been admitting colored men to the
place When witnesses gave the nau-

REFUSESTOISSUE
MANDAMUS WRIT
Judge E. G. Graves in Circuit
Court Denies Petition of
Oscar Billburg.
WANTED SALOON LICENSE
Discovery Made That Place Had Not
Been Used for Period Upwards
of Seven Months.

The petition of Oscar Billburg for a
writ of mandamus from the circuit
court to compel Mayor H. NJ. Schriver
TO issue a saloon permit for the Park
saloon on Twentieth street fell fiat TO-
day when il came to light that the
place had not been legally used as
saloon for a period of seven months
past. Under the city ordinance, when
saloon purposes, through any reason,
for a period of seven months, it be
comes necessary to secure a petition
of consent from adjoining property
owners before a license can be issued.
Inasmuch as the Park saloon license
was revoked Jan. l6 by order of the
mayor, it has not been legally a saloon
since that time. Therefore, before a
writ of mandamus is proper, the petit
TONERS will have to secure the consent
OF the property owners in the near vi
cinity.
FILES A DEMURRER.
In accordance with the direction of
Judge E. c. Graves yesterday, City At
torney J. F. Witter appeared in the
circuit court this morning and filed a
/ demurrer TO the petition of Oscar Bill
burg. The demurrer set forth that the
/ city ordinance did not require the is
suanCe of license upon request. but
merely authorized it, and that. there.
, fore the granting of ii is a judicial act
on the part of the mayor and one in
1 which he may use discretion. Mr.. Wit
ter held that it has been the practice
Of the court TO refuse to issue manda
muses. in such circumstances
Other exceptions in the demurrer
were that the money for the saloon
license was not in the city treasury
and that until it was the mayor could
not legally issue a license; that the de
mand. as made upon the mayor, &C
cording to the petition. was different
from the demand in the petition fol-
which a mandamus was sought; that
the issuance of a license under the
circumstances would be unlawful OIL
The part of the mayor, and lastly. that
the bill failed TO aver that a saloon
existed at the premises named in the
petition.
TAKES JUDICIAL NOTICE.
Following the argument of Mr. Wit
ter the court took up the petition anc
asked for information which resulted
in the discovery that the Park saloon
license had been revoked by the mayor
Jan. IS and that an injunction agains
its further operation had been issued

TRADITION

TRADITION, it is said, occasionally
hands down thepractical Arts with more
precision and fidelity than they can be
transmitted by book from generation to
generation, Webster.
TRADITION is hard obstacle for
some people to overcome.
Because an establishment, handling
JEwELRY, DIAMONDS, GOLD and
SILVER WARE, Etc, has always en-
deayored to dazzle the passersby with
brilliant array OF valuable articles, this
TRADITION is almost insurmountable |
to the Jewelry Merchant.
This tradition we bow to. We recog-
nize it. We are just completing front
to our house, No. 131 North Commerce
street, in which we believe our pride is
excusable.
But there is another TRADITION,
which we feel should be cast aside and
that DOCTRINE is the supposition that
exists in the minds of some that when q
Diamond or other valuable stone, or
Watch or other Jewelry is TO be pur-
chased; because some other firm "of the
old school, has previously served you,
that goods Of equal merit cannot be Sc
cured from younger and more up-to-date
dealers.
Our store is accessible to ALL-very
conveniently located-but situated 30 that
we do not feel obliged to add even q
"widow's Mite" in figuring our profit,
in order to pay large rental for our
building. Nevertheless, every article pur-
chased OF Us is guaranteed exactly ~
represented-and that guarantee Is backed
up in such manner as TO satisfy the most
exacting. Try us once and II we cannot
demonstrate to you that we can under.
sell others, giving you identical value,
then we won't expect second visit
BUT WE ARE CONFIDENT.
Now, there is an impression prevalent
among certain people that our Jewelr,
stock Is an adjunct to our Loan Depart
ment. We, as our name implies, con
duct loan business, but it is separate
II and distinct department from our bust
:, ness as Jewellers; and 1t is becaus'
e we are enabled, because Of unredeemes
pledges at times, to offer some most as
tonishing bargains TO our trade, that w
believe il to our interest and yours b
. continue the TWO DISTINCTLY SEPA
RATE DEPARTMENTS.
n Come in: inspect our stock; investigat
us--if satisfied with our merchandise
I land standing, then let US figure with yol
/ on your wants. We know We can salts
! lfy you.

society is today being held in this
city, and number of dentists from
neighboring cities are in attendance.
The morning session was held in the
offices of DR.. Siebecker and DIR. Kolter
in the Mckinley building. This con-
sisted largely of demonstrations in
both operative and prosthletic tech

and instructive, calling forth liberal
discussions. The dissemination of
knowledge in this way, while of little
interest to the general public, in
directly proves to be of great value
nevertheless. 1t admits Of the inter-
change of ideas, which tends toward
the general advancement of the
science and art. The regular business
session and election of officers is being
held at Rothschild park pavilion this
afternoon. This will be followed by

SAVE THE ROADS.

The past winter was one of the
hardest on roads, especially clay roads,
that we have had for many years.
The heavy and continuous fall rains
soaked up every particle of the soil
and Jack Frost later did the rest.
Road beds have been heaved out of
shape and the solid particles broken
into pieces, so that unless immediate
action is taken an entire rebuilding
viii be necessary, costing large sums
of money. There is however a simple,
inexpensive way of repairing the
damage. There is nothing that has
proved so effectual in road building
and maintenance than the use of the
split log road drag. Any man handy
with the ordinary cutting tools can
make one of these dragS within half
a day. All that it requires is any
sound piece of log split in two, fas-
tened together with two short ends of
chains, and fastened back a pair of
horses, you are ready for the job. Up
one side and down the other. back
and forth few times, always working
toward the center, and the muddier
the road the better. An application
of this after each rain will bring
about roadbed that is indestructible,
This method of road maintenance is
50 simple and inexpensive that there
is no excuse for not using it.
