Where do the people get this carp
ing spirit from?" asked the hotel man.
Take this little carnival we had here
last year Every man who contributed
money towards making it a success IS
more than satisfied. Now, we have
under way the Pioneer semi-centennial
jubilee. which is TO be a state affair.
The commission is appointed under the
law by the governor, and is composed
of the best men and women in the
community. They are giving their time
and energy without hope or desire of
reward, and yet at the first crack, all
the bushwhackerS come out OF 80
brush and take q crack at them. I
don't know what's the matter with
such people unless they are opposed
to prosperity on general principles, and
want to see what was designed to be
great state celebration brought down
to a little old-fashioned basket picnic
This carping spirit must overcome,
not with reference to carnivals espec-
tally, but in regard to all matters az
fecting the progress of the city, before
it can be made great city"

No. IA North Market street.
The same rear window scheme was
worked. The wooden shutter was pried
open and the window raised. The burg
lars walked directly to the south show
window, and after securing two large
valises from the stock, flied them with
high-priced patent feathers, tans and
cordivans. About s75 worth was taken.
The money drawer was broken open but
nothing was secured. Officers Brisbin
and Harding were notified and are work
