Two Weeks from last-night property
owners on West Adams avenue will
be given an opportunity to again re
monstrate regarding the ' proposed
macadam on that Btreet from Fourth
to the hospital. This is the Bolutlon
of a knotty problem that has been
bothering the council for some time,
but which was cleared up last even'
Ing at the council meeting, albeit con
siderable pepper was sprinkled on the
incident When the original estimates
as to the cost of macadam was made
Known, forty-two cents per square
yard was the price quoted by the ap
praisers as the estimated cost of
building the macadam street This es
tlmate was based upon the bid of John
L. Mars for the work on East Adams,
who, it is alleged Is losing several
hundred dollars on the contract But
in the meantime, the estimates for the
West Adams project had been' mad i
on this basis, and notices sent to the
property owners, giving them
chance to remonstrate.'When the bids
came in for the work, it was found
impossible to have the work done at
the original estimate, or anywhere
near it. the lowest price obtainable
being 75 cents per square yard. For
the council to order the work done at
almost doubled price, seemed Injudi
cious, and after hearing legal opin
ions to the -effect that such a proce
dure would be lawful, and that the
city council could compel the proper
ty owners to pay the difference, the
council decided to give the owners
an opportunity of remonstrating the
second time, two weeks hence.

"What Is this phalacrosls?" asked
the fwifwcntftr. .
"It is a sort of chronic disease of an
Inflammatory nature which affects cer
tain cranial tissues."
"Does It affect the mind, cause In
sanity or anything like that?" ...
'Well. ,1 shouldn't wish to answer
that question, a un expert because I
am not posing as uo expert, but 1
have known some persons who were
suffering from the dlwase to become
raving maniacs, others merely foolish,
some showed destructive and pugilis
tic tendencies, while many others have
suffered for years and never shown
any mental abnormalities."
"Well, doctor. Just tell the Jury all
about this sickness." '
"I decline to do sol I am not an ex
pert In such diseases and was not
summoned here as an expert witness,
Tou will have to call In an expert o
answer your questlou." .."
And there the , matter rested. The
prosecutor told the Justice and jury the
case was not of sufficient importance
to warrant the calling of expensive
experts and that they would hare to
ignore tbe.doctor's .testimony, as unsup
ported and unworthy of credence. Hut

When the prosecutor got back to his
office he sought cnllgbteument and In
his dictionary found the following:

"Ah, have no fear, monsieur. It

village physician, whom tbe prosecutor
loved not and sought to humiliate.
"You are prejudiced in favor of the
defendant, are you not. doctor?"
"No. sir."
"You are bis family physician, are
you not, and you are afraid you will
lose bis patrounge, consequently you
have willfully distorted and doctored
