Gooden for Fred Roudybush at Otterbein, Ind. Thanks. At a meeting of the city council last evening, a petition was presented to the council, signed by twenty-four women of the city asking that the pool halls be closed at 8 a'clock at night and opened not earlier than 7 o’clock mornings; that no one under 21 years of age be allowed therein, and that said halls pay a reasonable license. As we understand, no action was taken. As the state law fixes the age limit at 18 years and the li cense is placed at $100 per year, it is not probable the council will take up the matter of closing at night un less they wish to abolish them, which such closing would practically accom plish, as the business is almost, or at least largely confined to evenings, as we are assured by Mr. Pratt, proprie tor of botlChalla J. I. Depew returned^ Monday from the blacksmiths' association at Lin coln, and we understand was placed on the executive committee of same. Tuesday afternoon while Miss Jess Lelningerand Mrs. V. A.

Certainly VVra. Larsen of the Mer cantile Co., is out of luck. Only a short time since, as noted in these columns, he was the principal in an exciting runaway. Op Monday of this week, while openijng a large box of merchandise, a board sprung back and the nail therein passed clear through the index Anger of his left hand, pinning him to the box. It was a most painful wound, but prompt treatment was had and no serious results are liable to follow. Mrs. Abbie Gilbert returned home last Thursday from a four weeks’ visit with her son, Myron, at Ewing, and with relatives and friends at Norfolk, Tilden, Wisner, and on the way home stopped off for a visit at Grand Island. She reports her son as able to work, but suffering severely from his injuries received last spring, when he had both bones in his left leg broken, also the instep fractured, and has been passing through a very hard siege. He had just returned home from Aling on a Kinkaid claim when his mother arrived. Every line in a newspaper costs the proprietor something. If it is for the beneAt of the individual it should be paid for, says the Verdigre Citizen. If the grocer was asked to contribute groceries to one abundantly able to pay for them, he would refuse. The proprietor of a newspaper must pay for the free advertising if the bene iiciary does not, and yet it is one of the tiardest things to be learned by many, that a newspaper has space in its columns to rent and must rent it to live. To give away rent for any thing less than living rates is as fatal to a newspaper as it would be to a landlord. For Sale. Five acres of land, good house and barn, pasture, windmill, etc., Inside the city limits. Splendid place to raise hogs and chickens. Inquire of Mrs. Mathew. OPERA HOuH Friday, Dec. 3rd Ed.

Conhiser pays highest market price in cash for live poultry. A Real Show. The masterly manner in which the playwright has handled the time honored theme of “the one who has been more sinned against than sin ning” in his rural offering, “The Farmer’s Daughter,” which is ac knowledged to be the successor of “The Old Homestead” and “Way Down East,” has left little to be asked by the theatre patrons who love this class of drama. He has created characters from the lowest to the star with a commendable fidelity to nature and a breath of the clover laden hills of New England permeates the action of the story mid the big hearted, simple-loving country folks of the East.

School Notes Mr. Perdew. deputy state superin tendent, visited the high school to inspect the normal work, Nov. 12tli; and seemed well pleased with the work. On account of the basket ball game at Wolbach, several of the nor mal training class were absent. Rev. Bates, the Episcopal rector, visited the high school Tuesday morn ing and delivered a short address. The chief points were the acquisition of knowledge, how to use books and the training of the faculties. He quoted from the book, “Who’s Who in America,” which stated that an uneducated man has only six chances in a thousand and all large corpora tions prefer educated people.

The football team gave a basket social at Society Hall Tuesday even ing for the benefit of the team. A fine time was enjoyed by all. The Family Reading Problem. To find reading that satisfies one’s ;raving for the bright and attractive, &nd is at the same time perfectly suitable for impressionable young people, is at times difficult. The best magazines are admittedly published rormature readers only. The Youths’ Companion alone is for all the family. While the editors keep in mind the eager desire of the young for tales of action, enterprise and adventure, these stories in The Companion are so well written as to fascinate men and women in all stages of life’s jour ney. And this is true not only of the fiction in The Companion, but of the entire contents. The articles, by famous writers, convey knowledge that is useful to the wisest and most experienced as well as to the im mature. In short, The Companion solves the reading problem for the entire family. It is entertaining and It is “worth while.” Every new subscriber will find it of special advantage to send at once the H.75 for the new 1910 Volume. Not inly does he get the beautiful “Vene tian” Calendar for 1910, lithographed In thirteen colors and gold, but all the Issues of The Companion for the remaining weeks of 1909, from the time the subscription is received.
