THE CITY ENGINEER
NUMBERING HOUSES
Unnumbered Houses and, Those
Which Have a Duplicate Number
' Given the Right Number City
,j Engineer Asks That Property Own-
, ers Accept These' Numbers.
City Engineer iCupp Is ubout at the
end of a work, which should have been
carried out long ago, but which was
delayed by the backwardness of coun
cils In dealing with the necessity. He
Is giving out numbers for houses which
either haVe no numbers or uhlch have
u duplicate number, or Is so numbered
as to be misleading or confusing.
This work Is the last of the street
system, which was woefully lacking a
year ago, but which was absolutely
necessary for Carbondnle to secure to
mall service to which it was entitled,
, but which It was persistently denied by
the postal department at Washington,
solely because there was no Intelligent
street system In this city. There were
unnamed streets, there. were two or
more streets named alike, and there
were houses galore which had no num
bers, or numbers chosen by the prop
erty owners themselves, because of n
lack of any other means of determin
ing a number. It was a curious con
dition, but it was one which councils
could readily remedy if they cared to.
The Tribune earnestly urged councils
to take action, and after several weeks
ot constant directing or attention to the
.matter, the initiative was taken, led by
Dr. Fletcher, of select council, chair
man or the streets committee, who
fathered the project to the end. Mr.
Stone, In common, looked after the
resolution for street signs.
The work, theiefore, that City Kn
glneer Kupp is doing these days, In
placing numbeiR for the unnumbered
houses, is the last of the details con
nected with the establishment of an in
telligent system of streets. Mr. Kupp,
together with James Powderly, the
agent for the signs, and Joseph Lortus,
this week completed the work or tack
ing the signs on houses at the street
corners. Their mission was not all sun
shine, as many a property owner ob
jected to having his house placarded.
An incident out or the ordinary took
place when the city engineer and his
assistants endeavored to nail a sign
nlong it street, which was named ufter
a man who happens to be among the
men who are still at work. Instantly
the union supporters in the vicinity
were up In arms, and In manifesting
their opposition they made It decidedly
unpleasant for the unsuspecting sign
men.
In giving out the numbers for the
houses, City Engineer Kupp requests
that property owners change the -numbers
on their houses to the new one.
This has not been done In every case.
Some property owners seem to object
to buying another number, after already
having one that Is attempting to do
service. It Is absolutely necessary, how
ever, to have u general obedience to
the request of the engineer, otherwise
the system of numbering he has devised
will be of little value. Councils have
directed the work, which was an abso
lutely crying necessity; the city en
gineer nas carried out the work, and it
is now up to the property-owner to do
his. part and bring the system up to the
point Whlch'wns intended when it was
devised.
It might bo mentioned that nmong
thei benefits that followed the estab
lishing of this system of streets, was
the granting to Cnrbondale of nn ad
ditional maflcarrler, who was needed
jpto supply the city's wants, but who was
withhold, despite the protests of Post
master Thomas, because- of the absence
of street names and house numbers.
The signs which the city ncccpted and
jWhlch are now in place, nro quite cred
Ituble, and no more neeeptnbly neat
Street placard will be found In any city

ANOTHER CASE OP
SMALL-POX DISCOVERED
It Is Believed. That Mrs. Joseph
Evans, of Dundnff Street, Is the
Last Victim Will Know Today.
.Mrs. Joseph Evans, who resides on
.liuindnff street, above Forty-third
street, in a house owned by Dointnlck
McGowan, has been ill since Sunduy.
Iast night the physician who called to
see her pronounced her symptoms those
of smnllpox. Mrs. Kvans is related to
the Thompson family, whose members
have been ailllcled with the disease,
and had visited them frequently before
they were stricken. For a reasonable
time she had been in quarantine and It
was thought that the danger had
passed. The physician has made piep
aratlons for caring for a case of small
pox, and will know today whether the
symptoms were those of the dreaded
disease.
Airs. Kvans has a husband and three
children.
MISS FAHEY'S RECITAL.
A Highly Appreciative Audience
Captivated by Her Work.
Fully appreciative of the tieat that
was assured by Prof. Haydn Kvans, an
attendance of muslc-loveis that tilled
his residence, on Laurel street, last
night listened with keen delight nnd
pleasure to the numbeis ot the nlano
roite recital or Miss Lorettn Fahey, of
.Seranton, a pupil in Mr. Kvans' con
servatory. It seemed almost extravagant to
name the references to Miss Fahey's
playing which preceded her; but those
who heard her last night, marveled at
the confidence, the expression and the
finish or the young miss, characteristics
that are usually looked ror In a planlste
or mature years, and which follow years
devoted to the pianoforte. Kvery one
was most profoundly impressed by Miss
Fahey's work, and there was no one
but who assented to the opinion that
wonderful accomplishments might be
truly predicted or her.
W. A. Huberts delighted the assem
blage with his truly artistic singing.
"The Plains of Peace," which he gave
in response to nn encore, was regarded
as Ills best number.
Those who took advantage or Mr.
Kvans' thoughtfulness, were delighted
with the musical treat he provided.
A PROMINENT POLITICIAN.

