MANY COMPLAIN TO MAYOR.
Mayor johnson Presents Plants of
Citizens to Council.

At the council meeting Tuesday
evening Mayor Johnson presented
the complaints of number of citi-
zens regarding certain things about
which they were not satisfied.
These included the condition of
the sidewalk on Fifth street between

streets, and Of private sewer emp
tying onto Harrison street. In the
latter case the water superintendent
was instructed to look up and see if
the sewer in that district had been
in the necessary six months, and if
so to compel the owner of the pri-
vate sewer to connect up with the
city sewer. A complaint was also
made as to party having piled
wood on city park in the east end
of the city. In this connection
Street Commissioner Fraley said the
wood had been ordered removed at
once.
The other complaints we're re-
ferred to the appropriate commit
tees.

WHAT ARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION IS DOING
Resume Of the Works and Objects Of the ASSOca
tiOnS in Ashland and Elsewhere

Secured the passage of the depend
ent widows bill in Oregon.
The field secretary of the Pennsyl-
vania State Parenu-Teacher Associa-
tiop writes of a meeting in one of
the large cities of that state. II
have never heard a finer discussion
of the essential needs of a commun-
ity and the Specification to me, a
stranger guest, was that most of the
problems encountered by the social
worker. the church, the business
man, the lawyer and doctor, were
those created by the negligent and
ignorant home, and that the greatest
and most practical method known
for the solution CT these problems
was the Parent-Teacher Association"
Two circles of the association have
been formed in thi stown, one for
the east side and another for the
west side, which hold their meetings
the first Monday in each month at
4:30 p. m. in their respective build
ings. Those who attend show live
ly interest in school and home prob
lens and much is being done toward
solving both; but much more could
be done if more parents We're inter-
ested and would come out and help
and be helped, at these meetings.
The teachers are giving of their best,
both in time and in thought, to the
association. Do not you, fathers and
mothers, have as much interest in
the welfare of your children as their
teachers have? Is there any work
in which you are engaged which is
of greater importance, or which will
give larger returns financially and
morally, than the conservation and
improvement of your children and
those of your neighbors? Is not this
civic Improvement in its broadcast
sense?

The Annie,

Scandinavian legends affirm that the
apple was the favorite food of the gods.
1t was one of the first fruits grown by
the Romans; it was early introduced
into England and brought from there to
America. 1t is easily cultivated, bears
fruit farther north than almost any
other, and by means of grating almost
1000 varieties have been produced.
These facts show in part why the ap-

A FIRE HOUSE ROMANCE.
The Old Horse Did His Part, but the
Old Chief Weakened.

Not long ago a fire horse was brought
in from the farm, horse thirty-six
years old, that had not had harness
on his back for eleven years. This
horse used to pull the chiefs wagon.
He had the faculty of getting under
the shafts quicker than ever any horse
did that stood on four feet. He never
made mistake, never a false move.
By the time the driver was in the wag-
on the horse was ready TO go, and
when he went he went on the high
speed. So behold the old horse brought
in from the country witnessing again
the frills and frivols of the city.
The horse was barefooted, his name.
tail and fetlOcks grown out long and
shaggy. The fire laddies went to work
cleaning him up with loving caress.
The old red wagon of the chief was
brought out. The shafts were lifted in
the air with the harness hanging. The
horse was standing, loose, 200 feet
away.
At signal the gong was sounded.
and like fash of light the old veteran
leaped for the shafts. A fireman snap
ped the harness into place. The old
fire chief watched the whole perform
ance, intending to spring into the wag.
on, provided the horse had not forgot
ten his cue.
Th horse knew how to do it; but,
alas. the venerable chief, now grown
gray, merely stumbled and tumbled for
ward, threw his arms around the old
horses neck, burst into tears and cried
like a baby.-Blacksmith and Wheel

be Imprisoned for Violation
of U. S. Laws.

Cincinnati Ohio, Feb. 17.-Presi-
dent John H. Patterson of the Ma
tiOnal Cash Register Company was
sentenced to serve one year in the
county Jail at Troy, Ohio, and pay a
fine of $1,000 for violation of the
Sherman antitrust law Twenty
eight other officials and employees of
the company were given Jail sem
tences, varying from three months
10 one year, and were ordered to pay
the costs of prosecution.
Sentences were pronounced after
United States Judge Hollister had
scored the defendants bitterly for
their business methods, which he de-
elared were needless in a concern
where millions could have been legit-
imately made and without violation
of the law.
A motion was made for the arrest

Sherman law was unconstitutional
IN SO far as it attempts to create Of
lenses and impose penalties.
The motion also charged a viola.

ecutions the accused shall enjoy the
right to be informed of the nature

CAFES IN BRAZIL.
With a Glimpse of Rio de Janeiro's
Twenty Foot Wide Broadway.

