PRO AND CON.
Councilmen, in open-to-A Session
Before Last Nights Meeting, Dis
cuss Various subjects-Numbering
of Houses.

While awaiting one member to COM
p!ate quorum last night, the common
councilmcn and the city engineer dis
cussed The DaCkWardncss of tarbondale
in rot having all the houses numbered
Every one had II different plan for the
numbering OF the houses. Names of
various streets. which now appear daily
before the publ" eye. Was talked of and
also new names for streets which are
expected 10 be marked out in the near
future, before carbondalc gets a mount
ed mailcarrier. In regard TO the NAM
Ing of streets, one solon thought they
should he named after the councihnpn.
OF course this plan met With favor, but
was not discussed al length, as another
gentleman turned The subject into am
other channel-a way to secure the
names Of the streets. The best manner
of procuring these, according To one OF
the debaters, was TO have the city en-
gineer spend Il couple of days in pre-
pairing Il man Of the various streets
and avenues in the city and bring them
before the councihncn,
The the discussion brauchod off to a
fire hydrant, near Pigeons crossing, on

men in regard to the resolution recent
ly passed in select council to have the

The poor invaids who throwing away dollars pain

Even if there were but one such testimonial to the
remarkable Of women's diseases by "Favorite
Prescription, it would be encouragement to give
it trial. But the effected by this remarkable
medicine for legion in number and their
scope covers every form of wonany disease which
is curable by the use Of medicine. OF "Favorte
Prescription it be truthfully affirmed that it
always helps and almost always cures. Let any
suffering woman who reads these statements, ask
herself Is not such remedy worth a trial?
These three cures representative. Behind
them are half million other cures. The record
shows that ninety-eight in every hundred women
who have used Dr. Pierces medicines have been
perfectly and permanently cured. Only two women
in each hundred fail of complete cure. But even
these report great benefit and improved health.
Are you one of the ninety-eight who can be conf
pletely cured, Of the two who be greatly
helped but not entirely healed, A fair trial of

"A BREEZY TIME"

Fitz and Webster's "a Breezy Time
Company will be the attraction at the
Myar, Tuesdany and Wednesday. 1918.
The piece is farce comedy, the plot
of which is not SO intricate that it re-
quires any great mental activity to fol-
low it. 1t is put together simply for
the purpose of giving the comedians an
opportunity to exhibit themselves in
their various specially performances
The piece is separated into three acts.
and the author has worked on the prin-
ciple that action is the soul of farce,
and "A Breezy Time is all action.
The first scene in the comedy is laid
at a young students apartments in
Boston. who is being pursued by num-
erous creditors, who all have accounts
of long standing against him. and in
the midst of all this confusion. Daisy
his sweetheart, runs away from the
seminary and comes to his apartments
to tell him as they were going to be
married some day, she thought they
might as well get married right away,
but before all arrangements can be
made for the marriage, Uncle Reuben
Merrefield (who is the uncle of Daisy
and the unknown guardian of Jack
Dauber. the young studenD. appears
on the scene and is mistaken by Jack
for one of the creditors who is pursu-
ing him. Jack escapes as Uncle Reu-
hen enters and finds Daisy. who after
numerous explanations is taken back
to her uncle's farm in Vermont, while
Jack. who has assumed the disguise of
Weary Walker, tramp and a dago
organ grinder, wends his way to Uncle
Reubens farm, where he is unmarked
by his creditors. and as soon as all ex-
plantations can be made, Uncle Reuben

A SPARK MAY HAVE
CAUSED THE EXPLOSION.
Shelly Was Trying to Force a Stone
Down the Hole With a Stick.

An eye witness to the explosion a,
Courchesne's throws some light on the
probable cause of the disaster.
He said he went up to where Shelly
and the other men were at work to
take them a can of powder. He was
told that the powder was not needed
and squatted down on his launches a
few feet away to watch the others. A
stone had fallen into the hole and
Shelly was endeavoring to force the OBJ
tstruction downward by jabbing at it
with a stick. At that moment the
powder became ignited and the de-
struction was wraught. 1t is thought
probable that the piece of rock in the
hole might have caused a spark to fall
in the powder when it was struck
The Mexican who was sitting near
escaped unframed.
There are some persons who are of
the opinion that the explosion might
have been caused by spark from a
cigarette which one of the men might
have been smoking, as it is a well
known fact that men who handle pow
der become so accustomed to it that
they often smoke while at work and
are apparently utterly regardless of
danger.

| There are those who are in the habit
of saying that Ell Paso is the wickedest
city in the country. 1t is probable that
some staid Quakers would stand aghast
if told that Philadelphia could give
Ell Paso points and then win in a walk.
1t has recently come to light that. out
of 315 pupils in one of the public
schools, all of them under twelve years
of age, $50 were in the habit of playing
policy as a regular pastime, some on
their own account and some for rela-
tives and friends. The story comes
from the principal of the school. and
several keepers of policy shops are now
in Jail for selling tickets to the child
rem. We do not believe that Ell Paso
can match this. but we are open to con-
viction.
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1901-03-09

1t will be remembered that at the
time of the late disaster in which over
a hundred persons lost their lives on
the ill fated Rio Jareiro, Surfman Eli
son, who was on watch when the TRACE
dy occurred, confessed that he heard
signals of distress but disregarded
them The treasury department will
conduct a searching investigation into
the circumstances of the wreck and
the alleged inactivity of the life saving
corps, in order to place the blame
where it belongs. Superintendent Kim
ball, of the life saving service, takes
the dereliction of Ellison as a direct
affront to himself, and it is glad COM
mentary on the humanity and efficient
organization of the corps that this is,
without exception, the first time in the
history of the service that any life
saver has been accused of negligence of
duty. These brave men of the stormy
sea deserve to be enshrined in the
hearts of all true Americans as typical
of the best that is in the American
spirit Lowly in station, they are yet
great of soul, and great should be
their reward. "They ever did their
duty" What an inspiring epitaph is
their right when they pass into the
smooth harbor.

Out of the muck of Montana politics
comes an honest man to serve as Uni
ted States senator. Against Perry Glib

faint. He is an old man. but he will

experiment of young senators has sell

idea suggested by the very word. sen