bondale Yesterday.
Samuel Woellner, or Peoria, III., who

TWENTY-THREE POUND CJARP.
Caught in lake Quinslgnraond by
Warrle Swingle, ot Park Street.
Tho biggest fish, so far rfs can be re
called, that has ever been caUght in
this vicinity is tho prized trophy of
Warrle Swingle, son of Merchant T, K.
Swingle, of Park street.
The big fish Is a German carp. It
weighs Just twenty-three pounds, nnd
Is calculated to bulge with wonderment
one's eyes at seeing a fish of such ex
traordinary slue and weight from one
of the ponds hereabouts. The carp Is
nearly three feet, thirty-four inches
long, and Is two feet In circumference,
It was caught In Lake Qulnslgatnond,
formerly known as Swingle's pond, nnd
located in Canaan. It was speared by
young Mr. Swingle, while near shore,
In a small creek outlet.
'Mr. Carp was quite a curiosity nt the
Swingle store last night, nnd It went a
good way to supply tho many friends
of the merchant, each with a generous
portion, ,
ANOTHER CAVE-IN.
Roadway Sinks in Front of the Coo
gan Property, Cottage Street.
There was another cave-In yesterday
in the southern part of the city, which
has become celebrated for Its earth set
tlings and one-sided base ball games.
The disturbance was In front of the
Coogan property on Cottage street, a
considerable distance from where the
recent settlings took -place, though
along the same thoroughfare.
Tho roadway for Its full width has
gone down for several feet. The distur
bance was sufficient to twist and break
the water mains, a feature that seems
to be un Indispensable feature, recent
ly, of a cave-In. There was no damage
noticeable about any of the properties.
The chief annoyance was the depriva
tion of water of residents in the vicin
ity. THE SMALLPOX PATIENTS.

His Last Hope Realized,
(l-'iom tho Sentinel, flebo, Mont.)
In tho first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers In 1SS9, the editor of this paper
was among tiie many seekers ufter for
tune whu made the big race ono flue
day In April. During his traveling
about and afterwards his camping upon
hi? clulm, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with tho severo
heut, gaye him a very severe diar
rhoea which It beemed almost Impos
sible to check, and along in June tho
case became so bad ho expected to die,
One duy ono of his neighbors brought
him one small bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Chulera and Diarrhoea Remedy
as a last hope. A big doso was given
him while he was rolling about on tho
ground In great agony, and In a few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for tx
rortnight. Tiiut one little Dottle worked
a complete, cure, nnd he cannot help
but feel grateful. The season for bowel
disorders being at hand suggests this

Men
We are not going to give you' any of the' thread
bare reasons for this reduction of price on Men's Ox
fords. It's not what you would call a regular Shoe
Sale just a special on a line of $3.50 Oxfords.
We've dropped the price $1.00.
Here's what our shoe buyer says: "I have a
lot of $3.50 Oxfords and I would like to clear them
out. While I have sold lots of Oxfords at $4 and $3,
the price $3.50 doesn't seem to be popular this sea
son. ' So to increase my shoe sales for this week'ithe
$3,50 Oxfords will be sold at $2.50." That's the whole
story in a nutshell. If you expect to wear this style
of shoe this summer, the opportunity presents itself
here and now. All the swell dressers wear Oxfords
this season "It's the proper thing.
