IS MUCH UKE A DUEL

An Alderman After Smith Curtis’
Sealp---Weapons not yet
Mamed.

MYSTERIOUS DOCUMENT CAUSES IT

If the Council Would Make certain
Coneession Suits Against Bylaws
May Be dropped.

Political circles are violently agitated
by a mysterious document, so much so
that one of the aldermen has offered to
fight a well known attorney, at any
time or place or with any weapon he
may choose. The document is nothing
more or less than type written copies
containing a proviso thit if the mein-
bers of the council will ecceed to certain
demande, the attack against the ‘‘cur-
rent expense” and “‘sewer” bylawa will
be withdrawn.

Among other things, it was demanded
that Maj. Cooper be forever debarred
from having any connection with the
city inany way. -

Another clauee is that the “citizens”
are willing to let the council draw the
money for the $15,000 bylaw, providing
no more than $10,000 of it is spent.

The first inkling, to the public, of such
a document was given last evening, by

. Hon. T. Mayne Daly called attention
by letter to the dangerous condition of
the long ice covered steps in various
parts of the city, and also the fact that
the city was liable for damages in case of
an accident. Referrei to board of works.
The objection of John McGrea to a
skating rink being constructed on Second
avenue, between Washington and Spo-
kane street was referred to the board of
works. Another objection from L. J.
Lockwood about the skating rink being
constructed on block 17 was referred to
the same committee.

A letter from Deputy’ A ttorziey General
Smith was read, wnich oflered to turn
the provincial jail over to the city pro-
viding.the city would keep the provin-
cial prieoners at a chagge of 50 cents per
day which the govern: gent would pay.
It was accepted.

F, E. Toder was awarded the contract
of constructing sleeping quarters for the
volunteer fireman over the fire hall.

SNOW CRUSHING ROOFS.

Another Building Crushed—Danger. from
Falling Icicles.

The crushing weight of the. snow is
making itself felt. A few nights ago the
roof of Lincoln terrace caved in, and the
night before last a building just north
east of the Presbyterian church was
squashed by the snow smashing in the
roof, Fortunately no one occupied either
building at the time of the accidents.

in that line, was observed last evening
in “Old Curiosity Shop.” “Every char-

public.

Any propositions that were made-

ing her members like machines as most
managers do and tell them that such a
part must be played's6 and so, she says:
“This is my idea how this should be
done, but use your own judgment and see
if you can improve upon it.” In short
she brings out all the latent power there
is in an actor by appealing to his or her

reason. Z

their roofer.

The bright sunshine today was a sur-
prise to Rosslanders. A dazzling spect-
acle was formed although its brightness
was blinding to the eyes. The snow
sparkled as though sprinkled .with dia-
mends, and the mountains were out-
lined against the deep blue of the sky in
lines of. purest white. The firs festoned
with ice and snow rivaled glowing
Christmas trees. Like most good things
danger lurked in the brightness of the
sunshine. Its warm rays melted long,
slender icicles, sharp as daggers, that
hung from the buildings over the side-
walks, and came clattering down at the

Foley at Reno, Nev., created a great

dramatically declared ‘that she had a
