Showing Here

The Corey Bros. Carnival company
is showing here this week, occupying
the space on lower Washington
avenue, completely blocking up that
avenue and partially blocking up main
street with their tents. Aside from
the ferris wheel and the merry-go-
round there is not much to the show.
The street is lined with different de-
vices such as doll and cane racks,
striking machines, shooting gallery
and other things bound to catch you
going and coming. There is also the
snake charmer, variety theatre and
moving picture show in connection
with the carnival.
1t is Washburn' $ first experience
with carnival company and it should
be the last. Shows of this kind dc
not tend to benefit town in the
least but on the contrary take lot OF
good money out of town. There is
way to put stop to shows of this
kind coming to the city by maxim
the license fee high enough to be
prOhibitive.

Woman Telephones That the Body of
a Child Was Thrown Into Vault
on Third
street.
NO GROUNDS FOR FEARS
investigation by Officers Does Not
Tend to Show that Infant's
Body Was Disposed Of
In Such Manner.

The police, this morning received a
telephone call from a woman, saying
that the body of newborn child had
been thrown into a vault in a house
that she had rented to colored people
on North Third street
She said that neighbors had COM
planned to her about the smell emanat.
ing from the vault and asked the of
icers to investigate the matter. Her
suspicious were founded on circum-
stantial evidence, mainly the fact that
colored woman had been seen going
into the building last Wednesday.
Chief OF Police Schevers and AS
sistant Chief Pearson went to the
house early this morning and investi-
gated the place. An object wrapped in
cloth was .seen at the bottom OF the
vault but the lights carried by the Of
fcers were not strong enough to de.
termine definitely what the object
was. They were inclined to believe
that 1t was a dead dog that someone
had thrown down there.
1t is possible that thorough inves
tigation will be made although 1t is
not likely. according to the officers
So far as they have been able te
learn, there is no reason to believe
that the object Is the body OF child
more than the fact that the woman
was seen to go into the place weel
ago.

osition of bringing the city hall ques-
ton to vote OF the people would be

ing this week.
Since the talk started several weeks
ago about building new municipal

been busy answering questions and
letters regarding the possibility OF the
erection of the structure.
This afternoon it was decided by
member of the board of commission
ers that the talk was worth serious
consideration and should be acted up
on at once. He intimated that he
would bring the question up sometime
this week, probably Friday morning.
He has been collecting data regarding
municipal buildings all over the coun-
try and will be able to present his
plans to the council in clear. con-
else manner. He says that he will
invite newspaper men to be present at
the meeting and also any citizens
who may be interested in the move
ment.
