EDITOR EUREKA SENTINEL: Reno is
on edge and things promise to be doing
in a very short time.
A crusade against gambling is on
which threatens to reach to the utter
most borders of the State and drive
gambling into the last ditch and from
the only foothold left, the State of Ne
vada.
At the meeting Of the City Council
Monday night the citizeus were given
another display of the peanut quality of
the craftsmanship of our very wise mu-
nicipal fathers. On the first of this
mouth the Western Union Telegraph
Company refused to pay further license
to the city for the privilege of doing
business here and demanded back all
the license money heretofore paid, bas.
ing their refusal and demand on the fact
that they were an Interstate Commerce
corporation and not subject to a local
license.
The Blackstone who doles out the law
for the city had drawn that most won
derful and fearful ordinance known as
the license ordinance and which includ.
ed everything from a chimney sweep
to a railroad in its mighty and awful
sweep. and when asked for an opinion
as to the city's right to collect from COR
porations engaged in an interstate busi-
ness. said the city could not collect it.
What followed? This wise Demos.

IMPORTANT REAL ESTATE DEAL.
HON w. T. COLE BUYS LAND AD- r JACENT TO SOUTH END OF
 TAUNTON LAKE.

Hon W. T. Cole, general manager of the Fabric Fire Hose Co.,, who is build. ing a beautiful residence on the hill overlooking Newtown Street, has bought the 10 acres of land on the south end of Taunton lake, and will greatly improve the property. This land was formerly owned by Reuben H. Smith and then passed into the hands of, Elmer W. Fairchild, who sold it to Frank w. Beers. MT Beers sold it to Wheeler Beers estate, who now have disposed of it to MT Cole. The beautiful picnic grove on the shore of the lake will be cleared up, and MT Cole will allow the Sunday schools of all the churches free use of the grounds for picnic purposes under prop CT restrictions. It is matter for gen. eral congratulation that this piece of property has passed into the hands of so public spirited a gentleman, and will mean much to the town at large. The grounds at the lake have been used by the public for picnics for years. The Bee understands MT Cole will clear up the grounds which have been sadly neglected for nearly 20 years. The lard contains many desirable sites for the summer residences, and we shall be deeply gratifed If residences can be built there.

BUY FOR EASTER NOW.
EARLY BUYERS GET THE PICK OF THE GREATEST STOCKS
 EVER SHOWN.

Meigs & Go. are giving their friends and customers excellent advice, to the effect that they better buy Easter things this week. The intent of this is to urge people to make selections of their Easter wears while Spring stocks are at the height of their diversity and richness. There are so many that defer their Easter purchases until the last minute and so run the risk of dis appointment, that there is room and time for wise ones to make selections this week at their leisure. Easter wears were never more attractive or shown in such wonderful variety as they now appear at Meigs & Co.'S big store. And whether one wishes a bit of neckwear, or whole new Easter outfit, it is certain that the character of Melgs & Go. wears, as well as the greater variety in which they are shown, and the reasonable prices at which they are sold, will prove potent inducement to buy at the big store, and to buy this week.

ASUCCESSFUL STORE. WHY?

There is nothing mysterious about successful store-keeping. nothing sur prising about the large business we are doing in children's clothes and the many goods we are selling. An ordln- ary store, one just like the others about it, gets ordinary business just like the rest and has to fight hard for it. But store like this, that steps out in advance of the rest, distinguish es itself for better merchandise, gives better values, that is the one bound to build reputation for itself and get the confidence of the public. Ours IS the store where you'll find 1t pleas ure and profit to buy. Hawes' hats and Stein-Bloch clothing.

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
MIR HOOD OF SHELTON GIVES A FINE ADDRESS BEFORE THE MEMBERS OF PooTATUCK GRANGE.


 The members of Pootatuck Grange enjoyed an instructive and able ad- dress, Tuesday night, by w. D. Hood, superintendent of schools for Hunting. ton and Stratford. Among some Of the good points he emphasized were {. No school in any district will be bet ter than the parents of the children re- quire it shall be. Regularity and pune tuality of attendance-pay large diyl- dends. There ought to be public school sentiment in every town. Ey- cry school building ought to be a fit place to house children in. Of five sixths of the country schoolhouses in the state MT Hood had visited for the State Board of Education, he said the h honest and progressive man would not Keep a fine horse in them. The teach CT should make the school exercises at tractive. No school can do good work unless there is obedience on the part of the pupils. One urgent need of the day is for better qualified teachers, especially in the rural districts. MT Hood favored the taking of the certifi- cation ot school teachers out of local hands and placing the examining of teachers in the hands of the State Board of Education. Light refresh ments were served following the ad- dress.
