FINANCIAL SITUATION

The financial situation is in wait
ing attitude, after long period of
pressure from unfavorable happen
ings and sentiment. Prices have been
depressed to the point of tinal resist
ance, and. on low levels like those
now prevailing, opportunity is pre-
sented to investors to buy good things
at cheap prices. There is nothing in
the outlook which should prevent such
investments being made for the long
carry. S. Bache & Co., in their
financial review for the current week.

REDUCTION OF SALOONS
MAY BE MADE AN ISSUE

Owing to the absence Of quorum
there was no session of the charter
commission last Tuesday evening.
Chairman Costin was out of the city
and many of the members found it
impossible to attend. The next meet
ing will be Tuesday evening of next
week, when there are number Of
important matters to come up for
consideration and when it is hoped
to have the full membership pres
ent. The reduction Of the number of
saloons in the city to 80 it is said
will be an issue in the revision of
the charter and the plan by which it
is proposed to do this will probably
be before the commission at its next
session.

with intelligent people, still the vari-
Gus cults are strong enough to in
fiuence our legislative bodies and we
have no compulsory vaccination law:
It is hoped that all unvaccinated
citizens or those who have not been
vaccinated within the past seven
years will avail themselves of the
city's offer, or be vaccinated by their
family physicians, thus helping to
keep the number of cases of small
p0x in Virginia to a minimum.

TRANSIENT POLE STINGS
NUMBER OF COUNTRYMEN

John Novack, Polish, working an
unusual and crude get-rich-quick
scheme, of which several Of his Vir-
ginia countrymen were made victims,
is in Jail this morning charged with
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses and evidently stands small
chance Of explaining the charge
away. Novack forged letter on the
City National Bank of Lincoln call
ing on him to Immediately produce
$500. He used the letter to indicate
his pressing and temporary need of
funds and secured small sums from
several Virginia people. His opera
tions were called to the attention of
a local banking house and investiga-
ton disproved story that he own
ed a farm and valuable property at
Lincoln. He also claimed that his
wife and family were at Eveleth,
guests at the Glode hotel. This was
developed falsehood. Novack will
have preliminary hearing today.
