Practical Young Woman Didnt want
TO he Aroused ut Night.

Kansas City has at least one young mar
ried woman who takes a very prosaic view
OF ghosts and so-called spirit manifestations.
She was forced to spend night alone In a
st. Louis hotel, her husband being detained
elsewhere by business. In the dead OF the
night she was awakened out of sound sleep
by tremendous noise in the wardrobe. IL
was such a sudden and unearthly uproar
that the woman, sensible and practical
though she was, was frightened. The noise
ceased, then returned. The woman jumped
up, lighted the gas, and made thorough
search both of the wardrobe and the room:
There was nothing so far as the evidence OF
the senses went which could account for the
racket. The woman put out the light and
went back to bed. The noise was not re-
peated.
Six months afterward, however, the
woman was in San Francisco, and for the
first time in her life, and solely out of Gu
rios;ty, she attended Spiritualistlc meet
ing. Almost Immediately the medium. a
perfect stranger, turned to her and said:
"The spirit of your mother is present, mad
am, and she says that six months ago mann
ing the precise date) she tried to communi-
cate with you by means of the wardrobe in
the Blank hotel, st. Louis"
The woman's practical good sense did not
desert her.
"Well, you just tell my mother" she said,
that the next time she wants to communi-
cate with me not to make such an awful rack.

cured. This famous blood and nerve
medicine had accomplished what all his
former expensive treatment failed to ac-
complish. Mr.. Kemper says his catarrh
has entirely left him; he is strong again and
weighs nine pounds more than he ever did.
He gives the pills the entire credit. He is
starting teaching again and feels abundantly
able to continue the work. To prove that
the above is true in every respect, Mr.. KEN.
per makes an affidavit as follows:

ENCINAL YACHT CLUB. Opening Day Under Discouraging Weather-The Evening Enter

There were a number of visitors, however, and the indications are for a successful season. The rain did not affect the evenings performance at the club house, however, and there was large gathering of members and their friends.

 A Strange Proceeding.
 ALAMEDA, May 14.-Another step in the ante-matrimonial woes of Heinrich been taken. It will be remembered that the not at all youthful couple obtained a marriage license and made date Tor the performance of the ceremony with Justice Morris one day this week. But the lover came not on the appointed hour, and subsequently, Schmidt said the affair was off because Mrs. Kammerer wanted him to deed all his property to her before the ceremony was performed, and this he was too shreWd to do. But been entered into, as the transcript of records shows to-day that instead of Schmidt deeding to his bride-elect she they are married or not Is not known. Schmidt took the license away from Jus tice Morris and has remained very much in the background ever since the fiasco of the other day.

build a water work system to cost $35, ,OO0.- 900? In either case the people would vote no, and the only inconvenience the Spring Valley Company would have experienced would have arisen from the necessity of convincing" the Supervisors to submit the question as the company wished.
 But suppose the first election results in the people voting to buy, or build water works, second election must then be held to vote the bonds for the purpose, and at this election two-thirds of the persons voting must favor the proposi- ton or 1t fails. What likelihood Is there that under these circumstances any pub lie utility will ever be taken under public control except the corporations become more generous than in the past?
 As conditions are the city can secure control of public utilities by condemna- tion and appropriation, but under the pro posed charter this method is effectually done away with, inasmuch as it is speci- ally provided that the method for acauir- ing such utilities shall be by purchase or by original construction. As a first-class humbug we commend this charter in it's provisions relative to the acquiring of public utilities.
 Fourth-The proposed new charter makes of the Mayor a veritable Car He is authorized to initiate policies and veto legislation, to cut down appropriations to refuse the ratification of contracts, to reject items of account, and besides his legislative functions he will have dis cretionary power to appoint and remove the officials who are the nominal heads of government. Moreover, he Is authorized to suspend the very elect of the people He appoints and will control the election
