REIBERs LITTLE SCHEME.
Aldermen Aner the Concert Hall
Proprietor.


The absence of a quorum at last
nights proposed meeting of the Board of
Aldermen prevented the case of Gustave
Reiber, proprietor of the j. I. C. Music
Hall on Grove street, being acted upon.
Detective Smith did not arrest Reiber
yesterday afternoon and it was said at
the City Hail this morning that Reiber
supported by the representative of the
brewery which is backing him, is making
an effort to patch up the trouble with
Chaplin. 1t appears the same
supplies Chaplin with beer and its repre-
sentative does not relish losing the $3.50
paid for the license procured by Chaplin
for the music hall.
The Aldermen propose calling Chaplin
to the front and compelling him to ex-
plain his action in procuring a license
and then practically transferring it to
a man, who was unable to obtain a IL
censs himself, without first having been
authorized to do SO by the board.
Chief Of Police Murphy's attention has
also been called to q dodge said to have
been employed by Reiber TO let people
know that his place was open on Sun
day. 1t was placing a sign on which
was printed Open in the front win
dow. The Aldermen and police are af-
ter Reiber with a prod.

IS OLD AGE PlTIABLE?
Not While Vigor and Test in
Living Lasts.
Bismarck, Gladstone and Holmes
Full Of Years and Honor.
They Keep Their Blood Well Stocked
Their Nerves Well Fed.


Some people carefully disguise the fact.
But a coat of paint on an old building
only makes it look smart; it doesn't keep
the rickety old staircases from '~creaking
nor make the framework stronger,
What is needed is fresh bricks and
mortar.
Fresh blood and new tissues are the
building materials that tired human
bodies need. Paine's celery compound
supplies all the elements for building up
the worn-out. exhausted nerves and
tissues.
One is never older than he feels. Many
are young at 70, and the world is full
of men and women who are old in heart
and spirits at 80.
Nothing ages one like Illness.
To keep oung, keep well; keep the
nerves calm. the blood ruddy. the sys-
tenn well fed. And when the sudden
attack of fever or the heavy cold comes
the sturdy. because well nourished, body
will resist and prevent calamitous re-
suits.
All over the country there are hard
worked business men, and men in public
offices, subjected to incessant criticism
and fearful nervous strain. who appre-
ciate the saving power of Prof. Phelps
remarkable discovery, Paine's celery COM
pound. In the thousands of cases where
overwrought brains have at last refused
the sleep that they so vitality needed, this
great modern nerve nutriment has
brought the happiest results. Multi
tudes of women reduced in strength,
half-sick and on the road to becoming
lifelong invalids. ave sent in heartfelt
stories of their rapid gain in vigor after
a trial of Paine's celery compound.
'It takes years off their aching should
ers."
AS the years go on, the regular tick
tick of the heart and the rhythmic action
of the digestive organs and the human
brain slow up and the strength must
be economical. The important organs
need more frequent assistance and en-
enlargement. Paine's celery compound
gives Just the needed stimulus to diges-
ton and assimilation that the system re-
quires. It purifies the slowly moving
blood of any bad humor that it's stag
nant flow is apt to engender, and thus
removes rheumatism. neuralgia, heart
palpitation, nervous weakness, sleepless-
ness and troubles with kidneys, liver n
stomach.
1t was a favorits remark of the famous
DR.. Parr when 100 years old that he had
always taken care to keep his body well
nourished. Pure blood and healthy ac-
tivity of the nervous system makes a
happy. hopeful, useful old age. Paine's
celery compound makes people well.

WAR ON THE MAIL OHUTEs.

Postmaster Robert S. Jordan is wag-

buildings in the lower part of the city.
The choking propensities of the mail
chutes have caused no end of trouble
to the post office authorities, in addi-
ton to delaying the mail and the Post
master deemed it for the best interests
of the service to order the chutes taken
down. This morning the chute in the
Weldon Building was attacked by a
gang of carpenters and by noon the af-
fair had been reduced to kindling wood.
To accommodate the tenants, Postmaster
Jordan has promised to erect a regula-
tion mail box in the corridor of the
building.
