the purpose of making purchases or
paying off debts, detach goodly sized
bill from large wad Of money and
throw it down as if they were used to
such transactions. The fact is that
more cattle and wheat have been mar

any time since its organization.

If we allow our bodily infirmities to make
away with US through neglect. have we such
an immense moral advantage over the delib-
crate suicide? Scarcely. For example, the
deadly progress of Bright's disease, diabetes,
acute nephtis and gravel, is sure-often ter
ribly swift in the catastrophe. Most people
of average information know that this is the
simple, unvarnished truth in regard to those
widely prevalent nlaladies. To delay judi
cious medication is specially suicidal IN such
cases. The means of restraint is to be found
in Hostetter's Stomach Bltters. Give an i'm
petus to the action of the kidneys with this
safe and reliable d,uretic, and the infant
complaint is shorn at its birth of the power
for evil. Allow it to grow and anticipate the
worst. The Bitters. which annihilates these
growing troubles, also eradicates dyspepsia,
rheumatism, malarial and liver complaints.
Appetite, sleep and vigor are also promoted
by 1t.

'One morning lean, lank, gawky country

him, walked up to my tent and drawled
out, 'Cap'n, one O your d-n men stole my

tinued the Georgian. 81 quickly threw
off my coat and lit into the fight. Well,

THE ELECTRIC CoMpANY's BOND.
City Attorney Hart Informs the Trustee
That 1t Must Stand.

City Attorney Hart Informs the Trustee
That 1t Must Stand.
The City Attorney read mis- opinion 10
the Board of Trustees yesterday on the
question as to whether or not they could
compel the Central Electric Company to
forfeit their bond. He said he had exam
ined the matter carefully, and under the
terms of the contract he could not conceive
of any legal reason which would Justify
the Board in taking the course proposed.
The contract was very carelessly drawn, he
said, and must have been given little atten-
ton when il was passed. No fixed period
of time within which the lighting of the
city by the company should be begun was
designated or provided for in the contract.
and in the absence of such provision il
was to be assumed that the furnishing of
the lights should be commenced within a
reasonable time. Under the terms of the
contract the Board were not invested with
lawful authority to declare the bond of the
company forfeited, and if such al order
were passed by the Board the Courts would
not sustain H.
Trustee Mclaughlin said he didn' t agree
with the City Attorney, and was willing to
test the question in the Courts
y on can't find another lawyer who will
give you different opinion, said Mr..
Hart
Yes, can,' said Mclaughlin, "and we
can beat the company in Court, too"
Mr.. Hart remarked that the best LAWYERS
in town agreed with him in his opinion,
and continuing he said that the whole fault
lay with the Board that passed the ordi-
nance. II was ''railroaded through in a
very slipshod manner
When the matter vas taken up again,
later in the day, Mr. Mclaughlin COM
mented severely on what be termed the
company's bad faith in us dealing with the
city. He claimed hat it had no right to
secure franchise and then dispose of it.
He insisted on Z vote on his motion. made
a week ago, 10 declare the contract for
feited
M. Wolf said he had asked for the City
Attorneys opinion in the matter, aud he
felt that he should be governed by that of
ficial's advice
The roll was called and Mr.. McLaugh-
Inns motion was lost, the Mayor and Mr..
Wolf voting in the negative.
MIR. Mclaughlin changed his vote TO aye,
and gave notice of q motion to reconsider.

SALvATOR AND TENNY.
Match Race Between These Noted
Horses Announced for To=marrow

horses Announced for Tomorrow.
New YORK, June 23d.-There has not been in
years SO lively an interest in race as now ex-
lists among the turfmen of New York in the
great match of Wednesday to be run between
Salvador and Tenny. The sympathies of the
local racing men are altogether with the latter
horse. The event is looked upon as a duel be-
tween the crack representative of the California
stables and the pet of the New York sports.
New Workers want badly to see California
beaten. The money that was made ON Salvador
on Suburban day was chiefly made by Western
ers. The New York men had faith in their own
horse and backed their judgment. They have
not altogether lost that faith, and there is GER
tain to be full quarter OF million change
hands on the result of the race.
Matches are SO seldom made on the turf that
most turfmen were surprised at the readiness
with which Pulsifer threw the gauntlet after
Iennys apparently conclusive defeat, and at
Haggins equal alacrity in taking it up The
momentaTy 1nducement of $1,000 must have
been an unimportant consideration to either of
the gentlemen, for either Salvador or Tenny
should win many times that amount before the
end of the season.
In fact, the forthcoming struggle may i'm
pair the usefulness of both of them for some
time to come. But Pulsifer thought that his
colt was better than the Californian, and would
not De satisfied of the contrary without one
more trial. Haggin, after careful deliberation,
concluded to grant his rival the coveted op-
portunity.
Racing men are divided on the opinion as to
who will win. Many New Workers who are
most anxious the New York stable should win
are betting on the California horse Still,
Tenny has thousands of backcrs Pulsifier
himself has been heard to tay he will stand to
lose $4,000 if his horse does not beat the Cali
fornian.
sporting man yesterday said: Here's the
vital question. How much better will Tenny
run with only one horse to interfere with him
than he did when trammeled by half dozen
other horses, who kept him from the rail in the
early part of the race and forced him to go a
longer route than his principal adversary? Did
the ground that Tenny lost in the first six fur
longs OF the Suburban equal the three lengths
he was beaten by Salvador at the finish?
Pulsifer says that it did, and claims that
had his horse secured the pole in the Suburban
ana followed 1t as Salvador did he could not
have been beaten"

The Ventilation Fiend.

The winter is past and gone, and the
world is at peace with the ventilation
fends that make life terrible. Ever since
fresh air was invented has the earth been
cursed with people who fancied themselves
appointed to ladle out vast volumes of
fresh but chilling air to nervous, timid,
delicate people, who don't want pint OF
it.
The ventilation idiot-who has not seen
him? Who has not suffered at his pitiless
hands? Who has not longed to kill him?
He haunts the railway train and makes
his dwelling in the church; he goes to the
theater; he invades your Office; he tram
pies upon the sanctity of your home, and
wherever he goes he brings with him
blasts from Greenland and theories from
the stormy caves of Eolus. And he
sweeps down upon you and your tranquil
home like a tornado, and he overwhelms
with fresh air until you want to suffocate.
How you do hate him. the man whose
hobby is ventilation.
He dresses always in manner peculiar
to his tribe, does the fresh-air idiot. He
wears two pairs of woolen stockings and
heavy cork-sole shoes, two suits of flannel
underwear, a chamois chest protector,
double-knit jacket, woolen vest, a double
breasted coat, lined pantaloons that weigh
eighteen pounds, fur gloves and seal-skin
cap pulled down over his ears. Then he
goes around Dragging how he never wore
an overcoat in his life.
He bangs in upon you in your office.
"Whoop" he cries, "what an ovenl" and
he leaves the door wide open and tor
rent of icy wind rushes in and bathes your
slippered feet in chill that doesn't leave
them for week, after which he throws up
all the windows.
He sits down beside you In the railway
car, and as soon as he sees you take off your
overcoat, makes you sit next to the win
dow, and then opens it upon you. He is
the nuisance of nuisances- .Sittinqs.
