Among the permits issued by the

FLUSHING THE CUTTERS.
The street department yesterday tried
the experiment of flushing the cutters
in the business section of the city as
proposed by the council. 1t is needless
to say the experiment was failure.
The cutters were not properly cleansed,
and the only thing that was accom-
plished was flooding out the contractors
on Main street. 1t Is probable that an
other attempt will be made today. AS
suggested by Mr.. Howard, the only So
luton Of the trouble Is by having the
cutters properly swept. The only ques-
ton is, who shall pay for the same.
SEWER ASSESSMENT ISSUED.
The assessment for the sewer on the
alley south Of Seventh street, Grand
View avenue and Seventh street, from
Grand View avenue to Carondolet street
was issued yesterday by the street su-
perintendent to G. w. Jones of 242h
South Broadway, to whom 1t was as
signed by George Cordell, the contrac-
tor. The assessment will be delinquent

THE LIGHTING COMPANY
Has q Pronounced Aversion to Gas
Regulating Devices
And Accordingly, II Is Alleged, Employ ed rlen
to Remove . Number Of Governors.
Took One Meter

The Gas Consumers Protective asso-
citation Is the name of company incor-
porated about six weeks ago. 1t owns
gas governor, which 1t is stated Will
cut down gas bills wherever used. Nat
urally enough, the Lighting company
does not look with kindly eye upon the
operations of the association, and yes
terday the strained relations" reached
a climax. The Lighting company sent
out ten of fifteen men to remove any
and all of the associations governors.
wherever found.
At the county Jail and court house the
men were told to move on" by Janitor
Swope, and meeting with a refusal re-
ported the matter to the board of Su-
pervisors, who instructed Swope to see
that the governors were not tampered
with. The company's men refused to
obey the mandate, however, and re-
moved the last governor to be found
in the neighborhood.
Secretary Lindley of the association
then appeared before the board, and
after stating his case, was instructed
to replace the gas regulating device, the
board promising its efforts to keep the
governors in place. Similar incidents
happened in other parts of the city,

moved and the men retaliated by TAX
ing away the gas meter. This accounts
for her house being lighted last night
by lamps. About seventy-five in all
were removed, it is alleged.
The foregoing is, in substance, the ac-
count of the Climax" as told by Secre-
tary Lindley of the association. The
officers of the Lighting company could
not be seen last night, but the story
was partially verified by Mrs. Dale men
toned in the above as a victim Of the
onslaught. To reporter she said that
the men, upon making their errand
known, were told to leave the gas reg
ulating governors alone; that the men
stated that they were ordered to remove
them, and that they must obey orders.
They managed in their manipulation to
get the governor out of order, and then
departed. The lady then sent for the
men to repair the damage they had
done. Once more they appeared upon
the scene. and while one engaged with
her in conversation, another took away
the gas meter. No gas was burned in
her house last night.
Aside from their actions as described,
the conduct Of the Lighting company's
men,the lady said, was good. They be-
haved with respect, and their language
was gentlemanly.

For your Protection.-Catarrh "Cures" o

For your Protection Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Gold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.
