was instructed to send cards to the
delinquent water taxpayers, request
ing them to pay up at once. This has
been done, but some of the consumers
have not complied With the instruc-
TONS Saturday is their last day Of

quent water tax will be assessed
against the property owner.

So far there has been about 90 taps
made to the main system, at rate of
$40 per tap, the village having derived
5000 from that source alone. The
amount of the water tax for the first

For Catarrh
Medicine Free in Every
Case Where 1t Fails to
Relieve

Neglect or pessimism we believe, is
the greatest enemy the public has to
contend with when applied to the loss
or recovery OF health. Practically
every case of consumption might have
been cured If hope had been maintain
ed and proper treatment had been re-
sorted to at the first symptom of the
disease. Until the advanced stage is
reached consumption is durable. Cat
arrh is responsible we believe, for
many cases OF consumption. 1t is about
catarrh we want TO talk to you today.

are so closely allied.
We have a medicine made from a
prescription of one OF the most sue

INDOOR BASEBALL TONIGHT.
c. o. r. VS.. Reserves and Militia
Versus the EIks.

Two more interesting games of in
door baseball in the league series VIII
be played this evening at Germania
hall and the growing interest in the
sport will undoubtedly result in a
greatly increased attendance. The
matches this evening will be between
the Catholic order of Foresters and
the Naval Reserves (and the Mill
tia and the Elks. The players are
getting down to work in earnest now
and the games played last week have
given a line on the abilities of the
various teams. The Hibernians have
made the best start, having won two
games, but the Elks and militia have
showed good material and an excit-
ing and interesting race for the

INDOOR BASEBALL LEAGUE.
South Range Towns Will Form Organ
ization This Evening.

A meeting will be held this evening
at South Range of delegates from
Painesdale, Baltic, South Range, At
lantic and Trimountain to organize an
indoor baseball league. The only dit-
ficulty that exists is that the five towns
cannot agree as to where the games
shall be played during the winter.
Trimountain, South Range and At
lantic each has hall of its own but
each would like to have all the games
of the league take place in the one hall.
In order to pacify the delegates from
the different locations. 1t Is now pro-
posed to have Atlantic play all It's
games at home. Painesdale and Tri-
mountain at Trimountain, and Baltic
and South Range at South Range. In
this manner the number OF games
played in each hall would be evenly
distributed.

LOOKED UPON AS P00RH0USE
Prejudice Of People with Regard to
Women's Hotels Is Hard to
Remove.

A resident of woman's hotel met
many people while away on her sum-
mer vacation. For several weeks after
her return her mail was swelled by
dozens of post cards from those new
acquaintances. One day another
boarder noticed that all those cards
were addressed to the house number
instead of to the hotel
why do you avoid our honored
manner" she asked.
Because | don't want people to
think / am a pauper," said the vaca-
Zionist. EARLY in the summer found
out that the name of this hotel has
travelled far, and that everywhere II Is
regarded as kind of charitable insti-
tuition. 1t is that way with all hotels
run for women only. You might shout
facts and figures at strangers until
you were hoarse and you could never
convince them that such places are
run on a paying basis. Everywhere
the impression prevails that a wom-
ans hotel is refuge for the down and
out. During the summer ! met girls
who live In women's hotels in Bos-
ton, Chicago and elsewhere. In the be-
ginning they, like myself. guilelessly
mentioned the name of their hotels,
but soon they learned to keep II a
guilty secret and to give their house
number only. simply because they
couldn't stand IL to be looked upon as
escaped inmates from a poorhouse.

evident-to enjoy the privileges of the
