We have applied for one of the
State Circulating Libraries. This
will be IA great benefit to us as our

We are glad to announce this

There is much discussion
among citizens of the town in re-
gard to the street lighting pro-
position. If The News has it's
way the system of street light
ing in use at Fowler will be used.
The lamps themselves are less
expensive, give an even distribu-
ton of light and furnish light to
a greater number of streets
than where arc lights are used.
When Meade is able to place an
arc light on every corner, and
not until then, would it be policy
to use this style of light. And
we are going to have street lights.
We would be "back woodsv"
sure enough with a light plant
in town and no street lights.

Lyceunl Course

Another treat is promised for
Decem Der 10, Hal Merton Magi-
clan, Ventriloq uist and Enter
tainer appearing as the fourth
number of the Lyceum Course.
This class of entertainment is
always popular and Hal Merton
is leader in the art, for such it
must undoubtedly be called.
The following is synopsis of
the performance:
Upon brilliantly lighted platform, with
arms barred to the elbows, Mr.. Merton will
demonstrate to the satisfaction of all that it
is not only possible for an article to be in
I two places at the same time, but that it is
equally possible that it may be nowhere at all.
Solid articles, eggs, billiard balls, flowers,
and handkerchiefs appear at his finger tips
and having served to amuse, vanish as mys-
teriousy as they came, reappearng at COM
mand in the most unexpected places, a Dor
rowed hat plays a most important part in the
evolutions of tumbler. ladies' rings develop
most astonishing powers, a gentleman's
watch figures in series of startling surprises,
silver bands become endowed with more
than real life and many of the most pulling
demonstrations of the 'Hindoo netromancers
are duplicated for the first time upon the
Lyceum platform. The Bouquet of Mystical
Novelties concludes with series of Iaughable
feats in the pleasing and ever popular art of
ventrloquism in which the famous blockhead
''Joe" will take most important part"

DENTISTS

In our practice we find
the proper care of children's
teeth the most perplexing
question in all our. work.
That is the care they should
have to prevent decay and
malacclusion. To take the
child first to one and then
to another dentist is bad
practice. They should be
under the care of one good
dentist, and not different
ones.
Where it is necessary to
extract the temporary teeth
to admit the permanent
ones, it should be done with
great precaution.
Too many temporary teeth
should not be extracted at
one time, leaving the mouth
too sore, or without teeth to
chew the food. Some den
fists think it is the proper
thing to begin and take the
entire number out while the
child is in the office and in
the notion, which is entirely
wrong. Only have the badly
crowded and the ones above
the flushed or swollen gums,
which is sign Of the new
tooth wanting to come
through.
1t is quite advisable to fill
temporary teeth with some
soft, easy inserted filling, in
order to retain them until
the new tooth asks admit

ARREST AS THIEF

NEW YORK, Dec. 12-Miss
Alice Smith, 10 years old, of No.
10k Golden street, Jersey City,
and John ]. Dolan, will not be mar
ried as they had expected, because
young Dolan has been arrested,
charged with the larceny of a
watch, which he had given Miss
Smith as a wedding present.
Miss Smith called on Mrs. Bar.
bara DINNERS of 300 Grand street,
Jersey City. to ask Mrs. DINNERS
to be guest at the wedding. Then
she showed Mrs. DINNERS the
watch Dolan had given her.
THAT'S the watch that was stolen
from me-" exclaimed Mrs. Dim
mers. When Dolan next called at
Miss Smiths house a policeman
was waiting for him. A watch
found on Dolan after his arrest was
identified by Miss Smith as her
property.
Doian swore that he had bought
the pawn tickets for the watches
and redeemed them. He gave the
police the name of the man from
whom he bought the tickets.

liams could secure for them. The
effect Of the report will be to rob
those orphans and waits of that
pleasure exactly in proportion as
its smisleading statements are ac-
cepted by the public and co-opera-
ton withheld.
Several weeks ago woman's or
ganization had decided to give a
benefit for the home. Hardly had
the arrangement been made when
George Armstrong, president of the
board of public works, broke loose
with a declaration that he would
put the home out Of business. He
did this in the face of non-con-
demnatory report on the home from
a committee of doctors that in
spected the buildings. Lately one
of the city inspectors went to the
home, pretended to examine the
heating appliances and served no.
tice that it must be fixed. A heat
ing appliance mechanic was sent
for by Mrs. Dey. He went over the
pipes carefully and stated that
there was nothing for him to do.

Is the reason it is always crowded

brought the gas company to time In
the matter Of compensating the
people long ago. But Pratt is the
friend of the gas outfit. because he
helped to pass the Roger Williams

Mayor Boyd, and 1t naturally could
not be expected that he would try
to enforce the ordinance providing
for the per cent franchise tax.
HOW THEY PAY.
Inquiry was made at the office
of the city comptroller as to the
payments received by the city on
the two gas franchises. The rec
ords show that the franchise tax
has been collected every year on
the first or original gas franchise,

nance A1162. This is at the rate
of l per cent per annum on the
gross earnings. 1t is found that
the affidavit for the tax for 1909,
made by A. N. Cantril, manager
for the Doherty syndicate, is based
ON the net" earnings. The ordi-
nance requires l per cent of the

mo MORE SALOON
| LICENSES

Spokane saloon keepers who
have their licenses tucked away in
safe places had better hang on to
them. Saloon licenses are likely to
be in lively demand this next 10
years. An ordinance passed by the
council two years ago states that
as soon as the proportion of one
saloon to every 500 inhabitants has
been reached, more lisenses shall
be issued until 1000 additional in
habitants have been registered. In
other words, until the next census
no more licenses will be issued un-
less some one goes out of business.
Hotel men, however, may provide
a bar for their patrons If they have
over so rooms. Spokane now has
243 saloons, and her official popu-
lation is 100000 Inhabitants, so that
the city already has more than the
specified number of dispensaries.
