The City Getting Proud.

So many people of late have stgni-
fled desire to become the guests of
the city from time to time that the
council has felt called upon to pre-
pare for them more suitable place
of abode. with this in view the old
calabO has been remodelled, a par
tition now separating the Hotel de
Bumbum into two large airy rooms,
both facing the open air aud both
provided with easy access to the
police court. A handsome stove with
natural gas connection will be oper-
ated for the benefit OF patrons. The
rules of this hostelry are few and
definite.
Guests are urged and compelled to
leave all valuables with the clerk i'm
the city hall.
Meals served in the room will be
charged up on the costs bill
Guests are not allowed to play the
piano or other musical instruments
between the hours of ~ m. and II m.
Anyone blowing out the gas in the
stove will he buried next day but the
proprietor will not guarantee a very
impressive funeral.
Children are not allowed to play in
the halls.
Dogs will not be allowed in the
hotel. A special place, the pound, is
run in connection for their special
benefit.
Guests who desire to leave their
rooms must first square the matter
with the clerk and give good tond for
their return.
The rings Of the bell are as follows:
One ring-polceman wanted; two
rings-police Judge; three rings-a
sack of Dukes Mixture and papers
ora pipe; four rings-a minister
wanted. (Note-the wires on this
bell are out oforder and do not work J.:
five rings-ice water or beer or mixed
drinks
The new hotel will doubtless be
well patronized.

lowed to pay Off one 81 900 bond per
annum or more II desired. The saw
ing in interest will amount to $4,000
annually and means something to the
tax payers. All Allen county is in
terested in these matters as they all
show that the townships are paving
the way to get out of debt and thus
cut their taxes down.

Sane or Insane .

Mr.. s. COPPER, who lives with his
brother-in-law, Mr.. b. Nj. Hunsaker,
at Prairie Hall. in Salem township
was tried by jury in the probate court
this afternoon on a charge of insanity
brought by Mr.. Hunsaker. COPPER
is married man who left Oklahoma
where his wife is, about two years
ago, for some reason. For some time
his relatives have noted his queer
actions and suspected that he was
not right, but recently when he
secured q revolver and made the re.
mark that he would shoot someone
they became alarmed for the first
time. The young daughter of Mr.
Hunsaker has been very sick fol
several days from the fright COPPER
gave her on that occasion. Mr.
Glbbs, another brother-in.law from
Kincaid, also appeared before the
court and testified that COPPER was
insane. The unfortunate man is
certainly trou bled with very mild
form of insanity as he was perfectly
quiet while In the custody of the au-
thorities.

couple, hitch up to the wagon and

anyone, but go direct to the probate
judge and get married. She has on

he marches through the streets and
holds her hand. No one has to put
up for hacks and no one Is stuck for
wedding presents. No foolishness,
no boys az ushers, no ribbons, no

IOLA'S PICK POCKETS
A RecapitulatiOn, of. the Retribution
Which Overlook the Seven Who
Were CapturedEIIere.

When lola gave her reception to the
returned soldiers who live here there
was a crowd Of 10000 people in town.
That was on the 4th day of Novem ber
and among the crowd were fine lot
of pick pockets lwho robbed in the
neigh berhood of fifty people. seven
suspected men were captured and the
courts have been busy ever since in
trying and sentencing them.
On November I, G. Austin pleaded
guilty in police court to the city
charge of disturbing the peace and
resisting arrest. He was fined S25
aud coste, which amounted in all to
1925. He left town without any
thing more to say.
On Novem her S Davis Harvey and
James Moilitt pleaded guilty IN police
court in the same way and were al
lowed to leave on payment of S32. %
each.

On the night of November 8, Henry
FeiDburg, father of Isaac Feinburg
tried to bribe the principal witness
for the prosecution, not to testify
against his son. The old gentlemau's Is
bond was fixed at $500 which he gave
and his case was set for hearing in
the next term of the district court.
Isaac Feinburg pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to the penitentiary at
hard labor for the term Of one year.
William King stood trial and the
jury falling To agree, he was allowed
his liberty. In lieu of $500 bond he
was allowed to deposit $500 in cash
with the clerk of the court.
Joe Ahern was tried by jury and
found guilty. He is but bov OF
some II or IA years and will be sent to
the reform school.
Harry Johnson another youth was
tried by jury, but the jury failing to
agree, he was placed under $500 bond
to appear at the next term of the dis
trict court.
So it figures out like this: Three OF
them paid into the city treasury the
sum of S96.75; one went to the pen for
a year aud has his father started that
way unless the old man forfeits his
bond, which would mean the loss OF
$500; two are to stand anothe: trial;
and the seventh is going to the re-
form school.
II is fairly safe to assert that the
seven agree that picking the pockets
of lola people does not pay.
