CAN LIBRARY GET FUNDS
City Attorney to Say Whether Council
Can Make Appropriation.

The question of appropriating funds
from the contingent fund of the city for
the use of the free public library has
been referred TO the City Attorney for
his opinion on the legality of the pro-
ceeding,
The matter came up through a reso-
luton, introduced by Councilman
Ferry, that $1,000 be appropriated for
the use OF the Library board. The board
has notified the Council that 1t has not
sufficient funds to pay tho running ex-
penses of the library.
The law provides that one-third of
one mill shall be set aside for the main
tenance of the library, and rs tins has
been collected in full, there is some
question as TO whether any more money
can be appropriated for the library
fund. The Library board is very much
in need of moro money, and the mem
bers Of the Council feel that, if possible,
it should be provided If it can be done

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
HOLD Anniversary
Rocky Mountain Lodge Cele
brateS Jubilee at Castle
Hall.

More than 600 knights Of Pythias
and their wives assembled at Castle hall
Thursday night and celebrated the
twenty fifth anniversary of the institu-
ton of Rocky Mountain lodge No. 8,
with appropriate exercises. The hall
had been beautifully decorated for the
occasion, and Immediately upon the ar
rival of the knights and their ladies
they were seated about four long tables
which extended throughout the entire
length of the room. About $3.50 clock
the banquet, an elaborate affair, began.
1t was followed by an unusually meri-
torlous programme.
There were several interesting and
able addresses by prominent knights,
who reviewed The history of the order
and made predictions as to its future.
They recounted the deeds not only of
the hero from whom the order receives
its name, but told of deeds of modern
knights who, by their conduct, are Civ
ing evidence of the teachings of the
lodge.
One of the speakers, A, j. Weber,
spoke on the subject of " Benevolence. -
In introducing him. Thomas HOLIDAY,
the toastmaster, remarked that the sub
iect was particularly appropriate, as
Mr.. Weber possessed an abundance of
benevolencc which he would use during
and long after the coming political cam
paign Mr. Weber's discourse was elo-
qucnt and logical and sparkled with
humorous anecdote.
The other speakers and the subjects
of their addresses were: j Il. Wiscomb,

The knights. however, did not limit
themselves entirely TO the consideration
of these weighty matters, for an i'm

programme consisted Of musical selec
