Taxpayers Are Against a Bon Iss e.

Now that the highway act and its running
mate, the bond bill, are disposed OF. the
question OF sewer extensions and sewage
disposal should be taken up for cOnsidera-
ton. In all the controversy provoked by
an attempt to increase the bonded indebt-
edness of the District to enhance the value
of private property, there has been no active
opposition to improving the sanitary con-
dition OF the city. In view of the increase
of population and the greater demand
for sewage disposal, its necessity has at
eral request for such an improvement and
the only difference OF opinion is in the
method OF raising funds TO carry on the
work.
The amount provided in the bond bin
for completing the esystemo OF sewage disposal
and protection against floods was $3,-
$50 900, and it is believed that sum would
afford ample means to give Washington
adequate protection against disease. Tn.

for the work each year, after the $500 900
annually returned to Congress from The
District revenues has been applied to that
purpose.
The sale of bonds, except in dire emer-
sencies, is always to be deplored. 1t
opens the way 10 extravaganza in the use
of public money, aud offers opportunity
1or schemers to ring in plots to improve
property for personal gain. Generally speak
ing, there is never any need of raising
funds in this way to make public improve
ments, because if taxation is already TOO
high to admit of the collection of revenue
by an increase of taxes, it is also too
burdensome to warrant the sale of bonds
and the payment of interest.
1t is TO be hoped that the Board of
Trade committee Will take this view of
the question. District taxation is not so
high but that it will stand a slight ad-
vance for any needed improvement. and
the use of the District revenues, now turned
over 10 Congress, would go a long way
toward carrying out the work contem-
plated. In any event the committee should
not recommend large bond issue.

lessons in temperance that should be pro-

town with a load of produce which he ex-
changed for load of groceries. The stun
was stolen from his wagon while he was
lingering In a saloon. He endeavored to
oblterate the memory of his misfortune by
longer tarryng in the saloon. The police
picked up his half-famished team at midnight
and sent it to a livery stable to be cared
for. About the same time Meyers was also
picked mp and sent to the city Jail to answer
to a charge of intoXcatiun. On Saturday
he was fined $1,000, and to secure payment
of the fine he left his team as security and
started home afoot. Yesterday afternoon a
son Of Or. Wall. living twelve miles south
OF town. came in to report the loss Of a team
and wagon. which proved to be the one
Meyers had left with the police. This greatly

The body of an Indian was found lying
beside the Bikhorn railroad tracks in the
vicinity OF Forty-eighth and X streets last
evening. The remains were removed to
Brewer & Sloan'9 undertaking rooms, where
an examination showed that death had been
caused by being struck by locomotive. The
head was almost entirely severed from the
body and besides this there were a number
OF other serious wounds In the pockets OF
the dead man were found an old, empty
pocketbook and scrap of paper upon which
was written Little Chief" just when, or
how the accident occurred is not known.
The body was cold and stiff when found, death
having evidently occurred some hours be-
fore.
On Saturday and yesterday several Omaha
Indians were in the city begging and 1t is
thought that this one was in the party and
had started to walk home along the track
alone. Coroner Burket was notified and will
investigate the case today.
The accident must have happened during
the afternoon, for Little Chief and his friend,
Charlie Watkins" were about the city dur
ing the forenoon trying to purchase lemon
extract or ginger extract. Very likely the
dead Indian succeeded in obtaining liquor
some place and was intoxicated at the time
he was struck.
There is a camp of Omaha Indians about
mile and a half from Forty-eghth and
@ streets and some of those in camp will be
sent for to identify the remains.

NEW YORK, Dec. THE great internal
tional bicycle race commenced at 1905 this
morning in the nmphtheater OF Madison
Square garden. The entries contain the
names OF men famed throughout the world
as bicycle riders, and every effort will be
made during the week by some OF these
champions to lower records. One OF the
events will be an effort By Eddie Bald, the
champion OF tho United States, to lower
the mile record against time. Among the
foreign contingent entered for the con-
test is the delegation brought over by Ed
Plmmer containing such cracks as Tom
Linton, champion of Wales and champion
middle distance of the world; C. Chapple, a
well known English rider, aud j. d. Lums-
den, a Sootchnan, who has won many
laurels: w. A. Elkcs and George Cart
wright, the old-tlme English long distance
pedestrian. Among the other entries are
Albert SChoch. the American, who won the
long distance championship in this city in
1898, when he rode 1.600 miles Frank Wal

The American cracks, Schock and Ashinger,
when seen at the garden tonight, both said
they were in condition to make the race
of their lives, and they promise to make it
lively for any of the foreigners.
The garden presents handsome appear
ance with it's decorations of bunting and
flags of different nations, among which
"Old Glory" predominated These decora-
tions were given a pleasing effect by the
myriads of incaEdescent lights. Quite q
good sized crowd was in attendance when
the Scjrs were opened at o'clock, and
the crowd increased constantly during the
evening At the time the races commenced
at least 1900 people must have been pres
ent. When the score board was placed in
position Ii was seen that the names of John
Dubois, the Frenchman, e. j. Flynn OF
Rochester and A. G. Meizel the Norrstown,
Pa, boy, were missing, and it developed that
the trio had been scratched, Dubois having
been unable to get here in time, the others
having concluded not to start. The other
twenty-eight were on hand and prepared to
start four abreast at the word Co.
There were 5000 people in the garden at
1910 when the race started. Champion Zim-
norman was unable to be present and Eddie
Bald fired tho shot that sent the twenty
eight starters on their journey. Shock led
at the end of the first lap He was closely
followed by Reading and, Linton. the British
champion. Shock was warmly applauded. He
cut out hot pace and there were several
falls soon after the start, but none of the
riders were injured.

