Petitions Being Circulated
This Week
Asking That Question be
Submitted to a Vote of the
People of City.

Although there has been more OF
less talk of late over the license ques-
tion yet the petition asking that the
question be submitted to the voters
was not put in circulation until We'd
nesday of this week. Workers are
now out with the papers getting
signers and the required number, one
tenth of the number of votes cast at
the last general election, is being
secured. The circulators of the
petitions are meeting with no difficult
ty whatever in getting names to the
petition and they will have large
amount over the required number be-
fore the petitions are turned over to
the city clerk asking that the question
be submitted to the people at the
spring election.
The interest taken in this import
ant question is more keen than it has
ever been before and both sides are
claiming victory. A red hot cam
paign will be waged by both sides.

Says he will Not Make Run
for Office of Mayor.
Was STRONGLY Endorsed by
his Many Friends. May
be Other Candidates.

Olof M. Olson, who has been men,
toned as a possible candidate for the
office of Mayor, has requested us to
announce that he will not be can
didate for the office at the election
this spring and Mr.. Olson wishes to
thank all for the interest they have
taken in his candidacy but says that
owing to various reasons he must de-
cline to accept the nomination at
this time.
Mr.. Olson had been endorsed by
the business men and by many of his
friends. By withdrawing his name
as candidate this leaves E.
Bryan as the only candidate in the
field for the office. Mr.. Bryan is al
present alderman from the 1st ward,
1t is rumored that there may be
another candidate in the field for the
Office before the time for filing closes.
The time for filing does not close un-
til four days previous to the election

First he Heard of it

When asked as to the ar
nouncement that he was can
didate for the office of Secretary
of State L. N. Clausen of this
city, when interviewed by a
Times man the first of the week,
stated that it was the first he
had heard Of it. Mr.. Clausen
did admit receiving number of
letters from friends urging him
to become a candidate for the
Office but he has not made up
his mind whether or not he will
become a candidate.
Mr.. Clausen is a thoroughly
capable man who is quite wildly
known throughout the state and
his many friends would like to
see him become a candidate for
the position.

May Have Sunday Closing

A public hearing on the Sunday
closing of saloons at Ashland was
held before the Commissioners on
Wednesday, both sides being repre-
sented. A proposition was made by
one of the saloon men to give the
saloons until July 1st before the
Sunday closing law was put into
effect and this seemed to meet the
approval of the Commissioners. The
question was put over for one week
and will come up before the Commits
sioners again at that time.

perimental station delivered an ad-
dress in which he stated that the two

course.
The measure will operate similar to
that of the "Hardscrabble" ordinance.
It provides that Front street from tht
south side of South street to a point
siXty-five feet north of Liberty street
and from the south side of Harris
street to the south side of Maclay
street be opened.
This means that Front street will be
opened to the low water line of the
SusQuehanna. The section west of the
western curb line, of course, will be
officially set aside for park purposes
after the method that was adopted in
setting aside the central sections of
State and other streets for grass plots.

the "HardSCra bile data together

will be included in the proceedings
we'll get busy with the parts of Front

nance" it was said at the City Engi-
neer's office to-day. we will hardly
start the latter work before that. how
ever. as there is considerable detail
to handle on the "Hardscrab bible" Job.
When the Front street data is ready
the plans etc. will be turned over to
City Solicitor d. S. Seitz and he will
try to reach some satisfactory agree
ment with the owners of the ground
for taking over the park land for the
city. Where no satisfactory terms can
be reached the City Solicitor will then
ask the courts to appoint viewers. who
will assess the benefits and damages
accordingly.

s39S Basque Waist with Surplice
Fronts, "a to 42 bust.

The recent variations Of the basque give
littleevidence of the original severity OF that
garment and here is a charming one with
sash extensions that is really ideal for the
dressy afternoon costume. 1t can be
worn over any skirt and it can be made
to match or of contrasting material.
The back is plain, in true basque fashion,
but the fronts are Tapped in surplice
style and carried around to the back
where they can be finished either with
q bow or with looped ends. Charmeuse
or liberty satin would be handsome for
a waist to be worn over skirt of serge
or fancy silk or, for dressy occasions, over
a plated skirt of chiffon or crepe de chine.
II something very elaborate is wanted, the
sleeves could be of the thinner material
to match the skirt. The chemisette ard
and faring collar preferably would be
white but the material may be organdie
or lace or silk poplin or washable satin.
For the medium size, the basque will
require as ydS. of material 27,- SO yds.

