SOME WILL NOT GET
LICENSES Renewed
Mayor Schaffer Declares Also That
Saloon Permits Will Not Be
Transferred Hereafter.

Mayor Schaffer says hereafter nc
more saloon licenses will be trans
ferred. 1t has been the custom in thi,
city to allow one who takes out ii
license to dispose of it to some one
else if he wishes to go out of business
before the end of the six months. The
mayor, however, declared the practice
is Illegal and besides, it gives an o.
portunity for Irresponsible and unde-
sirable parties to secure control of
saloons. The mayor declares when
some of the present proprietors
apply for a renewal of their licenses
along about Nov. l they will find they
are up against it. No license will be
issued hereafter in the case of anv
saloon which has stalls of any kim
and certain other regulations will be
insisted upon.
Only those who have been toeing
the mark pretty closely will be able
to continue business if the mayor car
ries his resolve into effect

WEDNESDAY, JULY "A, 1907.

According to . police judge of Lo. gansport. Ind, snoring 70 excess" is unlawful. and he recently put a man under a bond to keep the peace because he had created a public disturbance by his uproarious nasal performance. That may be the way to settle it, but. as The Kansas City Journal asks what is a bugle- peaked individual to do? Obviously if he could keep from snoring he would do so, as the accom- plishment is humiliating and of no com mercial value. It is all very well to fine him and place him under bonds to keep the peace. but even these severe restrictions and penalties can be of little effect in dreamland. Once an in ventor who was afflicted with the nose in the hope of stopping the noise, but he had no more than dropped off to unconsciousness before he awoke with a gasp to find that he had swal- lowed the pin and was in danger of choking to death. Here is a field for science. If some method could be de- vised to abolish snoring, a grateful hu manity would rise up from it's restful beds and say. Blessed be he who first invented sleep. but thrice blessed be he who first invented the snoreless sleep"

A BAD MIX-UP.

There seems a good probability for "casus belli," or something of the kind
 between somebody and some govern ment over in Cuba, if all the report com ing form there are to be relied on, AS we get the story there Is Corporal Nc Nichoi, who, belongs to what is known as the army of pacification" Mac is. first, a canny Scotchman, but lastly and periodically an American to the core and an upholder of the glorious flag of the Union and all that 1t repre- sents.
 We'll on the 4th of July this patriotic corporal and some companions obtained leave to get out into the woods and cele- brate They were loaded for anything, especially McNichol, who was full of patriotism and other things and was ready to tackle whatever presented it. self By some means he became separated from his companions and wandered into d piece of woods. Then, without warning he came upon what was to him a number of strange animals which to his excited imagination look ed at him with deadly ferocity Did heing loriously fly from this unexpected peril? Not he Was he not native of Scotland and an American soldier? Did he not wear the American uniform and bear in his hand the deadly maga- zine gun? He surely did, and instead of inglorious flight he began pumping lead into the ferocious beasts which he thought were just about to charge down and devour him, and for a few moments there was d mimic battle go- ing on with Corporal Mac as the sole representative of American valor.
 Well, to make a short story of 1t, when the gallant coruorals companions
