It, not because 1t brings them any
particular benefit, but merely be-
cause they are accustomed to 1t.
From the point of view Of the cit
izen and the traveller, billboards are
an unqualified nuisance. What they
need is not so much regulation as
abatement, 1t would be a pity for
the city to form the habit of drawing
revenue from them, since a financial
argument for retaining them would
thus arise, which might prolong their
undesirable existence. In the most
progressive cities OF the country, the
definite purpose In taxing billboards
Is to cause them to disappear"

WIDE AWAKE ADVERTISERS.

Some Of the big churches In great
cities are run on broad business
lines and II has been demonstrated
that II takes not only large mem
and large congregation to
support church. When the crowds
no longer attend place of worship
the finances run low and the bur
den becomes heavy on the faithful.
To restore conditions of prosperity,
newspaper advertising is resorted to
In many Of our cities. A Saturday
evening and Sunday morning paper
tells Of the intellectual feast which
Will be served at certain, churches
and the people naturally are attract
ed, especially visiting church mem
bors and these quite often become at
tached to the church. The news
paper has become the great engine
Of civilization and those churches
who do not use them must of neces.
sty fall behind in the race.
A dispatch from Chicago reports
as follows;
Hustle and advertising pay in
business, and ! don't see why they
should not help out in enlargine
church membershlp--results show Il
anyway" So said St. Lawrence
Chaidlor, member of the South Park

mont for lonely Christians wanted

vertlsement, but most ct them show

case he would not have been rob
bed.
In any event, 1t is believed that
Crump knows far more than he cares
to tell, and that IL there Is a woman
in the case he intends to shield her
from public knowledge. 1t may be
that in his present condition, with
a bullet in his head, he is not ac-
countable for all his statements, but
the fact that he has retained con-
sciousness from the first goes far
to disproye this theory,
Harvey Crump has always been
considered by those acquainted with
him as n young man Of good charac-
ter and industrious habits. He is
a blacksmith by trade and before this
unfortunate affair was employed in
the different shops here. He work
ed for some time in the Cook &
Roach blacksmith shop and is well
spoken OF by them His relatives
reside at Jacksonville. While his con-
dltlon is critical, II Is the opinion OF
the physicians that he will recover.
The right eye, near which the bullet
entered, is resummg its normal con-
dltIon, and he will not lose the sight,
as was at first feared, unless untore-
seen complications set In.
A later report from the hospital
this Friday morning is to the effect
that Crump did not rest well last
night and his condition Is more seri-
Gus today, An operation for the ex-
traction OF the bullet will be per-
formed at the South Pacific hospital
this afternoon.

This shooting affair, followed so
closely in the wake of the Crump
case, has created widespread excite
ment in this city and county, and
both cases are being watched closely
for any new developments. Jose
phlne county is making a record in
the criminal line unparalleled in all
her preceding history. The Mcclure
case will probably come to trial In
the next term of court, but in the
Crump case there is no evidence to
warrant an arrest, and whoever did

the time being at least.

BrandeiS Theater
Opens in March
Matter Of Securing Attraction is Now
the Only Point to Be
Decided.

TIL new Brandeis theater will be opened
the first week in March. This decision
was reached yesterday afternoon and will
be adhered to without swervtng. There is
no uncertainty that the theater will be
ready by that time. What attraction will
open the playhouse will be determined
within a day or two.
A conference was held yesterday after
noon between w. j. Burgess and o. d.
Woodward, the lessees, and A. d. Brandeis
and Emil Brandeis of the building com
pany, and the vote that the theater ought
to be opened during this theatrical year
was unanimous.
1t Is now simply a question OF securing
the opening attraction and the wires are
being kept hot over the matter. The date
Of opening win depend upon this consider
alton, but It is certain that il will be be-
tween March l and 10.
'"The contracting company assures us
without the least qualification that the
theater will be ready March L." said Mr..
Burgess last evening, Everything is done
except part OF the decorating and the in
stailing Q" the seats. The latter have been
shipped and the decorators ask only twenty
days"
The decision not to wait until fall to
open the theater was reached because ii
was felt that the public has been expect
ing to have the new playhouse open this
theatrical year and would be disappointed
II this is not the case.
