Meetings OF the executive, military.
decorating and illumination, lodgings,
naval display celebration Of French So
oictes. athletics, music, seats and stands
and publicity committees Of the local
tercentenary celebration committees
were held Tuesday afternoon and
evening. The object Of the meetings OF
the different committees was to arrange
for the official local program for the
week Of the Burlington celebration. The
reports of the committees were all graft
Tying inasmuch as they promised TO full
fiji all expectations and to have every
thing that has been advertised or that
has appeared in the press. It Is expect
ed that the details of the program will
ne made out by the latter part of this
week and that the official program will
appear next week The members of the
executive committee are anxious not to
have anything appear In the program or
press that shall not be really during
tho celebration. and during the
meetings Tuesday this fact was
impressed upon the minds of all present.
There seems to be varied opinions
locally as to the giving out Of licenses
for ground privileges for the sale of
food. soft drinks. etc. Any person will
be able to procure license. providing
his business IS satisfactory to the license
committee. and all licenses will have to
be given and sanctioned by the local
license committee. All money received
from such licenses will be turned over
to City Treasure Grant and will be kept
~ him until after the celebration.
LODGING ACCOMMODATIONS
A booklet containing classified list
of lodging accommodations within the
city of Burlington available for the use
OF visitors to the tercentenary celebra-
ton is expected from the press by
Thursday OF this week. This list Is be-
ing prepared by the executive commit
tee of the city commission for general
distributions and the booklet will contain
a street map of the city that will show
locations Of the accommodations class!-
fed. The list shows accommodations for
more than $500 dodgers and. these are in
addition to such privileges as tho citizens
Of Burlington will extend privately to
their guests. The prices for single lodg-
inss per night vary from 80 cents to s.
the larger number being at 81. These
q Communications are in all parts Of the
city but very large number are in the
desirable sections: in fact. the variety in
location and price Is such that people
or all tastes may he assured OF finding
satisfactory accommodations according
to their desires. This booklet may be
secured by addressing the secretary Of
he Burlington executive committee. c.

TWENTY PLUNkS FOR HOME
 RUN OVER BANK SIGN

Twenty hard iron dollars for the man who will knock fly over sign on the fence of the School Hill ball park! Homo runs should be coming in thick and fast from now on, for such is the offer that has been made by Cashier 4. G. Smith of the Globe National bank.
 The bank sign is almost directly back of second base and the batter who lines one over the fence will have to lift it pretty high. It will take a long drive with plenty of steam behind it to send the horsehide over the fence at the right espot. 5. ,~

MARTIN HOUSE WILL BE MOVED REAR
 IF BLOCK
PRELIMINARY WORK BEGUN LOOKING TO THE ERECTION
 or NEW THEATER.

While there has been some little de lay in beginning the demolition of the Martin house, on South Broad, prepara tory to erecting the new Empire tho ater, it is probable that this work viii be started next week.
 It has been necessary to do consid- erable work on the lot in the rear of the Iris, to which the Martin house is to be moved. A concrete wall is being built along the wash, to confne the water during the rainy season. This work has been completed on the south side and is well under way on the north side.
 Foundations for the Martin house. which is to be rebuil: oD the site Of Monty s" old cabin, are practically completed.
 The main delay in beginning the work of clearing off the lot for the new theater has been on account of Mr. Martins new house near the ball park not being ready for occupancy. This work is now complete and it is expected that the old house will be vacated early next week.
 As it is the intention of the Keith Theatcr company to have the new play house ready for occupancy by fall, DO time will be lost in carrying out tbe construction work.

Residents of South
 Side Sign Petition

Residents in the South and East Globe sections have manifested such a strong desire to enter the city, as is in dicated with the eagerness with which they have signed the annexation pc titions, that the success of this move mont is assured.
 J. II. Taught, who has been circulat- ing petitions throughout the district, stated last night that ninety-nine prop erty owners out of 100 had already signed, five moro were practically ready to attach their signatures and only five were unwilling to join in the movement to annex the south and east sections to the city.

Mir. Taught stated that there was some objection to the present widtf of sidewalks in the residence section by people interested in the apnexation movement. It was held that the space set apart for sidewalks should be one foot for each six feet of street, in stead of one in seven, as the resolu tions provide. The change was made by the council.
 With the signatures of practically all of the property owners already at. tached 10 the petitions, it is probable that tine annexation will be effected within a short time.

We now changed our working hours
from day to night, beginning usually AT
ten and ending at seven. The big marches
and prolonged hours If travel with which

was delayed and in strong blows the
march was shortened, but in one way OF
