Suggestion to City Father

Tomorrow evening (Monday) the
City Trustees meet Their attention
is called to several matters that need
their attention. First, the sidewalks.
In many places in town the walks
have become q dangerous and insight
" nuisance Boards have become rot
ten and giving away. This renders
dangerous the process of walking ov
er them and gives the town anything
but tidy appearance. The trustees
should see that this matter is remedi-
ed. Notice should be served on the
property holders and if they fail to
fix the walks let the city do it and
tax the parties. If the property is
worth holding it is worth keeping in
walk over it.
Another nuisance that every citizen
has to pu; up with is the burning OF
leaves and rubbish on the streets,
This happers about twice year and
for time the town is in the throes OF
the smoke nuisance that would put
Pittsburg to shame. All of this can
be avoided by the citizens having the
trash hauled from their premises.
Carson has a situation tina. permits
of clean streets and easily kept side
walks and when the town is dirty and
the walks in a bad condition it is
time for the city dads to go to work
that is what they are there for. Many
strangers have visited this city of late
and there seems to be every indication
that more will come during the sum
mer. II the town is clean it will make
an impression that is favorable to thu
town, and is more likely to induce mel
to come to this city as a home place
than if the town and streets are lit
tered with rubbish and smoke hous'
is conducted on every corner.

Sailors Curious Pets.

1t has been said of the jackie sailor
boy that he Is so passionately fond OF
pets he must have something to love
if it is "only a cockroach in a 'baccy
box" This statement was founded on
fact, for one of the most remarkable
pets of an English ship was a mon.
strous cockroach. He was four inches
long and one inch broad.
One of the sailors had tanned him
and built for him a cage with a little
kennel in the corner of It. This insect
prodigy learned to recognize his mas
ter's voice, and when he heard him
call would hurry out from his kennel
In response.
Among other odd pets that have been
beloved by English sailors was a seal,
who had a tank residence on board
and daily round of pleasure and
duty; his pleasure seven meals day,
his duty a bath after each meal An
other was deer who would take a
quid Of tobacco with so much delight
that the fellow feeling aroused by his
appreciattys taste made HIN a general
f&vorita.

IN the city Finally the country was
overrun by the Momammedans and the
Ephesians were obliged to adopt the
faith of Mahomet or be put to death.
A few stood out, but the many yielded
before the sword, and Christianity was
extinguished. Desolation and misery
were its lot thereafter, and decay set
in and continued until Ephesus was no
more. Where it stood bats and owls,
snakes and lizards now hold sway. A
few heaps Of stones are all that re-
main Of the once proud metropolis
Even the sea has receded from the
scene of desolation, and in its place is a
pestilential morass covered with mud
and rushes, where once ships laden with
the merchandise of every country found
anchorage. The poison from this
swamp quickly prostrates anyone who
ventures near during six months Of the
year. Goats and cows thrive there, but
nothing else. Utter desolation marks
the ruins, and the visitor is glad to get
away after a brief inspection Of the
sunken city.

THE TEMPLE OF DIANA
ONE OF THE SEVEN WONDERS OF
THE ANClENTS.
This Colossal Structure Was Erected
at Ephesus, Asia Minor-Was 900
Years in Building, and Has Stood
for Several Centuries.

The Temple Of Diana at Ephesus was
one Of the seven wonders Of the an
clients. Ephesus was city Of Asia
Minor, thirty eight miles from Smyrna,
founded by Ephesus, son of Croesus,
and first peopled by Carians and Lei
eyes, islanders Of Asia Minor. 1t be-
came great, the trade emporium Of the
east, and was called the Eyes Of Asia"
The original object Of worship for it's
inhabitants was small statue Of Di-
ana, a beautiful goddess, made Of eb-
ony, and sculptured by Canaitias.
Diana, daughter Of Jupiter and La
tona, to whom many temples were ded-
icated, was a virgin dedicated to per-
petual celibacy. To avoid the society
Of men she devoted herself to the chase
and other sports, and she contrived to
have with her a number Of other vir-
gins who had also abjured marriage.
She wore a crescent on her head, car
ried a CULVER and was attended by dogs.
She was of the loftier style of feminine
beauty. Her limbs were barred, her
feet covered with buckskin as worn by
the huntresses Of the ancients, and her

Judge Edward F. Dunno, Of the
Criminal Court of Chicago, has recent
~ rendered a decision that is of inter
est to every business man in the coun-
try. It was the case of the State YER
sus William G. West, an employe Of
one of the great packing houses, who
was charged by that company with
enlightenment. West, young married
man about 80 years Of age, who was
living with and supporting a wife and
two children, had charge Of a meat
car for the firm, and each week loaded
the car in Chicago and then took 1t to
Aurora, making six or eight stops at
small towns along the way to make
deliveries to small dealers. West col
lected the money for all his deliveries
and twice q week made a written re-
port and turned in his money, amount
ing sometimes to as high as $4,000.
For doing all this work, and occupying
position Of trust in which thousands
of dollars passed through his hands he
was paid SIS per week. The company
that employed him pushed the prose
cutiOn and wanted him sent to the
penitentiary, but Judge Dunno found
him guilty of embezzling but SIS, thus
saving him from the penitentiary, and
sentenced him to serve thirty days in
jail. In rendering his decision Judge
Dunno told the employers Of West that
when they asked a man to take such a
responsible position at such a small
salary and where he is called on in the
performance of his duty to collect such
large amounts of money, knowing that
he has wife and two children to care
for, you are simply inviting him to
commit q crime, or at least exposing
him to temptation, and it is wrong"
The judge said he believed West, the
prisoner, to be good man, and that
had his salary been even as much as
So more per week he would never have
been exposed to temptation. eff he
had been paid $50 a week as he should
have been paid, he would have had
5000 in the bank instead of being here
convicted Of embezzlement." The de-
c1sion of Judge Dunno is we'll worth
serious consideration by all who give
employment to others.