PAY WOULD DE RATHER SMALL.
Minute Men Would Not Get Rich on
Chief Smiths Plan.


Chief Smith of the fire department ex-
poets that the city council will take some
action on fs suggestion to employ minute
men at it's meeting this evening The plan
is to employ four extra men to sleep at the
fire halls at night who will be paid at the
rate OF 90 cents an hour for the first hour S
work and 80 cents an hour for every ad-
dtional hour. These men are also to re-
ceive so cents for every alarm responded
to. Possibly good men can be found who
will work under such conditions, but taking
November as an illustration, when only
three alarms were sent in, the minute men
would not earn enough to make it worth
their while.
With the present force it would be i'm
possible, the chief says, to handle the ap-
paratus now in service during the winter
months, and the addition of four men is an
absolute necessity.
In speaking of this matter yesterday an
eX-city official who has always taken a great
deal of interest in municipal affairs, SAID
that the only plausible way out of the diff
ficulty would be to take steps to have the
fire and water levy increased from mills
to or Z mills. With this increase the
department could be made much more eff
fective than it is at the present time. Chief
Smith Is very anxious to have a hook and
ladder truck added to the present equip
ment. and this could be done If the levy
was increased. In order to obtain author
ity for making such an increase in the
levy it will be necessary for an amend
ment to the charter to be made by the
legislature this winter.

OF language for pleasure or discipline. shows
that the Black Hills teachers are fully
abreast OF the times The paragraph relat-
ing to this might convey the Impression that
something novel was to be introduced, but
in fact, the best educators everywhere
are looking for practical results in the
teaching Of the English language, and there
is no new suggestion In the paragraph
quoted. II is Just as we'll however, that cd
ucators. when they get together, should re-
iterate their views that they may be made
emphatic.
There is need of great deal Of discussion
of the best methods of teaching the English
language In the schools. There are defects
in all systems in present use. Boys and
girls so through the schools and finish their
lessons but as men and women are not able
to use the English language properly. But
few men or women are able to express their
thoughts in language satisfactory to them
selves either orally or in writing. The Black
Hills teachers stumbled and became all tam
gled up in the resolution quoted above on
the subject OF teaching English. Those in
professional and business life make plumbers
that seem inexcusable to the critics, and the
most of us pass them over lightly because
we know that inaccuracy in language is
fault common to nearly all,
The way to become proficient In the use
of language Is to use 1t freely. The recent
political campaign was the occasion for
great deal of talking. and many men who
had not before discovered their gift of elo-
quence gave themselves valuable lessons in
oratory The introduction Of the typewriter
has made letter writing easier and more let
tiers are being written. In time this Will
result in good to those who write But the
foundation for the use of language must be
laid in the schools and the educators OF the
country do well to give to the subject their
best thought

ENGLAND VS.. AMERICA.
The Extent of the Coffee Habit.


When one notices the difference In the
average people of England and America
regarding their diet and digestive abilities,
some natural inquiries come up What
does the Englishman eat that gives him
such good Digestion and what is the reason
for so much dyspepsia among Americans?
Rudyard Kpling makes our 'pe belt'
through New England, and says its path
way is strewn with dyspeptics Tho
Americans love for lard-oaded pastry Is
probably the cause of some trouble but
the apparently harmless coffee is without
doubt the father of more stomach troubles
in America than any other item of food or
drink. Great Britain consumes about
30 600 900 pounds of coffee annually, while
America disposes of something like $780,
100000 nearly or quite eleven times as
much.
Analytical chemistry discovers the same
poisonous aka loids in coffee as are found
In strychnine morphine, tobacco and whis-
key
These slight poisons taken daily accumu-
late until the effect on the nerves
and stomach is ptiable with some people
(who are peculiarly susceptible to pois-
ons): the doses are continued from day to
day without knowledge of what is so
surely destroying the power of nerves and
stomach.
1t is trial to give up coffee but new
beverage has made its appearance on the
market which is so like Java coffee in its
deep seal brown color and assuming the
rich golden brown of thick Mocha when
cream is added, that lovers of coffee who
are denied its use, because of the effects,
can adopt the new food drink freely. Tho
change in taste is so slight that many do
not discover that any change has been
made. The new product Is called Postum,
and 1t is asserted by the manufacturers,
the Postum Cereal Co, Limited, Battle
Creek. Mich, that ii consists wholly and
solely of wheat and other cereals. carefully
cooked and roasted in different ways.
When the parts are mixed or blended n
perfect breakfast beverage, n true health
coffee results, which contains the nour-
ishing and hcalthful properties of the
grains intended by nature for mans SUBJ
sistence.
1t is worthy the trial of any one who has
trouble with coffee, or who desires to regu-
late their habits with due regard to health
and longevity.
