at last all use of the member

was lost.

As a result the patient lias suffered greatly in body and mind, nnd now asks that the defendant reimburse her in the sum of $10,000. The attorney for the plaintiff is Albert Payne. The defendant Is represented by George A. Knight.

Although the weather was, perhaps, the coldest of the winter, Green Parker, who has the contract for excavating the basement of the new library, began to move dirt this morning. Four horses hitched to a heavy breaking plow made short work of the six or eight inches of j frost in the surface earth, and the j scrapers were moving dirt right merrily hy nine o'clock. The last of the big pines went down this morning, and the lot Is now practically free from trees except those that will be retained, if it is possible. Mr. Parker stated that the work would be pushed as rapidly as may be and unless slone or other hard material is struck the basement should be completed very shortly.

ALLEN BROS.

With the team torn to threads by the loss of Captain Sheets and I’rnltt, DePauw's basketball players lost a heartless struggle to I. U. last night hy tlie seoro of 25 to 4. The game was rough throughout and unsatisfactory in every way. Indiana had things all her own way from the start, McCoy and Woody getting baskets early in the game. Team play was impossible and the state men had chances almost at will. The only goal of the game for the Methodists was made by Grady and Johnson raised the total of the half to three by a foul goal. The period ended Indiana. 13; DePauw, 3. Hollopeter replaced Hardin in the second half and held his man to no goals. The work at scoring was, however, not so good and only one foul was made during the remainder of the game. Indiana increased their total rapidly and Rogers at center got in some effective work. Hodges replaced Bac.helder in this period. The score for the second half was Indiana, 12; DePauw, 1. Summary: DePauw Position Indiana Crick. Ell F McCoy Johnson F Woodv Baohelder.

Weather Man Promises us Cold Wave That Will Test the (Qualities of all Heating Plants.

According to the weather man tonight is to be the coldest yet. A cold wave of most severe intent is on the way, and unTess side tracked or turned, will be upon us before the end of the day. Twenty degrees colder is promised. This added to the 5 degrees above registered by many thermometers this morning would make 15 degrees below —a condition of the mercury that may well cause anxious moments to tho man who shovels the coal into the heating apparatus. Thus far the wave has not come In full force. There lias been «i steady northwest wind all day, but the severe cold of the early morning lias not been duplicated, and those out of doors declared that it was warmer this afternoon, even out of the sun. A few nights more of the severe cold will mako the ice crop fit for cutting, and the Ice men are all whistling for the north wind to hold.

SEVEN GAMES

Coach Brown, Captain Roy Jackson and Manager Jay Carpenter met Thursday night and talked over Plans for the gridiron season of 1908 Tlie conference was purely an informal one, but some policies wore taken under consideration for the strengthening of this branch of the sport which are of much importance. There was a sentiment expressed favoring a seven game schedule with if possible four of these on the home grounds. Nothing could be learned of the games contemplated but It was inferred that some of tho opponents of the past might be dropped and an attempt made to secure contests with other schools.

THE CHARGES ARE SENSATIONAL

For many days past Prosecutor Hughes has been busy in Clay county with cases before tlie Grand Jury. He has made a sweep of the county, and many endictments are to follow as a sequence to his work. Tlie Brazil Times says; The grand jury his been called upon to investigate numerous alleged wrong doings, some of which are of a decid dly sensational nature. The criminal assault that was alleged to have been committed on a little girl in Bawling Green was brought before the grand jury and was thoroughly investighted, quite a number of the citizens of tliit town being called upon to give evidence, but it is not known, what action the grand jury has taken. Prosecutor Hughes this afternoon announced the findings of the grand jury. Forty eight indictments were returned, most of which wore against, aioonkeepers fer the violation of the liquor laws.
