If the men who make a practice of doing this sort of thing would pay the usual admittance fee, the club would prosper much better, and would not have to disband on ac count of poor attendance. There is never a game played but that the fence and trees around the park are hanging full'of men and boys. It is the intention, of the management to break up this habit if possible, and if the above method will not stop it, other steps will be taken. Two young men went into J. Saltzer's music store on Tuesday and found Mr. Saltzer's young son Blaine in charge. After looking around a little they went out, and Blaine soon missed a lot of mouth organs. On his father's return Policeman V. S. Fleckenstine was notified, and from the description of the men, he soon found them on the street, and finding the mouth organs on one of them, he arrested both men. Mr. Saltzer agreed to settle with them, and they left a watch and some other property with him as security, and came back next day and paid the money. They are said to belong in Ber wick. The only excuse they gave was that they did it for fun. plishments, and had made quite a reputation by her proficiency in re citine. havine taken part in numer ous church entertainments.
