WAS A BAD BOY.
But Has Turned Over a New Leaf
and Will Do Better Now.

A lad of twelve years named Ernie
Norton, living with his grandmother,
Mrs. Humphrey. at her home, No.52S
North ID street, was taken before the
mayor this morning on a charge OF
incorrigible conduct. He was sent
by the mayor to County Attorney
Dewitt and after examining into the
case this gentleman, upon receiving
the promise Of the lad for better con-
duct, decided to give the boy one
mort trial and sent him back home.
The boy has been very disobedient
and willfully bad for some time. He
refused to attend school or to do any
chores or anything about the house
excepting as pleased himself. This
morning he would not get up for
breakfast when called and then or.
dered the meal served to him in the
parlor. He struck his grandmother
when she requested him to do some
little chore, and then, when she went
to do 1t herself, he locked her out of
her own house. This was more than
the lady could stand, and she bundled
the boy of to the police court.

Y. M c. A. At BUXTON.
Consolidation Coal Co. to Erect Big
Brick Building.

Buxton, Nov. 23.-The Consolida-
tion Coal Company has made a mag
nificent gift to its people, the miners
in its employ. The company has
voted to erect a $20, 1000 three-story
brick structure, fifty-nine by one hum
dred and fourteen feet, as a X. M. G.
A. building. The deal was consum-
mated last evening in the institution
and organization Of the association
among the colored men Of the place.
The building will be the first Y. M. @.
A. structure of its kind in the world,
devoted to the uses and under the
management of colored men.
international Secretary G. c. Mich
ener, of New York City, of the Indus
trial Department, and J. q. Moreland,
of Washington, d. c., the Information
al Secretary for Colored Men, and
State Secretary w. A. Magea, of Des
Moines, were at the town of Buxton
several days to complete the arrange
ments between the Consolidation
Coal Company and to bring about a
more perfect organization of the Y.
M. G. A. This organization was TAX
en- up at special gathering Monday
night and rousing meeting was held
in the Baptist church. It was largely
attended by those interested and the
best of results came out of the eff
forts put forth by the leaders. The
organization was perfected with a
charter membership of ninety of the
people of Buxton and the following
are the first officers elected to have
management of the association:
r. H. Reeves, president.
w. H. London, vice president.
B. F. Tate, recording secretary.
Ed Mills, treasurer.
n A board of four trustees was chos-
en- to act in concert with the officers.
1t was decided to issue a call to
secretary to have permanent charge
of the work of the association, but it
has not yet been developed who will
fill the place.
The new building will stand little
to the west and south up the hill
from the company store. 1t is to be
three-story structure and with all
the conveniences that a thoroughly
up-to-date building is supposed to
carry. The first floor will be devoted
to the association rooms proper, sec
retary's office, reading room, game
room. library, writing room, kitchen.
class rooms, gymnasium and large
bath department. The second floor
will contain large assembly hall
and such other rooms as may be
needed. The third floor will be de-
voted to lodge purposes and the
rents accruing from the use OF this
department will be used by the asso-
citation for the maintenance Of the
building. 49,
This magnificent gift is made by
the Consolidation Coal Company for
the use and the betterment of its en-
ployes. 1t is most generous act on
the part of the company, but at the
same time it is good investment on
their part. 1t is bread cast upon the
waters.
The ground for the building is now
being prepared for the foundation
and the work will be pushed as rap
idly as possible. The building will
be completed and ready for occupan-
cy some time next season.
