REPAIRS
Extensive Improvements Re-
commended
That Will Make II More
Beautiful and Useful

Messrs Reed and Carnahan, a
members Of the capitol building com
mittee, recommended a few change
in the ARRANGEMENT OF the building.
The general condition Of the build
ing is excellent, but the second floor
which receives the hardest usage oI
any, Is in very poor condition. The
linoleum which covers IL is badly
worn. and should be replaced. A floor
of tillng or tessarae would possess
this requisite, and add to the beauty
OF the interior
The ceiling Of the dome and wood
work Of the third floor need painting,
the walls being badly marked and dis.
figured, The arrangement Of this
floor should be changed More room
is required for the use Of the Justices
OF the supreme court and the attor.
ney-general OF the state.
Another room is needed for the rec
ords Of The clerk Of the court BY di.
viding up the wing that was formerly
occupied by the state library the nee.
essary rooms could be provided for
the Justices OF the court and the attor.
ney-general. and the ones now used
by them could be used for legislative
purposes.
A modern elevator should also be
installed The estimates for these
would be:
For tesseraic tillng on second floor
1900.
For painting wood work on dome
md third floor, $500
Rearranging third floor wall deco. |

No change Is suggested for the

than the workingman? If some bank.
er leaves his offce and seeks the gam
ing table, is that an argument that he
should be forced 10 remain at his office
until time to go home and then put
under some restraint until bed time
In other words, is work a penalty
and punishment or It Is a blessing
and an honor?
II the workingman has the same
wages as the banker would he not
spend his spare time or idle hours in
innocent recreation? Isn't IL a fact
that the system OF labor which com.
pels a man to work ten or twelve hours
a day leaves no time for moral and in

VENEZUELAN NOTES.

President Castro cabled Mr.. Bowen
his gratitude upon his successful con
duct Of the negotiations
The text Of the protocols have been
made public. They provide for the
immediate payment in cash OF e550O.
Germany is to receive $4,000 in FIVE
months installments. while Great
Britain and Italy are to receive in ad-
dition s275O0. The other claims are
TO be settled by mixed commission of
one Venezuelan and one representative
of the claimant nation, and in case of
disagreement the third is to be named
by the president Of the United States.
It is believed that the termination Of
the blockade will be che death blow to
the revolution.
Official notice has been received Of
the termination OF the blockade.
Carnegie telegraphed Mr. Bowen.
upon learning Of Germany's demand
for $4,000, Offering the necessary
amount to meet the demand.
The English are very much dissatis-
fed at Germany's receiving $4,000
from Venezuela. They recognize that
the British foreign Office has been
made the laughing stock of the world.
Premier Balfour in a speech at Liv-
erpool justified Great Britaln's action
against Venezuela. and said the Unit.
ed States had been taken into the con.
iiuence o his majesty's government at
every stage Of the proceedings.

is DANCING HARMFUL.


The question has been asked the
World. and this Is It's answer:
Dancing. in itself. is not harmful.
II is not immoral. II not carried TO
excess It is healthful exercise. Your
doctor and your minister will admit
the truth OF the above statement.
But
The harm OF dancing is largely an
III OF association. The girls who dance
are mostly OF an age when impulse
rules. rather than reason, and they
often meet men who are not flt COM
panlons. The result OF such associ-
alton. in some Instances. is a breaking
down OF the natural barriers that
should exist between a man of the
world" which Is the nice name for an
unprincipled scoundrel in good clothes.
and an innocent woman
The less you or any other girl have
70 do with such men the better They
have no right TO the society Of good
women: no right to smiles and pleas
ant conversation; no right to asso-
ciate with your mothers daughter.
Again there Is the matter Of oyerdo,
ing. and late hours,
II is jolly good fun to dance. II is
no wonder that the young folks. and
a good many OF the old ones find pleas
ure In H. II Is 80 enjoyable that one
wants 20 go again and again, and the
girl boasts that she went through
twenty-four number program and new
er missed a dance Sometimes she be-
comes overheated Her cheeks burn.
and she eats ices, swallows cold
drinks and let's breeze blow upon
her unprotected neck and head That
means excess and carelessness. Fur
ther down the line are pneumonia
and consumption. Before now girls
have died because they were careless.
Even a good thing is a wrong thing
when carried beyond the bounds OF
sense.
You can safely leave the matter to
the judgment OF your parents. They
know n great deal about the world.
They can see pit falls where, perhaps.
you can sec only lights. flowers and
hear music that sets your pulse a.
throbbing
A newspaper can not decide what is
right or wrong for you. It is so much
a matter OF environment, temperament
and bringing up. You see. there is
much to be said on both sides Of the
dancing question.
There are people who believe dane.
ing is sin. II they dance, 1t is siu fls
them, and they have weakened their
moral character by not being true 10
themselves. There are persons equal
ly good who dance and encourage their
children 10 dance.
II Is possible for both classes to be
right

They pleaded guilty.
David NJ, standing six feet and Ave

fined 500 and sent to prison for six
months. The youthful appearance OF
the other prisoner, who was not over

London, Feb 14.-Lieut. Boyd AL
eNander, who has just returned from
the Island OF Fernando Po, the Island
OF Spain in Blight Biafra. Western
Africa, gives an interesting descrip-
tion OF the curious inhabitants OF the
practically previously unexplored inte-
rior of the island
These are known as the Boobies. 4"
Few Of them have ever seen a white
man and they never leave the prim.
tive dwellings in the rocks except on
organized drinking bouts, and the race
is fast dying out from the effects Of
rum and palm wine
The natives are mostly naked ex-
cept for a curious star bonnet.
They paint their bodies with colored
mud and are unspealSably filthy. for
they never wash. but occasionally use
p hnife to scrape of the surface dirt
.--d create artificial deformities by
tightly wrapping their limbs.
The Fernando Po natives are ex-
ceedngly timid and when sighted by
tho whites they bolted into the depths
OF the jungle. where they set up fear
ful walls.
At certain hours each day the vii
lagos are deserted. every one, incud-
Ing the children, going of on a ca

The lieutenant adds that although
he searched for them diligently he
could find no traces of the burial pla.
