PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Some.three years ago, the question or
establishing Public Library in Mar
ietta was agitated and action was SO
far taken at that time as to secure a
Charter. There the matter was allow
ed to rest on account of certain large
fire, followed by the flood of the Spring
of 1898. The incorporators believe
that the time has arrived when the
matter should be pushed to completion,
and Library for the use of the citi-
zens in the Marietta School District
should be established on an enduring
basis. A meeting of the incorporators
was held on the evening of March 9Th.
when it was decided to push the matter
to completion. A board OF, trustees
was elected. and steps taken to raise
the money necessary to carry on the
work. These steps will consist in ask
ing the Board of Education to levy a
tax of not less than $40 of a mill or
not more than $40 of a mill, for the
maintenance of the Library, and asking
the citizens of Marietta to subscribe to
a fund for the purpose of establishing
the same. s
In order to permit of the levying of
the above mentioned tax, Library
must be established and in working
order before the Board of Education
makes the annual levy. Therefore the
citizens of Marietta will be called up
on and asked to subscribe to fund to
establish q Library. The Board OF
Trustees believe that the citizens of
Marietta, knowing the necessity and
good results of such an institution, will
literally support then in their under
taking. There are very few cities of
the size and prospects of Marietta,
which have not already established a
Public Library, and some cities of less
than half Mariettas population have
large and complete ones. In fact,
a Library should be part of the edu-
cational facilities of every town, and it
is to be hoped that Marietta will not
be behind her sister towns in this re-
respect very long.
Upon the completion of the new
High School Building, there will be
suitable quarters for reading room,
with the necessary tables, lights,
ETC., and shelving to accommodate
about thirty thousand volumes.
The Board of Education has encour-
| aged the Library Association to hope
that they can secure the use of these
rooms in conjunction with the School
Library, to the advantage of both.
These rooms should and probably will
be completed about the first of July, at
Which time they can be occupied, and
Library opened up, of which the cit
| liens of Marietta can be proud. In the
meantime temporary quarters have
been secured in the rooms of the Sup
erintendent of Schools at the st. Clair
Building, where as soon as the neces-
sary books can be procured, the public
will be accommodated with books free
of charge
Ali citizens and societies are cordial
ly invited to cooperate with the Board
of Trustees in furtherance of this en-
terprise.

Human interest is the keynote of
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. Its
stories and articles follow as closely AZ
NAV be the lines of genuine human ex-
perience. It's editors do not reject TO-
nance; indeed, they seize upon a good
story whenever they find it; but they
try TO give the magazine as whole the
flavor of reality. The reader feels in
stinctivelv that most of the stories are
transcripts from life not the common
place existence too familiar to most of
us, but the life of energy and expert
ence. Take for example the January
number. It opens with a singularly
dramatic article, "The Reign of Soapy
Smith, the notorious boss of Skaguay.
The article is descriptive of occurrences
incredible almost, yet actual, written
by man who took prominent part in
the long fight against Smith and his
ring. The story is more than the ex-
trsordinary history of bad man. 1t
perfectly illustrates the development of
city bossism, reduced to it's simplest
terms in the primitive civilization of a
mushroom town.

John Hamlet and Ned O'Brien, both
old employees of the Pennsylvania rail
road company, we're released from theiI
positions Monday and placed on the life
pension list of the company's employees.
Mr.. Hamlet has worked for the CON-
psny since 1858. having been section
boss for about thirty years, and later
taking charge of the pumping station,
which place was made vacant by the
sickness and death of the late James
Murphy.
Mr.. Hamlet has lived in this city the
greater part of his life and has host
of friends. He has been faithful en-
ploye of the company and well deserves
the pension be Will receive. Mr.. Ham
let will take life easy the remainder of
his days, having saved enough to keep
him for life.
Mr. O'BrIen has been in the employ
of the company for forty-fve years,
having been fagmsn at the crossing for
about twenty five years. During the
entire forty-five years that Mr.. O'Brien
has been in the employ of the comps-
ny he has not had an error or complaint
registered against him. Probably no
faithful servant than Uncle Ned
During the twenty-five wears in which
be has been ilagman at the Center street
crossing be has not missed day, and
not train or vehicle passed the cross
ing that L ncle Ned was not there to
insure their safety. Hardly person
living southwest of the city that does
not know him, and will be sorry that be
is no longer their Waterman.
Mr.. O'Brien is seventy-three years
of age and too old to fill q position of
responsibility like the one ne holds He
will retire from work with clean page
and knowing he has done his duty.
John Barr, of this city, who has been
on the section here for several years
will take the place vacated by Mr..
O'Brien.
The Pennsylvania company is re-
leasing all their men who are too old to
serve and placing them on the pension
list giving them pension according to
their circumstances and the numbe of
years they have served. We under
stand that Mr.. Hamlet and Mr. 0'Brien
will receive $50 per month. Both have
the best wishes of all for happy and
prosperous New Year.

Fake Printing Bids.

There is not much question but that
the figures at which the Burford print
ing house took the county printing in
Whitley county are too low for any
profit to be made, and 1t is indeed
doubtful if the supplies can be furn-
lshed without considerable loss. In
another county the firm of Levy Bros.
of Indianapolis, bid in the work and
among other things they offered to fur
nish and print 1000 postal cards for
S26.Ol. They pay $50 for the cards to
start with and then print several forms
of them for cent. The same firm
took the contract to furnish 500 blank
school fund mortgages for one cent.
This blank is a full sheet of fiatcap,
with four forms and involves large
amount of work
There is just one word that applies to
that kind or bidding, and that is the
word flake" Whenever a man DELHI
erately offers to supply county with
blanks for less than cost, he engages i'm
an illegitimate business and one that
will ruin him if he persists in it.
Every county in the state can afford
to pay what blank books and blanks are
worth, but many of them pay more
than they are worth to make up for
losses in such cases as those cited above
where the bidding is on the fake order
Every man in business ought to have
a profit on all that he sells and so should

conduct business upon business princi-
pals or they must certainly fail. Where
the big firms can agree not to compete
with each other, they get good prices
