were represented. Vegetables, fruits.

school delivered brief address In

gave brief address emphasizing fur

convocations. The Lutherans base
their observance OF the day upon old

MINSTRELS GIVE
EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT

The entertainment given at the
opera house Thursday night by Beech
& Bowers minstrel troupe was in no
wise a disappointment to those who
had looked forward to 1t as one of the
most pleasurable events of the theat-
was, perhaps. the time this year that
every seat was occupied, although
nearly every performance that has
taken place under the management OF
Mr.. Beghtol has been characterized
by liberal patronage.
Ainstrelsy is one Of the oldest forms
of entertainment, but 1t has not lost
any of its charms for the public, par
ticularly when presented by such ca
pable company as the one which ap-
peared here on Thursday night.
Beach & Bowers are classed among
the kings of the American minstrel
stage and entertainments given under
their names is a guarantee of excel
lence.
Every member of the troupe is an
artist in his special role. and to that
fact is due the success and popularity
Of the company with theatre-goers
throughout the country. The songs
and jests of the troupe we're new and
evoked general merriment The dane
ing and other features were good and
combined to produce show OF ex-

CITY COUNCIL PASSES
A NEW JOINT LAW
Agreed to by All Alderman Who Be-
lieve 1t VIII Put the Joints Out Of
Business.

The meeting of the city council
Monday night was notable one, and,
1t is believed, will be far reaching
one in it's effects so far as the illegal
sale of intoxicants within the city
limits is concerned.
Unaware that anything of unusual
importance was to be considered but
few people were present to watch the
proceedings. which were surprising to
the majority of those present not mem
bers of the municipal body. At the
conclusion of the roll call Mayor
Coulter arose and called Alderman
Okey to the chair after which he ad-
dressed the council at some length up
on the unfortunate state of affairs ex-
listing in the city under which unscru-
pulous men were selling intoxicating
liquors in defiance of the will of the
people as expressed at the polls last
spring and in violation OF the ordi-
|nances. During the last few months, y
said Mayor Coulter, II have been crit
icised, sometimes pretty severely, in
public press and in private for not
performing the duties Of the city mar
shall There is no precedent here, or
elsewhere, for such a course by the
chief executive and it should not be
expressed. have been requested, in
deed, 1t has been demanded of me, to
close up certain places where an IL
licit traffic in liquors is being carried
on by personal and individual powers,
but l have declined to do 80 on the
ground that am not police officer.
II want to make it clear to the
council that l do not believe that the
ordinances under which l am asked
to suppress the sale of liquor by the
Canon City Labor club is properly
drawn or legal instrument, and, Is
therefore, void and Of no avail. This
opinion is shared by many others,
some of them by men standing in the
forefront of the legal profession in
this state. To cover the defects which
I am confident exist in the present
law / want to introduce new ordi-
nance, or rather supplement to the
old ordinance, which / hope will re-
ceive the concurrence of every member
of this council. 1t has been very care
fully drawn, and, / believe, it will
stand the severest test Of the courts.
If it is passed its provisions will be
enforced to the letter and I am sure
will be the means of breaking up the
liquor business in this city. The old
ordinance is weak and inefficient.
This one l believe will meet all Of the
requirements of the situation and
bring about the triumph of the law"
The ordinance was handed to the
clerk who read 1t In full after which a
motion was made that it be accepted
and published in compliance with the
statutes of the state. Every member
Coulter announced he would use every
endeavor to execute. The ordinance
alluded to state that every place
within the limits Of the City of Canon
City, or within one mile OF the outer
boundaries of said city or incorporated
town, In or at where any Intoxicating,
spirituous. malt, vinous, fermented,
or mixed liquor shall be sold, bartered,
given away, offered for sale or barter,

NAME SURVIVES ARTICLE.
Pcnknife of the Original Pattern
Something Not Now Made
Use or.

One OF the most remarkable In
stances of the name OF an article sur
viving its use is the penknife. We
talk OF It every day, but the purposes
for which the penknife were originally
designed exist no longer. The pen
of western civilization was fabricated.
as old people remember. of quills, and
quill pens are still affected by old
fashioned persons, who declare that
no efficient substitute has yet been
found for them. The penknife of our
great-grandfather's day was, indeed,
triumph of the cutters art in the
keenness Of Its edge. According to the
list of the requirements of complete
writer, the scribe needed "a penknife.
razor metal" always at hand, and
people who remember how soon quill
pen became unsuitable in the hands
of vigorous writer's will appreciate the
necessity. To be good pen-mender
was one of the first essentials in a
village pedagogue; his penknife was
as indispensable to him as his cane.
Strangely enough, there were members
of pens.who seemed born to fulfill the
function, and men who could never
learn the art. let them try as they
might. But the penknife, properly SO
called, is no more, and with its dis
appearance vanished the expert who
welded 1t.
