ELECTRICITY AND LIFE.

1t has been demonstrated that an ami
NAL killed by electricity may be brought
to life. An ordinary current does not
produce instant death, and if it were pos
sible to have in readiness suitable APP
paratus, consciousness could be restored
by the infusion of defibrinated blood. In
a like manner, Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers, the well known tonic, infuses life
into debilitated bodies, by revitalizing
and purifying the blood, This wonderful
medicine permeates and distributes nu-
trtive material to every part of the
body If it's quality or circulation is de-
ranged, trouble follows. Constipation,
dyspepsia, liver and kidney disorders all
spring from weak condition of the di-
gestive organs, which affects the blood,
and through it the entire body The Bit
tiers cures all such disorders and is an
excellent spring tonic.

Young Mems Christian Association
Meets and Selects Officers for
the Coming Year.
CHANGES IN THE CONSTITUTION
Membership Fee Is Raised to Five Dollars
Year and Junior Membership Is
Provided for Boys of the City.

The annual meeting of the Young
Mems Christian Association of the
city was held at the par1ors Of the Con-
gregationa1 church, last evening, and
a large numbe of the members of the
association turnedNout to assist in the
election of the officers and directors
for the year. The following officers
were elected for the year:
President "A. E. Buckma ster.
Vice-P resident-W w. Cooper.
Treasurer G. Burr.
Recording Secretary-C. f. Beachet.
Directors-E. L. Grant, A. B. Ames,
w. N. Shandrew, G. N. Curtis.
After the election of the officers the
association spent quite little time
discussing the provisions for the new
building and the changes which will
be necessary for the welfare of the
association after it has moved into its
new home. The discussion resulted in
the changing of the constitution. In
the past the mem bership for the asso-
citation has been $500, but with the
great increase in benefits to be derived
c1uded that it would be necessary to
raise the annual membership fee, and
in the future the fee will be $500
There is no intention to shut out any
of the boys by raising the membership
fee, and on this account a provision
was made for Junior membership
which is open to boys between the ages
of twelve and sixteen years. The fee
for such mem bership will be So These
fees will entit1e both the Senior and
Junior mem bers to all the privileges of
the Association building. This in
c1udes free instruction in the gymna-
s1um, free baths, and free education
in the numerous night schools which
will be esta b1ished as soon as the asso-
citation is in working order.
The best equipment of the Assocta-
ton will be the bowling alleys, and
when they are in place they will be the
finest in the city. The alleys are to
be made in Chicago, and will be an ex-
act pattern of the alleys to be found in
Mussey's Bowling hall, in Chicago.
There will be a small fee in connec-
ton with the bowling alleys, to pay
the tender of the alleys.
The full list of attractions in the
Y. M. c. A. entertainment course will
be made public within the next few
days.
The money for the completion of the
building is being paid in very rapidly,
but the officers have discovered that
there will be a small deficit which will
be raised between now and the date
set for the dedication.

FOR CLEAN STREETS.
Yours Truly" Suggests Plan For Keeping
Main Street Free From Dirt

To the Editor: It would seem to the
casual observer that the Main street
merchants do not go at matters
in the right way to secure a clean
street. The street is now sprink1ed
and the cost of same is paid by the
several merchants. Cut off the sprinkler
and let the money so saved be put in
common fund. Suppose the said fund
amounts to from $40 to SIS weekly.
That will hire from two to three men.
The writer ventures to state that one
active, earnest worker, with proper
brooms, shovel and push cart, can keep
the whole of Main street clean. Ger
tain1y two can. What is the net gain?
Nothing more spent, and the street
will be clean. The labor of sweeping
off sidewalks and sweeping out the
stores will be 1ess-no filth to be
tracked out of the street. The sprink-
ling man will feel the lack of revenue
and wills ,bestir himself to have the
city pay him for the sweeping. Per-
chance he may don a duck suit and
trade his sprinkler for sweeper. But
hand sweeping is better for it gets the
dust as we'll as the dirt. How about it

Y. M. C. A. BOWLING ALLEYS
Will be Built by the Brunswick-Balke
ColIender Co., of Chicago.


w. Y. Thompson, manager of the
Bowling Alley Department of the
Brunswick-Ba1ke Co11ender Co., made
a flying trip to Kenosha Friday to take
measurements for the bowling alley in
the Y. NJ. c. A. building. The con-
tract, signed by Willis W. Cooper,
Chairman of the Building Committee,
calls for two of the finest alleys that
can be built. The alleys will be of
regulation size in every respect, built
on the most recently patented styles
and of the popular patterns. The
specifications relating to construction
of alleys and all appointments we're
referred to John Keh1or for his ap-
prevail and the entire outfit will be of
the highest grade. The entire flooring
of the bowling alley room, including
spectators gallery, will be of maple
highly polished. Instead of finishing
ceilings in plaster, the rooms will be
finished in beaded flooring highly pol
ished. The return chutes of the alleys
are of novel design, the chute from the
pit making a sudden descent, then
running around on side of alleys and
down close to the floor so as not to OBJ
struct any part of alley from players
or spectators. The concrete founda-
ton for the bowling alleys is now be-
ing laid and it, is expected that the
room will be completed the first week
in November.
