THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
Another Wrangle Over the Provisions OF
the Eranchise

Another Wrangle Over the Provisions of
the Franchise.
A special meeting of the Board of City
Trustees, called by the Mayor, was held
yesterday morning.
The object of the meeting was to consider
the matter of amending the electric rail.
way franchise, so that it would be accept
able to the present owners of the road, as
we'll as Mr.. Henry. Grove L. Johnson,
Albert Johnson, E. X. Alsip and L, L.
Lewis were the interested parties present
Mr. Alsip addressed the Board and urged
them to amend the franchise as had been
requested at Mondays meeting. The posi-
ton of the owners of the road was fully
explained at that time, and it was shown
how great their risk would be should they
give up their old bonds and accept new
ones. Mr.. Alsip thought the proposition
that the Courts be allowed TO review the
action of the Board was very fair one.
Albert M. Johnson, as attorney for Mr..
Henry, said that almost any amendment
that would suit the proprietors of the road
would be acceptable to his client, but un-
less the former were satisfied with the
amendment they would not sell the fran
chise, and there would be no electric road.
IIuStcc hCLduSullIi Sdiu NE ulQ not De-
lieve in taking all power out of the hands
of the Board and leaving it 10 the Courls.
The Trustees were elected to guard the
peoples property, and they ought to have
immediate control over ell franchise mat
ters. He als1 considered that the meeting
was not legal one as no official notice
had been given to himself or Mr.. Wolf
Mayor Ccmstock read the following pro-
posed amendment, which he said would
be satisfactory to all parties if the Board
passed it:
Ordinance 265 is hereby amended as follows:
After the words upon which said poles are
erected" insert the following: "And provided,
further, that the action of the Board shall be
subject TO review by the proper Courts and the
city shall not have the right to remove nor to
compel the removal of such poles if it shall APP
pear to such Courts that the use and mante-
nance of said system is not unsafe or danger
GUS"
Trustees Mclaughlin and Wolf objected
to the amendment, and another was read
which provided that the words "annur'
and this ordinance and' be stricken out
Of the original fir ,nchise. This was salts
factory to all the members of the Board
and 1t was passed unanimously.
Trustees Wolf and Mclaughlin could
not be prevailed upon to grant the first
amendment asked and the Board ad-
journed.
Mr.. Alsip remarked that the amend
ment passed was not what the owners
wanted, and they did not propose to cloud
the title to their property.

NOBODY COMPLAINING,
Chief Drew's Answer to the Mayor Re-
garding Gambling.

garding Gambling.
Mayor Comstock became alarmed over
the insinuations made by Trustees Wolf
and Mclaughlin at the meeting yesterday,
to the effect that he (the Mayor was at the
head of the police department and could
stop gambling in town il he was at all in
clined to do so.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the Board, the Mayor went'over 20 the Po-
lice Station, and finding Judge Buckley and
Chief Drew there, he called special meet
ing of the Board of Police Commissioners
He began by saying that many people in
town were continually accossing him and
asking why the police did NOT stop the
gambling that was in progress. He began
to feel uncomfortable and had an idea that
the people might possibly go so far as to
suspect that he was lin" with the viola
tors of the law. He wanted it understood
that he was at all times uDfriendly to gam
bling, and never INDUCED in il as past
time. He said there was evidence that all
kinds Of unlawful games were being run,
and wheels of fortune, rondo tables and
other chance games stared q person in the
face at all sides. The block he lived in
was, he understood, one of the worst in
tOWu. duu almost carried away Dy gam
blers. This, he considered, looked very
bad for himself from the fact that he lived
in the midst of gambling. He asked Chief
Drew if he thought the officers were doing
their duty.
The Chief said that he believed the off
GERS were doing what they considered their
duty. So far no complaints had been made
at the Police Station against the gamblers,
and he thought that if the people were
bothered they had better prefer their
charges against the law violators.
The Mayor named dozen places where,
he said, gambling was going on at full
blast, and he did not see why the officers
were not investigstinga little more closely.
Judge Buckley had nothing to say, be-
yond remarking that he had simply
heard that unlawful gaming was in pro-
gress.
well, so you think the officers will do
their duty, do you, Chief" asked the
Mavor.
Il do was the answer, and the Mayor
said he guessed the meeting bad better ad-
journ.

Medical Aduonce deplores the weakness
and shortsightedness of humanity in prais-
ing physicians to the skies who treat in a
long sickness from which the patient re-
covers aided by strength of his vitality and
the exhaustion of the disease, but that
gives no praise to the doctor for prevent
ing sickness by an accurate prescription
that checks disease in its incipient stages.
That is not to be wondered at. 1t is the
sense of danger that makes US thankful for
the rescue from it. But where we are
prevented by skill from running into dan
ger we are apt to think that, after all, the
i'll might not have come upon us. We
know Of the case of merchant of this city
who will never cease berating his physi-
clan for giving him an especially distaste-
full medicine by deceit, one that for some
time disordered his stomach and gave him
glimpse of the horrors of dyspepsia
Yet it is perfectly well known to the med
ical faculty and to others that had not the
family doctor "thrown" the man just at
the time he did, and thus withdrawn him
pace from business, the patient would
have soon been the victim Of terrible
afiiiction, most likely mental and probably
incurable. If physicians had more cour
age of this ORDER and made preventive
medicine of the heroic order more theil
practice, thsy would more benefit the
world. True, it is to be admitted that
they would receive more curses, less coir
and fewer plaudits-but, then, for what
are they doctors

was a natural born liar. He lied about his

THE NEW PENSIOl

THE NEW PENSION LAW.
The dependent pension bill will make
business for the pension attorneys. The
mails are now burdened with attorneys cir
culars addressed to all the pensionables in
the land, notifying them of their good luck
and inviting them to send along their sppli-
cations. Millions of these circulars have
been lying in Washington for days, all
wrapped up and addressed, ready for the
president to give the signal for mailing them.
One smart firm stole a march on its oompeti-
tors by classifying its matter and sending o
big bale of circulars by express to Cincinnati,
Chicago, st. Louis, Denver, st. Paul and Omaha
to be mailed from there by its agents when
word should come by wire that the presiden.
had affixed his autograph to the parchment.
Under the new law soldiers physically dis
abled not by the effects of vicious habits,
provided they served for ninety days and re-
ceived honorable discharge, will be paid from
six dollars to twelve dollars per month, &C.
cording to the completeness of their disabil-
ity. For the widows of those who are already
dead, provided they have no other means of
support, eight dollars each per month is to
be paid, with two dollars more for each child
of a soldier under sixteen years of age. Each
dependent parent of a soldier killed in bat
tie, or dead from wounds or disability in.
Cured in the service, is to get $l2 per month,
provided he or she has no other means Of
| support.
1t only remains now to give a pension tc
everybody who had anything to do with the
war or everybody who had anything to dc
with anybody who had anything to do with
