port that Ezra Higgins got five hum
bred and forty-three letters in the mail
spread through the village like Wild

were not alone in their appreciation
of this unique rattle. Letters were
pouring in from all over the country.
Ezra Higgins saw his financial trou-
bles vanishing. But the coupons must
be numbered, and returned to the
senders. This job grew irksome, and
he called the Office boy.

DO them all like this one, put them in
the envelopes. and mail them"
Alas! Jim did not quite get the
idea. He numbered every one Of those
coupons 109.
When the day of the rattle arrived
the receipts amounted to nine hundred
and eighty-seven dollars. Up TO this
time Higgins had given little thought
to the end Of the matter, but now he
began to feel uneasy.

forms coming up the street. Tall and

gay damsels with fiuttering ribbons,
faded women in Widows weeds. even
one black beauty in gorgeous plaid

OWNER WOULD

The effort of the Y w. C.
A. to buy the old Savoy theatre
for home is not meeting with
any success. The owner of the
property lives in the east and he
utterly refuses to answer any let
ters on the proposition, according
to Mayor Seymour.
The Y. w. c. A. has offered
$4,000 for the property.
When the board of equaliza-
ton met the owner appeared, and
on representing that the property
was non-productive and unstable
he got the tax valuation reduced
to SIS, 200. The building alone
cost $4,000. Now he is just
holding it and will do nothing
with it.
The city commission will see
to it next year that the tax is put
where it will be an item and pos
sibly the owner will be willing to
let go then and allow the I'M
pro7ement of the place.

1903 PRECINCTS

The arrangement of city pre-
cincts made by City Clerk Ed
wards was approved by the coun-
ell this morning, and as soon as
the ordinance is passed there will

This will make elections cost
