WERE SOLICITED TO AID IN
HAVING NATIONAL THE
ATER BUILT.
AN AGENT OF MAURICE GRAU
Visited Richmond in An Effort To
Get signers For Project
Also Sold Books.

Several Richmond people who are
high In musical circles, were visited
last week by a woman who represent
ed herself as an agent of the we'll
known opera promoter, Maurice
Grau, and with the object of getting
Richmond people to sign their names
to a petition which will be presented
to Congress, asking that national
theater, on the plan of similar insti-
tutiort in foreign countries, be sub
sidized by the government and made
permanent institution. ....
The woman called on a number of
Richmond people and showed names
in her book of prominent people who
favored such action by Congress.
Besides asking for signatures, a
book, containing so of the leading
grand operas, was offered for sale.
This book was compiled by Maurice
Grau and was a valuable one among
musicians. 1t is offered for $50, or
for $40, if the buyer signs the petit
ton.
1t is understood that while several
people signed the petition, no books
were sold in this city and a few
Richmond people who were visited,
were of the opinion that the woman
was not all that she represented her
self to be. .....-...- .~.

BOOK SELLERS ARE HAVING A
BIG SALE OF FANCY LOVE
TOKENS.
UNIQUE MODELS APPEARING
To Catch the Eyes of Children Who
Are the Best Patrons Flowers
Are Acceptable.

Cupid, with his hearts and flowers
will celebrate his annual holiday on
Wednesday, Velentine's Day, and the
usual number of fancy and plain,
comic and serious valentines are to
be had at the book-dealers.
Although to many it seems that in
terest in Velentine's Day dying out
sales of valentines are increasing
each year and new and unique mod
els are appearing to keep up the in
terest. Most of those fairy-like crea-
tions of five or ten years ago, with
tinsel, celluloid and little doves, are
passing away, but the new kinds,
more modern and more expressive of
modern ''love' are to be had.
1t is the young generation that
takes the most interest in St. Val
entine. Pennies, carefully boarded
since Christmas are expended with as
much care as if it was question of
| an investment in either bank stock
or government bonds. With close
calculation, few pennies go long
ways toward getting just what is
wanted, but look of awe generally
appears on the childish face when a
much coveted valentine, after being
priced, is found to be worth ,65 cents
or in that neighborhood.
Besides the children, however,
grown-ups often use the day as a
special one in which to send flowers
! and in most circles, it is considered
"quite the thing" to do this. Flowers
are always "nice" and are greeted
with an "Oh, how thoughtful" and
a little. extra sentiment, especially on
this day. Far from dying out, it
looks as. if the spirit of st. Valen-
tine will continue to be perpetuated
for years.

COMMITTEE TO
MEET THURSDAY
--- n
TO ARRANGE PLANS FOR EN-
LARGING FIRST ENGLISH
LUTHERAN CHURCH.
PLANS BEING CONSIDERED
Probable That the Present Sunday
School Room Will be Built
Out to Sidewalk.
PLANS BEING CONSIDERED

Thursday evening committee Sc
lected by the members of the First
English Lutheran church will meet to
arrange plans for the enlargement
Of the church. The west wing of the
church is at present used as Sun
day school room but it is now entire
ly too small to be used for such
purpose and the committee will try
to solve the ways and means of in
creasing the size of the church build
ing.
Two plans will be considered. The
first will be to build the Sunday
school room, which now sits back
nearly thirty feet from South A
street, to the sidewalk. The second
plan is to use the present church au-
ditorium as Sunday school room
and to build church building where
the Sunday school room is now 10
Gated 1t is thought more than prob
able that the first plan will be the
one adopted though it is not proba-
BILE that the committee will reach
decision for some time to come.
The Sunday school has had such
wonderful growth that it now num-
bers about $50 young people and it
is necessary to place the primary
class in the basement of the church
and to divide up the other classes IN

school room. 1t IS probable that in
case the committee decides to enlarge
the Sunday school room that the ad-
dition will be made two stories high,
with twelve rooms and large gallery
in the building.

WANT / PART OF
THIRD Ward DRY
MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO CLEAR
ALL SALOONS FROM
"GoosEToWN."
THE FIFTH WARD ORDINANCE
Will Come Up For Action at Next
Meeting of Councl-Opinions
of Councilmen.
THE FIFTH WARD ORDINANCE

A member of the city council is
authority for the statement that at
the next meeting of council, week
from today, an ordinance will be in
troduced declaring the entire Fifth
Ward and the Third Ward north of
the Panhandle railroad, residence
portions Of the city.
The, object of this ordinance is to
make that part of the city common
| ly referred to as "Goosetown' a
"dfy'' neighborhood. For the past
three weeks residents of the Fifth
Ward >, south of the Pan Handle
tracks have been signing a petition
asking council to declare the Fifth
residence ward. If this petition
was to be granted it would effect only
two saloons, Richard Hassard's s at
400 North F street and Henry Len
nard's, at COL North Twelfth street.
The driving out of these two sa-
looms from the Fifth Ward would
leave only one saloon north of the
railroad, John Schell's, at 600 North
Twelfth street, directly opposite Len
nard's saloon and safe in the Third
Ward
1t is said that council will be ask
ed to declare the north half of the
Third ward dry for this one reason
more than anything else, as it is re-
garded that an injustice would be
done Hassard and Lennard in fore
ing them to quit business and leaving
their only competitor in sole posses
sion Of the fsfield.'

COUNTY CAN ACT
+. AS It PLEASES
IN THE MATTER OF BUILDING A
JAIL FOR CONVICT
>e3- g.. l WOMEN.
ATTORNEY JOHN F. ROBBINS
Gives His Opinion to Commissioners
Jail Will Probably be Built
...e on South Second.
ATTORNEY JOHN F. ROBBINS

At the meeting of the county COM
missioners Saturday, County Attor-
ney John. F.. Robbins gave as his
opinion in the question Of the Coun-
tx Commissioners having the author
ity. Of building an addition to the
Home for the Friendless, private
corporation that they had discretion
ary powers as there are no laws on
the statue. books of the state, which
say that they cannot build additions
to private institutions, where the
county is benefited, and on the other
hand, there are no laws which give
the commissioners power to take
such action.
1t is now up to the commissioners
to decide whether they will build the
proposed Jail at the Home for the
Friendless or make an addition to
the county Jail to serve for the same
purpose. There will be another meet
ing of the commissioners this coming
Saturday and it is probable that a
decision will then be reached. 1t is
regarded as more than probable that
the commissioners action will be ad-
verse to the wishes of the trustees of
the Homesfor Che Friendless, who met
Friday last and decided to sell the
GROUND On the Home site to the coun-
y.for 81 preyided the county would

Put In Place.

Preparations for the state fair
opening are keeping a large number
of people busy. Exhibitors, state fair
officials and the street car company
people are all putting in strenuous
days but none are buster than the
Northwestern Telephone Co employees
There is a great demand for phones
at the fair, apparently everybody
wants one. Orders began coming in
lunches last week and there has
been a steady stream of them for
several days.
The company is experiencing some
difficulty in accommodating all
those who want phones all at once,
but a large force of men has been
put to work and it is hoped that near
ly all the lines and connections
needed will be installed before the
opening Of the fair.
1T is going to push us pretty hard
to do it," said Manager Hudson in
discussing the matter, but we have
put on extra men and though we
may have to work nights and next
Sunday we will do it."
