NOTHING Definite Done
ABOUT site FOR LIBRARY

Owing to a legal tangle. arrange
ments were not completed at meet
ing of the Institute Library managers,
for the site for the new library
building for this city, on Tenth street
between Market and King. The trus-
tees Of the library would rather pur-
chase the ground than TO lease it Tor
200 years, which is the proposition
made by the trustees Of the First Pres
byterian Church, who own the prop
erty, but there is some question as to
the right Of the trustees to sell.
It is also understood that there is
some question concerning the lease.
The trustees are willing to lease on a
certain scale of ground rent In tho
200 years this would amount TO about
$2,0OO,OOO, which is considered
rather high figure, but it is possible
that it may be accepted if no other
plan can be made. To meet this rent
the man who has agreed to acquire
the site, but who will not allow his
name to be used. will provide a trust
fund of S25000O and the interest from
this will pay the ground rent each
year.

William Davies, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rob't Davies, who live near Ar
kalon, died Saturday in the Mayo
hospital at Rochester, Minnesota, to
which place he was taken a few
weeks ago TO be operated on for an
acute case OF jaundice. His condit-
ion was such, however, that the OPP
Grafton could not benefit him, with
the result that he had to give up the
struggle he had up till that time
made so manfully. The body was
shipped to his home at ArkalOn and
funeral services were held there We'd
nesday. A number of Liberal people
went to Arkalon to attend the funer-
al. Young Mr.. Davies was the idol
of his parents and a great favorite
among his friends He was a native
of Seward county and grew to man
hood among those who have known
him since birth. He will be missed
most by those who knew him best.

Stockton Record: A Kansas City
girl was caught in the act of stealing
from the store where she was en-
ployed She was arrested and fined
in the courts. Then she asked to
have her job back. The manager of
the store left it to the decision of the
other girls in the establishment and
they-all voted for reinstatement All
the men, on the other hand, voted
against her coming back. 1t has gen.
orally been supposed that men were
easier on erring women than their
sisters, but this case has upset the
theory. Our idea is that the two
sexes have different points of view.
Women will overlook and forgive dis
honesty; men regard the thief the
chief sinner against society. Suppos.
ing the shop girls fault had been i'm
proper conduct with men. Then the
verdict recorded above would have
been reversed and all the women
would have voted against the girl,
