DROP THAT CIGARETTE!

Brooklyn Eagle: The gathering of
cigar stubs gives employment to large
number of Italian women and children.
As reporter wended his way home
warl early one morning recently, he saw
an Italian lad with bag strapped upon
his shoulders walking in the cutters of
the streets in the vicinity of the city
hall. The boy was collecting burned
cigar ends. At dawn the public thor
oughfares are thronged with industrious
little laborers, who before the sun rises
clean the streets of all discarded cigar
stubs. Until an inquiry was made at a
local cigar store the reporter was at a
loss TO know what became of the cigar
stubs gathered. The dealer in tobacco
said:
You would be surprised to know the
the amount of money Italians make by
gathering cigar stubs. do not think /
put the figures high when | state that
no less than $4,000 cigars are smoked in
Brooklyn daily. The number consumed
may be more or less, but nevertheless
the fact remains that nine out of ten
men smoke, During the day larger
part of the smoking is done out of doors,
and the stubs of the cigars, when Who'll
ly or partly consumed, are thrown into
the gutter. In the vicinity of the city
hall, where large crowds of men gather
at all times duriag the day, the number
OF cigar stubs found is scarcely credible
"'rhe cigar stubs are utilized in many
ways. After being gathered the butts,
by which name cigar ends are some
times - ,own, are sorted and graded,
and the dark and light shades of tobac-
CO placed in separate heaps. The to-
baceo in the stubs is then pulled out and
thoroughly washed. The washing pro-
cess Is done to eradicate all ashes and
burned tobacco. After the tobacco has
been dried and graded again it is ready
for sale. Cigar stubs are sometimes
made up into cheap quality of five
cent cigars. or oftener sold to cigarette
manufacturers, who mix tie stubs with
other tobacco" Drop that cigarettel

They May"

EDITOR INDEX:-I am Il poor talker
at public meeting, therefore | prefer
to express my opinions through the
press. In your issue of last week, there
appeared good article concerning the
high prices asked here for resident lots.
In general, it is a good indication, if
real estate is high: but we are not that
lar along with our town. 1t is COM
mon complaint by strangers and home
people, that the prices for lots are en-
tlrely out OF proportion with the size,
trade, surrounding country and pros
poets of the city. We can no longer
close our eyes TO this evil, which has
caused the past and present hardness,
and Will prove serious in the future if
not remedied.
Where is the boom to come from. if
we can retain but one out of hundred
who come here to locate and invest?
Ask the builders and business men if
they have not been disappointed. so far,
since the railroad came? Are the pros
poets now flattering? Something must
be done without delay. The start must
be made by our home people, who own
vacant lots in great numbers and have
them for sale; the outsiders will have
to follow or have no buildings OH their
additions.
Specializing in lots is not my bust
ness. have but ten to spare and these
L will sell at cost. They are on the east
side of Walnut street, opposite the row
of tenement houses. There is no danger
from wafer; in seven years the highest
point of water, except the food, was
nearly three feet below the bank. Good
soil and excellent water at the depth of
twelve feet. Below l will give the fig
ures OF cost. taken from my ledger:

City Finances.

In this issue is published the quar-
terly report of the city treasurer. It
should be carefully read by every citi-
zen, but more especially by those who
are just now clamOring that the outgo-
ing city council has done nothing for
the city, and that no good can come of
collecting fines from the liquor dealers.
OF the l,242.4 received into the city
treasury since the 9th of December
S622.6S of the amount was from taxes.
collected by the county treasurer, and
The balance from fines and licenses.
The latter sum has, then, averaged 500
per month.
Suppose the fines are cut off and the
city government must be supported
from direct taxation, and this would
necessitate the doubling of the levy for
the city purposes. During the three
months covered by the treasurer's re-
port, there was paid out Sl,I21.15. A
careful examination of the itimized ex-
penditures will convince any reasonable
man that no extravaganza was display.
ed. Of the total expenditures, 500 was
expended for work on the streets, cross
ings and lamps. That is more than
was collected from taxes. Then there
is the expense of the city marshal, and
deputy part of the time.
1t will not be claimed by the most
enthusiastic prohibitionist that the city
can do without marshal, and there
will be no one to say that all of the
street improvements that should be
made can be paid for out of the very
small amount of taxes yet to be COL
lected.
So what is the sense in saying that
we can get along without the fines from
the saloons and drug stores as we'll as
not.
We would have every voter carefully
read the treasurer's report before de-
Gliding that he wants a radical change
in the management of city affairs.

Shooting at KinWa.

The Kiowa Herald of yesterday says:
"A German from Sharon, came over to
our city Tuesday and became intoxica-
ted. Marshal Disbrow made an effort
to get him To the hotel but the man re-
fused TO enter, so he started with HIM
for the cooler. When near the cooler.
the prisoner drew out his revolver and
shot the marshal through the shoulder,
but the shot did not disable the marshal
and he knocked the mIn down with his
club. The prisoner fired three more
shots, none of which took effect. The
marshal felt that the wound was disab-
ling him, and he called for help, but did
not forget to keep on pounding. Help
soon came and the man was lodged in
the cooler. The wound is not serious
one, and the marshal will soon be ready
for duty.
