plication must be fled at least fifteen
days before any license was granted.
He stated that the committee would
report at the next regular meeting of
the council. 1t was forecasted that
the report of the committee would op-
pose the granting of the license.
Licensing junk dealers took up con-
siderable time of the council. The ju-
dietary committee brought in a report
recommending that the amount of the
license fee be changed from $25 to
SO but this me- with a storm of oppo-
sition. Some of the members of the
council insisted that the license be
left right where it was while others
wanted nominal license of a dollar
a year. The matter was finally re-
ferred back to the committee with in
structions to call meeting of all the
junk men and find out just what they
wanted and draw an ordinance accord
ingly.
Chairman Thomey of the license
committee caused the aldermen to sit
up and take notice when he demanded
that an order be signed for the pay
ment of his fly cop" No one knew
that the special officer had been on
duty but evidently he has as the alder
man insisted that he wanted hundred
dollars this morning to pay him. The
mayor told the aldermen that the or.
der would be signed at once. If the
"fiy cop" has been at work, he has
done an excellent job of keeping I'M
der cover. It is expected that the IL
cense committee will have some inter
esting details when it's report is ready
to be made public.
The committee on streets and alleys
was directed to proceed at once with
the building of the culvert over Jer-
ONE Creek on Rowland avenue with
the plan of making this culvert part
of the sewer to be laid along the creek.
The work will be done under the direc-
ton of the city engineer and the street
commissioner of the district and an
effort will be made to complete it be-
fore the end Of the year.
The council recognized the services
of Assessor John w. Stevens by in
creasing the appropriation for this
office to $4,000 year,
The question of regulating the NOV
ing pictures in the city is still in the
hands of the Judiciary committee. The
committee asked for further time to
complete its Investigations and this
was granted without division of the
council.
The council had some discussion of
the plans of issuing a. Municipal
Code" and an appropriation of $4,000
for this work was included in the bud
get. 1t is expected that the work
which is to be done by City Attorney
John G. Slater will be started at once.
It will include the making over of all
the old ordinances and the republica-
ton of them. The work will probably
be completed within a year.

LOCAL Library HAS MESSAGE
Miss Frantz Urges Visitors to Come

New Books.

The Gilbert Simmons Library has
received the usual large consignment
of new books that publishers issue
each autumn in order to be in readi-
ness for the pre-Christmas sales, and
now has them ready for circulation.
AS one goes through the list the
title, Emmy Lou's Road to Grace T"

whether to shed tears over the per-

but as one reads the list, the Won

today throw away their time on feeble,
lifeless, evanescent, modern fiction
when the thrills of really great story
writers are waiting for them.

Wandering Jew, that wonderful story
of tragic adventure-the story of the
man who denied his Savior and was
doomed to wander for centuries,
watching his own people die and losing

life for him was nothing but sad mem
cries. It tells of his attempts, one

ocean storm, he knows that it will
come safely through, for he cannot

SALOON FIGHT GOES OVER
License Committee Declares Law Made
It Impossible for Committee to Act
Chairman Demands Pay for ely
Cop, Who Has Been Busy.

The question Of making better pro-
vision for the voters of the first ward
doomed as the big question before the
Common Council at the session on
Monday evening and aldermen from
that ward demanded that new pre-
cinct be made for this ward in order
to make it possible to cast the vote
without confusion. The matter was
referred to the committee on Judiciary
and it is pretty certain that the COM
mittee will recommend the division of
the ward into precincts. It is possible
that later on the people in the east
portion of the ward will send formal
petition to the council asking that the
east side of the ward be set aside as
a separate ward. The aldermen and
the people of the ward feel that at
the present time it has an unfair rep
resentation in the Common Council
both in regard to population and in
regard to the value of the property
covered. There has been mutterings
Of dissatisfaction among the people of
the first ward ever since the redistrict-
ing was completed year ago and it
is probable that some steps will be
taken to remedy the conditions before
the next spring election.
The question of granting license
for the saloon at the corner Of Church
and Park streets went over for anoth-
er fortnight. When the license COM
mittee was called, Chairman Thomey
declared that it was impossible for the
committee to make report on the IL
cense as the law provided that the APP

familiar with classic literature would
dare confess ignorance of it, any more
than he would Of Thackeray, of Dick
ems, of the great poets and of other
writers.
"Then think of George Barrow,
Wondering, forgotten on library
shelves, when all his romance Of the
free and open Gypsy life calls to the
reader, and when his easy, ingratiating
style proves an inspiration to the use
of good English. Few latter day
readers know tRomany Rye that
most delightful of stories of Gypsy
life, at all well.
"Why," asks Miss Frantz, edo
readers pass by DeFoe's Robinson
Crusoe with its wealth of beauty in
the simple, concise diction which is its
characteristic, and give their children
cheap limitations written by inferior
writer's but getting the main facts of
the storyg 1t is on the same plan as
would be the purchase of an art stu
dent s picture of his conception of
Raphael IS Madonna, with the idea that
the people who saw it would not be
able to appreciate the art in the ORR
ginal but could readily get at what
the bungling imitator was trying to
do.
We would offer Treasure Island
by Stevenson, and dozens of other
books that in general reading one
finds constant allusion to, to those who
want books, if we had our way, but if
the public calls for the cheap fiction
of today and will not read any other,
we perforce furnish them that, for
even though the reading habit does
not lead them to the best, it is better
than no habit of reading, whatever. =
