United -States ~Army and < Navy all" officers and enlisted men under 45 years of age are immunized against typhoid fever. Realizing the tremendous saving and the benefit derived from pro- phylactic immunization against “Ayvvhoid fever, many corporations, where large numbers of men are employed, are now recommend- ing typhoid innoculation to the employes.

SEWER ASSESSHENTS Assessment Board Unable to Ascertain Benefits Derived by Property Owners —Street to Be Raised. Because of the fact that the ultimate grading of Buell street will raise that street anywhere from six to eight feet higher than it is mow, thus leaving lots on either side, far below the level of the street, there is a question whether or not the property owners on that street can be asseéssed for any actual benefits. .For this reason, as- sessments on Buell street from Bassett to Greenwood will be postponed until the complettion of the work on the street, if recommendations by the board of compensation and assessment are adopted by common council to- morrow evening. According to law the benefits from such improvements must be direct and ifmmediate. Assessments cannot be laid on benefits that are shown to be re- mote, contingent_or umecertain. Under these circumstances the board finds it difficult to make an assessment of a substantial amount upon the owners of the land. The board of police commi feel it unnecessary to have a trafhic officer on duty all day at Elm and Church stréets but will place one there during the noon hour and from 5 to 6 p. m_ A silent officer also has been placed at Broad and Washington streets. oners MUCH EXCITEMENT IN LOCAL THEATER Marauding Rat Runs Amuck, to Consternation of Girls An ice cream cone, a marauding ro- dent, an, interrupted act, 11 fright- ened girls, screams of terror, an ex- cited female trying to climb over the back of a seat, a flash of hosiery, ushers to the rescue, confusion in the audience, a masculine No. 7, a call for the police, a bluecoat and a locust club, a triumphant usher and a dead rat all conspired last night to fur- nish a thrill to an audience in a lo- cal theater which was not on the pro- gram and threatened for a few min- utes to create a small sized panic. It was during a vaudeville act. A young lady in the cast vainly tried to render a solo, amidst the confu- sion, and it is a tribute to the quality of her act to state that when the excitement had cleared away she again held the attention of her aud- fence. All was quiet and peaceful. Not even the summer breezes dis- turbed the melodious voice of the young lady on the stage. In a front row of seats, sat a party of 11 young ladies. The house was about two- thirds full. In the balcony officer 90 was watching the girls on the stage and peacefully dreaming of the nice sleep he had coming when his shift was over. The 11 young women were watching the show and occasionally varied the monotony by raising the velvet curtain and having a brief flirtation with someone in the orches- tra. A vender of ice cream cones had passed that way with his wares but a few moments before, and upon these cones hangs a tale. Suddenly there was a restless move- ment among the audience. Feet be- gan shifting in strange maneuvers, interest in the young woman on the stage seemed to be eclipsed by some- thing nearer. The restlessness spread until it became almost a widespread confusion. It reached across-the aisle until by this time hardly a person realized that the actress still was sing- ing. Finally the girls in the front how noticed the confusion. Not knowing the cause of the trouble, which up until this time had remained an undercurrent of apprehension, scarcely noticeable except to those di- rectly concerned, yet instinct seemed to effect them with a feeling of ner- vousness. The girl on the stage was forgotten. “What's the trouble?” growled a masculine voice and the faces of the young women. in front blanched with fear as the dreaded word, “rat,” was whispered in their rear. Hardly had the word been spoken than the cause of the disturbance popped out from under a seat and sauntered nonchal- antly down the aisle, carrying in its teeth a jui.; chunk of ice cream cone. But Mr. Rat was destined to learn that for some the glare of the bright lights is the lure of death. He head- ed straight for the spotlight ahead. The 11 young ladies were directly in his path. But closer to the fatal route he was traversing reposed a man’s number 7 and inside a foot. Mr. Rat stepped into range; it was a target too good to miss. In another second the number 7 had moved and the ro- dent did an aeroplaae stunt across the aisle, coming to a full stop against the seat wherein reposed the person of the first of the 11 young ladies. Immediately there was a wild scramble for safety. Eleven pairs of white shoes suddenly disappeared from the floor and the railing along the orchestra pit looked like a bar- gain display of summer footwear. But the cause of all the trouble, finding he was in wrong, became be- wildered and in his attempts to es- cape, darted across the row of seats where sat the 11 fair maidens. All was turmoil and excitement. The feet on the railing disappearéd, no man knew where. Suddenly a young woman as seen to jump to her seat and attempt to climb over the back. By this time several of the girls ap- peared to be on the verge of hys- terics and scream after scream of ter- ror pierced the air and drowned the voice of the actress on the stage. The man upstairs in the booth threw on the house lights and re- vealed a group of badly frightened young women, and incidently a flash of hosiery which must have made the actress feel like a piker. Ushers flew to the scene. An S O S for police re- serves brought Officer 90 post haste from the balcony. The excited girl was calmed, 11 young women sat on 11 pairs of feet, the lights were turned off, the spotlight resumed its natur- al position and the show proceeded. But the final act was not yet. When the curtain dropped it was seen that the rat, still seeking a means of es- caping the consequences of the trouble it had caused, had tried to sneak out the other side and ran afoul of Officer 90 and his trusty trunchean. One fell sweep and the head of the rat family gave up the ghost as 11 very much relieved young ladies made a hurried exit by way of the other aisle. RSONAL.
