Some time ago Will White of Em.
pOria loosely printed the fact that
the Smith Center library announced
it had received "a copy of David
Harum by that brilliant young
author, Rudyard Kipling." People in
the east began to write White that
Kipling did not write the book. Fin.
ally he got out of patience and
answered a librarian at Chicago to
the effect that Kipling did write
David Harum under an assumed
name. This story got around to the
New York Herald, and it wired White
the other day asking him il be could
substantiate the claim. White re.
ferred the Herald to Lydia Pinkham.

MANY ARE INTERESTED.
They Want to See a Track Estabiish-
ed md Winter Rnces Run.

Great interest has been aroused in the
city among all classes of people by the
undertaking in which number Of prom
inent gentlemen have taken the prelimi-
nary steps, and the hope that good win
ter racing may be had is generally ex-
pressed. Nearly all agree that the city's
interests would be greatly fostered by a
first-class track, and barns with many
horses and sporting men coming for a
stay during the winter.
A practical view Is taken of the matter
by a great many who carefully weigh
the various considerations that bear upon
en- undertaking of such magnitude, aud
it is said that the track itself might be
operated at a profit. If 1t could be shown
that the investment would be pretty sure
to pay, no difficulty would be found in
getting subscriptions to the stock neces-
sary to set the enterprise going.
The committee appointed at the meeting
held at the De Soto few nights ago, to
look into various questions bearing upon
the reorganization of the Jockey Club,
and the establishment of a track will soon
have a report framed. The gentlemen
comprising II do not propose to allow the
grass to grow under their feet. or the
undertaking to perish for lack Of atten-
ton. Subcommittee are now busy get
ting Up the required data, and it is be-
lieVed a comprehensive report will be made
at another meeting next week.

WILL BUY A CEMETERY SITE.
QUESTION HAS BEEN DEFINITELY
DECIDED BY COUNCIL.

Mayor Myers Says That After Much
Consideration This step Has Fin
ally Been Decided Upon-Present

Years Longer, He Says, and 1t VIII
Take Two Years to Get a New Site
in Condition for Use-City Will Pay
for the Land in Notes and RecOup
Itself by the Sale of Lots.
The appointment of the special Gene
terry Committee by the Mayor. with in
structions to obtain bids and report upon
The question of a new cemetery site, an
nounced in yesterdays Morning News,
does not mean simply THAI the committee
is expected to simply submit a formal re-
port expressing its views on the question
and perhaps designating some particular
site as suitable fer cemetery purpos, S. On
the contrary it means that the city is
preparing to take definite action on this
question.
"At the meeting in caucus the other
night said Mayer Myers, sit was finally
deciGed that the city should purchase lana
for new cemetery. Although the matter
had been under consideration for some
time and bids had been called for, the
city had not committed itself positively
to the purchase of rev cemetery, The
question still remaining open for discus
sion. 1t has now been decided that the
city shall buy tract of land for this
purpc Sc, provided. of course, that a suit
able tract is offered.
The .a1visablity CT providing for
new cemetery has been under c1nsidera
tion for several Years" said the Mayor.
"Such step has been frequently recon-
mended by the health officer and the mat
ter was given considerable attention dur
ing my former administration. IL was
taken up by the last administration and
again by the present adm nistration. The
time has now come for definite action
Laurel Grove cemetery cannot possibly
suffice more than five years longer. Prac-
tically all the available territory has al
ready been taken up and even now par
ties seeking desirable lots are compelled
TO go to Bonaventure. 1t will require at
least two yeas to put a new tract in con-
dition for cemetery uses, so you will see
that it is none too early 10 begin.
We shall want at least $50 acres suit
able for cemetery purposes and desirably
situated. Payment will doubtless be made
in notes Within two years time the Gem
etery can be placed in condition for use
for burial purposes and parties who ara
able to pay for choice lots will begin MAX
ing their selections. The annual receipts
from this source would doubtless go a
long ways towards meeting the citys
notes and thus the cemetery would prac-
tically pay for itself in a few years. SUI
burban lands are comparatively cheap at
present and are almost certain to advance
in price within the next few years. View
ing the question from this standpoint it
Is matter of economy for the city to
s cure suitable tract now when dssira-
prices"
An advertisement has been inserted in
the Morn ng News by Alderman Haas,
chairman of the special Cemetery Com
mittee, calling for bids for cemetery sites
to be submitted not later than noon of
May %. The committee is required 10
make its report within thirty days.
