Matter In District t'onrt.
George Clucas. Indicted for the theft of
two horse on October 26 last front Joe,
alia "Oypsy" Stevens, entered a plea of
guilty In the district court yesterday and
was sentenced by Judge Green to two and
a half years" Imprisonment In the peniten
tiary at Fort Madison.
With the sentencing of Clncas yesterday
the criminal docket for this term Is cleared
of the casea of seven Indicted by the grand
Jury, all of whom have entered pleas of
guilty and been sentenced.
This morning Judge Green will hold a
session of the juvenile division of the dis
trict court, when a number of youthful of
fender will be brought before him for a
hearing. Among the number will be the
five youths charged with stealing coal from
Illinois Central rars and young Konkler,
charged with stesling candy from the Bur
lington freight house and who succeeded
with young Solomon In making his escape
from the Juvenile detention ward in the
county court house.
Judge Green will also have before him
this morning the case of three children of
Mrs. Algood, living on Klghteenth avenue,
between Ninth and Tenth streets. The
children, who are aged 13, 10 and 8 re
spectively, do not attend school and It Is
said have not attended for two years. An
Information against them waa filed yester
day by Rev. Henry DeLong, truant officer
for the school board. The father of the
children, It is alleged, deserted them and
the mother has been unable to properly
clothe them so that they can go to school.
West Enders ot Satisfied.
The city council will meet this after
noon as a committee of the whole to con
ilder the bids for 1,000 feet of fire hose for
the new engine house In the southern part
f the city.
The committee is also expected to take
up the matter of paving West Brondway.
Residents of the western part of the city
ire opposed to the proposition to pave only
i strip thirty-six feet in width. The width
of lower Broadway la fifty-two feet and
to pave only thlrty-eix feet would leave
a strip eight feet each side between the
aalng and the present parking. The city
jfllrlals are of the opinion that the abut
ting property cannot stand more than the
pvtng of thirty-six feet, but what the West
Sutlers object to Is the fact that the city
ouncll does not contemplate making any
Revision for adding the eight-foot strips
0 the parking.
According to the present plans of the city
jouncll the street on each side of the pav
llitf Is to be left in Its present condition,
to which the west enders object. They
:lalm that It will leave nn unsightly strip
n each side of the paving which in wet
weather will become nothing more or less
.hau mud holes, and that wagons will be
viable to drive ui In front of business
;laces without driving off the paving and
nto the mud. Backed up by tho West
End Improvement club residents of that
vctlon of the city insist that the street be
ved its entire width or else the portion
lot Improved be added to the parking.

BE MODERATE IN EXERCISE

While Dressing, tiet All

The beginning of the fall term of sc hool
and college and the reorganisation of
teams for various kinds of strenuous Inter
scholastic and Intercollegiate contest baa
revived the Interesting, If Interminable,
discussion a to what kind of exercise, and
how much of It, Is beneficial to the man,
young or old, whose normal life Is seden-
lrj, iinii wu.i
akes exercise neither spon-

Few Persons appreciate the fact that even
la work which (teems sedentary tissue Is
consumed In one way or another, and that
they cannot alternate It with other hard
work under the Impression that It Is recrea
tive exercise, without burning the vital
candle at both ends. To people who live In
cltle the' drain of normal dally life upon
the physical and mental encrglva Is usually
all they are able to meet.
It la safe to soy that the average busi
ness man will get all the special exercise
he needs if he takea it while dressing In
the morning. For this purpose light dumb
bells or Indian cllub (If he has room to
swing them), or the chest weights, or even
an elastic strap with handles, Is all the
apparatus ho needs. He can do without
even these If he will learn from any book
on calisthenics the simple motion, of the
body and Umba which bring the commonly
unused muscle into play.
Exercise for Its own sake should not be
taken when It Induce fatigue; It should
hot ordinarily be prolonged after it ha
started sensible perspiration, unless one Is
prepared for a bath and change of under
clothing at its termination. With modera
tion In eating and drinking and seal In ths
performance ot the duties of life, modera

In surprise.
