Other Matters.
To the President and Members OF
City Council,

To the President and Members OF
City Council,
Gentlemen:
The driveway around the Pumping
Station is in need of a coat of good
gravel before the winter season comes
on and as we can get very good
gravel of VIM. c. Mulford at the cor
ner of Fayette Ct & Belmont Ave-, for
10c per load, we propose to cover the
whole drive within the next two or
three weeks.
power freight elevator erected at the
Filtration Plant when it was built,
but up to the present we have been
using chain hoist, which is very in
convenient, and as this elevator
should have been in the building be-
fore the plant was accepted by the
City would suggest to you to have
one placed there and the cost taken
from the balance on hand in the Water
Filtration account.
Applications for water taps, 4.
Sewers
During the last week we have been
giving the Lincoln st. Disposal Plant
and grounds cleaning up. We have
cut out all the underbrush from the
river to the tracks of the Central Rail-
road, and leveled off the high places
that had ought to have been done
when the plant was turned over to
the city, and with the help Of the
Street and Highway Department when
cleaning the cutters in that vicinity by
carting the sand to the Disposal Plant
and filling up some of the low places,
we can make it a very respectable
looking place.
At the Glass st. Plant we have one
of the Centrifugal pumps in operation
and it works very we'll, and although
we have not tested it for capacity, we
are satisfied from what we have seen
that with a few alterations it will
work very satisfactory.
We are now at work removing the
last Ejector and will set the other
pump as soon as possible and when
we are through with these alterations
we will proceed to clean up this plant
the same as We have at Lincoln st.
An application for sewer has been
received by your Commissioner for a
sewer on Taylor st. from Vine st. TO
the top of the hill. The estimated cost
of the proposed sewer is $2OS.OO. The
applications has three signers and
taps.
Four sewer taps have been granted
since last meeting of Council.

IMPORTANT
SCHOOL NOTICE
The Parents and Scholars
Should Observe.
The LAW IS RIGID
The Following Instructions, Care
fully Observed by Parents and
Children, Will Save Trouble.
Attendance Law


All children between and 16 years
of age are required to attend school
every day the schools are in session,
unless they have been granted Age
and Schooling Certificates.
Children must not be allowed to
drop out of school. The responsibility
rests upon the parents of the chill
dren. The penalty for violation of the
law may be made severe.
Stopping School
Do not allow child under 16 years
of age to remain out of school until
the "Age and Schooling Certificate"
has been secured from the superin-
tendent.
Any child 16 years of age is not re-
quired to attend school.
No child under IA years of age can
be exempted from attending school,
Age and Schooling Certificates
Children between IA and Is years
of age may secure age and schooling
certificates upon the following condi-
tons:
(a) Satisfactory proof of age.
(b) The child must have completed
the. fifth grade of school work.
(c) The child must have attended
school 130 days within the last twelve
months.
Cd The certificate of the Medical
Inspector must be favorable.
(e) The child must remain in en-
ployment-i. e. must not be idle and
upon the streets.
Employment Papers
The age and schooling certificate is
accepted by the Department of Labor
as an employment certificate. The
employer of child under 16 years of
age is required by the law to keep
the age and schooling certificate on
file while the child is in his employ,
and further, the employer is required
to send the Age and Schooling Certifi-
cate to the Supervisor of School Ex-
emption Certificate when the child
leaves his employ.
Age and Working Certificates
The age and Working" Certificate
is an entirely different paper from
the "Age and Schooling" Certificate.
The age and Schooling" Certificate,
exempts child from attending school
and authorize employers to employ
the child during the proper working
hours. The age and Working" Ger
tificate does not exempt a child from
attending school. 1t authorizes the
employers to employ the child in light,
out1of-door employment during the
time that the school is not in session.
Children to whom age and Working"
Certificates have been issued and who
have been employed during the sum-
mer are required to return to school
promptly at the opening of the term
Employers
Employers who have in their en-
ploy children with age and Working"
Certificates should see that such chill
dren attend school regularly.
This department will be required to
report employers who violate this law
to the Department of Labor.
Information
The place to go for information con-
corning certificates and school attend
ance is to the office of the Superin-
tendent in the Academy building.

Superintendent.

