SWEEPING TRASH ON
STREETS is STOPPED
Stores Must be Careful
Therein.

Americas business streets must
present a more tidy appearance if the
mandate of the city council, backed
up by Chief Feagin, counts for any
thing, and they think it does. At this
season it is difficult for the street
cleaning force, with one wagon, to
cover the business district as often
daily as seems necessary, and merch-
ants are asked to render this labor as
light as possible by providing trash
boxes, or cans, at the front or rear of
therir stores in which trash can be
placed. Chief Feagin gave notice
yesterday to those merchants who
had not done so already, and the ap-
pearance of the business streets will
be improved accordingly.

SKATING IN VOGUE
ONCE MORE
Outlook Bright for Fine
Season at The Rink.
FOR
RHEUMATISM, KIDNEY & BLADDER /. TROUBLES

Roller skating is again taking hold
of the public fancy and the prospect
is that the fall and winter will be
marked by another great revival of
the sport, such as Americas witness
ed in the spring and early summer.
Roller skating is a fine sport on a
cool day or night, warming up the
blood, furnishing just enough excite
ment to make the nerves Jingle with
pleasure, and acting as a tonic on the
whole system.
The Windsor Skating Rink enjoys
a unique position. 1t is the only roof
rink in the South, if not in the coun-
try Up where the air is pure, free
from dust, with a floor of the finest
maple, and care taken to maintain
the best order, it is an excellent place
for an evenings outing. The young
people are taking to roller skating
again with avidity.
