methods of one may be seriously ques.

newspaper through which to defend
himself and offend his opponent. The
other has his record as a public Of

other with which to do battle in the
cause of better government and a
continuation of the favors he now
enjoys. We fear the man with the
newspaper labors under a serious II
not fatal handicap, Newspaper argu-
ment and affirmation may be replied
to in kind while a free and untram-
meled press continues to invite a full

Government Bureaus VIII Issue infor-
nation in Revised Form.
A new commercial weather map is
about to replace the familiar reddish
brown production of the local weather
bureaus, as displayed in elevators and
public buildings. The new map will
be seen by thousands where only hun.
dreds saw the old map. 1t will carry
only practical and essential informa-
ton, and that this will be indicated in
such clear and concise fashion as to
be Ineligible to everyone.
The new map is to be published in
newspapers throughout the country
daily. and if it proves the success
that the weather bureau anticipates
it is likely that the former style OF
map will be discontinued altogether.
The improved map, as outlined by
Willis L. Moore, head of the weather
department at Washington, will show
the state of the weather, the direction
of the wind, the temperature and the
rainfall for the preceding twenty-foul
hours. For coast and lake points il

A great improvement in the eyes OF
the general public will be the entire
omission of the isObars, which are the
lines showing equal barometric pres
sure, and the printing of but four iso
thermal lines that show equal temper
atures. One line will show the aero
of zero, one will show where the Their
mometer stands at freezing, another
will show where the temperature is
80 degrees and fourth will show the
zone that boasts temperature of 100
degrees. The names will be omitted
from the city points, and the whole
map, Just the width of three newspa
per columns, will present a clean ant
legible appearance.
A lettered legend at one side will
contain the forecast and whatever spe
cial bulletin the local bureau may wisf
to announce. In print, below the map
will be the reports from the variou:

Covington in 1887. Last May in the
United states federal court Judge T
G. Munger gave decision against the
district, basing it upon the fact that
the owner of the bonds, Edward Che.
pal of New York city was an innocent
purchaser and did not know of the ir.
regularities connected with their is
suance.
If the case is finally settled against
district No. II new bonds will be is
sued and a sinking fund created, from
which the debt will be paid on the
easy payment plan.
The school board has one more
chance to free the district from this
debt and that is to prove that these
are not the originals. 1t is thought
that the original bonds were burned
some time ago and II that can be es
tablished those now in court are in
valid and will not have to be paid.

COUNTY PRINTING SETTLED
Commissioners Name Number of
Papers as Official Organs.

The Norfolk Daily News, the Norfolk
Weekly News-Journal, the Madison
Star-Mail, the Madison Chronicle, the
Madison Post, the Battle Creek Enter
prise, the Tilden Citizen and the New
man Grove Reporter were named as
official papers of Madison county at
the meeting OF the board of county
commissioners held in Madison yester-
day, each paper to be paid on the ba-
sis of it's circulation as shown by
sworn statement of circulation filed
with the county clerk.
This settles controversy that has
been running since the first of the
year and is the fairest, most business
like proposition that has been consid-
cred in connection with the county
publishing, as each paper receives just
compensation for the service it rem
ders the county. In years gone by,
the county business has been appor-
toned to various papers without re-
gard to the number of readers reached
and all received the same pay, while
the present plan reduces the matter
| to a business proposition and the Coun-
ty pays for service actually rendered
the same as any general advertiser.
Under this plan the paper that has a
circulation of 1000 receives twice as
much as the paper that only reaches
500 readers, which will be admitted
by every fair minded person is the
only just and equitable manner of ex-
pending public money.
When the matter came up for settle.

board, all propositions which had been

LAMBS LIKE TROLLING POOL"
In the New Game No Cues Are Used
Shooting Done With the Fingers.

New York, March 2.-"Rolling pool
is all the rage at the Lambs club now
1t has captivated the actors to such
a degree that they swarm in the bill
lard room at all hours and overrun
the tables where the new game is un-
der way. 1t is great game, too. A
series of concentric arcs are chalked
on the pool table, radiating out from
one o. the corner pockets. The shoot
ing is done with the fingers, and the
ball must strike at least three cush-
ions, come back on diagonal across
the table and land either in the pocket
or inside one of the arcs. A pocket
shot counts so much, ball stopping
in the chalk lines so much, according
TO distance from the pocket, and ball
reposing outside the charmed area de-
ducts from the score, as does also a
ball landing in any pocket except the
proper one.
