Don't Talk to aotormen.

Persons who rode on the, Traction Giompany oarS y,sstedrday noticed front and rear end of the car which read Don't talk to the Mortorman. The Conductor will give any informa- tion desired"
 The sign attracted attention both for its uniqueness and for the wisdom contained in the words.
 Many accidents" said one passen- ger, have resulted from careless at- tention that motormen give the con- trollers before them and anything to keep attention strictly to them will be factor in decreasing the number of accidents. Motormen cant talk and attend to their business at the same time and I am glad to see that the Traction Companys management has been wise enough to help the general safeguard"

Not many, If any, seem to favor buying

Of Dodge City owning and operating Its

course the matter would huve to be de-

Mr., Gluck has advocated the plan of
forming a new company to build and

Dodge City men to put In $1,000 each for

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Two Redpath Lyceum Attractions for
Seventy.fye Gents,

TWO Heupatn LYceum Attractions TOR
Seventy.fve Gents.
The last two numbers Of the Redpath
Lyceum entertainments will be given,
one on the coming Monday night, Feb.
ruary 18th, and the other on Wednesday
night Of Washngtou's birthday, Febru-
ary 22nd. Both of these are among the
very best attractions Of their class con.
trollad by this I'd lous bureau, and are
strictly first class in every particular.
Yhe number for the coming Monday
night Is "The Nelly Peck Saunders Con-
cert Company" given In place Of "Ths
Wunderle Trio" that failed to appear,
owing to loss Of messages between tile
bureau and the company. This is rated
as being one Of the most popular and
taking musical and entertainment COM
panies before the public, and priced a
third higher by the management than
the company not showing up. All four
artists are of recognized prominence and
ability, and their program covers such a
wide field Of instrumental and vocal
music and readings and impsrsonations
that no person Of intelligence and cuI-
ture can fail to be interested and enter
tanned. 1t has been decided to sell
tickets good for reserved seats to the two
attractions at Is cents, the customary
price for reserved seat to single one.
10 insure the company large hearing
in the Interests of future courses of Ly.

Ready For Library Building For
Dodge City.
he OFFERS THE TOWN $500.
Library Proposition Now In q
Shape For Some Definite
Action.

The library proposition has taken 9
more tangible form since last week
Andrew Carnegle's reply came molt
promptly than was expected aud 1t was
as favorable as 1t was prompt. He bal
made an exception Of Dodge City in biz
rule to build libraries only In towns Of
from 5000 inhabitants upward. His Offer
Is to furnish a $75OO building for a Car
negie library here. The offer means that
the money will be ready at any time the
people Of Dodge City prepare to accept
lii.
The matter Of whether or not we can
establish and maintain The library now
cOnfronts us and that matter Is now open
to discussion. Some Of our most sub
stantial citizens hold different Views Un
the proposition. The first question to
settle will bs Is it legally possible fer us
to make the necessary levy, and on this
there are conflicting views held. If it is
found to be possible then the question Of
'can we afford it, will be up to us.
The prospect Of new Carnegie libra
ry building and the government weather
bureau building in one year Is naturally
a pleasing one to everybody In Dodge
City. The two buildings would add
to The appearance Of the town. They
are improvements which we naturally de.
sire II we can get them.
The library proposition Is one on which
the tax payers will haye chance to vote
before 1t can be settled. The law re
qulres Inc city council, in case a petition
signed by fifty tex payers requests 1t, to
call an election to vote upon a levy to
establish a public library. lfthe election
Is carried by majority vote Of the quail.
fled electors then the law says the city
council shall make such levy each sue
ceediDg year
The club ladies Of the city are eSpecl-
ally earnest in their endeavor to estab-
llsh a library. The offer from Mr.. Car
negie to furnish the building Is very
encouraging to those who have been
working on the matter, as. they believe
that the rest Can be arranged.
Now that The Carnegie offer has been
made the question Of possible levy will
be looked up more carefully, and II the
matter Is to be carried further, the library
will come before the people
at the spring election.
The offer made by Mr.. Carnegie is
shown by bis letter to Judge Madison, of
which the following is a copy:
February lSt, 1905.
L. H. Madison,
Dodge City, Kansas.
Dear Sir, Responding to your com.
municaton on behalf of Dodge City
If the city agree by resolution Of Coun
ellis to maintain Free Public Library at
cost Of not less than Seven Hundred |
Fifty Dollars year, and provide a suit

There were several things to admire in
Bat Mssterson, and President Roosevelt
who has long had a social chat sort oi
acquaintance with him has admired some
of his qualities. 1t is reported that the
president requested that Bat be appointed
to the place which has been rendered
him by U. s. Marshal Henkel. 1t is al
together likely that Bat will have an easy
time IL he accepts the place, because
when it is known that he has gone on
duty the fellows in his domain will make
1t a point to be good and there will not
be much for Bat to do.
1t will surprise no one in Dodge City
to learn Of Bats appointment. 1t would
not have surprised his old acquaintances
here If he had shown up as congress-
man from some quarter of the United
States, or as a United States senator.
