Denunciation Of Ministers.

Five strangers have the past sew

These cranks preached from the
store boxes, public steps adm wherev-
err they could get a foothold. de-
nouncing the churches, ministers
and church members and claiming
they had the only true religion. The
people endured 1t until about 1890
o'clock last night. when Charles
Ford and the proprietor of the Cam
den hotel pulled one of the speakers
down of box. This precipitated a
loud discussion and attracted a large
crowd. which became much aroused
over the blasphemy of the street

'ened. but did not materialize.
The strangers were notified in
plain language not to resume their
preaching, and, II they do SO tonight

The strangers 'call themselves
Free Thinkers and from the manner
of their talk the people of Weston

ONE MIL TAX LEVY
NEEDED FOR PARK

Can Be Made, Because Of
Lack Of Funds
LEVY MEANS $1,000 a YEAR
Commissioners Arc Planning for Work
On the Park Which Cannot Be Done
Unless Tax Is voted-The Park Will
Be Paid for This Spring, But I'm.
provements Are Needed.

At the city election next Monday
the voters Of the city are to be asked
to vote a mill tax for three years
for the improvement and beautifyins
of the city's park, Riverside. Whether
or not much needed work is done de-
ponds on the result OF the vote on this
special proposition.
The park will be paid for this spring
out Of the balance Of the levy assessed
for its purchase, and there will be
about $500 left, but this amount will
not nearly do all that is necessary
to make the grounds what they should
be.
The 1 mill levy, will give the park
commissioners about $1,000 year
with which to improve the park. The
board contemplates this year putting
in a patent steel swing for the amuse-
ment of the public, and starting the
work OF excavating the lagoon and
waterway In the park. Roads and
walks will also be improved and the
general condition OF the park bettered.
If the tax is not voted all this work
of Improvement must 60 undone. A
levy OF l mill means about 25 cents

Miss Mary Hostetler, county superin-
tendent. The institute will be held as

heretofore

days, and on June IS, 81 and % the
Annual examinations Of the teachers
will be held. The examinations begin
the day following the close of the in
stitute. These examination dates are
flxed by the school laws, and to avoid
causing the teachers an additional trip
to the city to take them, the county
superintendent has arranged the insti-
tute so that it will Immediately precede
the examinations. So that the teach
ers might have an unbroken vacation
following the institute was another
reason why 1t has been set for so
early in the season. Nothing has as
yet been done about the instructors
or program Of studies and lectures.
