Whenever and wherever you see an

withwhat strong ties they are [Sound to

and it seems that the nearer they ap
proach the path that leads “over the

The Athenzum, the only public library

in a bad way financially, and unless
assistance is given it the ropms will be

The Athenzum is one of the best insti

erly supported, would be a source of
much pleasure and do a vast amount of
good, especially among the young peo

The bicycle riders were out in force,
and, after the reading of the minules of
previous meetings, they presented ape
tition asking the council to modify
tue ordinance preventing the rid
ing of bicycles on sidewalks. Their
request was granted, and Wheel
men can now use the sidewalks
under certain res'rictions. The main
features of the new ordinance are that
bieyclists shall ride only on the outer
edge of sidewalks, dismount or ride off
the sidewalk when passing old men, and
women and children. Penalty tor vioia
ting the ordinance is from $5 to $25.
Benham Bros., who had been enzaged
to make a numbering plat for the city,
submitted their work, and it was re
ferred to the st et committee for
approval. A resoluiion was adopted by
the counci! that it was the desire of that
‘body that all preperty ¢wners hive their
buildings numbered, Alderman Dean
sugyested the idea thas tue cily have all
the houses nambered and tax the owners
to pay for the numbers, bu? abandoned
it later.
The matter of posting the streets was
referred t; the street committee.
The name of East Boundary street was
changed to Crawford street in honor of
Governor Crawford, who don ted to the
city the land, twenty acres, on which the
college standas. The street running from
the water tower to College street was
named Nelson Avenue.
City Attorney Laing was present and
gave it as his opinion that the payment
of $2,000 a yea ftor water rent
could be successfully resisted, but
did not believe that the naa
chise granted the company ¢ uld be suc
cessfully attacked. As to the franchise,
however, he was not fully prepared to
give an opinion, and he was granted
further time in which to investigate.
The compary is being corresponded
with for the purpose of ascertaining up
‘on what terms the works can be bought.

. VERY HIGH STAKES.
Throwing Dice for a Gold Mine Worth
Half a Million.
Samuel I. Silverman and Dick Sher
wood each owned a halt interest in a
valuable gola mine in Okanogan county,
says the Spokane keview. They decided
Saturday that there wasn’t room for two
in its management and hit upon a true
western expedient for settling their busi
ness difficulties. But they didn’t call
for pistols for two with coffee for one or
go out on the open greensward behind
the hotel and fight with bowie knives.
There was a quicker way than that, and
it was much safer. Sherwood and Sil
verman called for a dice box and the
‘regulation number of dice instead.
‘“How shall it be?” asked Silverman,
with a name-your-weapon expression on
his face,
“Three shakes, horses,”” Sherwood
replied, and as every one knew what
' that meant there were no farther prelim
‘inaries
~ Both men were as calm and collected
‘as if an immense fortune had not been
‘at stake. Silverman shook first. He
‘got two pairs, fours and trays, in three
series of hopes and fears. Sherwood
was sure he could peat that, and he did,
with three aces the first rattle out of the
box.
“Rollow your hand,” said Silverman,
still unmoved. Sherwood shook, and so
did Silverman. The latter won, That
made it ‘‘horse and horse.”’
Silverman rattled the bones long but
gently with a short, circular motion sug
gestive of deep thought. I'hentwo pairs
rolled out, fours and trays. He tried to
“fill’””? and failed once. He again at
tempted the same feat. Then with a
glad smile he laid the box aside. The

claim will be called the Monte Carlo by
