CITY PROPOSES INCREASED PAY FOR FIREMEN

Ordinance Introduced at Council Would Provide $5 Raise for all Members of Department. City fathers looked Into the municipal wallet after they were warned that there wai a balance of little more than two thousand dollars on hands. On the prospect of securing money from the collection of fall taxes, council passed on first reading an ordinance which provides for the appropriation of $3,900 of unappropriated money to be used to pay the city's share of street, sewer and ally improvements ; $100 to go to the board of works' miscellaneous fund, and $1,600 to be spent by the city light plant for transformers and wire to be used with the new lighting system. More Pay for Firemen. The committee on ordinances surprised council by presenting an ordinance which provides for an increase of $5 a month in the salary of all firemen. The budget provided for a $5 raise for captains only, and Mayor Robbins warned the body that the general raise would be too costly to the city. Firemen now receive $70, regardless of their station. The fire chief's salary will be raised to $100 a month, and the salary of the assistant chief will be $90 a month. "If that ordinance is passed we will have to cut out the fire truck," the mayor announced, and recommended a new ordinance be introduced providing only for increases to captains. The report of the city finances follows: Balance September 1 $13,701.85 September receipts 8,935.06 Total 22,638.91 Expenditures $20,410.03 Balance October 1 $ 2,228.88 The expenditures were swelled by the street department expense of $11,418.19.

The report follows: Balance September 1. $18,175.68 Income 9,439.45 Total 27,615.13 Disbursements 7,869.44 Balance $19,745.69 EATON CLUB ELECTS EATON, O., Aug. 20.

Cy FELTNAN

Ruler of Belgium

King without Home

King Albert of Belgium, who has been forced, at the point of the bayonet and the big German siege guns, to establish his capital on French soil. Up until the time that he sent word to his brave soldiers at Liege to hold out against the Germans, few people had heard much of Albert Leopold Clement Maria Meinrad, king of the little country, whose fertile fields have been the battle ground of Europe for centuries. There are few things that this accomplished king cannot do or has not done. He fights, as well the Germans know, he swims, flies aeroplanes and is an engineer and author of no mean ability. As a newspaper correspondent he made his mark in Brussels and Antwerp. He is an extensive traveller and spent some time in the United States in 1898.

"Then Reller suggested that inasmuch as we did not know Yount we ought to enter into a contract. He did not take to this suggestion so Reller asked him he would put up something as a guarantee of good faith. Yount only had a ten dollar bill, a five dollar bill and some silver so it was finally agreed that he should post the ten dollar bill. He handed it to Reller and Reller pushed it over to me. Latter I gave this bill back to Reller who marked it for evidence. "Before leaving Yount asked me if I would not take him around to some of the cigar stores and saloons to see about placing the machines. I told him that this would not look very good on my part and I also told him that I did not think it would be good policy for my secretary to do so either. It was then agreed that we would have some man meet him at a hotel that evening and show him about town. Yount was satisfied and left the roem. I forgot to say that I was to go on Yount's payroll October 31." Reporter Springs Trap. The sequel to this story that the mayor tells relates how the prosecutor met a newsDaoer man and "let htm ia", on the story. At first the reporter was reluctant to believe that any man would make such a brazen proposal without first being absolutely certain that he was offering a bribe to a man who would "stay bought." The reporter, however, finally agreed to take a hand in the game, bo at 7:30 o'clock last night he went to the hoteL A man approached him and asked him if he was "looking for anybody." "I am looking for a man by the name of Yount," replied the newspaper man. "That's my name," was the answer. Yount was then informed that they were to go to a certain Main street cigar store and meet the proprietor. They then left the hotel. Enroute Yount remarked, "you understand that I am in the slot machine business?" "I do," replied the escort. "And you understand that all 'arFeltman's Famous Are Worn By

"You were told, weren't you, to tell this man that everything had been ar ranged and there would be no trouble over operating the machines here? "Oh. certainly, laughea trie re porter. Arrested by the Chief. At the cigar store the proprietor was somewhat startled and very incredulous when informed both by Yount and the newspaper man that "everything had been arranged" for locating the machines in Richmond and that there "would he no trouble." He finally gave his order for a machaine, saying that if they were to be placed here he might as well have one. "Now let's go to the next place," said Yount, and they started out but by previous arrangement Chief Goodwin and William Eversman, a police commissioner, met the couple at the door. "Your name is Yount?" asked the chief. "It is," replied the alleged A SURE WAY TO END DANDRUFF Stop Falling Hair and Itching Scalp At Once. There Is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that Is to dissolve it, then you destroy It entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon rrom any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, moBt if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve, and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you value your hair, you should get rid of dandruff at once, for nothing destroys the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, hut it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and everybody notices it. Adv.

him in. Enroute to the city building Yount remarked that his captora seemed, to be "good, fellows", and he was not worried, and, in truth, he bore himself very jauntily and never once lost his self composure. In default of bond Yount was compelled to spend the night in the city jail instead of his comfortable hotel room. A north end business man said today when Yount arrived here yesterday he arranged to have his machines stored in the back room of his store and left one of them there. This man got Yount into communication with the mayor, he Bald today, and about 6 o'clock Yount came to his store, he states, saying that "everything had been arranged" and that the machines would be put in. Then this business man asserts, Yount said to him, "by the way, that cost me a little more than I though it would. Can you lend me ten dollars." Makes Touoh for Ten. The business man says he asked Yount what he meant by saying "it had cost him more than he thought it would," to whlch Yount is alleged to have replied, "Oh, you know those fellows I went to Bee." Yount was then advanced the ten dollars to replace the bill he is alleged to have "slipped" ' the prosecutor for the mayor. This morning Yount's father, his wife and two year old son, arrived in Richmond and after engaging Henry U. Johnson and Byram C. Robbins as attorneys arranged to have the young man released on bond. The charge which has beeni placed against young Yount is attempting to bribe a public official. The penalty on conviction is imprisonment for a term of from two to fourteen years. Yount had no statement to make after his release. On the advice of Attorney Johnson the young man's father also declined to make any statement to the press. The death rate among the underground workers of the United King dom increased from 1.25 in 1912 to 1.74 a thousand in 1913. SERVIAN GUNS WIN BIG ARTILLERY DUEL BY LEASED WIRE. NISH, Servia, Oct. 20.

A Chat with Miss Salow on Corset Economy CORSET economy is very well expressed in the following statement made to me by a customer whom I have fitted in MODARTS for several years: "I think it is a mistake to buy a cheap corset Whatever you spend for it is practically a loss. Whenever you wear it you are reminded that you have made a mistake. I would far rather pay a few dollars less for my suit than to do without my MOD ART. Every gown I have is so beautiful when I wear it over my MODART." A false notion of economy is to wear a pretty costume over an ordinary corset you cannot have correct lines unless the corset gives you the foundation. Very often a woman will come to be fitted. She will wear a good-looking tailored suit, but its lines are lost because her corset does not mould her figure to advantage. The same suit worn over her new corset effects a marked change. Her figure appears entirely different. The new corset has given her new lines. All this, without a bit of discomfort for the MODART is indeed a comfortable garment to wear. I am very anxious to acquaint you with the merits of the MODART front laced corset. Why not allow me to try one of the new models on your figure. I am sure you will be more than pleased with the improvement m your appearance.