Downtown in the commercial part of
Rio de Janeiro is the noisy, vivacious
Rua do OuvidOr, of all things Rio de
Janeiran the one that possesses the
most individuality, the place where
everybody who is anybody is to be
seen.
1t is only about twenty feet wide
Just think of 1.-THE Broadway of a
great city like Rioi-so narrow and
crowded that vehicles are not allowed
to GO through at certain hours of the
day, but most of the somber Portu-
guese style buildings have been re-
placed by modern ones. and what it
lacks in width is compensated for by
the attractiveneSs of tile stores and
cafes.
These cafes, principally devoted to
the service of the demitasse, are every
where in Brazil, but here particularly
they are the rendezvous for the official,
military, professional and more pros
porous commercial classes, who drop in
at all hours TO talk things over to the
music of the orchestra-everythin
from business, religion and politics to
the idlest society gossip, only they sip
coffee, for the most part. instead Of
highballs and beer.
And such coffee! A North American
never realizes what perfectly delecta-

BEYOND THE TOMB.
Victor Hugo's Views on the lmmor-
tality of the Soul.

Victor Hugo's Views on the lmmor-
taity of the Soul.
Victor Hugos opinion on the question
of life beyond the grave was remark
able one. The great Frenchman was
firmly convinced that he would meet
all his friends in Il future world. He
was equally sure that he had always
existed from the antediluvian times,
when the Creator placed him on earth.
He believed that he would exist for
ever. inasmuch as he felt in his soul
thousands of hymns, dramas and pO-
ems that had never found expression.
When the atheists would say to him,
the future is that you did not exist in
the past" Hugo would answer:
"Who told you l did not exist in the
past centuries? You will say that is
the legend of the ages. The poet has
written, Life is fairy tale twice writ
ten He might have said thousand
times written. You do not believe In
the doctrine of surviving personalities
for the reason that you do not recollect
your anterior existence. But how can
the recollection of vanished ages re-
main imprinted on your memory when
you do not remember thousand and
one scenes and events of your present
life? Since 1902 there have been ten
Victor Hugos in me. Do you think
that l can recall all their actions and
all their thoughts?
1.-The tomb is dark, and when I shall
have passed the tomb to emerge into
light once more all these Victor Hugos
/ will be almost wholly strangers to me-
| but it will always be the same soul"

LIVE STOCK SHOW
At GREENV[LE
First Undertaking Ever
Held Proving to Be
Successful


Greenville, October 16.-(Special) But
Ter county's first stock show opened this
morning in Greenville.
Gen. j. B. Stanley. editor of the Green
Vile Advocate, some months ago i'm
pressed the business men and farmers
of the county the need of the show and
plans were at once begun for it. 1t is the
first stock show ever held in Greenville,
and it is being a complete success. On
exhibit there are colts. horses, mules,
calls, cows, sheep, all species of poultry,
pigs and hogs.
The purpose of the show is to cause
more interest in stock raising and from
indications it will come up to what has
been expected along this line. The far
mers who never have raised in stock can
be heard to ask questions about the in
dustry and they intimate that they, too,
will throw their attention to stock rails
ing. The climatic conditions and the soil
conditions in Butler county are equal to
any southern county in raising stock.
The managers of the show are Messrs.
Amerine, ]. J. Mcbride, S. d. Barganier
and j. H. Dunklin. The judges are
Messrs. Cliff Barge, Ashley Mcqueen and
j. f. Helms. The judging of the entries
will be commenced this afternoon.

HOLLAND SPECULATES ON TES-
TIMONY OF WALL STREET
BANK ERS BEFORE SENATE
COMMITTEE
BY HOLLAND

New York, October 16.-(Special)- )-Jo-
saph G. Cannon of New York, president
of one of the great banks of the United
States, has for some years been regarded
as perhaps the ablest authority upon the
clearing house systems of the United
States. as he also is profoundly versed
in the history of the evolution of the New
York Clearing House association from its
establishment so years ago to the present
day.
Mr.. Cannon is also recognized as a stu
dent of the theory and principles upon
which sound banking and currency rest,
and his development of one of the great
American banks proves also that he is a
practical banker whose achievements
rank him in the list of the very able
American bankers.
Mr.. Cannon's testimony, therefore, be-
fore the Senate committee on banking
and currency last week has been read
with especial care. 1t was found that at
The beginning he revealed himself as be-.
ing on one important point in perfect ac-
cord with President Frank A. Vanderlip
of the National City bank, who testified
10 few days earlier. Mr.. Cannon, like Mr..
IVanderlip. made it clear to the committee
that at least two of the great banks in
ahe Wall street district cannot justly be
accused of such hostility to the pending
banking and currency bill as would tempt
sthem to inspire the so-called country
jbankers of the United States with like
Ehostiity and to express that feeling by a
jpractically unanimous vote.
The Bankers Agree

presidents is all the more impressive be-

The Other Agitation

Then, too, there were the agitations be-
gun several years ago by an association
OF American business men; The members
of this association were not bankers. They
were merchants or manufacturers, and the
list of members contained the names of
some of the ablest intellectual forces in
American life They have been agitating
upon the platform by addresses and by
publications, until at last they also stim-
ulated public interest and created a pub
lie opinion which Congress is at the pres
ent time attempting to recognize and obey
by formulating into law an adequate
banking and currency system.
The impression in this city is very
strong that out of this agitation, out of
the comparison of views, out of the
demonstration that the business men and
the bankers of the country regard the
subject as far beyond the reach of any
will come in due time a
banking and currency measure which
will be approved, although hereafter some
amendments may be needed to curtail 1t,
as was the case with the present national
banking law.
