neer on Main St., was found in a very
filthy condition, no apparent effort
havig been made to clean up in aiy
way.
"The condition of the barn on the
oaclc of the Weinhard place deserves
especial commendation because of the
evident desire to comply with the or
dinances. Connection with the sewer
has been made and a model fly-tight
receptacle, practical and convenient
In every sense of the word has been
installed. In addition, other . private
barns were inspected and found in
very good shape.
"Mr. Albright and Mr. Metzner of
the police and health committee ex
pres3sd themselves as well . pleased
w!th the start made under the new or
dinance and it is inconceivable now
anyone should be opposed to such an
ordiance, especially if they become
laminar with conditions as iney were
before the introduction of this ordin
ance and now that it is but commenc

by the joint committee and duly re

WASHINGTON, D. C, July 1. If
the provisions of the new Jones
Works exercise law, which became
operative today, are strictly enforced
the national capital will probaly be
come the most unpopular place on
the map in the eyes of those who are
in the habit of indulging too freely in
liqurs stronger than grape juice. En
forcement of the new law will put an
end to the practice of the police, com
mon to almost all American cities, of
releasing persons arrested for drunk
enness after they have sobered up
The act stipulates that a charge of
misdeameanor must be made against
a person arrested for drunkenness on
the street or in any public place, anil
that upon conviction he shall be pun
ished by a fine of not less than $1U
nor more than $100, or by imprison
ment for not less than five days nor
more than thirty days. It is anticipat
ed that the prospect of a public trial
an'l a few days on the stone pile at
Occoquan will cause a regular New
York rush for the water wagon now
that the law has come into effect.

AIDES TO HEALTH
LOANED TO LIBRARY
The public library has received
from the state library a loan in the
form of a most interesting collection
of books on public health and sanita
tion. Just now, when so much is be
ing said and so much effort is beine
put forth to secure an adequate sup
ply of pure water for the city, these
books should be of especial interest.
There is material also on the trans
mission of disease by means of flies
and othor living creatures, which
should be of assistance in the "Swat
the Fly" campaign, or its more effec
tive follower, the "Starve the Fly'
movement.
In the collection, besides the books
bearing directly on water supply and
sewage disposal, and the transmission
of germs by insects, there are trea
tises on the cause 'ond prevention of
typhoid and tuberculosis. The books
are practically all popular in char
acter, written in plain and comprehen
sible EnEglish, which anyone can un-
aerstana. ...
The books will be at the library for
two or three weeks, or loger if peo
ple wish them. They may be borrow
ed the same as the library's own
books.

the lines and tugged with all his
srength. In his confusion he grasp
ed the wrong line, and the horses,
trained to obey the pull, swung back
from the shore -and plunged out into
deep water again. As the wagon was
turning Murphy picked up his son and
leaped to shallow water, a minute
later wading to land.
The horses, once more in deep wa
ater, and tired with their former
struggle, found the weight of the
wagon too much for them, and were
carried down towards the mouth of
the river. They made another effort
to reach shore, however, but as they
were nearing land their feet became
entangled in reeds, and the weight of
the heavy wagon carried them down.

TO PROVIDE FANCY MUSIC !
The original company of the Tyro
lean Alpine Singers, well known
throughout the East, is to be one of
the big musical features of Chautau
qua which opens next Tuesday at
Gladstone Park. As this is the first
western appearance of this unique
compuy of musicians, their coming is
eagerly anticipated.. The Tyroleans
hail from the snow-capped Tyrolean
Alps, appear in their native peasant
garb, and feature the quaint folk-lore
melodies of their -peasant homes. Not
only do the Tyroleans sing, but they
plav most beautifully on the native
Swiss musical instruments, and their
"yoddling," characteristic of the
Swiss mountaineers, is said to be
really wonderful. The Tyroleans are
now touring North Dakota enroute
West, and will appear at Gladstone
for two performances on the 10th of
July.