The ortermobi1e is a kind of wagon
with a sewing machine contraption
in front and a smell behind. 1t also
goes very fast when II goes. and 1t
stops very still when IL stops, and you
have to pay a man five dollars to come
and project with its insides and tell
you why.
In ancient times there were no
ortermobiles and people used to drive
horses for pleasure, and 1t took all
day to go twenty miles. but this was
a long time ago, as much as twenty
five years, l expect.
Ny mamma says that a ortermobile
is the best way to get into society.
My papa says that a ortermobile is
the quickest. way to get to the poor
house. / do not know which is right
Perhaps they both are.
1t used to be that only rich people
kept ortermobiles. but my papa says
that now anybody can set an orter-
mobile that can raise second mort
gage.
There are a great many different
kinds of ortermobiles. There are
red ortermobiles and blue ortermo-
biles and yellow ortermobiles, but
whatever kind of a ortermobile you've
got you always buy a different make
the next time you buy one. You also
brag about the kind of ortermobile
you've got while you've got it. but
when you sell it you knock 1t, and
say it was nothing but a junk wagon
AS a Means of Convenience
The ortermobile is very useful in
getting people from place to place
quickly. 1t also furnishes you some
thing to talk about. no If you have
got a ortermobile you are never ST.
lent in company, for you sit up and
tell how many niles you have driven
and what speed you made, and how
the police liked to have caught you

"EVERYwoMAN"

Theater goers of Harrisburg will
have an opportunity on Monday after
noon and evening to see at the Majes-
tic, Henry w. Savage's celebrated pro-
duction of the dramatic spectacle,
"EveTywoman," unquestionably the
largest and most lavish pictorial repre-
sentation of a musical and dramatic
piece which has ever been sent on
tour. "Everywoman' partakes of the
nature of drama, opera and spectacle,
but cannot be described by the ordin-
airy classification of the theater. While
Walter Browne, the author, drew his
inspiration from the ancient morality
play, "Everywoman." this work in no
way resembles the famous old allesUry.
1t is bright, witty, and abounds In
wholesome philosophy and deals with
people and circumstances of the pres
ent day. The characters are so la
beled that there is no doubt as to the
intent of each one from the moment
of his first appearance. One hundred
and fifty people are employed in the
production.-Adv.

our friends Frank Milton and the nifty

for going a million miles an hour.
And folks have to listen to you be-
cause they want to tell how many
miles they went in their ortermobile.
My father says the oTtermobiis is
also most useful as a fool killer, ana
that every year it rids the world OF
a lot of pin headed idiots that would
be in sensible peoples way II there
were no ortermobile wrecks of JOY
riders.
Ortermobiles makes men very fierce,
like raging lions. and say cuss words,
but they makes ladies very patient
like angels.
When we go out in our ortermo-
bile. and all of a sudden 1t says
p-s-t-n-s-s--, and stops, and my papa
gets out of the machine, and goes
peeking around at its innards with
an expression of Damn all over him,
none of US dast ask him what is the
matter.
And when the wheel picks UP a
tack and my pape has to put in
new tube, we sit just as still as mice
because it in not safe to speak to a
man when he is pumping a tire. The
reason there is always a crowd
around the man who is putting shoe
on an ortermobile wheel is because
he always looks mad enough to eat
folks alive. and they want to be there
to see him do it.
When my papa is at home he's
good and kind and minds what my
mamma says to him. but when we are
in the ortermobile he snaps her head
off If she speaks to him. / do not
know why this is so, but it is so.
Ortermobile make you very popu-
lar. You never know how many peo-
pie love you. and want to be with
you, until YOU have a ortermobile.
That's all at present about orter-
mobiles.
