Public Heading Jtooni.
Probably ono of the greatest
needs in thu city at this time is a
public reading room , where both
women and men can upend an oc
casional hour in recreation , reading
and social chat. The Ladies libra
rary at-aooiation for ten joars hava
fpont a great do.il ol' energy , time
and money to provide a suitable li
brary for lh" leading public and
have in that lime accumulated about
1000 volums of choice literature , by
Mhicli many of our oilir-onB have
been benefited by the use of good
books at a small cost whioh they
could not have otherwise secured.
The members of the association are
deserving tlio giatitude of tlio en
tire community for the grand work
they have accomplished along this
line. But us thu receipts from the
use of the hooks have been i.iada *
quate to do bettor , they have been
compelled to keep their library in
Norm * email room where the public
uuuld only have access to it one at
tern * on in a week and it has come
far short of rnrnishing the aceom-
modalinns that the demands of a
city of the p.i/.u and intelligence of
Broken Bo\v demand. To save thu
expense of room rent on pelhioo of
a large number of citissons the town
ship board has granted thu use of
the township building east of thu
court liouso for this library. Yet
this will not in our opinion muol
the public neods. The room is lee
Hmall for a reading room , such as
the city should havo. There is an
other move inaugurated , at the head
of whioh is the ' Young Peoples So
cieties" of the several churches ,
which has for its object a public
reading room. But in our opinion
while the move is a good ono and
HOMO good no doubt will cotno of it ,
neither or both combined will moot
our ideal.
There are a number of younj
people as well as some older ones
who feel that they must get out of
evenings and suu what is going on
outside of their homes or places of
business. To accommodate this
class as well as others w ho may
avail themtiolvua of the opportunity
a place should bo provided where
both young men and women can rc-
iort ard spend their idlb time in so
cial talk or roadiug as they may
elect. A building with at least
three looms should bo provided
where the women and men can have
seperato departments from the li
brary proper , yet where either or
both together can outer the library ,
where absolute quiet ie maintained
for the purpose of reading. Lot
thu ladies and gentlemen's rooms
bo provided with tables , chairs , pa
pers and magazines , where more of
a social time may be enjoyed. Butte
to establish a resort of this charact
er it cannot bo maintained from a
financial standpoint unless backed
and controlled by a substantial or
ganization by which a systematic
plan ie adopted to meet the necoBua
\ ry expense. Someone must bo em
ployed whoao duty it is to have
charge of the rooms and see that
propoi decorum is observed , as well
as to meet other incidental expenses.
Such a plan behove
wo can ho car
ried out , if the citizens will organ
ize and secure a monthly pledge
from those who feel like helping
the matter along. Could this be
done and then the Ladies Library
Association and the Young People
enter into the arrangement , each retaining -
taining their individuality yet co *
19 operate wun each other wo , believe
we oould have reading rooms and a
library that would be an honor to
the town I ud of great benefit to the
public. Such a place should in
nuitablo weather bo kept open alter ,
noons and evenings six days in the
week.
THE CITY FLECTION.
Tbe city election passed off quiet
Jy. The
principle question in
which all wore intenHtud was li-
'I hero was noint content ,
J

judge , city clurk and uounnilmnii in
thu first and third ward * . Only
one UMH defeated on tlio republican
ticket and that was In thu first
ward , where two republicans wore
contesting for the same place. In
that CUHO 0. II. Conrad , the citizen's

DIKD KA.NIUN Tuesday , April 3
at 10 o'clock a , in , in this city
Mrs. Catherine Kankiu , of pnti-
moniu , ago 82 years.
The docoaod was not regarded se
riously sick until the evening before
her death. She was a member of
the United Presbyterian church and
wvs a faithful christain. She was
the mother of twelve childro" , of
whom eight survive lior. Her
homo had formerly been at Murray ,
this state , until last fall when she
consented to make her home with
her children here. Her children
hero are Mrs. R. Ryorson , Mrs
Nary Rankin , Miss bailie Rankin ,
W. F. Rankin and Mrs. McMillan ,
of Thedford. She has two girls
living in Pennsylvania and a son ,
Joseph , living at Murray. Thu
funeral torvioes were conducted at
10 o'cloo ; this morning in the
Christian church , Rev. J It Tci-
garden olh'oiatinf , , assisted by Rev
McDonald. Hoi icmains wore laid
to rest here , with the view of ro-
moviug them later to Murray to be
buried beside her husband , who
preceded her to the world beyond.
The RKPUIILIOAN extends to the
relatives bincoro sympathy in their
sjroat bereavement. The floral
offerings were olaborale , and only
in a small degree manifested the
great love and esteem of her child
ren and friends. The funeral was
largely attended.
WHO ARE THE TAX-PAYERS.
The time for the payment ot ( ho
taxes was approaching. John am
Elizabeth Franklin wore driving to
town on a Sattirdiy morning , and
as they were making their piano for
the future , John remuked : "Now
Kli/ibeth , in a few weeks I must
pay the taxes , and every cent which
I make from the sale of the I'o
must ho saved for that purport ) . So
you must buy flour , sugar nud oof.
foe for the family , and llio now
Iroasos for the girls , and the pints
for the boys , with the money from
your butter and eggs and chickens.
I know that you have worked hard
t ) make the butter and raise the
chickens , and that you ought to
spend the money in a cloak for
yourself , and P carpet for the bitting
room , but the taxes must be paid , or
wo shall lose our homo. "
"But John , they will not bring
enough to buy so many things ; you
certainly can HpoirJ a few dollar *
for the flour and the sugar , " the
woman answered meekly.
'Not at all , Elizabeth ; the taxes
are higher this year than they were
last , and 1 cannot spare a cent. If
you can't buy all that wo need to
day , you botlor bring in some of
those young turkeys to the hotel
keeper next week. I really cannot
eparo any money for the groceries
for some time. "
So Elizabeth sold her turkeys
and still unable to supply the wants
of the housuhold , she applied lior
earnings on the butter and eggs for
povoral weeks on the family gro
ceries , and she wore her old cloal
the enliro season , while John saved
the monny from the hogs to pay
the taxee.
That winter John was a m.mber
of the legislature. A bill extend
ing the elective franchise to women
was introduced , and the president
of the State Woman Suffrage Asso
ciation plead for the passage of the
bill , contending that thu taxation
of women without representation in
the government was no moro just
than the taxation of men in 1770.
Hut it wan a new idea to John ,
and as he sat meditating over hur
addrofH , ho remarked : "It's mighty
few women who pay taxes ; my wife
never paid : i cent of lax in all her
life. "
An ho really thought that he
spoke thu truth.
