RESOLUTION,

Whereas, there is an urgent neces-
sity and demand for adequate ways
and means to enable certain physi-
cal accomplishments in the City of
Paris, including the reconstruction
of streets and providing curb and
cutters for same together with the
widening, grading, rebuilding, and
extension of the streets in the west

tionS to public school buildings, in
Guiding some $25, 900 needed for the
Atkins-Porter school building extern
sion, and for the colored school; and,
Whereas, That the burden of this
expense may not be heaped upon the
immediate property tax, which would
determine an abnormal rate of taxa
ton, and burden that could not
well be borne by many, and espe-
cially by those in moderate circnm-
stances, but instead be spread in
installments over a period of years;
and,
Whereas, The four members of the
city council recently elected by the
direct vote of the people, advocated
in the platform upon which they
were elected, the issuance of bonds
for the purpose of obtaining sums
of money to be used for expenses
other than current operating ex-
penses, l. e. for reconstruction, addi-
tions and betterments; this, in lieu
of direct tax burden; and,
Whereas, An ordinance has been
introduced in the city council and
passed first reading, which provides
fer the calling of an election to de-
termine the wishes of the qualified

and that the remainder of the autho-
rized bond issue, or 100000 be not
issued and sold at this time, nor in
the future until the exegencies of
the situation should develop the
same to be expedient,
FURTHER: That, in issuing at
this time $150,000 in bonds, there
shall be first sold only 100000,
feserving the other $4,000 for sale
only when the money can be wisely,

MANY TIMES CLOSE TO DEATH
Cowboy Must Have Had Creepy Feel.
ing When He Realized What
He Had Escaped.

The best story of horses jumps
which comes TO mind is that Of cow
boy. He was taking steers to Lead
vile and had camped for the night on
Bear river near its junction with the
Little Snake. In the middle of the
night something occurred to stampede
the cattle. The cowboy mounted his
broncho and rode hither and thither
on the flank of the herd until their
fright had died away. Four or five
times the rider felt his horse give ire
mendous leaps and with daybreak dis
covered the cause.
The cattle had climbed to a level
plateau which is intersected by can
yon four miles long and from 1900 to
1000 feet deep. Its walls incline
toward each other at the top, where
the distance is fifteen to twenty feet,
In riding, the man had kept his steers
circling about this plateau. A dozen
of them he found had fallen down the
canyon and been killed.
/ Hoofmarks showed him that the
great jumps made by his horse were
occasioned by the animals clearing the
canyon each time 1t came to the TAX
ing-off spot.

Nsttina Wild Animals.

Netting animals is one OF the cas-
lest and best methods of collecting
them, says Charles Mayer, in Asia
Magazine. The size Of the meshes
will depend entirely upon what one
hopes 70 capture. The net is placed
at spot where animals are sure to
pass; it is suspended across the trail
and held in place by light bamboo
poles. Leaves and grass are scattered
over II until ii can not be distin-
guished from the ground When an
animal steps into II, the net falls.
and he begins to struggle, instead OF
quietly working his way out. Within
minute he has himself so tangled in
the meshes that it is sometimes nee
essary to cut the net to get him out.

NIGHT in the Forest.

Through the forest is great silence,
but no stiffness. The whippoorwill
swings down and up the short curve
of his regular song, over and over the
owl says his WHO'D. These, with the
ceaseless dash of the rapids, are the
web on which the night traces her
more delicate embroideries of the IN
expected. Distant crashes, stealthy
footsteps near at hand; subdued
scratching OF claws; faint sniff, the
mournful cry of the loon, instinct with
the spirit of loneliness the ethereal
call-note of the birds of passage high
in the air; pattern among the dead
leaves, and at last, from the thicket
close at hand, the beautiful silvery
purity of the white-throated sparrow
the nightingale of the North-trem-
bling with the ecstasy of beauty, as
though shimmering moonbeam had
turned to sound these things combine
subtly, the Great Silence overarches
the night and draws you forth 10 con-
temptation. Stewart Edward White.

NEW GERMAN MARRIAGE BILL

Now that we have changed from
monarchism and its lifelong rule by
one man to. republicanism and its
change of president every few years,
it would mean Just another step for
ward in the progress of twentieth
century civilization il we abolish
that other obsolete institution, life
long marriage, and substituted for it
marriage for a certain, length of time
at the end of which the couple can
agree to re-elect each other for an
other period or discontinue the mat
rimonial union"
Thus reads a bill which will be
presented to the German reichstag
by the labor parties at the next ses-
sion in Berlin. The foregoing was
submitted at the opening Of the first
congress on sex science which began
Tuesday, and received the approval
of the whole assembly. Excited argu-
ment arose over the question as to
what was to become of the children
born in the course of the temporary
marriage. 1t was finally decided to
recommend that the state take
care of the children, as the soviet
government is now doing in Russia,
thus insuring that the next genera
ton will be healthy and strong and
If necessary be able to carry rifle"
as one of group of speakers admit
ted.
One rason why sort of poliygamy
is now being recommended to the
German people through this conven-
ton, is that there is marked short
age of able-bodied men as the result
of war losses, necessitating the rear
ing OF surplus of male children
in the next generation so that ac-
cording 20 the conventions official
announcement, defeated Germany
will be able TO live up to her obliga-
tons An unofficial communique,
it is suggested. might put II so that
defeated Germany eventually will be
able 70 get revenge on France"

