Now that the I 800 mark has been
reached in the Y. NJ G.. A. here,
there have been few inquiries as to
the reason why the bowling alley has
not been established, as promised by
the management when the 800 club
was organized. Secretary A. B. Rich
ardson explains that since the 1,500
members have been secured, he has
made an investigation of the PROPOSE
ton to establish a bowling alley, and
finds that there is so little demand for
il that he has decided not to estab~
lish it. Instead of this, the associa-
tion has put in nearly $1,000 worth
OF improvements on the interior of the
building recently, remodelling the
bath rooms, putting in barbershop
and improving the gymnasium, etc

The BeaIS &
Torrey Shoe Co..

Saturday morning the writer visited
the Beals & Torrey Shoe Co.'S. factory
and was surprised at the amount of
work performed and the exceeding
cleanness of the factory in each and
every department. The factory is
located at the corner Of Milwaukee and
Water streets, is built of white brick
and three stories above the basement
and is an imposing structure and a
credit to both the company and the city
The local officers of the company are ]:
Superintende E. II. Baker; Asst.
Supt, Fred W. Pfeffer; book-keeper,
Miss Myrtle Goeldner
Foremen Of the several departsments,
G. NJ. Van Orden, H. l.. Nelson, Ru-
dolph Kuehn, Henry Devine and Arthur
Foster.
At the present time over one hundred
and twenty five hands are employed in
the factory, and foot wear for men,
women, youths and children are manu-
featured, there being several grades of
each, running from the common up to
the very finest shoes being made, such
as any lady or gentleman could wear
with the satisfaction of knowing that
they were we'll shod. The daily output
is 800 pairs each working day, each
pair passing through the several
departments and finally and lastly to
the polishing department, under Fore
man Devine, where they are finished
for the trade.
The machinery in use is of the latest,
and is marvel of the ingenuity Of
man, and many OF the machines work
as if possessed Of Intelligence, which
one can watch with interest by the
hour.
The wages paid monthly amounts to
a large sum and is a great help to the
city in furnishing employment for
many people at good wages which are
promptly paid.
The general office and salesroom is
in Mi Milwaukee, no sales being made at
the factory, but orders may be filled
from here.

Costs less to live.

Someone who has been collecting
statistics has discovered that the suf-
fering people of the United States have
cut down their doctor bills during the
last year to the extent Of ten million
dollars. Whether this is an indica-
tion that the people are becoming
more healthy or that they are becom-
ing more sensible in the callilg of
medical assistance, or that the doctors
have become more reasonable in their
charges, or that the doctors succeed in
killing their patients quicker and thus
diminish the expense, is not set forth
in the report. It is very likely, how
ever, that the cutting down in this
branch Of family expense is largely
due to the fact that people are observ-
ing the natural laws of health and
are not needing the assistance of drugs
as they thought they did few years
ago.

Burglar Proof.

j. A. Hasty, the representative OF
the American Bank Protection Co. OF
Minneapolis, was III the city Saturday
and in the afternoon demonstrated to
large number Of our business men
that it would be impossible to burg ar
ize the Merchants Bank, which has had
installed in it's Vault one of the burgla lar
alarms manufactured by his company.
1t makes no difference from what quar-
tel the vault is attacked, from beneath.
sides or top, the alarm is sounded.
even if the knob of the door is turned,
the shields touched, or the electric
wires leading into the vault interfered
with, the alarm is instantly given. In
fact; it is impossible to enter the vault
after it has been locked and the alarm
set without awaking those in the vi
cinity of the bank aud the alarm will
sound until the switch within the vault
has been turned back. 1t is d very in
genious machine and there is no dan
ger Of the bank ever being robbed.

The Site for a Library.

The question of site for the pub
lie library is being agitated and there
is difference of opinion As to which
site should be chosen-the Kennedy
site on the eastside, or the Randall site
on the westside. The library board
prefers the Kennedy and the common
council at special meeting held Fri
for the Randall location corner Of
Nor tn Water and Main streets. 1t is
matter in which every inllabitant in
the city is interested and there should
be full discussion as to which is the
best, most central and available lOca-
ton. 1t is natural that individual in
terests will influence the individual
choice, but such interests should be
made secondary to the public good in
the final determination of the matter.
The Library Board is composed of
uioh VI SOou JuuS LuOuu, VIII dl 2 luUol- =
ested in the betterment Of the city.
They prefer the Kennedy site. The
aldermen are also men of good judg-
ment and have the best interests of
the city at heart. The question will
probably be decided at the regular
meeting of The common council on the
evening of the 18th. inst. when an
appropriation will be made to purchase
a site, or an appropriation may be re-
fused which would be an unfortunate
termination of the matter.

We are informed, that the trees on
the beautiful grounds where the exer-
cises of the Ev. Luth. Home for the
Feeble Minded were held Sunday, are
to be cut down and the land plated in

land should be purchased by the city
and converted into a park. There are
only two small parks in the city,
which are all out of proportion to its
population and prospective growth. 1t
is a matter that should receive the at
tention of the mayor and common
