Dyche becomes mayor, It will be necessary to elect two alder- men from the^ Seventh ward, as he Would necessarily have to resign as alderman, and the term of Mr. Knapp Ires this year. In the Third ward e same situation prevails, for it is Alderman Carter's term which expires, and Mr. Smart, who is a prospective candidate for mayor, would probably resign the office which he holds, the one year, before beginning to make the tmce. - ■ Ksome so ^"1^,^^^ me owce WB1CII oe noiaB, faring with the m^M; *$&& 0r which does norespire for FUND MOT YET COMPLETE The committee having in charge the raising of the final few thousand dollars tm the $100,000 endowment for the Contagious Disease hospiUl did not succeed in completing its work be- fore the end of the year, but the mem- bers are hoping a sufficient amount will be subscribed before the end of January to insure not only the total $100,000* which was to be subscribed, hot to provide for any possible con- tingency which might make it impos- sible for any contributor to make good on his subscription. Circular Letters Now Out. Chairman Thomas H.

Petix arrived in Bv- anston, Thursday, Jan. 2. Mr. Petix, who is an Italian, was the vic- torious party in a quarrel with an- other man over a girl, whose identity could not be ascertained. He had not been here long before the 'Bvanston police, who had received notice of the escape of the man from the. Chicago authorities, had laid their trap and trapped the fugitive from Justice. He was immediately turned over to the East Chicago avenue police station, where he is booked on the charge of "assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill." The injured man, who was terribly lacerated as a result of the attack of Petix, is critically ill, but the chances for his recovery seem very favorable. Since the encounter every effort has been made to locate the girl who caused it, but both men loyally refuse to divulge her name, and the young lady has not taken sufficient interest to even ask after the condition of her two adorers. f An Varfedif ai Plant* at* bast OPERA STARS TO SING AT FIRST M.
