The stereoscope idea was originated by Miss Moses, the librarian, and no sopner did she conceive* of the idea of providing this form of entertainment for the juvenile visitors than, she brought to the library a stereoscope and pictures from home, and many families who have pictures, which in many cases are being relegated to the attic for the newer forms of amusement, are thinking of coiltributing them to the library supply, where they Will ibe received wftit much pleasure.

Both Railing and Coyerdale pleaded guilty this morning to public intoxication and were x each fined |5 and costs by Mayor Teeple. Coverdale stayed the docket and at time of press Railing was hunting the person who wouln stand sponsor for the same. To add to these as Marshal Peterson was retu-ning from dinner he" spied a Jo-vial-bokliig German fanner, from north of the city—who was, in fact, , |e jovial, as to arouse the suspicion of I’the1 ’the marshal that he arrested him and took him to Jail.

Smith, a Well known young man of this city, some time during Sunday night or early Monday morning. His .lifeless body was found lying at the top of the stairway, which leads from the first floor of the wagon shop on Monroe , street, to the second floor, where he and his partners conducted a plumbing shop. He had -not been seen since Sunday evening, and about 9 daymorning his brother, Vincent, Charles Robinson, the wagon maker, wient to the stop to secure some Eh’7 ticles. As they opened the stair door and glanced upward they saw the body of Albine, and rushing to him found him cold in death. An examlntlon showed that he had been dead for mijhy hours and it is presumed that the end came early this morning. He had a room arranged back of Ms shop, and while he had a room at the Schlickman & Girod restaurant, he sometimes slept at the shop. Mr.’Robinson was at-the shop last evening and says that Albine whs hot there then. He probably spent the night there and arose early this morning.' ih coming down the stairs he evidently slipped and fell backward, stunning him so that in his weakened" condition death resulted. When | found his feet were on the fifth step | from the top, his back across the top step, and his head having struck thb g floor. He had been ill since last June 1 when he suffered ah attack of lead | poisoning which affected bls entire | system and reduced him from afl healthy, robust man to a condition so weakened that he could scarcely move about an<f for months fie had been treated Befe, st Fbrt Wayne anA at S the Kneipp sanitaTfum' at Rome City, ' During the past week he had not improved any and Ms friends feared the end was hot set away, though they did .not khtfcfegte ft so sudden a death'. ’ .As. .’■i-ioM - f WBB found the other relatives were suminoned add the corondr ’ notified. The t body remained In the‘ posftfan found until Dr, Grandstaff arrived. Albine was on the streets Sunday afternoon and was in the Smith, Yager A Falk drug store. Just what time he’went to the shop was hot known, but it is . presumed to haVe been about 8 or 7 ' o’clock. . Mr, Robinson was at the shop at 5:15 and did not see Mm > then. ',* ' ‘' 'J 7 ?ft Albine B. Smith was born in this city thirty years ago; being the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Smith. He was reared here and when a young man learned the plumber’s trade. He was industrious and a good workman, and for some years has been a member of the firm of Smith Bros, ft Company* plumbers. “Beanie,” as he was known, was a good fellow and had many friends. During his sickness the past summer an that could ha done tor him was given and the news of his" death caused, a shock to all » who knew him. He is survived by four brothers, B. J., of Smith, Yager | ft Falk drug firm; Lee, of Ft. Wayne; i Lawrence, of Detroit, and Vincent, this city, and by four sisters. Miss Caroline, now Sister Angela, who is. i teaching in Kansas; Mrs. Charles N. ( Christen of this city, Mrs. Charles ' Wilson, who recency returned from the west and is now at the Christen home, and Mrs. Lee Hindman of St. Joe, Indiana. The body was later removed to the , undertaking rooms of Yaker Bros, ft Rietnking and there prepared for bw> tai. This evening the body will be ■ ? removed to the home of Charles N. 7 Christen on West Monroe street The funeral will probably be held Wednes- t day but the arrangements have’ hot been completed. A post mortem amination was conducted this after- '/ noon by Drs. Clark and Costello and | Coroner Grandstaff. The i general opinion is that an attack of heart trouble caused the young man to fall as he started down the steps, as there was nothing | about the fall whßh
