NO NIGHT PARKING
ON SIXTH STREET
The city authorities are commenc
ing their program of urging auto
owners that are down town for any
length of time at night not to park
their cars on North or South Sixth
street. This more especially applies
to anyone who would leave their car
there overnight.
This is the season when the rains
of spring may be looked for and the
streets in the main section of the
city must care for the passage of a
great deal of water that comes down
from the hills.
There might be no occasion for
alarm at leaving the cars along Sixth
street overnight, but in case there
should be an extraordinary rain as
we had several times last season there
is danger to the cars from the rush
of water as It sometimes causes a
great deal of injury to the cars and j
the narking of the cars on the street
holds back tho regular flow of the
surface water and causes it to be
held along this street sometines to the
injury of property.
Temporary parkings during the
course of the evening, when the cars
can be moved easily by the owners,
is not objected to, but the habit of
leaving cars there all night is apt
to cause serious damage and should
be avoided by the car owners.

were unable to land, altho they had

fish, however, and expect to return
home victorious.
WALTER CAMP'S ADVICE
TO THE "MIDDLE AGED"
The late Walter Camp, who died
recently at the age of 6 6, was a
strong advocate of the policy in golf
of attaining results with a minimum
of effort and this he claimed was
particularly advisable with tho3e of
middle age or bevond. Camn favored
the shortest possible back swing and
used extra long steel shafted clubs,
so that he would not have to lean
over when driving and also because
he thought they gave maximum dis
tance with least effort and strain
and, since he died of heart-failure,
we know now why he was so careful
on this point. While the star player j
may not get any longer drive with
the steel-shafted .club, many seniors!
now leei mat iney can get tne nail
up and away with less energy.

The bond issue went glimmering
when polling only 439 votes out of
964 cast and at that with a narrow
majority of 33 for the proposition
on the face of it. Those familiar
with the conditions in the various
wards were of the opinion that had
the cemetery road and the King of
Trails graveling been submitted sep
arately they would have carried, but
intense opposition was evident
against the Ixuisville road proposi
tion. In the first ward the bonds re
ceived a heavy majority that was
cut down in the other wards, all of
which, except the second, gave small
majorities against the proposition.
By wards the vote on the bonds

CLARENCE BEAL AT HOSPITAL
Clarence L. Beal, wno was taken
Sunda3' afternoon to the Methodist
hospital in Omaha, is still at that
place and will have to take a course
of treatment it is thought before it
will be possible to perform the op
eration for the removal of his tonsils
as his condition is such that the pa
tient cannot at this time stand the
operation. Mr. Beal is suffering very
intensely from pain and swelling of
portions of his body that have baf
fled the attending physicians and
while he is in this condition, as well
as being very weak from his long ill
ness it is thought that an operation
would not be advisable and treat
mentfor giving him more strength
will be given. Mr. Beal has been
very weak- for the past few weeks
and his condition has caused the
greatest of apprehension to his fam
ily and friends, but it is hoped that
at the hospital he may receive treat
ment that will enable him to throw
off he effects of the prolonged ill
ness and when he returns home it
will be materially improved.
