An automatic surveying instrument

the distance and profile of any road or
path along which a wheel can be rolled
1t consists of a drum actuated BIZ
worm and worm wheel, receiving its
motion from the crank shaft of a hi
cycle, upon which the instrument is
supposed to be mounted, through 4
cord belt. In the interior Of the drum
is a screw, turned by the same belt
through a train of gears and friction
disks, when thrown into action by the
change in position of a pendulum.

action is exceedingly simple. con

drum results from any movement Of

HOW VERY SIMPLE
DIR. Sanders Method Is.

There is force in your body which keeps up
the health of the nerves, blood, kidneys, liver,

Vitality is often wasted by sickness, exposure,
excesses-by some unnatural strain upon the vital
functions. When wasted it is hard to recover
This vitality, you call II, is electrical en-
ergy 1t is generated in your nervous system, and
carried over your body by, your nerves.
When it is wasted DR.. Sander will restore it.

WATER CONTRACT EXPIRES.
Many Lesdviiie People Think City Should
Buy Company's Plant.

Buy Company's Plant.
Denver. Dec. IA special from
Leadvillc TO the Republican says:
An important question which is now
agitating the minds of the people of
this city is whether or not the City
Council is going to renew the contract
with the Leadville Water Company,
which expires on January 9th.
The Leadville Water Company has
had twentyyear contract with the
city of Leadville and during that time
has received n large amount of money
for furnishing the city with water. The
contract which expires next month has
been repeatedly complained about. but
the city was unable to do anything ow-
ing to its contract for twenty years.
The Water Company has filed reincor-
poration papers for S4OO.OOO and it is
quite evident that 1t intends to make n
bid to again get this business. There
Is every promise of hot fight over the
matter.
At recent meeting of the City Coun-
Gil the committee on water was in
structed to inquire into the feasibility
OF purchasing the plant or of entering
INTO another contract. Several execu-
tive sessions have been held. but no
definite steps have yet been taken The
contract now in force provides that the
city can take over the plant of the com
pany at the expiration of the contract
on valuation determined by five peo-
pie
There is strong disposition among
consumers of water in the city to have
the city own the plant and thus save
them many thousands of dollars, They
claim that the charges are exhorbitant
and that the rules of the company are
such that they are absolute dictators
in the water question in Leadyille.

Colonel Bryan Thinks "a Republic Should
BE Established.

BE Established.
Washington, Dec. 17.-Colonel Bryan
to-day expressed himself very empha,-
ically to his Democratic associates up
on the duty of Congress in regard to
the Philippines.
He believes that the islands ought
not to be held longer than is necessary
for the United States to ESTABLISH
there a stable and Independent govern
ment, such as was guaranteed to Gu
ba In the resolution which led to the
declaration of war, and he believes It
Is the duty of Congress to make dec
laratlon of the intention of the United
States at the earliest possible date, in
order that there may be no misunder.
standing in the future and that the
natives of the island may be assured
that the ultimate purpose of the United
States is to give them a free and inde-
pendent government.
The war was fought for humanitys S
sake, he says, and the United States
in the hour of victory at the close Of
the war. when the Philippines have
fallen into their possession, should
stand upon the policy it proclaimed at
the outset regarding Cuba.

GILLETTE GOING SOUTH.
Cattle PiunEer Finds It Is Unsafe fos Hin
to Stay In MeIleo.


st. Louis, Dec. IA special to the
Republic from the City Of Mexico says:
Grant G. Gillette, the absconding
cattle plunger of Woodbine, Kansas,
and his attorney. C. II. Troxell, left
here to-day for Vera Cruz, where they
will take a steamer for South America.
Their ultimate destination is the
Argentine Republic, where Gillette
says he will go into the cattle business.
Gillette and Iroxel have been here
three days, being registered at the Ho-
tel Coliseo under the names Of Willis
f. Wilder and George E. Fisher of
Fruita, Colorado. but both admitted
their identity.
Gillette had intended to remain in
Mexico indefinitely, but President
Diaz' action in applying for renewal!
of the extradition treaty, which ex-
pires next month, and his proposition
to make 1t retroactive, caused Gillette
to conclude that he would be safer in
South America. He had been count.
until January 18th, when, with the
extradition treaty expired, he would be
absolutely safe.
Gillette and Troxel have consider
able sum Of money with them, and they
have been spending it lavishly. but II
is not thought they have the 100000
which they are credited with having
taken with them from the states.
Detectives are still following them,

rests, and can do absolutely nothing to
prevent their departure for Vera Cruz

Mistake.
Chicago, Dec. ia dispatch from
Atlanta to the Chicago Record says:
Many of Mr.. Bryan's warmest ad-
mirers in this section believe he is
making a mistake in attempting to as
sumo the leadership Of that opposition,
as he has announced his intention to
do. He told the Associated Press agent
at Savannah the other day that his de-
sire to enter actively into the fight
against colonial policy was his chief
reason for resigning from the army,
and that he should devote his entire
time to that purpose hereafter. Many
of his friends and followers here de-
plore this decision-first. because they
realize that his leadership will unite
the Republicans in support of the Pres
ident; and, second. knowing Mr..
Bryan's peculiar habit of permitting
himself to be absorbed by a single
idea, they fear he will abandon the
financial doctrine of which he il the
apostle and allow the free silver move
ment to languish. They recognize also
that the expansion sentiment is strong

most popular. and where many of his
