The new city ordinances will be officially published Thursday of this week, the 15th. and will then go into effect, it will be well for everyone interested to carefully read these ordinances. Many of them have, been the law in this city for years, but this is the first time they have been compiled in a quarter century. With the biggest harvest ever known in Adams county in sight, with everybody busy, with more building going on here than has been known in years, it seems we haven’t much to complain of. You are living in the best community on earth and you ought not to be afraid or ashamed to say so. Remember, if there's anything wrong, it's not pie community, or the times—it's you. The Chautauqua is on. Have you bought your tickets? This is posi-' tlvely the last call. The management has very kindly given the committee until after the close of the entertainment tonight to cheek up and an effort is being made to sell the required jiumber as pledged. The entertainment is the finest ever given by Lite Redpaths and that means it is the best on earth. It's a good thing for the community—a week of high class music, lecture and instructive entertainment. It’s up to you to boost. Five of the 127 men originally indicted tailed to appear because no such persons can be found Mtr known to exist. Curiously enough, though Mr. Taggart stands charged with having conspired with five persons who do not walk this earth to carry the election in Marion county for the democratic party. If the grand jury’s evidence is as ghostly as the persons who actually conspired with Mr. Taggart to commit felons, the cases properly should be transferred to the land of shades for trial. Seven men arraigned pleaded guilty yesterday. One of them. James Lee. was under bond of $5,000. The others were either under bond or in custody. Immediately after they pleaded guilty those under bond were released on their own recognizance. While merely suspected, they are required to give heavy surety. When they profess guilt, they are freed. Odd. isn't it? — Evansville Courier. ROYAL NEIGHBORS’ NOTICE Every Royal Neighbor, beneficiary and social, is requested to be at the meeting this evening to pay dues and assessments, as the books must be audited and report made this week.

POLICE COURT Marshal Melchi this morning arrested a horse trader by the name of Pen ler. who claims to live in the vicinity of Montpelier and who at present is camping near the north river bridge, on the charge of misrepresenting a horse to Ezra Derickson of near Geneva. It was shown however, that the transaction took place in Mercer county where Derickson had been working and was therefore out of the jurisdiction of the local officers. D. A. Moser was arrested this morning by Policeman Reynolds on a charge of visiting a gambling house, the charge resulting from the raid made last week on the Harry Straub home. He appeared before ’Squire Kintz, pleaded guilty and was assessed a fine of $5.00 and costs, amounting to $13.25. He stayed the docket. o TRY TO PRY WINDOW OPEN Someone, presumably with burgalarious intent, tried to pry open a window of the Jacob Buhler new grocery on the corner of Adams and Seventh streets some time during the night. This morning it was found that a screen had been slipped out and a chisel used in trying to pry open the window, leaving the marks thereof on the ledge. The chisel was evidently too small because the attempt was uu-1 successful. A strict watch will be kept in the future. o AUTOMOBILES COLLIDE. Dr. C. S. Clark's automobile, turning the corner from the west, and an automobile driven from the north by an Italian from Fort Wayne, collided at the corner of Monroe and Second streets in this city yesterday afternoon.

From My Narrow Little Window By THE HOOSIER OBSERVER “The Musiard Pols Os Life"

The mustard pots of life. Tiue they add zest and spice and vim to life and its staff. But we can get along just as well without them. 1 hey stimulate, add telish. but no real good. And the cost! Toot often it is the other fellow who has to pay I The mustard cups of life! They are undermining the appetite for real, good, nourishing pleasures and appreciations of life; and are collecting their toll in a gnawing, craving restledsnesß that can only be satisfied by another dip into the mustard pot—and there is some one else too, besides ourselves, who has to help pa? the cost! . Thus I mused as 1 passed my restaurant yesterday afternoon and saw the proprietor wrestling with six large cases labeled "Catsup, which isn’t after all such a big jump to mustard. For several years I have eaten my dinners at the restaurant. Over the lunch counter I see bottles of red catsup; pots of mustard and flasks of Worchester or “pepper" sauce. Now and then, a patron dips in and applies the condiment vigorously to his good, nourishing meat or sandwich, or potatoes, that the false appetite requires to make the food "go down." 1 but little did I think that so great wholesale quantity is used as that with which the restaurant man wrestled in the eases. “Surely, that is not all catsup," 1 said as 1 stopped to watch. “O, but /t is," he said. He explained that each case contained two dozen bottles, that each bottle held a pound of catsup, net; and that six cases lasted only three weeks. The cost was more than sl9. “That is where our money goes,’’ he said. He explained that much of the condiment is used in the evenings by the boy lunchers. on sandwiches and meats, and of course the catsup, mustard and such is furnished without extra cost. It is the free lunch part, because more than six dollars a week is thus given away in catsup alone. Besides this there is the mustard. A sixteen gallon keg lasts about three months. Much less of the pper sauce is used, but enough to help run up the bill. And the restaurant man provides this free to his customers.

The catsup .battles and the mustard cups of life are many, and it is the mustard cup. figuratively speaking, that ts making the high cost of living —whether financially or otherwise—about which so many have spoken and written. The mustard cups are those litle frills and thrills and spills that we could get along just as well without. They are tire fancy paper cases of the cakes we buy; the little cheap prizes that are given away as premiums; the trading stamps; the cheap lacy goods that doesn't wash and wear; the silk stockings; the paper plumes; the luring music of the dance hall and pool room; the auto-joy-rides; the pastry sales that sleight-of-hand-like convert hubby's grocery bills and credit into cash, and slips it quietly into the treasury; the multitudinous social societies that every church and lodge finds necessary to stimulate interest; all these things that a false appetite craves to make the "good solid food go down easy.” In these cases, however, unlike the mutard of the retaurant, the purchaser pays the price for the increase —there is no gbod restaurant man to "throw it in.” Not only materially, but religiously. morally, socially and intellectually, there are the mustard pots that are necessary to stimulate the appetite. The sermons must be dressed up in startling costume; history must i»arade itelf in novel-form; “yellow journals" must, color highly little things to get them before the reading public; people must have the unusual in entertainment; there must be the hurly-burly of something going on all the time; a nerve-rending, ear-split-ting clatter and clang to give the color of success to things. And who pays for it? A little calls for more, and there must be another dip into the catsup bottle or the mustard pot. And who pays for it? Mayhap the next generation will get a dun. The dun may be in the form of a wrecked physical or nervous system; a trifling, pleasure-loving nature. laziness, shiftlessness, lightmindedness. infidelity, luke-warmth spiritually-but they will have to pay.
