He was unconscious for three hours. Several of the Argus' exchanges are printing that hoax about Dr. Carrow plaoing a watch crystal in a man 's eye to keep out inflammation. It is remarkable how, much more a flrst rate lie will get disseminated tban an actual truth. The auction held a week ago yesterday on the farm of the late George N. B.

P McKinstry for embezzlement has been withdrawn, and a new warfantr issued in the case. The new warrant is under a later statute.which does not make it incumbent upon the prosecution to prove a felonious intent, but makes it a prima faoie case up.oo tbe failure of the offloer to turn over all monies at the expiration of his office.

A parade of the Light Infantry headed by the band at noon Wednesday announced that the Mid-Winter Circus opening day had arrived. The parade was a winner and the show is a great success in every way.

In Detroit Monday night where Rivarde appeared with the Thomas orchestra, the two had a misunderstanding, and the little Spaniard was for shutting up his violin box and bolting the concert. However, Thomas acquiesed to the seleotions Rivarde desired but his musicians played them in a puzzle for the dreamy eyed youth. That made him bot and he called Thomas a oad in all the newspapers in Detroit. At the council meeting Monday evening Aid. Koch presented a minority report from the committee on printing the report recently made by the board of works. Aid. Koch used the weapon of sarcasm to good advantage. He said that the board of works' report had assured the council of the high standard of excellence whioh obtains in its several departments, and that it had referred to the oomtnon council as a body of political healers and that the board had been obliged to imbibe its bitter instructions piece meal, like paregoric, as the infant of the nursery at its loving mother's knee.
