ALDERMAN SMITHS ORDINANCE.
Why lie Wants Certain Kinds of ManufactO-
ries Excluded from Specified Limits.

Alderman Smith. of the Second district who
is interested in the matter, said to a journal
porter that the ordinance prohibiting the erec-
ton and maintenance of varnish factories oil .
mills, or planing -mis within certain specified
limits OF the city. was introduced into the Coun-
Gil by Mr.. Finch at his personal request, ordi-
nances having to originate in the lower body.
The proposed limits inside which such extra
hazardous and unpleasant manufactures shall
be unlawful are. practically, from First street
on the north to South street on the
south, and for the Big Four tracks on the west
to East street the east. Within this in
hibited territory there is scarcely any vacant
ground suitable for manufacturing. and, there
fore, 1t can not possibly interfere to any appre-
ciable extent with legitimate industry. The
ordinance does not interfere with such manufac-
tories, If there be- any, already in operation, but
simply socks to prevent others from being
started and operated The propriety of such an
ordinance, Mr., Smith believes will scarcely be
Questioned. Such ordinances are the
statute books of other cities. and in
many much more stringent regulations
are prescribed. The ordinance will re-

Allen, representing the fire insurance compa-
mics. The immediate necessity of the ordinance,

and operation of a planngm mill near the corner
of Mississippi and ST. Clair streets, surrounded,

the value of their homes Tho right
of the city to pass such an ordinance is
unquestionabe, and Alderman Smith represent

The residents of that locality think that if mem

and put themselves in their places, there would
be no question of the prompt passage of the
restri ctive ordinance.

A TRAVELLING MANS LECTURE.
An Eloquent Appeal to Win Commercial Men
to the Cause of Temperance.

There was a fair sized audience at Y. M G.. A.

Haines, of the Commercial Travellers Associa-

Mr.. Haines proved to be an eloquent and inter-

was full Of pathos, argument, wit and warning
He told his hearers or the number and influence
of the travelling men in this country. There
were 250, 900 of them. and all were among the

one to GO on the road he did not choose the one
who was the most stupid. but the sharpest. the
most intelligent and the best talker among them.
Consequently the travelling man welded wide
influence.
He alluded to the reputation which travelling
men had In many places. especially In the
smaller towns for immortality, and admitted
that 1t was to n great extent justifable, but.
nevertheless, he declared that there was no

RETURNED TO HIS PULPIT
The Rev. Daniel r. Van Buskirk Has the
Confidence of His Official Board.
At the Close of the Services Last Evening He
Refers to the Charges Against Him
Sermon on Gods Mysteries.

Rev. Daniel r. Van Buskirk reapp cared in his
pulpit in the Third Christian Church yesterday
morning. At the beginning of the services the
official board of the church submitted lengthy
report regarding the charges recently made
against bis character. It stated in substance
that the church had made determined effort to
have the charges fully investigated. but had
failed because the prosecution refused to ap-
pear The question from Judge Taylor's in
struction to the jury in the Dittemore divorce
case, in which he said he could not give weight
to the testimony of a man who would betray
professional secret read. and in conclusion
the report expressed the fullest confidence in the
innocence of Mr.. Van Buskirk and urged the
congregation to stand by him.
At the morning service Rev. Van Buskirk
made no reference to the report, but at the close
of Rev. Chases sermon last night, he asked per-
mission of the congregation TO say word per-
sonal to himself. He said thai he had hereto
fore not spoken Of the charges in public because
he believed the course was for the best He had
asked, and hoped for the fullest investigation,
but as he could not get il. he felt it his dutyto
speak of the matter before his congregation.
Then. in very feeling and impressive manner,
he testified with God as his witness that he
innocent of the charges made against him.
He said he made the statement
before his congregation Knowing the I'M
certainty of life, and because he was will
ing to meet God without moments warning.
He said he had undergone the greatest trial of
his life and had sometimes thought that life
was not worth the living. Referring to his re-
naming with the congregation, he said he did
not desire to continue their pastor twenty -four
hours if his presence would be embarrassing to
anyone, but if it was the desire that he should
continue to labor then he would attempt to be
faithful in the cause as he always had in tho

feet from the surface. It will also
limit high pressure the mains
to twenty pounds. and provide that
the low pressure shall not be greater than three
pounds The testing of all mains under an air
pressure of eighty pounds will be required, and
the introduction of gas into either high, low or
service pines, and house connection is to be pro-
hibted until they have been approved by the
city engineer, and he has given a certificate as
TO the strength and safety of the work. The

CONTESTS AMONG DEMOCRATS.
The Representative and Congressional Cam
didates in the Fifth District.

The Democrats about Bloomington and through
that legislative district are taking part in the
exciting contest between several candidates who
wish TO succeed Representative Worrall. There
is no objection to that gentleman's record as a
law-maker, but there is to the unwillingness he
showed In going into the Democratic caucus last
winter, when a candidate for United States
Senator was nominated. Mr.. Worrall was then
inclined to give Governor Gray what support
he could, but the complications of the contest
were embarrassing to one who had any political
aspirations for the future, SO he adopted a
neutral course and at first remained away from
the caucus He was finally brought into it and
took part In the voting, although the compro-
mise on Turpie did not suit him. He hesitated
sometime whether to cast his vote for that can
d1date in the joint convention. Mr.. Worral,re-
ieves the present situation in his district some
what by saying that he does not want to be re-
turned, as his law and pension business is SO
large as TO need constant attention.
There are six Democratic candidates for the
place.. and John W. Buskirk's friends have
named him as one of them. That gentleman
was at the Grand Hotel last night. and when
asked about his candidacy said: II have been too
busy in the election conspiracy case the past
few weeks to give any time to politics. / am
making no effort for the nomination, but there
are enough hard at work for 1t to cause consid

favoring Matson."
