Zlegler. whose amendment to the cltr charter adopted at the last election Interferes with the vacation of Market atreet. between Second and Third streets. Intended for th nw Auditorium, expressed himself yester day aa In favor of amending hla ordi nance to permit the dealred vacation. He haa been asked to draw np an mendment. Mr. Zlegler satd be had not glrsn tha subject much thought, aa yet. but that he expected to begin work on th amendment next week. Two plana had, been rogiCested to h'.m. he said. One la to so amend the act that the city ad ministration may vacate city property for the clty'a own use. in cases where It owoa all the abutting property. The other Is to permit th vacation of Market street at the desired point. Mr. Zlegler said that tns question naa been raised as to whether the first plan would be constitutional, on the ground that It would be class legisla tion. Some lawyer, he said, hava held that the city's property rights are th same as an Individuals, or a private corporation's; and that such an amend ment would not be admissible In law. Mr. Zlegler thinks the point Is not well taken. He believes city property s nublto property, and therefore could not be placed on a basis with Individual property. The amendment will probably be snb. milted at tha commission government charter election In January. STORE EMPLOYES STEAL Girl and Salesman Conleaa Theft of J-aoe, $200 and Shoes.

Headquarters for the tags will be at Rows & Martin's Drug store, corner Sixth and Washington streets. The one who sells the most tags will be presented with a diamond ring. If we cannot raise enough voluntary tag sellers, we will continue to sell tags until all are sold If we do not raise enough funds on tag day, we will be obliged to go East and solicit money among our friends and relations. This Journey would postpone the building one year later. Every denomination should help in selling tags as In the past five years the Sisters have made no distinction in creed.
