the meeting Monday night was so
unanimous that there will probably be
no effort made again to get another Pc
tit'on before the council. Mr.. kreutzef,
/ who is serving his third term on the

/ time to call d halt. Mr.. lngledue,
whose first official act upon taking ms
seat on the council was to introduce a
saloon petition, said Monday night that
he would never vote to allow another
one to open. He was new in the Dusl-
ness then, but he knows better now.

Councilman Ingledue brought to the
attention of the council this week In
an informal way. matter that ma!
bear investigating. Mr.. Ingledue looks
at the city's business the way he would
hi hat
the council would permit his own pri-
vate business to be run in the manner
tnat certain portions OF the city's at
fairs are conducted. He referred more
particularly to the buying, and stated
that it was done recklessly. Mr.. Ingle-
due wants more system In buying, and
have it in charge of some one com
mittee. He does not like the idea
OF indiscriniinate purchases on the part
OF employees of the different depart
ments. He thinks that the wants OF
the different departments may be large
ly anticipated, buying done in larger
quantities, and discounts secured fol
cash. In other words Mr.. Ingledue is
of the opinion that important reforms
should be inaugurated.
Oskaloosa has rest room. What 1t
accomplshes is set forth in the fol-
lowing from the Herald Of that city:
The popularity Of this beneficen:
institution is shown by the fact thai
during the month of August $50 ladies
from out of the city were registered
at the ladies rest room The chill
dren were not counted. On the 29th
Of August 90 ladies from out of tow
placed their names In the guest book"
Who's next:" Hymen cries. There
are but few of the city's confirmed
bachelors left unwooed but only Cupid
knows the plans for the future. Some
rather startling experience in the past
has caused the newspaper man to quit
guessing altogether.
