Epoch.
The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such a re-
markable event is treasured in the memory
and the agency whereby the good health has
been attained, is gratefully blessed Hence it
is that so much is heard in praise of Electric

ton to health to the use of the Great Altera-

Specifications for stone storm water

mated cost is to be $4,000. Mr.. Buck
eridge moved that the plans be accepted
and the sewer ordered built.
Mr.. Downing seconded the same
and the clerk was authorized to advertise
for bids.
Estimates for curb and gutter on East

recently done on North Market and North
Main streets, and an appropriation ordi-
nance was passed to cover this expense.
Mr.. Pratt said he had examined that
work on the east side of Market between
First and Second streets, and did not
think it satisfactory. He moved to not in
cude that, until again examined by the
city engineer and the committee, but was
the only one voting his way.
At this juncture Mayor Allen stated
that as there are to be only two more regu-
lar meetings of ths present council, he de-
sired all of the committees to finish up

ings, upon ali matters now in their hands.

pLUMBERs CONVENTION.
Quarterly Meeting Held in This City Yester-
day-Business transacted.

The state association of Master Plumb
ers met in Garfield opera house this morn
ing, the occasion being regular quarterly
meeting.
The cities of Topeka, Kansas City Kan,
Leavenworth, Atchison, Hutchinson,
Newton, ElDorado, Manhattan, Lawrence
and Salina were well represented, and the
interests of jobbers and manufacturers
from Kansas City, st. Louis and Chicago,
were looked after by representatives.
The meeting was called to order by
President William f. Mccarthy,
of Topeka, who introduced to the
association Mr.. W. J. Kelleen, of this city
That gentleman, on behalf of the local
plumbers, extended welcome to the Wis
itors.
Alter the preliminary business of the
meeting President Mccarthy rendered his
resignation, the grounds being that be
was about to move to Denver and would
be unable to look after the interests of the
association. His resignation was received
with regret, as he has been president Of
the association since its organization, some
four years, and it is mainly through his
persistent effort and untiring zeal that the
organization has reached its precent pros
porous condition.
In accepting the resignation Mr.. j. E.
Lord, of Newton, on behalf of the mem
bers, in characteristic and able speech, in
which he expressed approval of the past
administration, assurances of the appreci-
alton of the work which had been done,
and as token of the good wishes of the
membership, presented Mr.. Mccarthy
with very unique, original and valua-
BILE valuable badge, the design being a
shield of gold with raised edge; in the cen
ter plumbers metal pot filled with met
al appropriately arranged above and below
being tools of the craft. This shield being
connected to a cross bar of pipe with a
chain, the pipe having plumbers wiped
joint in the center, and the whole being
crowned by the monogram OF the gentle
man in letters of gold.
After this transaction Mr. James Foley
of Leavenworth, was elected president to
fill the vacancy, and the meeting went
into executive session for the transaction
of business relating to the welfare OF the
craft.
Conversation with members and speeches
on various sanitary questions show that
the public are daily becoming more fully
aware of the Importance of thorough sani-
tary work, and the fact that the leading
cities of the state are making laws
governing plumbing work and appointing
inspectors of plumbing, prove that the
master plumbers of the state of Kansas
are obtaining desirable results through
their organization. Some surprise being
expressed that Wichita, SO near the front
in most matters should be at all behind in
matters of sanitary inspection.
At $50 p. m. the visitors INDUCED in a
substantial lunch spread by the local
members, and after vote Of thanks was
extended to Wichita for her entertainment
the meeting adjourned to meet in Topeka
the End Monday in May.
