 In the beginning the library was of service as an educational institution and the use made of resources was along that line.
 What do the reports show to-day? Take the report of the Young Mems Institute here in our own town. Nine teen hundred and nineteen volumes of fiction, 56 volumes of history, 4e vol umes Of essays. for the month of No vember. The librarian further reports that half of the people cannot tell who the author was of the last novel they read
 The New York Times in a late issue tells of the librarians trying the plan of giving a serious book out with every novel, but speaks of the plan as un- likely to be of any value, as the H. brary help are not capable of doing such work
 There is no question but public li- braries should be maintained for the use of reference and study The ex- pense of maintaining a library for such purposes would be much less than the money spent for useless fic- ton would go far towards adding books of permanent value.
 Certainly the giving of libraries in the way MT Carnee'e has been doing is unwise One toN which accepted his donation (which the time was sadly in need of a pure 7ater service) was compelled to go for three years longer without fit drinking water and the inhabitants were obliged to pur- chase spring water. It seems time to look into this matter and see whether the peoples money is not being wasted in the foolish purchase of books of fiction
 The bookseller as a taxpayer has 9 right to question in this matter, his main revenue is from this class of books and there is no reason why peo- pie who desire 10 amuse themselves should not be made to pay for it the same as they do when they want 10 go to the theater. W H PARKER

SOME ONE ANSWER Question Raised of Furnishing
 Fiction to Readers of Pub k lie Libraries.
ONE CITIZEN THINKS NOT
Rcpo rts Show That the Public Uses Much More Fiction Than
 Other Books.

On looking over the reports of the librarians of the numerous libraries of this county this seems to be a ques- ton which must sooner or later be met and answered.
 Why should the city spend the money of the people on what is simply entertainment for a small percentage of it's population who use the library, that it may read the mass of stuff called fiction?
 Why should not the city build thea ters and hire actors to provide vaude- vile or trashey plays for the use of the public?\
 There is as much reason in such a

COFFEE COUGH Woman Feared Consumption but Spe. cialist Said Cough Came from Coffee

Quite relief to learn your cough, which everyone said was surely con sumption, is really caused by reflex irritation from coffee drinking
 You can quit the coffee, but con sumption is hard to shake.
 4 Wis. woman coughed so hard and so much she and her friends thought sure she had consumption, but spe- cialist in lung diseases found her lungs were all right-the cough came from coffee She writes:
 T had a very bad cough that re- fused to yield to medicine After five months doctoring with home doctor and fearing consumption. I consulted g specialist who examined my lungs thoroughly. He said they were all right, but l must quit drinking coffee as that was probably the cause of it ! was very nervous, also
 He suggested I drink Postur. and gave me no medicine, only said he would write to my home doctor l came home glad in one way and sorry in another I thought it was hard tc give up coffee, for I did not care for breakfast without if
 The doctors letter n1iscarried and I got no medicine for ? weeks. but I left off coffee and began to use Post urn. and my cough began to get bet ter. I steadily improved in other ways digestion got all right and l was not nervous
 "A short time ago I went to a pic mic where they served only coffee and 1 drank some. but found my great love for it was entirely gone
 T would have been glad 10 have had cup of Postun1. for the coffee drank seemed like I had swallowed 2 stone, besides I did not sleep that night.

NO HOPE FOR INTERSTATE.

NO HOPE FOR INTERSTATE.
Hope of reviving the defunct Inter-
state Polo league has about been
abandoned. When Akron and Sharon
decided TO withdraw, Newcastle pro-
moters came out and endeavored to
put the organization on its feet
again. Now it is announced that
the Newcastle team is going east,
and Eddie Higgins, captain OF the
Youngstown club, has gone east to
join Waterbury of the National
league. Without him the Phenoms
could not expect to succeed.
The Interstate had chance for a
successful season early last fall. but
20 mflay players deserted. The
fans had been accustomed to seeing
only the best polo and when second
rate teams commenced representing
some of the cities patronage fell off
TO an alarming extent. After eating
up some of the profits of former
times. the magnates decided to get
out from under before the load be-
came too heavy. S
A meeting was held two days ago
at Newcastle, when an attempt was
made to get things going again.
Newcastle men were to have a large
finger in the pie. But the players
did not care to take chances. and 80
many OF them depsrted for the Ma
tional league that the Interstate now
appears ready for ipterment.

As Yet Zanesville Has not Been

Tonight at the local rink Zanes-

has not besn defeated by the local

ager Quinn hopes to take the
scalps of the team from the city
that Marion succeeded in the Ohio
Penn league. Quinn IS home is in
GAINESVILLE and for that reason he
is doubly anxious to take the visi-
tors into camp. The crowd at the
Coshocto game Tuesday night was
ia large one and there Is every rea-
son to believe that the game to-
night will attract the largest crowd
OF the season.
1t is now practically certain that
the Ohio State league directors will
not permit any of the stars from
the Interstate league, which re-
Gently disbanded to play in this
league. Thus foiled in his attempt
to strengthen the local team still
more, Manager Quinn has practical
iy secured the services OF one or
two players from the National
league, who will join Marion, IL
the services of the present players
are not entirely satisfactory. When
the team first came to Marion,
Quinn promised local sport lovers
a winner and he will spare no ex-
pense to give Marion the best in
the league.

GAINESVILLE MAY.FORSAKE
~ CENTRAL FOR OHIO STATE

Information reached here yesterday
THAT many of GAINESVILLE deep-think-
ling baseball enthusiasts are veering
to the opinion that it would be best
for that town to become member
|of the Ohio State league in prefer
|ence to taking berth in the Cen
trial.
Membership In the Ohio league
would provide GAINESVILLE with at least
one keen natural river in Newark, on
|ly 26 miles away, while Wheeling,
over in West Virginia, would be the
nearest competitor OF the Muskingum
county metropolis, should 1t affiliate
with the Central league.
Quality OF ball that would be pro-
vided for the GAINESVILLE fans would
be about the same, no matter what
league Is entered Last season the
Ohio-Penn. people claimed that their
club played faster bail than that pro-
duced in the Central. With this line
of argument followed out, 1t is fair
to presume that the two leagues under
consideration will be of about equal
caliber next year.
Therefore the question OF rivalry
should have a great deal to do with
the final decision OF the GAINESVILLE
directors. That town has nothing in
common with Grand Rapids, Terre
Haute. South Bend or Fort Wayne,
and very little with Dayton or
Wheeling, the two Central towns
nearest. s
On the other hand, Newark Is with
in easy reach of GAINESVILLE. Mans
field Is not 50 far away and both are
hustling little cities. as is GAINESVILLE.
1t stands to reason that rivalry, ex-
isting between the three in business
ways, could be injected into baseball.
In case both Newark and Zanes-
vile should be fortunate enough to
have clubs fighting Tor a high posi-
tion in the Ohio State race, games
between these teams would arouse ev-
cry bit as much interest throughout
heir territory as have the series of
the last two years between Column
bus and Toledo of the American asso-
citation.
Zanesyille is wanted in the Ohio
State. and perhaps her territory now
belongs to this new league, as Pres
ident Quinn. after his election here
