DIsoRDERLY HABITS


 There are several persistent habits on the part of the public, particular 1y of many young people, that tend to keep most towns looking disorderly, and are too much in evidence here.
 The distribution of handbills and advertising sheets is often done in a careless way by boys. They will throw a bill on the porch of a house, where the first puff of wind blows it into the street.
 Many boys in delivering hand bills, VII stuff them into the hands of passZ ers-by who have no interest in them, and who throw them away without looking at them.
 This newspaper has previously re- marked on the common habit of throwing away on the street the pa per bags in which fruit, candy, pea nuts, etc, were purchased. Another slovenIy and offensive trick is the ha- bit of tearing up letters and scatter ing the scraps over the walks. Some one has to pick up these pieces bit by bit if the street is ever to look clean.
 Probably the only way to get at this 1 disorderly spirit is in the long run through the public schools. Every school room ought to have a regular 1 lesson each spring, and perhaps sev- of neatness. The children should be told that dirty streets make the town less attractive to strangers, make peo- pie less likely to come here to five, that they depress the value of real i estate, and thus work against the prosperity and comfort of every fam fly.

EMPIRE

Ina Claire BroaGway's daintiest Star makes her photodramtic debut in a picturization of the merry romance, sThe Wild Goose Chase four part Paramount masterpiece, which will be the feature attraction at Keeney's Empire theatre. today and tomorrowA
 zs The Wild Goose Chase is the love story. of 2 college boy and charming girl. At about the time they first meet and fall instantly in love with one another each is ordered by stern parents to marry an unknown mate. The reason for this is that the grand fathers of the two young people are two rich old men of France, and these two old gentlemen. according to the European custom, offer to pro- vide large sums of money if the young people marry one another. To escape these enforced marriages, man and girl both leave home and join the same Wandering theatrical troupe, which meets with many trials and tribu1ations. It is not until the very end that the young people finally learning each others real name, find that they have been on wild goose chase all the time, because the very thing they desire themselves is what tfle grandfathers have ordered.
 This feature is one of the most de- Iightfu1 tales ever Nproduced in mo- tfon pictures as is sure to please one and all.

We are informed that he has gone to New York to make inquiries concerning it. We hope there is no mistake about this story and that the rumored good for tune is true. for it could not fall to one more deserving of it, nor come at a more desirable moment.

Jail here last night. fg fgBt p
While several of the Jail authorities
declared that Holt killed himself by
climbing through the opening at the

to he narrow court below, Hollis
keeper said he was positive that the
prisoner was killed in his own cell,

Hollis suicide followed ar earlier at

with the metal of a lead pencil.
There were many conflicting re-
ports as to the manne in which Holt
met his death, but it was definitely es-
tablished, through DR.. Cleghorn, the
Jail physician, that Holt died of a frac-
tured skull. y
Several of those about the Jail said
they heard an explosion, the report
coming from Hollis cell. This noise,
it was believed, was due to the falling
of boards from the top of the cell.

was detailed to watch Holt, said he

it was dark. Entering, he found

corner. r,sc Rs.a
DR.. Cleghorn denied a report that
Holt had killed himself by chewing a
percussion cap. He repeated that
death was caused by a fracture at
the top of the skull. IL
