CLUB Meeting
viii Hold Mass Meeting at
Court House Next Week.

The Commercial club held q busy
session In their quarters In the Rat
olitf building Friday night. The COM
miittee on highways reported that
the building Of bridge across Bull
creek was all the work done along
this line since thelast meeting. They
reported the necessity Of making
numerous Improvements, such as the
construction OF bridge across Little
Cabin.
A committee composed OF Ed Shan
ahan, r. T. WINNER, ]. A. Chandler
and E. b. Frayser wese ordered TO look
after the construction of this bridge.
Improvements on the spencer bridge
south of town vera ordered made.
Nails are to be furnished farmers
who will nail the boards TO the cul-
verts recently built near the Tom
Donnelly place west Of town
The question Of having some OF the
ladies Of the churches serve the club
members six O'Clock dinner on Fri
day evenings was discussed but no ac-
tion taken.
The public school was one the most
important subjects discussed by the
club. Prof. Ford, principal OF the
public school, addressed the club on
the subject saying the capacity Of the
school was filled TO its utmost. lie
also mentioned the number OF pupils
he had had to turn away from school
on account Of their living just outside
the city limits. The school law as II
now stands, prohibits such children
from attending our public schools |
The law providing that no pupil can
attend the school unless they have
lived In the city sixty days was de-
nounced by the club, and the school
board will be asked to repudiate this
law.
The club had distinguished visitor,
Miss Nay lor, OF the Valley Weekly,
who had very plausible advertising
proposition TO make to the club.
Her offer was that IL the csiib would
use its enfiuence In assisting her 10
secure seyenty-iiye subscribers at slO0
per year, She would give the city a
two page write-up in this eastern
magazine, which has circulation OF
1900, using whatever Illustrations
the club NAV desire. Being hand
some youn. lady she had no trouble
whatever IN persuading the club 70
accept the proposition.
The question OF drilling for oil was
set aside, awaiting the developments
Of the Downingville OH and Gas Co.
Lon Connor presented a proposition,
through Mr. Wilder, whereby he
would take he valuation Of lot on

Great passions will ever carry 1t over

Of the chief scene of LA Malade lima

room, In the Office Of the administra-

the theater 20 which the public has no
access, there Is a prodigious mass Of
full length portraits. of medallions. of
genre pictures, Of engravings. draw

These, with the works exhibited in the
public rooms. form a unique collection
whereof every piece belongs in some
sort to the history Of the house of Mo-

In its way as the museum Of painting
