Judge Brewster frowned. He did
not like the insinuation that he was

it might interfere with his emolu-

Tow voice, SO that no one in the outer
Office might hear, he said:

She laughed ironically.
You mean that my father-in-law
will give it," she said, lightly. Then
she went on:
You know it's no use your asking
me to copcede anything unless you
agree to defend Howard"
The lawyer shook his head

persistent young woman Almost
fretfully, he said:

TO START CEMETERY
IRRIGATION MONDAY

The campaign for the beautifica-
ton of Olney cemetery is to start
month earlies than last year, accord
ing to Chairman Dyer of the ceme-
terry committee who is anxious to have
all owners of lots in the cemetery to
Immediately make arrangements for
the usce of water
At a recent meeting of the council
the water fee for single lots was re-
duced from S4 to $4 per season though
the charge for the larger lots will re-
main at 81. This covers all expense
in connection with the work as the
irrigating will be done by the sexton.
Chairman Dyer reports that the
shade trees set out by the city last
year are all alive and are doing much
better even than expected. \ large
number of extra trees were ordered
at the time so that those which died
could be replaced but these proved
unnecessary as only a few of them
were used and the city still has a sur
plus.
The cemetery committee Of the
council is very anxious that local citi-
zens cooperate with them in their
efforts. They are desirous of starting
the irrigating season Monday.

Nesmith Ankcny. Strong Man.

Nesmith Ankeny of the First Ma
tional bank, played the part of the
strong man this morning when he
carried two sacks of silver coin,
weighing so pounds each from the
First National to the American Ma
uonal bank on the opposite corner.
The money was in halves, of which
the American National was temporar-
lily short or else the First National
overstocked. Suffice it to say that
an exchange was on and Ankeny was
the coin deliverer. After having de-
livered two sacks containing $1,000
each in half dollars, Ankeny return
ed for a second load. But this time
the sacks seemed even heavier than
on the first trip and so Max Hopper
was called into the game and given
one to carry.

and an order made strictly prohibiting
betting within the limits OF the sew
eral ball parks, and requiring each
club to pest notices in their grounds,

Hoping that you will see fit to take
