That notice published in the
Woodward News recently of a
birth in the family of another
newspaper man, is not only insult
ing to the editor referred to, but a
disgrace to the profession of journal
ism. 1t is too disgustingly vulgar to
be laughable. Such low coarse
gags" may do for the rowdyism Of a
saloon or an alley, but the news
paper is supposed to be read in the
home, and if the writer of that ar
tlcle has children, their young and
tender lives are certainly commit
ted to poor keeping. As well may
we give the children decayed food
and expect them to become healthy
men and women as to feed their sus.
ceptible young minds on such nau-
seating stuff as this, and expect of
them a moral future. There are two
or three writer's in this state who
seem to think the wittiest man is the

that come within the bounds of the

NEW ATTRACTIONS THIS WEEK.
Palm Garden Opens with a First
Glass Bill.

When the curtain went up for the
initial performance of the week at the
Palm Garden last evening the audience
saw an entire company of new faces.
There were pretty girls, fetchingly cos
TUNED, and funny comedians made up
for grotesque character parts, amid a
pretty stage setting that promised a
first-class entertainment. The promise
was fulfilled.
The first part, one-act farce, entitled
eve All Do Well" was laughabe
throughout, while each of the company
was afforded an opportunity for a well
rendered song, or a few new jokes.
Among the specialties, the Shaw broth
ers, on the flying trapeze, made the hit
of the evening. Their feats are daring
and accomplished with graceful ease
Riley and Whitecliffe, in a musical
sketch, appeared to advantage, while
Thelma Wheeler did some clever buck
dancing. In the serpentine dance Mile
Lira was graceful and went through the
whirling evolutions with the effect
heightened by calcium lights. Miss Hat
tie Newman sang some new songs lin a
pleasing voice, while Frank Swain, in a
comedy turn. created much amusement
Louise Beverley, in a serio-comic role,
added much to the entertainment, and
the Marshes, in Illustrated Songs, were
a novelty. The Zimmerman team, in
operate selections, were heartily re-
ceived.

Van BUREN SCHOOL CLOSES
HITCH IN AWARDING COAL CON-
TRACT LEAVES THE BUILDING
UNTENANTABLE 9-.-t..

1t Is Expected That the Difficulty
VIII Be Solved and the Contract
for Furnishing Fuel Will Be
Signed Today.
There has been a hitch somewhere in
the countersigning of the contract for
furnishing the school board with coal
for the ensuing year. The purchasing
committee, consisting of Mayor Kiefer.
City Treasurer Horst and President, Dix,
of the assembly, awarded the contract
to three firms in July last. It was then
decided by THE legal department of the
city that the contract must be let to the
lowest responsible bidder and not to
three Of the bidders. The coal COM
panies who were to be given the an.
portionment held7a session and agreed
that. the Ohio Coal company should get
the contract and then draw on the
others for an equal share of the coal
ordered. This delayed the approval of
the contract and bond and the result is
that one of the schools-the Van Buren,
is closed down on account Of having
no coal with which to operate the heating
and ventilating plants. T. .---. 80
President Zimmerman, of the school
board, was notified that under the cir
cumstances the comptroller would audit
plIlS IOr coal even tnOugn the contract was
not signed, but Mr.. Zimmerman refused
to do business in this way and ordered
that no coal could be purchased or or,
dered until the contract was signed
Comptroller McCardy, seen yesterday
afternoon, said the contract had not as
yet reached his Office, but was in the
hands of the city attorney. At the
city attorneys office it was learned that
the bond had not been duly, executed,
but would be ready for the signature Of
the comptroller today

CHESTNUT STREET PAVING
COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE
WORK
1t Is Charged That the Pavement
Was Not Well Laid, as Well as
That the Assessment Against the
Prqyperty is No Fair.

Tvs weeks agos liea board of public
works rejected bids for paving with as
phalt three streets$on the ground that
the figures were in excess of the esfimate
of thescity. engineer for the; work AT
that time there were two bidders, the
Warren-Scharff Co and Hennessey &
Cox Yesterday there was but one bid
der, -Hennessey & Cox. The figures sub
mitted were the same as those two weeks
ago by the same firm. Paving Summit
avenue from Sixth to Rice streets, $1,O63;
estimate of city engineer, $6,411; paving
Harrington avenue from Summit to Mel
son avenues, $10,532 estimate of city en-
gfneer, $9,7O6; paving Sherburne avenue
from Cedar street to its eastern terminus,
$4,O4O estimate of city engineer $3,S0S. The
bids were taken under consideration by
the board.
The completion of the assessment for
the paving of Chestnut street from Sew
enth to the Milwaukee tracks was ad-
journed to Thursday. Charles Eaton and
Helen Stone filed objections to the assess
ment on the ground that it was illegal
and unfair. Horace Bigelow and Robert
Seng also notified the board that the pave
ment had not been well laid. The board
took an hour off and went out to view the
paving but arrived at no conclusion as to
it's condition. Mr.. Shepley, of the firm of
Fielding & Shepley, who put down the
pavement, said that the trouble was that
the street had been used by heavy teams
before the cement had been given
chance to dry. The board will take the
matter up today.

him in the immediate vicinity being as
