Small in Numbers, But
Lets Itself be Heard.

By vote of nearly four to one, the
taxpayers Of the union high school dis
trict last night directed the trustees
to purchase block AZ OF Churchilrs ad
ditiOn, just east of the block upon
which the present high school is To-
Gated. as a site for three other buildings
that are to be constructed TO accom-
modate the ever increasing number of
pupils.
A meeting Of the taxpayers had been
called by the board. in accordance with
law. to obtain an expression of their
opinion upon the proposed purchase.
While the attendance was not as large
as had been hoped for. that from the
country being very meager. those who
were present took a lively interest in
the proposition. There were two ele-
ments opposed to the sale. one being
those opposed to the purchase of any
more ground at this time and the 9TH
er in favor of removing the school to
some other location. ManS of the lat
ter voted for the purchase when the
final test came.
Judge c. r. Ainsworth was chosen
as chairman and Emory Kavs of the
board of trustees, acted as secretary.
Soon after the meeting was called to
order fuse blew out and the big as
sembly room was in darkness during
most Of the session.
Frank Trott presented a resolution
instructing the trustees to purchase
block 40 for $4,000 Discussion then
began. The first few speakers thought
that the taxpayers were practically
unanimous in favor of the resolution.

contained the following: Owner
Charley Murphy, who was here with
the Cubs is of the opinion that Ger
many Kaiser is good en- ough for the
big league this season and made sever
al offers towad getting the Blue Grass
League recruit. but Manager Howard
is in need of fast fielders and heavy
hitters and Germany will wear a To-
cal inform until the end of the pres
ent season. Kaiser showed up far bet
ter yesterday than at any time during
the spring training. He felded his
position in great style, despite the fact
that he dropped one, the wind carrying
1t almost out of reach. He made up
for it later in the game when he pick
ed long foul out of the left field
bleachers. He also hit one to deep
csnter that looked good for a triple,
but Artie Hoffman was too speedy and
managed to make connection with it. 4"

The report sent out from Paris to
the effect that in an effort to redu -e
expenses the sixteen saloons would
combine and establish three saloons in
different parts of the city seems to be
without foundation.
An investigation of the report yes
terday did not reveal a single saloon
keeper who had any kno ledge of any
attempt to perfect an organization of
this sort land it prob ably originated
fro the fact that when the saloon
license as increased from s2H5 to 81 900
a year ago, this movement was pro-
posed but met with much opposition by
several of the leading sal)on men.
Fifteen saloons will apply to the
Board of Council Oh Thursday. April
%. for license. The news dispat cb
sent out from Paris yesterday and
which appeared in the daily papers is
as follows:
1T is asid that the saloonkeepers of
Paris are planning a move to reduce
expenses, and that one of the first
steps in that direction will be with re-
gard to the nigh license now being i'm
posed on them by the city government.
Inc twenty-one saloons of Paris now
pay INTO the city treasury S21, 200, or
one-thlrd the amount collected for
necessary running expenses of the city
igovernment.
The plan talked of by the saloon
men will. if carried into effect greatly
reduce the city's revenue and be q
great saving to the liquor men. The
plan. in substance. is to only take out
three annual licenses. Three saloons
will be placed in three different sec
tions of the city. All the saloonists
now in business will be equal partners
in the three saloons and in this way
house tent. salaries and $4,000 ir
license will be saved. it is said tha,
the plan is receiving serious consider
alton from the liquor people"

 Orme did not attempt to conceal the contempt in his words. and several of the listeners moved in their chairs. be- traying their embarrassment
 Perhaps, then, MT Orme,' said the minister. you could favor us with a story which would show the attitude of an American in such flair.
 Orme laughed. Oddly enough, he replied, T can give you just such story-if you all care to hear it.
 "Go on" murmured one of the men.
 Tt happened to a friend of mine,' said Orme. "He had in his possess sion a number of proxies, the use of which would determine the control of a certain corporation. While he was carrying these proxies to the country house of the man to whom he was to deliver them, he was attacked by man who was acting for another fac tion. This man secured the advantage over my friend and, robbing him or the proxies. jumped into waiting motor car to make his escape.
 And did he escape?" the minister interrupted.
 He thought himself safe contin- ued Orme, but my friend had caught the back of the motor car just as 1t started He climbed silently into the tonneau. and throwing his arm around the neck of the thief. pulled him back ward from his seat.
 The car was ditched. and my friend and the thief were both thrown out.

FOrtifying Middle Life.

While the death rate of persons under 40 years of age has marked ly decreased since 1880. the death rate of persons over 40 years of age has markedly increased.
 Why2 One reason is that science has done comparatively littl against the no1-communieable dis eases. The medical science has nursed along weak constitutions which in earlier periods would have sueeumbed in infancy or adol- essence. and has carried then across the boundary of middle age. but has not been able to assure them ripe old age. A third reason. of course, is the increasing per plexity of life, which brings heavier burdens and stresses and over whelms some persons as soon as the impetus of their youthful vital ity is spent. A fourth reason is that people do not replenish this vitality and prepare for the pro- lens of middle life.
 There is really nothing cheaper than the attainment and perserva- tion of good health. Fresh air and sleep are natures free gifts. and bodily actively a normal impulse of the blood, while it costs less to eat frugally than to eat.-New York Mail.

 What happened then?" inquired the minister; for Orme had paused
 "Oh, my friend took the proxies from the thief's pocket and walked away. He stopped at the nearest farmhouse and sent help back
 Even in America" commented the minister, "the frien's of the injured man might see that his hurt was avenge The man who caused the ac- cident should be made to suffer
 "Oh. no" said Orme. If the matter were pressed at all, the correct thing to do would be to arrest the man with the broken leg. He had stolen the papers in the first place. Harm came to him, when he tried to escape with the papers after stealing them. But as matter of fact. the average American would consider the affair at an end"
 Your story and mrne are dissm- far remarked the minister.
 Perhaps. But they involve a simi- lar question: Whether a man should yield passively to power that ap- pears to be stronger than his own In America we do not yield passively unless we understand all the bearings of the case, and see that it is right to yield"
