MAYOR PRATT
ALSO DEMANDS
A UNION LABEL

William Matthews, the man who
quit his city job because his street
department badge did not bear the
union label. will go back to work
and will also wear the label as
soon as he can send back to New
Jersey and get it. II appears to
be necessary to send that far to
get the label printed on metal. The
job couldn't be done here.
Matthews had a talk with the
mayor this morning and the trou-
BILE has been all fixed up. While
the matter was under consideration
somebody present asked Matthews
If he had a union label on the
lodge pin he wore. whereat Mat
thews developed a sudden ten
dency to swat the interrogation.
But that isn't all of it. The dis
covery has been made that the city
stationery lacks the label. Mayor
Pratt is going to have the label on
the kind he uses. He didn't threat
en- to quit if he didn't get it. He
simply ordered it attached here
after.

To satisfy an insane craving for
liquor, though he was alread$ on
the verge of delirium tremens rom
the effects of q protracted 1pree,
George Walker eagerly drank two
ounces Of Walter Plippin's ear med
icine in the city Jail this morning
The prescription contained iOda-
form and q few other drugs, not
necessarily dangerous, put alto
gether out of place on the interior
OF a human system, ana its imme-.
date effect on Walker was some
thing similar to tobacco Juice on a
salmon fly.
He let out about two whoops that
resounded through the corridors of
the bastile and city hall like the.
cry Of an insane fan" and then ran
to the door of his cell bowling for

Jail, with his hands in the air and

with the doctor, as he was skidded
through police headquarters to the
hospital. A smell of the empty bot
tie was all the doctor had to go by.
That smell was bad, ana the stom-
ach pump, for which the patient
was reaching like a baby after
bottle, seemed to be the only sure
remedy. Walker thought it was
his only salvation and seized the
slender hose eagerly, but, try as he
might, he couldn't swallow it.
Things began to look grave, and
poor Walker was on the verge of
weeping and ready to sign the
pledge-anyway as far as ear medi-
cine goes-but they finally found
the prescription by which the stuff
was made, among Pilnppin's ef-
fects. 1t contained nothing real
dangerous and with many a sigh of
relief Walker swallowed somethin&
easier than a stomach pump. i.
Afterward he said: II got sol

new CURFEW
SHALL RING
COUNCIL AGREES TO PASS
ORDINANCE DRAWN BY THE
PROSECUTOR'S FIcE-
PLEADS FOR PERSONAL
LIBERTY,

After a heated debate Of nearly
an hour the city council last night
voted to suspend the rules and pass
the new curfew ordinance prepared
by the prosecuting attorneys Of
flee.
The final vote on the passage of
the ordinance stood: Ayes-Cart-
wright, Shaefer, Lambert, Mohr,
Ostrander. Nelson. No-Funk,
Schiller, Dalke.
Prosecutor Fred Pugh, Probation
Officer B. G. Peters and Thomas
H. Brewer of the Exchange bank
appeared and spoke for the or
dinance. Councilmen Shaefer, Os-
trander and Lambert led the fight
on the floor for the measure, while
it was attacked by Schiller and
Dalke.
Schiller made plea for more
personal liberty and said the peo-
pie had gone to an extreme in le-
gislation for the control of the con-
duct of others. He intimated that
the demand for the new rule came
largely from people without chill
dren. He painted picture of the
innocent rompings of the kids in
Occur d'Alene park until 10 p. M
Prosecutor Pugh replied to this
with vigor, citing a number of
laws that might be classed in the
same lines of regulation" as the
new curfew ordinance, yet were
generally admitted to be deserving
measures.
Officer Peters said that nearly
every case of the 60 boys and girls
consigned to correctional institu-
tons by the juvenile court of Spo-
kane county since the first of the
present year can be attributed to
parental neglect and permitting the
children to run at large at night
The new ordinance fixes the
hours at $3.50 in the winter and
$3.50 in the summer when boys and
girls under IS years caught alone
on the streets can be forced to
go home by the officer. The pen
atty attaches to the parents.

yet been made public this forenoon,
but the Flathead Ianos were ap-
praised at from s1.25 to $3.50 per
acre, and the other reservations

One-fifth of the fixed price of the
claim will have to be paid down.
On timber claims the balance can
be paid in annual instruments, five
years being required to acquire full
title to this class of property. Four
