TO SECURE MATRON
FOR THE REST ROOM
City Council Also Decides to Refurs
nish Room 50 That it Will be At
tractive and Fit Resting Place.

At the meeting Of the council last
evening 1t was practically decided that
the rest room in the city hall will be
refurnished and that a matron will be
secured to take charge of that place.
In fact a half dozen applications for
the position were received by tha
council last evening.
The applications were referred ia
the house committee and no appoint
ment will be made in all probability
until next week. The council did not
determine the salary nor the hours
but the general sentiment seems to
be that $40 a month would be suffi-
cient and that the hours should be
fIom a. m. until p. m. with an
hour off at noon.
1t is the intention of the council
to make the room attractive and a fit
place for country women to rest while
shopping in the city. For the past few
years the place has been without an
attendant and conditions have become
anything but attractive there.

Places Where Animals Were Lost;

After investigating the heavy loss.
es of horses in the Cold Springs
country north of Pendleton, Dr. W.

for the losses as two. a mould or fun

the reason for most of the horses
dying and DR.. Lyle has left with tho
farmers directions for combating the
action of the poison.
More than 25 head of valuable
horses have been lost within the past
few weeks. George Hess alone has
lost IL, Jack wickman has lost eight
head and has two others sick and
Joe Snyder has lost five head and
has two others sick other farmers
north of here have had smaller loss

DR. Lytle discovered the weed lu

the places where horses have been
lost and also asoertained that all of
the animals had been allowed to for
