the minimum provided by the newly
enacted state law. This Is an advance
of $50. as the old licenses cost $3.50. The
law provides that If the city council
fails to take any action toward an in
crease within thirty days after the en-
actment OF the law that the price shall
be automatically fixed at 5000. The
Hammond city council availed itself of
the provision. and passed a resolution
to the effect that no action shall be
taken. Councilman Hover objected to
the resolution. and while he did not
explain his vote on the floor, he stated
to a TINES reporter after the meeting
that his object was to save an opening
fer the future so that if the council
should see fit to raise 1t in the future
ii could do so. Earlier in the even
ing. however City Attorney John A.
Gavit explained to the council that
whatever action would be taken within
the thirty days would stand as long as
the law stands. All the councilmen were
present with the exception of Messrs
Moriarity and Eastwood.
Little Business Transacted
There was little business before the
council Mayor Becker's resignation
was read and accepted and an or
dinance was passed amending the or
dinance which regulates the number of
electric crossing lights which the
Monon is to maintain and the manner
of operating them.
In his talk to the council. Mavor
Smalley commented on the fact that
during all the time that he has been
city controller working with two diff
ferent sets of councilmen not single
recommendation had been turned down
He expressed his pride over the fact
and in private conversation expressed
his doubt as to whether similar rec
ord exists in Indiana

Internal Revenue Returns

The liquor interests are making a good
deal of the report of the United States
internal revenue bureau indicating an
increase in the manufacture and con-
sumption of both distilled and spirituous
liquors for 1910 over that of 1909 and are
trying to make the public believe that
the restrictive excise legislation and
prohibition enactments were responsible
for the increase. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. The increase has
been in the wet states and especially
those containing the very large cities.
With one or two exceptions there is not
dry state or county in the United
States where the authorized statistics do
not show n decrease in the manufactur
and use of intoxicating liquors during the
year 1910 over that of 1909 The increase
in the manufacture of distilled liquors in
New York state alone in 1910 is three
times as large as the whole amount of
such liquors consumed by all the proh
bition states of the country in the year
1910. And the increase of the consump-
tion of beer in New York state alone in
1910 was an amount equal to two thirds
of all the beer consumed by all the pro-
hibition states i'm 1910.
\ good deal of the rum that was sold
in the prohibited territory during the
year was carried there under the pro-
visions of the interstate commerce law

Report OF Health officer.

Health Officer Henry Tucker reports
that for the year ending March 1, there
has been no serious epidemic. The most
impera tive need of Brattleboro Is hos
pital building for contagious diseases and
this need will become more urgent with
an increase of industrial population. The
progress in sanitation is steady, but
much still remains to be accomplished.
There has been some sewer extension
and more Is needed. The ventilation of
the Auditorium has been accomplished,
and the system installed can be extended
at small expense to include Festival hall.
The building should have vacuum
cleaning system for constant use. Brat
tleboro's water supply system has proved
to be ample under the very severe test of
the past winter and the quality is such
that it is perfectly safe for domestic use.
The milk supply is ample and the quality
considerably above the legal requirement.

1.-THE RED MILL"
Victor Herbert's Brilliant Comic opera
Coming to Auditorium Thursday Night
Outline Of the Story.

