sneak thief entered the Lincoln House last night through the front door, which is left unlocked to accommodate the guests coming in at night, and stole about seven pounds of meat and a large crock of milk out of the refrigerator in the dining room.

Dr. Ballard was called and it was thought at first that amputation would be necessary but on further examination it was found that the bones were not mashed and the hand could be saved.

This is a sad mishap to Mr. KaufFman but he feels thankful that his hand is saved. It will probably be at least a month before he will be able to wofk again. The Library Question. As the tax voted at the spring election for the maintenance of the public library and reading room is not due and collectible until next January, some other means will have to be provided for the keeping open of this institution.

The council and mayor were in favor of settiag aside 8400 of the city's money to be expended in maintaining this enterprise until such tax is collected and turned over to the library trustees at which time' they could pay back the 8400 borrower! from tho city. But it seems the city treasurer is not in favor of this and will not let the money go out of his hands for such a purpose. Of course there is no law compelling the treasurer to turn over this money nor one that says he shall not and it would be more of an accommodation on his part than anything else. We are surprised at tho finding of an intelligent business man in Es- tberville who thinks that the library tax is an imposition on the people and iri favor of closing such a much needed and well patronized institution as this. Tho trustees will have another meeting this week and it is hoped that means can be provided for the keeping open of the library until the tax is collected.
