Fine Display

One of the finest and most at
tractive show windows in the city,
is the large window in front OF the
store of Charles Fischer & Son Co.
on the north side of West Main
street, near the bridge. 1t is very
attractive, especially to the ladies,
who stop in passing the window
and express pleasure at the display
of fine things in the femininity line.

knife and so badly slashed that his
life is dispaired of. Earlier in the

1t Was a Mistake

The man who passed away sud-
denly at Jefferson during fair week,
was Henry Lauson of Depere, a
brother, and not John Lauson as
was published in the papers in this
city. John Lanson, who now re-
sides in Milwaukee, was resident
of this city for several years and
has many friends here who will be
glad to learn that he is still in the
land of the living.

wooden leg TO Slep llVely.
Mayor Reyburn of Philadelphia,
the owner of the record breaking
trotter Ed Bryan, told at a dinner
horse story.
A farmer visited phrenolo.
gist," he said. He had heard
that the phrenologist thought oi
buying a horse. He had his head
examined and his bumps revealed
surprising things.
Your tastes are the simple,
homely and pure tastes of farm
err said the phrenologist, and a
farmer | take you to be. Am |
not right? Aha, | thought So.
You are unready and faltering in
speech; you find it difficult to ex-
press the simplest ideas. You are
sadly deficient in judgment and
have no knowledge of human ma
ture.t Your innocent and trustful
disposition renders you an easy
dupe to designing men, and your
own perfect honesty prevents you
from either suspecting or defraud-
ing any one.
The phrenologist the following
week bought a horse from the farm
er. The horse was knock-kneed, !,
it was 25 years old, it had a bad
temper, and it baked. Though
the farmer had only paid SIS for
the animal, he secured without diff
fculty $3.50 from the phrenologist
for it.
It's wonderful, said the farm
er to himself, as he hastened to-
ward the bank to deposit the money
its jest wonderful that a man
should know so much about men
and not know a thing about
hosSes!'

For An Idle Moment

A party of friends were iollying
Marie about her sweetheart, when
one said: "Oh, | think he is a
weakened chap, anyhow. . Well,
you just don't know him as we'll as
| do; he amt a bit weakened, "
and then she blushed.
In the window of a little book
store in Eighth avenue, New York,
was recently heaped a great pile of
bibles, marked very low-never be-
fore were bibles offered at such a
bargain and above them all, in big
letters, was the inscription:

Bibles sold as low as these"

TREASURER
GOES TO
CITY HALL
viii Become License Collector
and Made Independent
of all Banks.

The ordinance committee (Moores,
Eldridge and Moffitt) reported ia
vorably on the Greenbaum ordinance
fixing the salary of the city treasur-
er at $50 per month, placing his of
flee in the city hall, and making him
city license collector.
What This Ordinance Means.
This IS one of four ordinances, all
tending to place the office OF city
treasurer on a better business basis,
and make 1t produce revenues. An
ordinance already passed declares
the three banks public repositories
for city funds. and II they accept the
funds of the city they are to pay two
per cent on daily balances. This is
the general custom In cities, and IL
that ordinance had been in force for
the past six months, when from $20,-
900 TO $4,000 have been lying in
the city banks, the interest would
have paid twice what the treasurer's
Office has cost. Under the new ordl-
nances the treasurer will be fur
nished a bond by the city, and be
made Independent to handle the city
funds from the standpoint OF the city
deriving all the revenue possible.
Bank Cannot BE Treasurer.
Mr.. Moores, in reporting the bill,
said one bank had offered to do all
the work for the city free OF ex-
pense, for what Il could make out of
the city funds. One bank was doing
that for the State Agricultural So
ciety, and handled all the state fair
funds without expense to the state.
The mayor ruled that, under the
charter, corporation could not be
city treasurer, as the people were re-
quired TO elect a treasurer. II bank
could AFFORD to hire a man to keep
the city treasurer's books, and at
tend TO all the city's business for the
use Of the funds, as many thousands
OF dollars of those funds were an
used from one end OF the year to the
other, such as Improvement funds TO
pay on bonds that were not mature.
After full discussion the ordinance
was unanimously passed.

LOSS OF DIAMOND
FATAL TO POULTRY


Redondo, Cal, June 22.-After
killing every member of HIS large
flock of turkeys and prize White
Leghorn chickens, and examining
their craws in the hope of recovering
$3.50 diamond he lost, William Cro-
min has come TO the conclusion that
one OF the sea gulls that frequent the
beach near his home gulped the gem,
and sailed away TO the coast of Hon
duras.
After moving his lawn yesterday
morning Cronin found that the gem
was missing from his ring. Imme-
diately he had every inch of the lawn
raked with combs and sifted the loose
soil, IL was not found.
A neighbor suggested that possi-
bly, a foraging hen had had picked
up the diamond, which led TO the sum
mary execution OF the Cronin hen
flock. still the valuable diamond is
missing. and the theory was ad-
yanced that one of the hundreds of
gulls that frequent that section of
.he beach had been attracted by the
sparkler, and had claimed IL for its
own, Cronin has not given up the
search.

Noise, Dust and smell

Last night, between rhe hours OF

Ground road were aroused by an al
most deafening noise of what ap-
peared to be a monster automobile
going north, but before windows
could be raised and heads poked out
10 see what the disturbance was,
nothing but a clond OF dust and the
smell OF burnt gasoline was left to
greet them. Ponderous, high-speed
racing cars make such a noise when
going at a good speed, and IL is
probable that some Portland racer
was out lat night warming up his
machine.
