In accordance with the decision reached a couple of weeks ago by the board of directors, the Y. M. C. A. doors were closed on the the evening of April 30th. For a year or more past the rooms had been operated at a loss, and the debt hanging over the association is in the neighborhood of $1,300. This in cludes a $500 note endorsed by three of the directors, the balance being for rent, salary, laundry service and other items of supplies, lo meet this indebt edness there is furniture valued at $500, part of which hay already been sold. When this sum is applied there will remain a deficit of $800, which it is hoped can be secured by subscriptions. No disposition has yet been made of the library. The directors have the consent of the international board to ' loan the books to the public library, but the board of directors of tho latter have not yet decided whether they will accept them. It is a source of regret that it was found necessary to close the rooms, and yet the action mar after all create more enthusiasm for the proposed -new, T. M.' G. A. building, and thus prove, goou move. The creation of the debt is largely due to the addition of the dormitory, which at the time promised to bo a revenue producer. At the beginning there was a good demand for the rooms, but tho patronage did not long continue, and the expenses were greater than the receipts. LOAN THE MUTUAL BUILDING & ASSOCIATION. The assets of this assocjation exceed tho sum of half a million dollars. The reduction of the rate of interest to bor rowers has increased the demand for loans; and in order to meet this demand the association will issue a limited amount of its PAID UP STOCK. Money invested in this paid up stock draws six per cent in terest, payable semi-annually, and may bo withdrawn at any time upon thirty days notice, such notice being waived where thete are funds in the treasury to meet the withdrawal.

Even Dozen Take Civil Service Exam. Twelve young men took tho civil ser vice examination for railway mail clerk beforj the local examining board Satur day in tho court room of the federal building. Two taking tho examination are residents 'of this city, tho others live at Ogalalln, Rice, Maxwell and other neighboring towns. The local board is composed of Mrs. Lillian Gleason and Messrs. McLain and Tuck er, of tho local postoflico force. Tho position of railway mail clerk seoma to be oagerly sought, and though the salary on tlie start is but $800 per year, there are man opportunities for advancement to positions that pay $1,200 to $1,5C0 per yoar. Tho number taking these examina tions Is always large, for instance, at Omaha Saturday there were 120. Under a ruling of tho department the board of examiners are not allowed to give tq newspapers tho names of those taking the examinations. i i i i -- Street Signs are Taken Down. Acting under instructions from the city council, Chief of Police Frazier a week or so ago notified all business men who maintain sidewalk signs and post signs to remove them by a certain date, That time expired Friday, and during the day all signs and posts were removed. This ordor did not apply to overhead electric signs which meet the requirements of the ordinance relating to signs. As a result of this innovation the streets, and particularly Dewey, present a much neater appearance they look more citified. The abolishment of these signs is along the line of civic Improvement pro posed by tho now administration, and whilo some of tho business men effocted did not take kindly to tho action, we believe that all will agree that the improved appearance of the streets justifiod the movo. The sidewalk sign stands had become so numerous as to really provo n nuis ance to pedostrians, and considerable complaint had been made to the author ities. Ready for Business.