Fried Oysters

Select the largest oysters, rinse
quickly and lay carefully on colan-
der to drain. Dry quickly and gently
with a soft cloth, handling as little as
possible. Take steel fork and catch
1T nthe eye of the oyster, dip in egg
and then in fine cracker dust back and
forth, being careful not to use too
much cracker dust, as that tends to
disguise the flavor of the oyster. Use
two eggs for dozen and half of oy-
sterA. Beat them together, add a
pinch of salt and a tablespoonful of
boiling water. Have ready frying
pan, not too deep, with plenty of smok-
lng-hot olive oil or sweet lard TO
which add little butter to aid in
making the oysters crisp and brown.
Put in only enough oysters to cover
the bottom, without crowding. When
brown on one side turn over.

paying one-third down. Steven then goes to New York to secure additional funds. Steven meets Jackson Ives in New York Ives has plenty of money and agrees to purchase a share of the property. Friends come to Steve and ask hima to join them at the New Years party, and seeing large amount of money lying on a table believe he has struck gold and implore him to accept their checks in payment for stock mine. Ives is suspected of being counterfeiter, and Secret Ser vice men are upon his trail. Just as they enter the door of his room, he places the bogus bills into an envelope and mails the package to his sweet heart. Meanwhile Mike discovers gold at the Skyrocket. The report scatters and wealth pours in on the owners.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE ABOUT
 THE FLY IN CONWAY

HE FL1 IN CON WAY. Ordinance No. 40 is aimed at the mosquito and strikes at the fly only indirectly. In the interest of general disease prevention I will give it's pro- visions.
 It provides that all reservoirs, bar rels, tubs, vats, pools, lakes, ponds, puddles, ditches and other water con- tainers holding water shall be de- |clared nuisances unless covered and kept covered with oil or else screened mosquito tight Fines for violation are from $2 to $25. It is the duty of the town marshal to inspect anywhere the mayor thinks necessary. This was passed August 8, 1905.
 Did you know that you could sleep in the midst of the worst swamp in the world by night or by day and by the year without any fear of having malaria, provided you were bitten by no mosquitoes? The future of town in Egypt was ruined because they didn't know the mosquito carries ma laria germs; they found out later and abolished them, but the town never recovered.
 This is side-trip from the fly, but don't worry-there are vital things to be said about him yet.

THE SCENIC LINE TO THE SAN
 FRANCISCO EXPOSITION.

If you are going to the Panama Pacific Exposition, you will surely want to use the railroad that will per init you to see the most on the way. Lying between the Mississippi river and the Pacific coast is a stretch of more than two thousand miles of wonderland. All the magnificent sights of Europe do not compare in natural grandeur with the mountain heights, the canon depths, the crags and cataracts, the forest giants, the sweeps of plain and river vistas which unfold in kaleidoscope order before the eyes of the traveller between St. Louis and San Francisco, if he uses the Missouri Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande and Western Pacific.
 Taae trip over these lines is abso- lutely the most picturesque from the Mississippi river to Colorado, across the Rockies and through the Sierra Nevadas to the Pacific coast. This is the route of The Scenic Limited, a fast, all-steel train between St. Louis

We Are Ready And Have Been All The Year!
 ARE YOU?

Third, resolve to complain directly to us if anything goes wrong with our service to you. We will be much more interested in hearing about it than any outsider, and it will have our inn mediate attention.

THINKING. Written for the Log Cabin Democrat by Mrs. J. B. House.)
THINKING

1 am thinking of home and the past,
 love; 1 am thinking of the future and heav-
 en above, I am thinking of the present so sad and lonely. l am wishing Tor you, love, and you
 only. 1 thinking of our days of childhood, When we wandered side by side in the
 wildwood; Of the loving words and the tender
 smile You gave me while gathering flowers
 wild 1 am thinking of the cypress knees in
 the old slough, Where the very best fishing places
 we both knew. There we chattered and planned our
 future happ:ness; There you told me God gave me your
 life to bless. am thinking how I believed every
 word that you said And counted the hours till we would
 be wed. Of the sad command that caused us
 to part, And how all these years you have lived
 in my heart Now life has almost come to the close, And I think of it's pleasures and of
 it's woes. I count not one neglect or pain caused
 by you, For all along the journey you were
 faithful and true. So, good bye; 1 may not live till to-
 morrow. Come to me where there is neither
 pain or sorrow; Let us live together in mansions above Where God and angels wait us and
 life of perfect love.

The time when you should com mence using our ice regularly is here at last. We are after a new high recor for efficiency this season. Here are few things you should do to get the best results from our ice.
 First, look at your refrigerator and see if it leaks. If so repair same at once provided that it is a good re- frigerator and large enough to take care of your needs. If you found it too small last season it will be a good investment to get one that is not too small and has the capacity to be a real saver and not an ice-eating ag- gravation.
 Second, resolve to begin the season with our coupon book and to continue to use it as long as you use ice. This book will save you quite a good deal of worry. It cannot be lost easily and yo uhave the change all the time. AL ways buy the book that covers your usual taking.
