Don't be too Sensitive.

There are people-yes, many

Sights. They cannot carry on
the daily intercourse of family
without finding some oHense is

as hair triggers. If they meet an
acquaintance who happens to be
pre-occupied with business, they
attribute his distraction in some
mode personal to themselves,
and take umbrage accordingly.
They lay on others the fruit of
their own irrability. Indigestion
makes them see impertinence in
every one they come in contact
with. Innocent persons, who nev-
er dreamed of giving offense, are
astonished to find some unfortu-
nate word or momentary tacitur-
nifty mistaken for an insult. To
say the least the habit is unfor-
tunate. 1t is far wiser to take
the more charitable view of our
fellow beings, and not suppose
that slight was intended unless
the neglect was open and direct.

volume Of business has grown in

from home one year ago last
May, and the father has searched
day after day, far and wide,
without success. He believes
that his son can be found amon5
travelling junk dealers, so called
horse traders or movers. He
does not think the boy was stolen
By genuine gypsies. He thinks
he was taken by q wandering
band that used him for the pur-
pose OF begging in the towns

$4,000 VIII Be Asked For
That Purpose.
10 Aid ii the Prevention Of Importing The
Disease Into the United StatGS---WiI-
iiamS Names Amount Needed.

A Washington Special Of the
30th, says;
The national quarantine bill
which the fifty ninth congress
VIII be asked by the Southern
members to pass will be in sub
stance an amendment proposed
by Representative John Sharp
Williams to the Mallory bill.
Senator Mallory would place
the quarantine regulations in the
hands of the surgeon-general Of
the marine hospital service, but
his bill fails to specify any
amount Of money to be appro-
priated by congress for carrying
on the work, leavingathe matter
of appropriation for future refer
ence.
The Williams amendment pro-
vides for an appropriation of
$50, 600, 900 for the general pur-
pose of preventing the importa-
ton of yellow feYer into the
United States and for the further
purpose Of cooperation with the
state health authorities in eradi-
saeinss the dis8ase II i sh6ul3 be
introduced; for preventing its
spread from one state to another
and for destroying its cause,
whatever the same may be,
whatever it may be found.
While this was offered and
adopted as an amendment to the
Mallory bill, it practically
amounts to new bill. AT a
meeting of the quarantine com
mittee lastnight it was decided to
recommend the Mallory bill with
the Villains amendment, and at
a meeting next Friday night the

City Of Columbus Better OF

By The Fathers Many Improvements
And Additions.

There has recently been some
talk on the streets against the
proposed bond issue; the claim
having been made that the city's
finances should not have been in
the condition they now are but an
investigation into the matter
shows that there is no just
grounds for this complaint.
1t is true that on the first day
of January, 1906, there was de-
ficit Of S1O,699.54. but when it is
taken into consideration that the
permanent improvements far ex-
ceed this amount it is not a bad
showing at all. For instance the
city has paid since 1900 when the
new water plant was first installed
the following sums: For exten-
sion of sewer and water mains,
new machinery, engine, boilers,
pumps etc and sundry additions

THE Northwestern railway company
is pressing for action OIL the ordinance
which permits the road to put addi-
tiona1 tracks across Grand avenue in
return for contribution of nearly
$50 600 towards the paving of West
Main street and there are no indica-
lions that the railway officials would
not be overcome with sorrow if the
delay of the council gave them a valid
excuse to get out of their bargain. It
is certain that if the council turns the
ordinance down that the company can
use what tracks are already down
to nearly as good advantage as it
could use new ones and without its
costing them cent. There is no
easier way for the alderman to make
money for the city than by accepting
this proposition and we believe that
they will be making big mistake if
they let this chance get away from
them.

STRIKE Is ON AGAIN
Ice Handlers Co Out on a Second
Strike After Working a Few
Hours tuesday Morning
MEN MAKE NEW DEMANDS

\
The settlement Of the ice. divers
strike was too good to last and this
morning the old conditions are, on
again and not wheels turning in
the yards of the ice company. The
men worked for few hours on Tues
day after which they decided to strike
again and this morning not man
showed up to take the wagons out to
supply the regular trade. The old
plan of private delivery is on again
this morning. and with the hot sultry
weather prevailing the wagons of the
livery stables ere kept busy hauling
ice 70 Consumers. On account Of the
fact that the men went to work on
Tuesday most of the customers of the
company believed that the trouble
was over and paid no attention to the
condition of the ice boxes but the
boxes which were empty last night
are still empty this morning and the
managers of the company state that
they have no idea as to when a plan
can be found to get the wagons run
ming again. It is claimed by the
managers that the president Of the
transfers union was at the ice houses
when the men went to work on Tues
day and that he informed them that
it was ali right for them to go to work.
AS yet the men who are striking
have made no formal demand upon
the companies for an increase in
wages but the managers have been
informed by individual members of
the union that the demand to be made
will be a further increase of SIS a
month for both the drivers and the
helpers. This would bring the wages
of drivers up to $40 month and that
Of the helpers to SOS.
The managers stated this morning
that they had no power to grant a
further increase to the men and be-
fore any settlement is reached au-
thority will have to be secured from
the men in control Of the companies.
Many of the drivers were not satis-
fed with the scale agreed upon Tues
day, and while some of them were
DESTROYS Of returning to work it is
probable that the majority will control
and that the men will remain out
until some final settlement is reached.
1t is probable that before a settlement
is reached this time the managers will
demand that scale for the entire
season be signed by the men to pre-
went q recurrence 0f tI7t. strike di1finD

THE strike of the ice handlers has
started considerable talk of a coop
erative ice company for Kenosha. If
the present outrageous prices the
small consumer is paying for his ice
are to be maintained, and there is
every prospect that they are,-the
scheme for cooperative company
would find favor with a good many
people, and if the right men took hold
Of it could undoubtedly be made a
success. If the plan is ever tried the
shares of stock in the new company
should be put at such low figure that
every ice consumer in the city would
feel able to subscribe for one or more
shares, making the company a CO
operative one in fact as well as in
name. While the p1an for co-opera-
tive company may come to something
in the future, if the trust continues to
squeeze the last cent possible out OF
the consumers, just at present the
crying need of the consumers is Co
operative delivery company to get the
ice to them at any price.
