Six Months without Pay.

The heads Of the departments called
on the mayor and threatened to resign
in u body unless they get some pay.
/ They will wait for the council to act
AS it can do nothing now, under the
peculiar rulings Of the court, Tacoma
will likely have no police and fire de-:
partments Oh Monday. Just when this
state of affairs can be changed without
reversal of the courts DEGREES is a
much mixed question. The city's cash
on hand is likely to grow steadily, and
it presents the curious spectacle of Il
municipality with plenty Of money, but
utterly unable to use the cash to pay sal
aries ST its officers.

MORE INVESTIGATIONS.
South Carolina Legislature Has the
Fever Badly.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 22.-"Yaller dogs"
and more investigations were the order OF
the day in the house OF representa- tives yes
terday.
l.. j. Williams is still after the higher ed
ucational institutions with a sharp stick,
and has introduced concurrent resolution
providing for an investigation committee
to look into the management and affairs OF
each OF them.
In urging the adoption OF the resolution
he made a statement to the house in which
he made some pointed references to the
condition OF affairs at the Winthrop Normal
College, and the management OF its finances
by its board OF trustees. He is also after
those members OF the house who are retain
ing their seats, though holding other offices
under the State government.
He has offered a concurrent resolution in
regard to The matter. The general q ssenbly
seems to be in notion to investigate nearly
everything in connection with the State gov
eminent now, no doubt with view to
starting out under the new constitution with
all the light turned on. The speciallecislat tive
committee charged with investigating the
condition of affairs at the State prison is
now at work.

tention to the secoRl-class mail matter
abuse, which has been so frequently de.
houhced by postofrice authorities and others
lie says the government is losing not less
than So,OO0,OO0 annually as a result OF
carrying through the mails a certain class
or publication to which are given the bene-
lit or second-class rate, when they belong
properly in the third class. He has intro.
duccd bin to correct the evil
The original intent or the present law
Mr.. Loud says, was to admit only news
papers and magazines published for the
dissemination of knowledge to the priv
leges OF the secoDd-class rate. The begin
ming OF the abuse was the sending out of
serial novels in the form of supplements
Mt. Loud says the purpose OF his bill is
to eliminate from the benefit of the second
class rate matter of this kind an d to classify
1t as thir,l-class matter, paying eight cents
pound. 1t is also proposed to include with
in reasonable limits newspapers that are
issaed primarily for the purpose OF adver-
Using.
The last annual report of the Postmaster
General shows that the cost of carrying
and handling second-ciass matter for the
past fiscal year was S2l ,22J,OOO The gov
eminent received for this service S2,653,-
600, leaving net loss of nearly S19,
900 900.
Mr.. Loud has also another bill allowing
the transportation OF certain free matter
through the mails by freight. This refers
TO government publications and such nler-
chandisc as the different post-offices of
the country use and which are now sent
by them through the mails.
Thereis little, if any OF this matter. which
could not he sent by freight. since haste
is not a vital consideration. If both the
bills become laws Mr.. Loud is satisfied
that our postal receipts will practically
meet our expenditures, and that within
short time we could reduce the rate on
letter postage to one cent

GET FLESH,

Get Strength, vigor, Clear Complex.
ION ana Good DiRestfon, Not by
Patent Medicine, but In Natures
Own Way.
Any honest physician will tell, you that
there is but one way to get Increased flesh;
all the patent medicines and cod liver Oils
to the contrary, not witbst anding.
Nature has but one way. TO increase flesh,
strength and vigor, mind and body, and that
is through the stomach by wholesome food,
well digested. There is 20 reason, or COM
mon sense in any other method whatever.
People are thin, run do VII, nervous, pale,
and shaky in their nerves, simply because
their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspepsia,
but the fact remains that they do not eat
enough food, or what they eat is not quickly
and properly digested, as 1t should be.
DIR. Harlandson says the reason is be
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptOnes, and deficient secretion
OF gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is to sup
ply what the weak stomach lacks. There
are several good preparations which will do
this, but none so readily rs Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, which are designed especial
Iy for all stomach troubles, and which cure
all digestive weakness on tie oOmno II sense
plan OF furnishing the digestive principles
which the stomach lacks.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effect is to increase the
appetite and increased vigor. added flesh,
pure blood, and strength off nerve and
muscle is the perfectly natural result.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is tie safest
tonic known and will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer OF the stoni-
ach. May he found at druggists at 20 cents

The salient points OF the boxing lesson
taught at the Empire Athletic Club, Balti-
more, on Monday night, is that an awkward
boxer, possessing courage and unimpaired
vitality, can defeat a much cleverer sparrer,
whose vigor has been sapped by long
continued, reckless dissipation, says the
Baltimore Herald's sporting editor.
joe Choynski is perhaps the clum-
siest boxer that ever contested in a first
class bout. A large part of the time he
stumbles over himself, and he leaves open
tngs SO large that only rare good luck saves
him from quick defeat. But Choynski is
strong, game and a most dangerous hitter.
He RECEIVERS from the effect of punishment
with surprising rapidity, and blow from
him, even when he is dazed, is full of danger.
This was exemplified in the ninth round,
when Choynski went down from poke on
the jaw. He rallied, and although Hall
piled him with all sorts OF buffeting, the
Californian's splendid constitution sus.
tanned him, and he lasted till the gong came
to the rescue. In the tenth round Choyuski
stepped to the center as briskly as though
nothing had happened, and from then to
the close the Californian was strong and
steady.
