class rooms on the three floors. At
each end wooden stairways led down

Within two days the American
steamship Siskiyou, which arrived
here with cargo of mahogany and

the cargo discharged and yesterday
afternoon got under way for Tampa,

The entire lot of more than one

There is a new administration in
charge of the city. There are several
problems confronting them. What will
they do about the smoke nuisance of
the power and other plants? What
will they do about the power plant?
What will they do about the streets?
This department will not propose any
thing until after hearing the inaugural
address of the mayor. 1t is up to him
to outline a policy, a program. And
if he does so and it is as intelligent a
program as he is capable of, l believe
that he will have the solid support of
all the citizens. Let us hear from
you, Mr.. New Mayor.
What has become of the movement
to close the street between the school
buildings? 1t was reported that the
Civic League was looking after the
natter. If so please bring the matter
to a passage this summer.
hope that the new city government
will have more regard shown for it's
orders by the bicycle riders, than did
the late administration. Mayor John
son issued a ukase against sidewalk
riding, but it was observed mostly in
the breach. Pedestrians have a few
rights left and the sidewalk Is about
the only place where they can feel
safe from the frisky farm auto.
A man said to another on the street
the other night, "If a fellow could
only find a little game here on Sun
days it would not be such a dull
town" Another young lad offered to
show him one next Sunday and as the
offer was accepted it is to be sup
posed that there will be something
doing for the benefit of the lonesome
party. Two cards, please.

e NO

An Indiana publisher goes after a
certain class of deadbeat subscribers
in the following rather rough but
truthful tanner:
Every newspaper man in the u
try is familiar with the above sen.
tence which is sent him regularly by
postmasters when subscribers to
newspapers remove to some other To-
cality and fail to notify the postmas-
ter of their new location.
Every newspaper man gets beat
out of dozens of dollars every year by
that class of fly-by-night fellows. That
they are dishonest at the core is self
evident, that they would steal-if
they had the opportunities a reason
able assurance. For they take the
paper for as long a period as they can
get it without paying for the same
and then, when they remove to some
other locality, they fail to notify the
office of publication. This is a species
of stealing that is worse than picking
a mans pockets.
THE man who goes to a distant
state and has his local paper sent to
him month after month, and year
after year, then beats the subscription,
is a dead beat just several notches
lower than a sheep thief and has about
as much manhood as a NANCY cur
dog"
