The citizens of Extra participated in

somewhat complicated Monday morn

Hugh Owen came near taking q
trip by the asphixiation route
Monday night. He fell asleep on the
sitting room couch ut home, leaving
the lamp burning, and was awakened
by strangulation only a little while af-
The lamp doomed and emit
ted smudge that would strange a
smoke stack, and when he was awak
ened by the choking sensation his fea-
lures were ebony, and the entire room
was filled with the smudge. 1t had so
thoroughly permeated the house that
the family took breakfast in the wash
house.
TIE REPUBLICAN, hopes that Mayor
Hannas committee on printing will
avail itself of the facilities of the local
press more literally than in 1891, be-
Iieying that the people would gladly
pay for the information thus derived.
While the city is expanding much
money in public improvements it Is
willing to go little further and know
Just how 1t Is expend ed. The amount
Of bills allowed and for what service,
published after each meeting would be
information to the pub lie
and would indeed be but a matter of
Justice.