A SCARED CRIMEAN TAILOR.
Whtn Pounced Upon by Hi Majesty's
General, Who Cloaked His Mission In
Mystery, the Knight of the Shears
Thought His Time Had Come.
By special permission of the court
authorities an amusing account Is pub
lished of the circumstances attending
the ordering of a military (inform by
the czar from a little tailor In the
Crimea, Khaim Knrichkess by name,
who lived at Simferopol, the headquar
ters of the Crimean dragoons.
When the imperial family came to
Lividai. and some days before the an
nual fete of the Crimean dragoons, the
czar told the colonel that he had In
store a gift for him and the regiment--the
"czarina had consented to become
their chief. His majesty added: "1
shall be there when you and your of
fleers are presented to the empress
and shall wear your uniform. The
only thing is, I-believe I haven't the
uniform of the regiment. But that
doesn't matter, there is time, if you
hurry, to have one made. -You seem
to have an excellent tailor. Your uni
form fits beautifully. Who made it?"
The colonel gave the name of Kurich
kess. whereupon his majesty asked him
to arrange that Kurichkess should
make a uniform for himself, adding,
smilins, "Tell him to do his best and
to turn it out as well as yours."
There is next given a seriocomic de
scription of the alarm occasioned
among the Kurichkess household, con
sisting of father, mother and nine chit,
dren, when a handsome motorcar stop
ped outside their door and a cloaked
general officer descended.
The general said in staccato sen
tences: "You must come with me.
Don't be frightened. You'll know
later where I'm taking you. I can't
leave without you. We've lost much
time already. Get dressed quickly."
The tailor obeyed, went with his cap
tor and was absent for four days.
Mme. Kurichkess was doubtful wheth
er she was a wife or a widow.
Eventually the tailor turned up safe
and recounted his adventures. The
drive with the general had lasted two
hours and a half. During the whole
journey the general did not address a
single word to. him. When they reach
ed their destination, Yalta, all he said
was, "Khaim Kurichkess, get out and
follow me." -
He was assured that he need not be
alarmed? he would be provided with
lodging and with food, and the next
day he would be told why he had been
brought to Yalta and what he had to
do. He was told he need not try to
escape, as he would be watched.
His fears were dissipated when a
colonel entered the room, and the "gen
eral of generals" addressed him to the
following effect:
"Great good fortune has fallen upon
you. His majesty the emperor wishes
you to make for bim a uniform of the
Crimean dragoons. But it must be as
good as that of the colonel of the regi
ment. 1 hope you won't make a mess
of it. I. will take you at once to the
palace, where you will be admitted to
the czar's study to see his majesty's
figure." .
When the "general of generals" took
Kurichkess to the czar's study his maj
esty was standing reading a document
with his back to the door. Some min
utes elapsed before he turned around.
In the meantime Kurichkess was root
ed to the floor.
The czar on realizing his presence
faced him and said: "Oh, you are here
already! You are Khaim Kurichkess,
the tailor. I want you to make me a
uniform of the Crimean dragoons. Do
your best and see that it is a good fit
Get to work at once."
Kurichkess went on to describe how'
God had helped bim in his work and
how satisfied the czar had. been with
the uniform and thanked him for it.
Kurichkess refused to accept any
thing in payment, but "his" general in
sisted that, according to law, he was
obliged to receive 50 rubles "for his
expenses. Moreover, the general added,
the minister of the court was aware
that Kurichkess was in debt, and he
gave the tailor an envelope containing
300 rubles from the minister to dis
charge bis obligations.
Kurichkess was driven back in a
motor to Simferopol, and some days
later an imperial messenger brought
to his shop a case containing a gold
watch and chain. The double eagle
was engraved on the watch, which also
bore the inscription, "To Khaim Kn
richkess for Zeal." Argos.
A "Lady" Is Defined. -
The definition of a gentleman has
puzzled many, but what of the lady?
A depositor on opening an account
described herself as a factory hand.
When withdrawing money she gave
her description as "lady." The post
master was asked to be careful as to
identity before paying the money.. His
reply was. he was quite satisfied it
was the depositor's way of saying she
was out of work. London Spectator.

Greenland Whales.
The great Greenland whale has no
teeth, its baleen plates, or whalebone,
taking their place. Along the center of
the palate runs a strong ridge, and on
each side of this there is a wide de
pression along which the plates are -inserted.
These are long and flat, hang
ing free, and are placed across the
mouth with their sides parallel and
near each other. - The base and outer
edge of the plates are of solid whale
bone, but the Inner edges are fringed,
filling up the interior of the month and
acting as a strainer for the food, which
consists of the small swimming mot
lusks and medusae or Jellyfish. Ex

WASHINGTON, July 1. The col
lect-on-delivery feature was added to
the Parcel Post department of the
of the postal service today. Under
the new regulations a parcel bearing
the required amount of parcel post
stamps may be sent anywhere in the
country, and the amount due from
the purchaser collected and remitted
by the postoffice department.
The parcel must bear the amount
due from the addresses, and the col
lection will be made if the amount is
not in excess of '$100. The fee, 10
cents, is to be affixed by the sender
in parcel post stamps, and will insure
the parcel for no more than $50. '
The collection feature was not pro
vided when the parcel post system
was put in operation, because it was
desired to simplify the work of post
masters as much as possible in , the
first days of the service.

He Had a Suggestion. .
' A Sunday school class was studying
a misfsioinary lesson, and the teacher
was telling of customs among the Es
kimos. She said:
"I have read an. article by a traveler
among these people, and it is the duty
of the Eskimo's wire to chew her hus
band's clothes to keep llieiu soft and
pli;il)le, as the skins get stiff, and
therefore a woman is chosen accord
ing to her chewing ability, every man
endeavoring to get a wife with strong
teeth."

Mayor Linn E. Jones and City Re
corder Livy Stipp have signed a con
tract with the Orsgon Bridge & Con
struction company for the construc
tion of the public elevator at SevouLh
street, the price to be $11,983. This
action follows out the will of the peo
pla as expressed at the last election,
when a bond issue of $12,500 was vot
ed for the purpose of constructing
such an elevator. The site of the ele
vator was fixed by a special commit
tee otfhe city council, and is "believ
ed to conform to the desires of most
of the people residing upon the hill.
The signing of the contract deals
solely with the construction of th-s
elevator tower, the installation there
in of a hydraulic elevator, the erec
tion of a bridge from the top of tha
tower to the top of the bluff, and the
building of a waiting room at the bose
of the tower. Under the contract the
city will deliver water to operate the
elevator at the base of the towr.
Just where this water will be pro
cured, and how the pressure' will be
obtined is still an open question, now
agreement with the water board hav
ing as been reached in the matter.
Probably the city will install special
mains and a gasoline pressure pump.
