ACTION DELAYED
BY CITY COUNCIL
No New Ordinance Providing
For Dairy Inspector Is
Prepared.
THE QUESTION OF SALARY.
cITYS FINANCES MAY PREVENT
PLUM BEING PREPARED FOR
SOME oNE-sALARY OF $1,000
PROPOSED.

DR.. C. S. Bond, city health officer,
acting as chairman of a special COM
mittee to investigate the question of
local milk inspection reported last ev-
ening to council that the committee
had completed it's work and is now
DESTROYS of learning whether council
will favor the appropriation of $1,000
to s1.400 annually as a salary for a
city dairy inspector. He stated if
council favored this proposition the
committee will soon be ready to sub
init a milk inspection ordinance. How
ever he stated this action will not be
taken by the committee until council
has expressed its opinion of such an
appropriation.
Councilman Deuker moved that it
was the sense of council that an ap-
preparation, the amount not stated,
should be made for this purpose but
no vote was taken on the motion for
the reason that Councilman Won Pein
was of the opinion that council should
be given time to consider the matter.
lie stated that the financial condition
of the city warranted a thorough con-
sideration of the question. Other
councilmen are Of the same opinion
so no definate action will be taken
by council until it's next session.
1t was suggested by City Attorney
T. j. Study that the appropriation to
employ a dairy inspector be included
in the CITY, budget estimates for next
year. which budget will be presented
to council at one of it's meetings next
month. 1t is quite probable that the
appropriation in question will be in
corporated in the budget.
DR.. Bond stated to council that it
is poor policy to have dairy in
spector who is engaged in the prac-
tice of veterinary surgery. He said
that no matter how honest such a
man may be he will be greatly influ-
enced by the fact that he is dependent
upon dairymen and farmers for his
livelihood. DR.. Bond. by these remarks.
referred to Dr. Lee Hoover, who is
employed by the city as a dairy in
spector at the munificent salary of
$40 per year
Dr. Bond stated that for $1,000 or
S1,400 1t will be possible to secure a
competent veterinary to fill the posi-
ton of dairy inspector but none of the
local veterinaries would accept such
"A position at this salary as he would
have to give up his practice. which in
every case amounts to more than the
city can afford to pay.

One of Her Friends.

Here is a sample of the breaks"
that dignifed, abnormally self appre-
ciative men sometimes make when
they undertake to be facetious and
talk down" to a younger generation.
A certain physician who has seen
more than one family experience the
standard ailments through three gen.
erations was recently called to attend
a woman who has employed him when
in need of a physician for the last
twenty-five years. On this particular
visit he closed her mouth on clinical
thermometer and strolled around the
room while it was doing its work.
Stopping before a picture of Rosa
Bonheur's donkey, he remarked in a
would be funny manner to the daugh-
ter of his patient. II suppose this is
one of your friends?"
Yes, sir" came the reply straight
from the shoulder, Its our family

ARGUMENT IS HEARD
Court Has Not Ruled on the
Destruction of Jones'
Liquors.
A QUESTION OF LICENSE.

Arguments were heard before Judge
Converse yesterday afternoon in the
action of Prosecutor Jessup on petition
for an order of court to destroy the
liquor seized last week in the alleged
Blind tiger operated by DR.. Jones al
Whitewater. Judge Converse has ia
ken the matter under Amusement and
will submit ruling tomorrow morn
ing.
Attorney Robbins for the defendant
argued that before this action could
be taken it would be necessary for the
state to prove DR.. Jones was not reg
istered and licensed pharmacist. Pros.
ecutor Jessup stated that he could pre-
sent the government liquor receipt
which is not license, held by DR.
Jones, thus showing that he had the
liquor in his possession and that il
would be necessary for the defense tc
prove that Dr. Jones was licensed
pharmacist. The prosecutor doubted
if the defense would be able to do this

Why They Got No Mail.

An official of the postoffice depart

postoffice that was established in a
certain small town. A native of the
place, the proprietor of grocery, was
installed as postmaster. 1t was not
very long before complaints were filed
with the department that no mail was
being forwarded from the new office
so an inspector was detailed to inves,
tigate the matter. When he called up
on the postmaster and asked why nc
mail had been sent out, the former
pointed to large mail bag hanging ur
in a corner and said:

MANY CAMPERS OUT
Present Prospects Are For a
Larger Crowd Than
Last Year.
HEADQUARTERS MOVED.

1t is believed that the number of
campers at the Chautauqua this year
will be as large as three years ago.
when it was the largest, 220 tents be-
ing occupied. At the present time 1876
tents have been ordered by persons
who expect to camp out for the next
two weeks. Last year there were only
1873 tents.
Already about So families have
moved to the grounds and taken pos
session of their tents. Each day sees
a number bring camping goods to the
tents and preparations made to take
life easy during the Chautauqua pro-
gram. The majority of the campers
will be in possession of tents by to-
morrow evening.
The Chautauqua headquarters have
been moved from the Commercial club
rooms to the grounds, where Sec'y

ISSUE OF BONDS
WILL Be LARGE
Washington Township Bonds
viii Be on Sale Next
Month.
THE BURDEN OF WEIGHT.
INCREASE TO TAX LEVY WILL BE
10 CENTS ON EACH s1oo-wAYNE
TOWNSHIP is HELPED BY THE
CITY.

The issue of bonds to derive funds
for the construction of the Washing
ton township road will be made Sept.
/ and the bonds will be sold probably
on Sept. 5. The contract price of the
road was s14.9S9 and all other expen-
ses including the survey, the per diem
of superintendent and engineer, adver-
Using, etc. will run the total issue up
TO $4,000. Washington township tax
payers including those of the corpor-
alton of Milton will be taxed to meet
the principal and interest annually on
this bond issue. 1t has not been de-
termined what the rate will have TO
be against Washington township to
raise the required amount, but 1t will
likely be in the neighborhood of Is
cents On each 500. This will be an
annual rate over and above the regu-
iod OF ten years.
In Wayne township the issue for
the South l. street gravel road was
$4,000 and the special rate on ac-
count Of this road for Wayne town
ship, including the city of Richmond
will probably be two cents on each
500. Wayne townships assessed val
uation of approximately 5000, 900
will make the burden very light on
taxpayers, but in Washington town
ship a special levy of IS cents will
be unusually severe.

Lover of Nature.

faring fish. l confess that the fascina-
ton for me is the same whether l

my dining room window and contem-
plate the goldfish in my little boy's
glass bowl. People watch the mon
keys at the zoo and remark how hui
man they are. how sly and crafty the
old ones, how cute and playful the
young ones. But for steady company
give me the fish. How restful they
are with their mouthings, as regular
as if they were governed by balance
wheel. How quiet. too. for not one
word of murmured protest or Of chat
tering fault finding do they inflict upon
us! How philosophical as they bask
in the sun the livelong day or seek
ths occasional shade Of the modest
-, of green's which forms the
conventional garnishing Of their wa
terry abode! How easily gratiied are
their simple tastes! Surely with their
good manners, their quiet department
and their stoical bearing goldfish are
the ideal companions Of the mature
man. Monkeys and dogs and kittens
may amuse the children by their tricks
and antics, but only the grown man
can appreciate the solid qualities of
the fish's character as written upon
his features.-Atlantic Monthly.
