ROYAL CAFE CLOSED
Popular Eating House Has Sus-
pended Business.

The Royal Cafe, No. 211 South Mar
ket street, closed its doors at six
o'clock Monday evening and discon-
tinued business after more than de-
cade of successful business under sew
|eral proprietors. The room will soon
be re-occupied.
William Rose, the proprietor of the
health of Mrs. Rose, who has been
actively engaged in part management
of the place, together with the UNI
Iprecedented high prices of meats and
commodities, food stuffs, etc., and the
fact that there seemed to be no pros
poets for an immediate betterment of
existing conditions, or before his
present lease would expire, he did not
deem it expedient or desirable to con
tinue the business.
The building, which occupies a fine
location, will not long remain idle. as
the OWNER w. o. Nugent, has already
had several applications for lease
of the property.
The Royal Cafe was established by
Frank Eisiminger something over ten
years ago. Carl Blattner and num-
Der of owners figured in the operation
of the place with varying degrees of
success. Then came ]. B. Doll, who,
with his experience and personal man
lagement of the business gave Oska-
loosa model short order and eating
house. Mr.. Doll sold to Harry Morey
of the Lacey hotel management, who
operated the place for term OF
months. Mr. Morey sold the building
and the business to w. o. Nugent, who
now owns the property. Mr.. Nugent
leased the place to William Rose and
wife and they have operated the
place since the latter part of last
lyear.
The Roses made a popular place of
the restaurant and a host of friends
regret to learn of the discontinue
ance of the place.

The writer and his better half do not

mine Is being rapidly developed the
last few weeks and one more entry
was started this week, going south.

What is the matter with politics
at the present time We have not had
a handshake or smile from anyone
seeking an office, which is something
unusual for a campaign. The writer
has known people to sleep on their
time, so we want to see things warm
up locally pretty soon, as we never
believe in taking chances in politics
Trusting to Providence is very good
at times, but the writer has found he
couldn't live on it, as the Lord helps
those who help themselves. So take
note.
