discussed.
MAYOR ASKS COUNCIL
To Raise the Police and
Firemens Salaries.
Hard to Find New Men Who
are Willing to Work for the Sal
aries Paid.

AT an informal meeting of the
finance, fire department and police de-
partment committees of the city conn
eli, held Monday evening, Mayor
Louis Scherff requested that an in
crease in wages be granted the fire
men and patrolmen. lie said that
with the present high prices for all
commodities, the wages which the
men in the two departments receive
ara insufficient. He also said that
the time which both the fremen and
policemen put In should merit more
compensation.
Under the present arrangement, a
fireman or policeman starts work at
$50 a month and must work three
years before he gets an increase. At
ter that he is entitled tc $50 a month.
The council has been asked TO grant
comfortable increase

fire department is not very attract

offered, it is hard TO secure capable

In the police department each man
is on duty ~ hours at stretch, and
in the fire department. the men are
on duty constantly.
The older men in the two depart
ments are remaining or duty, but It
Is extremely difficult TO get and keep
new men, the mayor stated. The old
men are now getting $50 a month,

When the teachers committee
presented the names of the above
teachers the question came up as
to whether or not they had the nee
essary high school certificates. No
body seemed 10 know and they
were elected contingent to the GER
tificate recruitment. The board
instructed the chairman Of the
teachers committee TO investigate
and if found not to possess the
certificates to notify the examin-
ers to call special high school
examination.
Superintendent Frank presented
table showing hiS plans of plac-
ing pupils at the various build
ings. The Oak street building will
be ready for use by the time school

sideration until a later meeting.

fly the contractor Of the Oak

mittee was also authorized to adj
vertise for bids calling for a stone

ing and that the American Furnace
and Foundry Company had offered
to make them at a cost Cf 1892.
However he stated that Mr.. Wilson
the newly elected superintendent of
buildings had expressed his capa-
bility of making the improvements
and by doing so would save the
board at least $15. And Mr.. Viii
son was awarded the contract.
Miss Hanaman,, n young Latin
teacher Of the city asked the board
the privilege Of using a room in
the high school for the purpose of
tutoring students who had fallen
behind in their work. As the board
has an irOn-clad rule that roops in
the high school shall not be lei

FAMILY THEATER
TO REMAIN OPEN
Will not Close Down During
Summer Season
Large Houses Present Monday
EveniDg-ExcelleGt Bill
Is offered.

1t is likely that the Marion
Family Theater will remain open
during the entire summer. Manager
II. S. Vail states That the attend
ance is keeping up much better
during the warm weather than he
expected, and he thinks he will be
able to keep the house open con-
tinually.
About nine other houses on the
circuit of which Marion is a men,
Der have been closed because of
lack Of patronage during the warm
weather and it is probable that all
but a few will have to close be-
fore the summer is over.

the warm weather business in

dancing act entitled "The Lady
the Tad and the Coon. The act
was replete in brilliant jokes and
dancing stunts and was clever in
every feature.
Gertrude and Robert Day in a
musical sketch produced n very
pleasing act and one which was APP
preciated. An unusual but exceed
ingly clever act was the lie Pei

1T seems, went Maud, with her face bent above
the cream jug, that this girl was aaa sort of Franken
stein. That is what is who has no heart,
isn't she? She was pretty you know and all that but
just desperately poor and she wanted fine Clothes and
Jewels and carriages, and horses, and all the pomp
that money buys and she'd made up her mind to sell
herself for them to the first who rich enough
to pay the price. Only, of course she didn't put the
thing in that brutal way of herself.
''Shed been aWfuly spoiled, first by her own people,
and then by others, and she'd been taught always

many men loved her, and she amused herself with them

smiles that but actresses trick and then when
she grew tired OF them, She threw them aside with

was with her. he seemed to lift the shallow girl up to his
height, and she grew ashamed of her silly purposeIess
life and most of all ashamed of the bargain she was
going to make, selling her soul for few gewgaws.

Don't Be Monotonous

7 T is a womans own fault if housekeeping is the
deadly monotony that SO many claim it is. No
l amount of genius can make it a continual round
OF excitement. But that is true of everything
that has to be done every day The very fact that
thing has to be done to-day and and the day
after, makes it monotonous. But have you ever
noticed in how many homes there is no planning of
meals2 Dear me-" says the housekeeper in the

any of you want?" The rest of the family, with other
things their minds to plan and scheme about, and
