THAT CUT IN SALARIES
Public Service Commission Appeals to
City Council.

All the members Of the Public Serv-
ice Commission went before the City
Council Monday night to request that
the reduction Of salaries made by the
City Council be not applied to the EN-
ployes Of the Public Service Commits
sion. 1t will be remembered that at
special meeting held about two weeks
ago the City Council passed an or
dinance reducing the salaries Of all
city officers and many Of the city en-
ployes, and requested the Public Serv-
ice Commission to do likewise. It was
to answer this request that they APP
peared before the Conucil Monday
night
OF course there are two sides to the
eduction Of salaries. With the increas-
ed price of living its nearly impossible
for man with a family to live on a
small salary. And while the city will
save some $4,000 year by the reduc-
ton, yet we believe 1t would have been
better to have cut of some other ex-
penditures rather than TO have cut at
least some of the salaries which were
reduced. At the same time, II the sal
aries of the city employees are to be
reduced there is no good reason why
those of the Public Service Commits
sion should not be reduced also.
The whole matter, however, is in
the hands Of the City Council. Their
authority over every Board or Com
mittee is supreme. We understand that
II is the sentiment Of the members Of
THE Council to insist on making the re
duction of the employees Of the Com
mission. They ought to treat all alike
and II they cut the employees Of the
FcityI those Of the Public Service Com
mission in all fairness should be cu'
also.

HAVE COMPROMISED.
Judge Blount and the City Come to
Agreement.

The City Council recently brought
suit against Judge J. T. Blount for
the rent due by him on the Crump es-
tate. 1t seems that Mr.. Blount ten
dered the city a check some weeks ago
through Chairman Kline of the COM
mittee, for the rent due, after deduct
ing the amounts which Mr.. Blount
claimed due him by reason Of the loss
of rents. The Board of Supervisors
had ordered the fences taken down
from across the roads and the lands
thus thrown open were not rented.
There were some other deductions
claimed by Mr.. Blount, but at the
meeting last Monday night, the City
Council accepted the reduction on the
rents Of the lands affected by the
fences taken down across the road
but would not agree to any further
reduction. After a full discussion Of
the subject settlement was affected
on that basis, and the suit will now
be withdrawn.

A Painful Accident.

While crossing the dining room at
her home Monday, Mrs. J. w. Ben
nett tripped on a rug and fell and
broke her right wrist. This is indeed
a misfortune to this good woman, as
she was a cripple from having frac-
tured her left hip several years ago
and in the fall she bruised that hip

ent.
Mrs. Bennett is one Of the most
worthy and esteemed women Of our
city and her unfortunate accident is
greatly deplored by her many friends.
That she win soon recover is their sin

is resting as comfortably rs could be

Mr. ]. B. Devote Meets With Quite
Serious Loss.
Saturday one Of thesteams which be-
longs to Mr.. j. B. Devote, in some
way got frightened and started to run
while standing in front Of the barn
on Madison Street. The driver did not
have time to really take in the situn-
ton until the horses turned so that
the float was knocked against one Of
the electric light poles near the post
Office with such force that the trans
former was dislodged and fell, strik-
ing the float and breaking II some-
what I.nd rolled down against one OF
the horses, breaking one Of his
ankles. OF course, this renders the
horse useless, but to keep from killing
the animal, Mr.. Devote gave 1t away,
with the hope that in time II could be
useful to some one. The animal was
quite fine one and was only pur-
chased last summer. This Is ser
ious loss and more so at this season
Of the year.

Although these two young people
are now known as Miss Lenora Carr
Fry and George Beckenbaugh to peo-
pie of Harrisburg they will be better
known as Mr.. and Mrs. GLIB on the
night of the senior play, "Jedbury
Junior" given by the students of the

Yes, l. is Mrs. Glib, but the audi
ence may judge for themselves wheth-
er it is Mr.. Glib or Mrs. Gibbs hus-

very prominent parts in the play, up
holding the real comedy element and
through their clever performing and
humorous sayings the audience is kept
IN an uproar of laughter.
Unusual material has been found
among the students from which twelve
principals and several choruses have
been selected.
The play promises to be the best
ever given by graduating class of the

the clever acting of these amateurs
A high royalty is being paid on this
play, In which Maude Adams and John
