Gasoline Variety shows That
They Are of Little
Use.

Members of the board of public works
yesterday concluded a trip over the city
1nquiring into some Of the complaints
made regarding the poor condition of the
plain gasoline street lights. The board
was not very favorably impressed with
what it saw and SO informed the con-
tractors.
The lamps, according to the commits
sioners, are either supplied with poor
burners or they are not properly attend
ed to. They realize the contractors have
a task on their hands in entering a field
with which they are not acquainted. but
they have Informed them that there must
be betterment or heavy deduction will
be made when the bills are presented for
payment
The board is of the opinion that all
plain lights should be discarded and the
neandescent variety installed and to that
end have asked that the council take
immediate action on the lighting speci-
hcatons now in it's hands and which are
awaiting approval preparatory to calling
for bids
The plain gasoline lighting contract is
held by the Cleveland Vapor Lighting
company and its representatives saw tbe
principal trouble is due to persons break

on Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock
it seems that this unfriedly feeling was

Brown was walking along the streets
when his cousin approached and landed
him one which sent him sprawling on
the sidewalk. He went to Justice Bar
rett's Office and found that he had gone
home. He then went to the residence
and Justice Barrett made out the war
rant for the arrest of B. p. Brown,
charged with assault and battery. He
came back to the office intending to
give the warrant to Constable Gildea
for service, but instead he found the
young man and placed him under ar
rest. The trial came off about o'clock
and the defendant was found guilty
and was fined So and costs. These

and went to his home in Jackson town.

II o'clock. On the way in he met his
cousin and a friend going out to the
home in jackson township. From the
story Of Franklin Brown it seems that
Brown jumped out of the buggy and
grabbed the horse by the bride and
started back toward the buggy. 1t
is said he tore the side curtain from
the carriage and was ready to jump in
to the carriage when Franklin pulled
a revolver and shot his cousin in the
right shoulder. He then drove into
town and to the residence of Justice
Barrett and there told the story, as
given above. AS yet no arrests have
been made. The result OF the shooting
is not known, but 1t Is said that the
young man is not seriously injured.

ply, pastor of Grace Lutheran church
and one of the prominent Lutheran di-
vines of the west, vigorously assaiied
the popular church music of the day in
a lecture at his church last Sunday
evening. He scored the hymn writers
who write for cash and not from in
spiration, and said the preacher who
stands between paid choir and con-
gregation singing cheap, trashy, pente-
costal hymns stands between the devil
and the deep sea. He put these
popular songs in the two step. rag time
class and called the poetry in them
little better than doggerel. 1T is a
shame" he said, for man to try to
worship by singing oh, How Love Je-
|sus,' Hold the Fort, for Am Coming,
Christ Receiveth Sinful Man. and even
Nearer, My God, to Thee has little of
the elements of classical music" He
asked that the churches return to the
singing of the inspired hymns of Lu-
Their and Watts and Wesley. Rev. Muir
ply created something of sensation
recently by declaring the negro is
doomed to determination in this coun-
try, because of his degradation and
lapse into barbarism.

it would be a long contest, and would
