BLANKET ORDINANCE PASSED
mo SUNDAY CLOSING
Saloons Must Close at MidniQht and
all Gambling Must Cease
Other Sections.

The regular session OF council last
night was a quiet affair. OF the seven
members only Councilmen Ayres, Lig.
gett, Shaw and Wyman were present.
The most important matter considered
was the passage of the blanket ordinance
of sixty some sections. This ordinance
was up once before, but was held over
until last night. 1t deals with the gen.
eral government of the city and contains
all the laws that used to be on the stat
utes but unheard Of. The most impor-
tant sections, being new laws, were
those against gambling and providing
for the closing of saloons from u, mid
night, until 6 a. m. The Sunday closing
section was eliminated because it was
deemed to be against the business inter-
ests Of the city. The ordinance makes
it unlawful to keep a house of i'll fame,
or to rent property to persons keeping
such places. 1t is also unlawful to keep
'red lights or red signs" in such or
other places. 1t is unlawful to keep a
slot machine, and also misdemeanor
for hotel rustlers to ply their trade too
boisterously about the passenger station.
There are a number of other good Sec
tions to the ordinance, among them be-
ing the one providing for people to keep
their back alleys clean. The act passed
without dissenting vote.
An ordinance was passed granting a
franchise to the Cascade Lumber COM
pany to build a side track down II street
to their mill at the foot of the spillway
of the power plant waste ditch.
A saloon license was granted Thomas
Lund for his new building on lot 80,
block IL, Front street.
A resolution was passed to build a 10
inch sewer up Seventh street from Beech
to b, and up d to the alley between
First and Second streets.
A resolution declaring for sewer on
Selah street between Yakima avenue
and A street was passed.
Marshal Grant asked for four small
electric lights to be placed, two in each
block, in the alley paralleling Yakima
avenue from Front to Third streets.
The object of these lights is to make it
easier to keep track of and run down
criminals after night. The matter was
referred to police committee.

A gang of youthful fruit thieves are
committing serious depredations in the

steal and destroy the half-ripe fruit but

treeswere injured beyond all recovery. 1t

the Republic has been able to ascertain there
has been plenty OF water in the ditch for every

above referred to was never printed in
the HERALD, nor any other statement
intimating that there was shortage of

appear that Col Robertson were irving
to make capital for himself at the ex-
pense OF this journal.

THAT CHAPTER.

A chapter on SCOTS Emul-
sion often holds a prominent
position in the histories of
weak children.
The gist of that chapter
usually reads like this" child
weak, pale, thin, no appetite,
fretful, weakness left over from
grippe or other disease. Be
gan small doses SCOTS Emul-
sion three times a day after
meals. No apparent change
first week. Then appetite
improved, then strength in
creased, then child more lively,
slept better, a decided gain in
weight, better color in the face"
And so it goes till the child
is reported well and strong.
Sounds simple enough and
it is simple-Scott's Emulsion
is Just what the weak child
needs.

So vigorous a protest has been rails
ed by residents over the practice of
spectators of buying worn and
weather-beaten framehouses in the
business district and removing them
to residence localities where they
are repaired and reiuvenated that
the city council will be urged to
adopt an ordinance limiting the prac-
tice. Ii is argued that the practice
has Il tendency to detract from the
value and desirability of adjoining
property, and property-owners in
sist they should have something to
say in the matter. The plan sug-
gested is to compel people who de
sire to effect such removal to Sc
cure not only the consent of two
thirds of the property-owners in the
block in which the undesirable build
ing is to be located but the consent
of two-thirds of the members of the

well known musician of this city, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore

groom is Edward ". Erb, young

since going west to visit a sister who
lives in Seattle. The ceremony took

The effect of amateur attempts at
hypnotic performances caused Il con-
siderable excitement and alarm i'm Il
private boarding house in Davenport
the other day. Evidently inspired by
the recent visit of Prof. Flint and his
wife. the premier hypnotists. the
young people at the boarding house
mentioned above decided upon n hyp-
motto entertainments as means of
passing an evening. \ Young man
volunteered to take the part of the
hypnotist and tall. dark-eyed young
lady was chosen as the subject. But
the hypnotist was evidently more
skilled than he knew. The young la
dy promptly went to sleep and the
combined efforts of the assemblage
could not wake her up. The fright
end young people sent post haste for
a physician and the latter worked
some time with the young lady before
he could bring her to consciousness.
That happened several days ago and
yesterday the young lady was report
ed to still be feeling the effects of her
experience. The physician, who is
matter of fact enough to spoil a
good story. says the young lady was
not hypnotized. but simply suffering
from form of hysteria brought on
by the efforts of the young gentle
men boarders to hypnotic her.