Outline Of the Story.
The comic opera success, 1.-THE Red
MILL" will be presented in the Auditori-
UNI next Thursday evening with strong
cast and chorus of 40, including the six
little Dutch Riddles The music of the
opera was written by Victor Herbert, one
of the very best American composers, and
it is repete with brilliant ensembles and
tuneful numbers. James Crawley as
Con Kidder" and William Moorse as
kid Conner" are two good comedians
and make hit at every performance.
Among the musical hits are you Can
Never Tell About Woman" "Go, While
the Coins Good " sung in the first act
and Every Day is Ladies Day with
Me-" Because You're You" and I'm Old
New York" in the second act.
THE Red Mill is in two acts. The
first depicts a square in the town of
Katwyk- aan-Zee, picturesque place on
the North Sea. The picture is absolute
ly correct and a duplication of an actual
scene. In the background is the great
practical red windmill with its slowly
sweeping sails, from which the play takes
its name and at one side Is n funny
little Dutch inn, which has an important
bearing on the story The second scene
shows a delft blue interior representing
the house of the Burgomaster. Both
these settings are typical of the artistic
distinction that characterizes all of Mar
tin e Emerys productions.
The plot reVolves around two stranded
Americans. They are unable for some
time to escape from the Dutch mill re-
gion because they are unable to pay their
board bill. In an effort to evade 1t, which
calls for n sensational sortie from a
gabled window, they are captured by the
burgomaster and put to work, one as a
waiter and the other as an interpreter.
| The burgomaster's daughter has a love
| affair with a young sailor, and when her
| father finds out about 1t he imprisons
| her in the old red mill, which has the
| reputation of being haunted. How tn
| two Americans rescue her from the mi
| is a spectacular development of the frs
| act. In the second act the two Amer
| cans, in their efforts to flee hard luck and
Holland, have to resort to various dis
| guises; the one having the most import
| ant bearing on the story being a wonder
! fully clever representation of Sherlock
| Holmes and DR.. Watson. In these char
acters they finally bring about a happy
| ending to the story.

1.-The House by the Side of the Road.

The House by the Side of the Road"
There are hermit souls that live with
drawn
In the peace of their self content:
There are souls, like stars, that dwell
apart,
In a fellowless armament;
There arc pioneer souls that blaze their
paths
Where highways never ram
But let me live by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side of the
road
Where the race of men go by
The men who are good and the men who
are bad,
AS good and as bad as l.
would not sit in the scorner's seat,
or hurl the cync,s ban
let me live in house by the side of the
road
Ana he friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of the
road
BY the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor Of
nope,
The men who are faint with the strife.
But | turn not away from their smiles
nor their tears
Both parts of an infinite plan
Let me live in my house by the side Of
the road.
And be a friend to man.
".
l know there are brook gladdened mead
ows ahead
And mountains of wearsome height:
That the road passes on through the
long afternoon
And stretches away to the night
But still rejoice when the travellers re-
joice,
And weep with the strangers that
moan,
Nor live in my house by the side of the
road
Like a man who dwells alone.
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road
Where the race of men go by
They are good they are bad, they are
weary, they are strong,
Wise. foolish-so am l.
Then why should l sit in the scorner's
seat,
Or hurl the cynic ban?--
Let me live in my house by the side Of
the road
And be a friend to man

Report of overseer of the Poor.

A glance at the expense account for

payers that in the future we can no
longer keep within our usual appropria
ton. Growth in population is sure to
bring more numerous demands and con-
sequently a steady increase in expenses
Destitutlon in families, sickness
deaths, quarantine cases and the expense
of supporting several patients at the Re
treat (Which by good rights should be
borne by the state) are conditions which
have been met during the past year.

upon the Mutual Aid association to fur
nish either helpers or nurses in many
cases. My observation has convinced me

the most troublesome symptom being a
sharp pain across my back and hips. If
/ took cold 1t settled in my kidneys and
working hard for a few days, my back
became very lame and sore and l was
hardly able to get about. During a Sc
we're attack of the trouble, l procured
Doans Kidney Pills and began using
them. The relieved me from the first and
in a short time the backache ceased,
During the lapse OF years there have

trouble. but at such times Doan's Kidney
Pills have always relieved me. I will be

Road Commissioners Report.

Road Commissioner d. T. Perry says
he paid nearly $1,000 of his predecessors
bills, in consequence of which he was COM
PEELED to strike off the slate some sorely
needed improvements. Enough expert
menting was done with road oil last season
to demonstrate that no better known means
can be used to eliminate the dust nuis-
ance in a practical way at a reasonable
expense. A little new tar walk was laid.
Mr.. Perry says: Il believe it should be
our policy to replace the tar walks with
cement as fast as renewals are necessary
The cement walk may cost more to build
but their longer and more satisfactory
service will prove to be better economy"
He calls attention to the poor condition
of Main and Elliot streets and the urgent
need OF a surfaced road on Western ave-
