 While 1t is the purpose of the War Department to secure only National Guardsmen as far as possible un- der the first call for volunteers, the States where there are no national guards, or where the number falls below the quota stated in the call, will be expected to supply volunteers regardless of their lack of organiza- tion. In fact, this mutt be done un- der the law. On the basis of to-day's call for 125,0OO men the various States and Territories, including the District of Columbia, will be called upon to supply each the following number of volunteers:

A Hint to old People.

Old age, like disease, brings Ats in
firmities; and with the advancing years
come the wasted muscles, the falling
strength. the wrinkled visage and I'M
certain step which mark the approach
of that time when the eyes shall be
closed and the voice shall be hushed In
silence forever. In old age the vitality
is lowered. the heart beats with
feeble pulse, the blood moves through
the veins at a sluggish pace and win
ter's cold cuts with a double pang- The
digestive organs are not as active as
they used to be, the nervous forces are
weakened and the resistive powers are
greatly reduced. It is then that tonics
and strengtheners are gratefully receiv-
ed by the failing body; and when with
the tonic Is combined q. nerve food and
vitalizing principal such as DR.. Miles
Restorative Nervine contains, the re-
suits are peculiarly happy. Born with
a rugged constitution, Mr.. Alonzo Bar
ker, of Deansboro, N. Y, had wrestled
with the problems of life until he reach
ed his S7th year before his nervous sys-
tenn broke down and he became as weak
and helpless as child Mr.. Barker
says; Il was SO nervous and restless
that I could not get my natural sleep,
and all my efforts to rally seemed to be
useless, for grew worse until I was
scarcely able to feed myself. DR.. Miles
Restorative Nervlne was recommended
to me and after taking about one dozen
bottles the nervousness and sleepless-
ness were all gone. Am now in my S3rd
year and feel strong and hearty

ENJOIN co. TREASURER.
Suit Begun to Prevent Him From
Collecting Certain. Taxea-

An Injunction suit has been com
menced today by B. George, Peter He'll
and a dozen other farmers to prevent
the county treasurer from collecting
about 5000 in taxes which were assessed
against their property at the instance
OF the county surveyor.
The claims were made by B. A Bailey,
who is now out Of Office. 1t Is claimed
that he made a large number Of sur
veys without any authority. 1t is also
claimed that the surveys were made
without any notice to the parties in
terested. Mr.. Bailey re-established cor
ners and the farmers found themselves
taxed up with the expense. G. G. Gage
claims that expenses were taxed against
his property because it was necessary
for the surveyor to go past his place to
find a corner. He naturally objects to
the charge.
There may be other suits commenced
for many complaints have been made to
the county commissioners and other
county officers by farmers who think
that they did not require any surveying
work done.
The county surveyor Gs paid at the
rate Of 81 a day for the work done and
his earnings depend upon the number
of days he works. Mr. Bailey is now In
Missouri. Charles F. Spencer who COM
menced the suit today says that Mr..
Bailey added 40 pages OF assessment to
the tax rolls for work done.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 19.-Smallpox is
epidemic at Nebraska City, and has

City as the representative of the state
board Of health, says the disease has
been prevalent there since August, but
has not been recognized as such, the
local board OF health having dubbed it
chicken pox or some unknown disease,
and the medical fraternity of the town
being divided as to its real nature. DR..
drummer says 200 cases have developed
since the beginning of the epidemic.
Many cases are being reported from
smaller places on both sides of the river
and the Iowa people have quarantined
strictly against Nebraska City. The
state board Of health has sent a physi-
clan to the infected town with instruc-
lions to use all means to stamp out the

Greet the Franchise Grabbers
at Last Nights Council Meet
ing in Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 13.-The ordinance extend
ing the franchises of the Chicago street
car companies for fifty years came up in
the city council last night and was refer
red to the council committee on railways.
On all votes touching the ordinance the
friends of the measure were a minority
and unless they can muster much greater
strength there is no probability that they
will ever be able to pass it over the veto
of Mayor Harrison.
Contrary to general expectation, there
was little excitement around the city han,
and although the council chamber was
packed to suffocatfon and a crowd filed
the outside corridors, the number of peo-
pie present was but little larger than
usual. The crowd was, however, against
the franchise proposition to a man and
made no pretense of keeping its convic-
tons a secret. Adherents of the fran
chise were openly Kissed when they at
tempted to gain a point for their measure
and loud yells greeted the announcement
of the vote by which the ordinance was
referred. Alderman McInerney made
speech, to a certain extent defying the
spirit from the galleries, and from that
time till adjournment he was the object
of numerous remarks from the outside,
many of them being warmly personal. The
crowd, however, was good natured. The
railway committee, which has the
ordinance in charge, is composed of thir-
teen members, eleven of whom last night
voted as friends of franchise extension.
