whatever contract may have been en-

communicate with the company, how.
ever, and inform it in plain terms that
the system has never given satisfaction
and that it would be policy for the
concern to remedy 1t whenever any
defects occur without cost to the city.

on Wednesday, with letter from G..

The government has published re-
port OF the transportation business on
the Ohio river and its tributaries
which shows the benefits OF approprla-
lions for river and harbor improve
ments, though not published for that
purpose. There are 92s miles of navi-
gable water above Cincinnati, and in
all, Sl2, 100, 713, have been expended in
improving the same. But here Ia
where the plth OF the report comes in.
In the year 1899, 100000 passengers
were carried over those tributaries,
and In addition, 10,744,7lS tons of
freight were carried. In this great
trade more than 5000 vessels have been
employed, worth over $1,000, 900, and
4, 444 men were employed on such ves-
sells. 1t is safe to say that but for the
liberal appropriations made by the
general government not one-half this
immense business would have been
done. Democratic papers object to
spending the surplus Of the nation in
this way. They would rather that nc
surplus would come into the treasury.
They oppose ariffbecause it creates
surplus. and yet without this sur

we have referee would not be made

The fields OF sport give evidence OF
how eager the people are to enjoy
themselves, and in those fields there
Is also an eagerness to show what
muscular activities can perform. 1t
Is all very fine, but athletes everywhere
need some safeguard against excess
or imprudence. Tho Troy New York
Press says: "St Jacobs Oil is the
most wonderful pain exterminator ex-
tant. Backache, sprains, rheumatism,
sciatica, neuralgia, headache, tooth
ache, and in fact pain of every charae-
ter, succumb to 1t as II by magic. A
few drops and a few passes Of tho
hand will soothe the tenderest spot.
1t is famous the world over and has
stood the test OF years."

Special Agent Stout, OF the s. p. O.
A., has Just worked up another shock
ing case OF cruelty to q horse. The
defendant was colored man named
James b. Crozier, who resides over
Eleventh street bridge, and from in
formation which Mr.. Stout obtained,
he learned that he had horse which
through i'll treatment and want of
feed, became sick. Crozler then took
the animal and placed 1t In q marsh
lot with nothing to eat, and which was
covered with water when the tide
came In. On Wednesday the poor
beast fell down and laid, partly sub
merged in the water, with the hot sun
almost roasting him.
When, about $50 O'Clock In the even
ing, Crozier learned that Officer Stout
was after him, no killed the animal.
When Mr.. Stout made an examination,
he found that Its shoes had been
wrenched off, and the tail amputated
close to the body.
The Indications were that this had
been done while it was alive. He there
fore arrested Crozier, and he had a
hearing before Squire Smith this morn
ing, when he was sentenced to pay d
fine of $15 and costs.

it might not keep the State under
