$1,000 in taxes. From this the bond
interest of $1,000 annually is paid and
IA fund to pay Off bonds is created.
All this was done to prove that the
city was in II bad financial way and
that there was reason for3the employ
ing of tho unusual means, an occupa-
tion tax, to meet expenses.
The prosecution brought out that
the debt Of the city,was incurred be-
fore the present year, the present
clerk having issued no time warrants
and the present treasurer having paid
all warrants. That the street i'm
provement was paid for by property
owners, that the bonds were not due
for two years, and in short argued
that the city affairs were not in need
OF so desperate a remedy.
The testimony closed about II
o'clock and the lawyers began their
arguments.

Joe ROsenberg's Store.

That is the title of the new business
house in the Acers block on west
Madison avenue which opened its
doors for business Monday morning
Behind the counters were Mr.. Rose en-
berg, his wife and Mrs, Barnes and
ever since early morning they have
been kept busy, not only in showing
goods but wrapping them up and
making change. TO be sure the stock
is not all in aud there are some vacant
places on the shelves but the atten-
ton of the visitors was diverted from
this fact and was riveted on the
choice collection OF dry goods and
shoes and notions which have already
arrived. Tue room is large and airy
and there are few people in lola who
have the gift of showing goods with
as good grace as have Mr. Rosenberg
and Mrs. Barnes, so the people who
attended the opening, and nearly
everybody seems to have been there,
were highly pleased. To each visitor
a pretty china souvenir was given
and courteous and cordial invitation
to call again. The new store starts
out with a host of friends, and the
REGISTER predicts that it will have
more.
