His collection Of five new varieties,
Regina, Rex, Purity, Bluebeard and
King Philip, are especially fine: He
offers this collection of five for 40 cents
and flower seeds. His collection Of rose
bushes is unusually good. Give him a

The Library will reap quite a neat
sum from. the efforts of the ladies to
earn a dollar. And they are going at it
in different ways. One lady in South
Center is making rye bread lat which
she is an adept and selling it. A lady
in the Street is charging her husband
SC every. time she answers the tele-
phone, which makes her husband groan
and lay in big sUock of nickles. An
other lady is making ice cream, and 50
it goes. Three cheers for the ladies
anyway! God bless them, what would
we do without them?

$39OO.7O

Mr. Morris calculates with a l2-mill
tax and an economical, business ad-
ministration, the town can pay it's bills
and pay $1,000 year on it's debt. The
treasury at present is practically emp
ty and it will be necessary for the town
October. This will increase the towns
indebtedness to $4,000, which is a
cheerful legacy from Mr. Glover's adj
ministration. Let us be thankful that
the town has started on a different
tack in the management of.its affairs,
and if the present wise course is con-
tinued the debt will steadily decrease.

better for him if he had transposed the

the bellboy fired when the boy explained
matters. The boy also did a good turn
for his former sovereign.
He had heard Aea tell the driver to go
next to the Hotel Roland.- He called a
friend of his employed at the Roland
and warned him that the queen was
coming. The friend told the clerk and
then made it possible for the queen to
get to bed after Aea, the secretary, had
passed a rigid examination.
He asked the clerk at the Roland for

That satisfied the clerk. He let the

Washington.
The queen, accompanied by her COM
panion, went shopping in the department
stores yesterday morning. They bought
some beads and bright remnants for the
folks at home and some department
store oil paintings for their own apart
ments.
The queen was terribly put to it in the
first store she visited. She got off the
elevator at the art, delicatessen and
fresh fish floor and asked to look at
some paintings.

Joseph admired It, too, and said that the

to look at some pigs knuckles and lost

TO be begun on November 6, the day

date is the day Immediately after the
jurors summoned for duty during the
month of November are required to re-

that the juries in the criminal branches,

however. even If the jury was completed
on Tuesday, November 5, IL would be i'm
possible. under the rules Of the court, for
the trial to be started on November =.
Under those rules the Government, in
capital cases, is compelled to serve the
defendant with a. list of the jurors who
are to pass upon the innocence or guilt
of the prisoner at least two whole days
before the trial begins If the jury was
therefore completed on Wednesday Mrs.
Bonine could not be called to trial under
this rule before Saturday, November 9.
That the trial Will be begun on that date
is. however highly improbable. Taking
everything into consideration. the anxiety
of both the Government and the defence
for an early trial, it is very likely that
the date will be changed to Monday, No

Persons who base their opinion on past
experiences state that IN all probability

is very little reason to doubt, Ii viii reach

this cause 1t is not expected that the
