The Ideal Street Sign.

The difficulty of providing a clear street
sign which will answer the needs Of both
car passengers and pedestrians has been
neatly overcome by John A. Sleicher, the
editor of our esteemed contemporary,
Leslie's Weekly, No. ITO Fifth avenue,
New York city. In addition to the usual
horizontal sign which designates a street.
Mr. Sleicher's lamp post bears vertical
sign designating the street of avenue in
tersected. A passenger in a car can see
at glance that the avenue along which
he is travelling is. for example, Broad
way, and that the street which he has
just passed is Franklin street, the first
legend extending horizontally and the
second vertically. The pedestrian finds
similarity that the street along which
he is walking is Franklin street and that
the avenue which he is about to cross is
Broadway. He need not walk around
the lamppost to ascertain the name of
the avenue. Mr.. Sleicher's lamp post is
now under consideration by the NUM-
cipal Art society Of New York, and will
doubtless meet with the approval of that
organization. - Scientific American.

Anaconda, July 25.-The next meeting
Of the city council promises to be one of
the most important held since Mayor
Stephens administration began, a few
months ago.
I Several matters of interest are to be
brought up for consideration, among
them an ordinance to prevent the estab-
lishment or conduct of saloons within
certain distance of public or parochiat
schools.
! 'It has come to my knowledge" said
one Of the aldermen today, that parties
have been making an effort to get con-
troll Of certain property near some or
the school buildings in the eastern part
of the city for saloon purposes.
:. "a large number Of citizens have come
to me and made complaint that such
was the case and 1mplOred that the
council take measures of relief.
II have assured them that the matter
would be brought up in the proper form
and given consideration at the next
meeting.
ut strikes me that there are suffi-
cient places available for saloon pur-
poses in Anaconda without going within
the shadow of our school buildings.
Nothing could be more demoralizing to
the youth than to be compelled to pass

II do not believe a saloon should be
allowed to run within block or two of
any school building in this city, and
while the situation is threatening I
think it is time that proper action is
taken by the members of the city coun-
Gil.
II am confident the general public
would heartily approve the placing of re-
strictions on these threatening evils"
Alderman Dennis O'Leary will bring

Anaconda, July 25.-Within the next
few days there will be a great exodus Of
pleasure seekers out of town who will
distribute themselves about the various
rivers and lakes in proximity to Anacon-

Several parties have been made up to
go to Rock Creek.
Bob Greig has his outfit ready and

and few friends, will make up another
party. Ben Mahan Is also going with

A number of persons are going over

BULLETS FOR THE BURGLARS
Residents of Anaconda Preparing to
Defend Their Lives and
Property.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, July 25.-The recent cpl
dcmic of midnight burglaries in Ana
ecnda is causing uneasiness among res
idents of the city. Burglar proof locks
by the dozen are being sold every day
and it will be only short time until all
the business houses will have bolts
which will SUCCESSFULLY resist all at
tempts at opening with skeleton keys.
However, good strong locks are not
the only remedy for burglaries, and in
view of this fact men who have never
before had a revolver in the house and
who have up to the present time merely
humored their neighbors who owned
bothersome dogs, are getting both-and
the best of the kind.
It is safe to say. If popular feeling is
any indication, that If there are many
more robberias the thieves will meet
with stupendous surprises from the
most unexpected quarters.
The two men who entered Collins
wholesale liquor establishment Monday
right were probably as much surprised
as any two burglars care to be. The
man who sleeps in the store awakened
in the night and being thirsty went to
the cellar to obtain water. AS he was
coming back he heard the men coming.

They saw him and fed before he could
shoot.

the solution of the problem depended en-
tirely on Ashmun. Being nervy, and
also an athletic young man, he loaded
the harness and the woman into the
buggy, placed himself between the
shafts and started for town.
The road being all down hill, matters
progressed nicely until the young man
discovered by looking at his watch that
if he kept. up his speed he was due to
arrive in the city before dark That
would never do, SO a delay was insti-
tuted.
While sitting in the shade Of weeping
willows the young woman suggested
borrowing horse from neighboring
rancher. The young man acted upon
this suggestion and everything worked
nicely. When he arrived in town he
found his horse safe in the barn.

A letter from Manila places the
amount Of United States money sent
to the islands for the pay of soldiers
since the American occupation at $3.50,
100000. Much of 1t has come back
TO the States again, but much remains
there, and thus by so much the treas
ury overestimates the amount of mon
ey in circulation here at home and the
increase In recent years. Since the
army of Philippine occupation has
been cut down, the flow of American
money thither is falling off to a notice
able extent, and affecting business
there adversely.
