An information was filed last week
before Mayor Harvey by city marshal
Chandler, charging four boys, Glen and
James Vaughn, Art Frazier and Byron
Watsabaugh with disorderly conduct,
it being claimed that the boys had been
disturbing a prayer meeting which was
being held at the home of William
Vaughn, the father of the two Vaughn
boys. When the boys were arrested
and taken before the mayor the two
Vaughns and young Frazier plead guilty
and were fined $1.O0 and costs each,
the case against Watsabaugh being dis
missed as it was found that he had not
participated in the disturbance. The
boys got off easy as had they been
prosecuted under the state law for dis
turbing religious meeting they would
have been liable to heavy penalty.

of developing a hardy banana plant
for cultivation in this country. Our
National banana bill for the calendar
wear 1905 was s9,s26,So6. This is
more than double the bill of ten
years ago. We paid more last yea
for imported bananas than we paid
for imported art works, and nearly
as much as we paid for imported
wines. We paid twice as much as
we did for spices. The banana appe-
tite is evidently a permanent feature
of the national life.
