Mr.. r. B. Palmer, city editor OF
the Oskaloosa, Ia. Times, under
date Of May 5th, 1896, relates the fol-
lowing experience: Recently I was
compelled by serious siege OF dys-
pepsia to leave my office work, and
thought to seek relief by a months
travel on the Pacific coast. The
rest and change helped me some

the awful fts Of indigestion. When
about to return home to Iowa I
entered prominent drug store in|
Tacoma, Wash and asked for
something that would bring relief
from myindigestion. The druggist
sold me box OF Ripans Tabules for
80 cents. In less than twenty-four
hours could feel change for the
better. From that day to this I have
used Ripans Tabules whenever l felt
my old ailment getting in its work,
and with most commendable
results"

men a better opportunity in fighting the

cases where, the occupants of a burning
house have been forced to the upper floors.
Now that Congress has been generous
enough to make provision for this COM

near Florida avenue and North Capitol

sounded.
Strange to relate, the firemen make better
time getting out during the dead hour OF
the night when they have just been awak-

they are scattered about the house attend
ing to their regular daily routine.
This house, like the other buildings erect
ed for the use of a fire company, was built
for convenience and comfort, and with a
view to giving good quarters to both the
men and horses. and at the same time pro-
vide facilities that no time is lost in the

Residents of the northern part of the
city are much better protected from fire
now than they have been during past
years. The organization of truck D COM
pany gives them feeling of security which
they have not heretofore enjoyed. This
company is located near the intersection
of New jersey avenue. New York avenue,
Sd and NJ streets northwest, and although
1t has been organized only few days, its
members have responded to a number of
alarms, and the residents in the neighbor-
hood where the house is located have wit
messed the unusual spectacle of seeing a
fire company arrive upon the scene of con-
migration before there was time for the
flames to gain much Roadway. Heretofore
truck A company, from North Capitol
street, near the Capitol, was the nearest
truck company to this section, and there
was long upgrade pull from that point
to the section of the city now served by

This necessarily caused delays, and such
delays at midnight fires sometimes prove
fatal. 1t Is true that there are engine COM

Remarks by Civil Service Commits
siOners Proctor and Rice.
An enthusiastic dinner of the Massachu-
sets Reform Club was held last evening at
Boston. Many distinguished guests were
present to listen to discussion of civil serv-
ice reform by Messrs. John R. Proctor and
VIM. G. Rice of the national civil service
commission. George S. Hale, president of
the club. presided, and after briefly dwell
ing on the advances made in civil service
reform, introduced the speakers.
President Proctor of the civil service COM
mission gave an exhaustive review of the
bureau. dwelling On the evils of the patron
age system and of the sale of appointments
by INSCRIPTIONS officials, and referring to
methods of levying political assessments.
Speaking of the gradual growth of the sys-
tenn. Mr.. Proctor said in conclusion:
Under President Arthur the original num-
Der brought in under the law of 1888 was
increased few hundred by executive ac-
ton. President Cleveland during his first
administration added 1883 places and Presi-
dent Harrison $3.50. Already during the
present administration of President Cleve-
land he has broken the record by adding to
the competitive list l., t44 places. The civil
service commission is fortunate in it's work
in having a President and cabinet in hearty
sympathy with the reform and in the ad-
ministration of the civil service law. Most
encouraging is the growing public sentiment
in favor of the application of civil service
rules TO municipal and state governments.
Wherever the people have been given a
chance to voice their sentiments at the polls
they have spoken in no uncertain tones
against the debasins spols system
Civil Service Commissioner Rice spoke at
length on Recent Record of National Civil
Service Reform
Touching upon the reforms yet to be ac-
complished, he added: There still remain
at least four fields to which the merit sys-
TEN should extend. These are fourth-class
pGstmasters, government laborers employees
of the judicial branch, and employees in the
legislative branch of the government. The
obstacles to the first two extensions are
gradually being cleared away, and l see no
reason why they cannot be effected without
amendment of the civil service act. To
bring the about 1900 employees in our Judi
cial branch under the merit system will re-
quire amendment of existing law, and to
bring the almost 1000 legislative employees
under the system will require either a spe-
ciaI law or the adoption of congressional
rules controlling congressional appoint
ments. Such rules would be effective if sus-
tanned by public opinion which would not
suffer them to be changed for mere partisan
patronage advantage"

Office of the foreman and reading room.
Then, too, there is the toilet room. Every
thing is kept clean and shining, and the
sliding poles, down which the f1remen go
from the upper to the lower story, wear a
high polish. On the lower floor there is
nothing to impede the men or horses in
their movements. The animals are kept
in the rear of the truck in closed stalls
facing the front of the building, and the
sounding of an alarm seems to start the
blood in their veins.
There are heavy iron rails set In the con-
truck rest and the harness which is held
in position In front Of the truck Is easily
dropped on the backs Of the animals, and
they can be quickly harnessed and hitched
to the truck.

A BILL is now pending in con.
gress which is one Of great import
ance and we sincerely hope it may
become a law. This is the bill
which provides for the govern
ment taking possession and con-
troll Of the Pacific railroad. It will
be remembered that the securities
which the government holds
against this road have long since
been due aud the plan is to fore
close and take possession and let
the government own and operate
the same. The bill provides for
the establishment of a department
which will have full control of
these railroads just as the post Of
flee has charge Of the postal service
of the country. It is not at all
probable that this particular bill
will become a law but some bill
will soon be passed which will
make q disposition Of these roads
and we believe the conditions are
such that the government will be
forced to take control. run and
operate the same. Whenever
this is done we have the small end
Of the wedge started which will
split this bias and prejudice of the
people against it and soon a univer-
sal demand will come from the
people for just what our party
has long advocated.