MADE ACQUAINTANCE AT FAIR

There are approximately 1900
churches in Chicago, and Adolph
Folke of Davenport, has an appoint
ment TO meet Rose Bomash at one
of them.
Adolph for thirty years has been
employed by prominent physician,
his duties lately having been to
drive the doctors car. His habits
have been frugal and he has been
thrifty His chief interest has been
the making of small but regular de-
posits in the First National Bank Of
Davenport. To which attest his life
time savings-$2,475.
Last week there was a county fair
in Davenport. Adolph went to the
fair grounds and there he met Rose
Bomash. Rose owned three of the
concessions at the fair. She was
small, deliciously blonde, and her
eyes were blue as the bay of Naples.
One day they wagered $3.50 each
on a horse race. They won.
I'VE are lucky together" she muir
INJURED.
On Friday when the fair closed
they decided in a purely platonic
way to throw their lot together.
Adolph went TO the hank and drew
out his savings. He gave Rose ST.
375, retaining for himself 500 for
expenses. That night, together, he
having purchased separate berths,
they boarded the train and went to
Chicago. They took separate rooms
at the Ruse hotel, 173 West Van
Buren, street.
Saturday was another day of the
purest enjoyment. They went to
Lincoln park to see the animals,
walked along the drive on the lake,
and in the evening they went to the
movies.
And tomorrow" said Rose, as
they were parting for the night, lis
Sunday. OF course we shall go to
church in the morning"
"Of course" said Adolph. Il have
never failed to go to church on Sun
day morning"
Nor have L." said Rose "I'll meet
you at the church" She looked at
him out Of the eyes that were blue
like the bay of Naples and ran rogu-
ishly off to her room.
Sunday morning Adolph arose
and tapped at Roses door. No an
swer. Rose had gone to church.
There are approximately $500
churches in Chicago. Adolph has an
appointment to meet Rose at one of
| them.
Maybe she is waiting there with
Adolphs $2,375, but Sergeant Pow
ers of the Clark street police station
thinks it is hardly likely.

A REsPoNsIBIITY IGNORED

The mass mind of more than three
million people in Chicago and vicin-
ity received a shock one morning
last week when the papers were de-
livered. 1t was not an inspirational
stimulus such as might have been
occasioned by the telling of great
good news of interest 20 all, but was
caused by the publication of cold,
unsympathetic, sordid, morbid, init
mate details Of an alleged confession
of the murder of two Chicago auto
mobile statesmen and a movie COM
edian's gin party held in a San Fran
cisco hotel, which resulted in the
death of one Of the young women
members.
These two stories alone occupied
from seventeen to twenty columns of
gruesome and revolving descriptions,
told in such way as TO make the
deepest impression upon the subcon-
scious mind of the reader-thereby
getting in the punch"
We believe ii is conceded by all
that the mind is not in a construct
i've mood when occupied with tales
such as these. On the contrary,
many will tell you that in the cob
slant contemplation Of depravity
and destruction such as the city pa
pers seem determined to purvey, the
mind becomes so intimately associ-
ated with destructive ideas that they
leave a lasting mark upon It. Espe-
cially is this true OF the young and
those weak in mental development.
How great, then, is that respon-
sibility devolving upon the news
paper, to minimize the destructive
and maximize the constructive
thought of its readers; to lead the
way from the contemplation of i'm
material details of crime and deprav-
ity, and TO suggest the study and de-
velCpment of the good, the beautiful
and the true!
No mans thought is his alone.

Keep Control Of Temper.

Repeated outbursts Of violence have
the same effect on your delicate men

have on the machinery which controls

In very little time the person CIV

troll his energy. 1t will burst forth
at all times, as In the case Of a badly
spoiled child. And then there will be
little work and no thought. All the

terious processes of life will be vast

SAW COLONIES AS A NATION
According to Old Almanac, English
Nobleman Was Gifted With Re-
markable Prophetic Spirit.

Quantity phrased weather warnings,
interlarded with old-fashoned words
of wisdom, including prediction of
a successful revolt in America, while
the colonists were still praying for the
health of their English ruler, are con-
tanned in a collection of almanacs
owned in Keene, N. ii. Some of the
paper-bOund booklets date back to
1854.
The prophecy dealing with the Rev.
Olution was printed in copy issued
about the time that Washington was
following the peaceful pursuits of a
surveyor. 1t was made by Lord
Kames, a British nQbleman, who said:
"our North American colonies are
Il a prosperous condition, Increasing
rapidly in population, in commerce
and in opulence and they have the
spirit of a free people and are en-
famed with patriotism. Their popu-
la ion will equal that Of Britain and
Ireland In less than a century and
they will be a match for the mother
country if they choose to be lndepend-
ent. A people animated with the new
blessings of liberty will not incline to
a kingly form OF government"
Young men are urged to 60 West
into the wilds Of Ohio and purchase
land at 20 cents an acre in Spanish
money, by an almanac editor who
wore knee breeches and ruffied shirt.
In his mortuary statistics, based on re-
ports received in 1897, he asserted
that half Of the United States died
before reaching the age of seventeen
years, smallpox, for instance, being
more fatal to girls than boys at that
period. However, one in every 3,125
of the population attained or passed
the century mark in life.
