COUNTY ATTORNEY STOPS GAM
BLING IN CIGAR STORES AND
ELSEWHERE.
CARD GAMES FOR TREATS
ARE NOW PROHIBITED
Question Raised As to Billiard and
Pool Games Where Loser Pays the
Bill-Point Will Be Carried to Courts
For Decision Other News of the
State.
,eclal to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Boone, July 1S,-The Cosson laws
have resulted in the lid being put on
Boone. Notice has been served by the
county attorney that playing cards to
see who pays for the cigars. or play
ing for prizes at social functions, Is
crime in the eyes of the law. There
is no change in the law, for any game
of chance whatever is defined as
gambling, and has been for long
time. The change comes in the neces-
sity of public peace officers taking
cognizance of all these things with a
view to upholdins the law. The Of
ticers are right up against 1t. They
must enforce the law, or stand a
chance of losing their official heads.
AS a result the cigar stores which
have allowed patrons to play a game
of seven-up to determine whose treat
it is have shut down on the practice
and customers win have to make a
mental bet, If they make any at all. to
decide who stands the treat There
ly game of Billiards. the loser to pay
for the game. The question IS. is such
practice gambling? Playing for
prizes has been decided to be illegal.
But in a game of billiards the player
gets no prize and while he is just as
liable to the proprietor for the price
of the game if he wins or loses, it is
the custom to let the loser pay 1t
will require a weighty decision from
the courts of last resort to settle this
important question.
Cigaret vendors in Boone have com
piled with the cigaret law and
closed out all their stocks. Card play
ing for the prize is now tabooed. On
some of the card houses the law will
work a hardship, but there is no relief.
Business is business from now on, and
all the little adjuncts which were en-
ployed to promote sales are gone the
way of the slot machine AS town
We are now awfully good.

The strap removed, the book opened easily. as if by force of habit, at the precise table he had wished to consult. Some previous client had left marker between the pages-and not an or dinary bookmark by any manner of means. Kirkwood gave utterance to a little gasp of amaZement and instinc- lively glanced up at the companion way to see if he were observed. He was not. but for safety's sake he moved farther back into the cabin and out of the range of vision of any one on deck-a precaution which was almost immediately justified by the dumping of heavy feet upon the steps as Stryker descended in pursuit of the ever essential drink.
 Find it?" he demanded. staring blindly with eyes not yet focused to the change from light to gloom at the young man. who was sitting with the guide open on his knees. tightly clinched fist resting on the transom at either side of him.
 In reply he received monosyllabic affirmative. Kirkwood did not look up.

To be sure. he was autocrat on his own ship. and Kirkwood's standing aboard was nil, but then there was just enough yellow in the complexion of Stryker's soul to incline him to Sidestep trouble whenever feasible. And, besides, he entertained dark suspicious of his guest-suspicions he scarce dared voice even to his inmost heart.
 The morning meal, therefore, passed off in constrained silence. The captain ate voraciously and vociferously. push ed back his chair and went on deck to relieve the mate.

MEASURING PARTY

The measuring social given by th, Epworth League at the reading room last evening was very well attended and after everyone had been duly measured the following excellent pro cram was rendered.:
 Solo-Star Spangled Banner Mr Buchanan, the audience ioinmg in the refrain.
 Prayer-Rev. Decker.
 Solo-Pilgrim of Love" MT Buchan' an.
 Solo-Pilgrim of Love, Mir. Buchanan
 Solo" One Called Mother, and the Other, Home, Sweet Home, " Mr. Kamstra.
 Trio-Misses Anna Egner, Ada Car will, and Lillie Kinsman.
 Reading Captain Molly, Miss Ada Lang.
 Duet-The Larboard Watch, Messrs, Buchanan and Taskes.
 Reading-The Volunteer Organst, Professor Smith.
 Professor Smith twice responded to encores with "The Calf on the Lawn, and Kentucky Philosophy. The trio by the Misses Egner, Carvill and Kins man was exceptionally fine. The young ladies are pupils of Miss Chapman and show the result of her excellent instruc- ton. All the vocal numbers were un- usually good and Miss Lang's patri otic selection was very appropriate, as it is so near the Fourth of July.
 Corresponding numbers had been given to ladies and gentlemen and af- ter the program each couple was given printed copy of " A Story in Rhyme" with the last word of each line missing. These were to be filled in and after much amusement the story was com pleted. After the story had been fin ished, refreshments, consisting of ice cream and cake, were served
