THE JUNK ORDINANCES
Mayor Ralston Enforces Recent
City Enactments.

Junk dealers in the city must be-
ware in their dealings that they COM
ply with the ordinance restricting
them, as Mayor Ralston made an ex-
ample OF Sol Popofsky this morning

from minor. Louis Ainsbury, a
young boy under sixteen years of age,
appropriated bicycle which he found
standing in front of the Kalbach lum-
Der yard Monday afternoon, and rode
it to the Popofsky junk yard where he
disposed of 1t to the proprietor for
80 cents. The wheel belonged to Cur
tbs Barnard and was good one which
he has been riding every day and
was worth a dozen times the price the
lad sold 1t for When the stolen prop
erty was located and the Ainsbury
boy was found, he was taken before
County Attorney John C. Williams, but
set free on his promise of good be
havior.
The boy escaped punishment, but
when the matter was reported to May
'or Chas. Ralston he was not satisfied
and had the junk dealer brought be-
fore his presence to answer for
breaking the late city ordinance No.

She was such dainty maiden!
And her age about eighteen.
She was quite the sweetest charmer
That the chappie boys had seen.
Each one told her of his longing
In a hammock, or a boat
When along some shady shadows.
In dreamland, they would float!
One by one she fascinated
Every man, save one. who came
Every chappie, grave, beseeching,
Sought the miss to change her name
Ali they told her how they loved her.
How her love for them would grow
But the maiden yearned and waited
And to each one answered, Nor
Just q dozen was her killing
As she left the lake for town
But she wasn't glad nor happy
When the porter helped her down.
She had won dozen chappies
But the one man said her nay
And dozen doesn't matter.

COUNTY TO RETAIN LATENSER
Board Proposes Thousand Dollars for ArOhi-
teot Plans Of Court House.
WANTS SOMETHING DEFINITE FOR VOTER,
Resolution Held in Allegiance Declares
Million in Bonds Gould BE
Paid without Extra
Tax Levy.

A step in the direction OF new court
house was taken Saturday, when a reso-
luton was prepared and signed by Com
missioners Kennard and Solomon, providing
that John Latenser be retained to prepare
detailed plans for the proposed building IN
order that the taxpayers might under
stand just what they are voting for when
the proposition to vote S1,00000O bonds is
submitted at the fall election. At the re-
quest Of Commissioners Bruning and
Trainor. the resolution was not introduced
at the meeting Saturday morning, but will
be held for a week.
It was proposed to pay Mr.. Latenser $1,000
for this work. The resolution declares that
public sentiment is largely In favor OF
new building and that the building could
be constructed and the bonds and interest
paid without increasing the present tax
levy
As soon as the resolution goes through
petitions intended to test public sentiment
on the proposition will be circulated over
the county and unless opposition which is
not looked for develops the question win
be submitted at the coming election. The
commissioners desire TO have a definite
proposition to make to the voters and for
this reason propose to have the plans
drawn before the proposition is passed on.
