The Hospital Matter.

The special committee ON the hos.
pital matter presented the following
report: "That an inch to an inch
and quarter black pipe be laid from
Wine street to hospital in such way
that there will be. a continual flow OF
water; that fifty barrel tank be plac.
ed on windmill tower, and the waste
flow into a separate. cess pool, and
that separate pipe be laid to con-
meet to hospital, estimate cost not to
exceed $500"
On motion of Aid. Peterson, the re-
port was adopted.
Aid. Bradley voted no." and cx-
planned this by saying that he did no t
believe this to be good investment.
Something substantial should be
done.
Aid Fowler said something substan-

would cost 81 900 or 1000. which

tial would cost 81 900 or $1,000. which
the city is not in a position to expend
now. When the city can afford 1t,
the more substantial improvements
can be made. Additional rooms can
be made in the garrett of the hospital.
If the building is enlarged, there will
be an additional expense to keep the
greater number of poor that will be
accommodated.
The committee also recommended
that the present tank be taken out OF
the hospital, and believes that with
the present cess pool kept clean. it
would answer for many years. This
was also adopted.
A recess for the benefit of the COM
mittee on claims and accounts was
taken. The committee had no report
to make when it returned.

Bill Not Allowed.

Aid. Fowler brought up the bill of
A, e. Hopkins for the loss of horse
in the Fourth street water mains ex-
cavation, and asked for an opinion as
to the city's liability.
City Attorney Pau said that If the
street was in defective condition,
the city would be liable.

$50 be allowed. He said that from

tion, to bring it before the council.

put up, and that the city had taken
due precautions, as 1t could prove.

not drive through, and the gentle
man who was with HIM got out or
wanted to. In driving across, the
horse stumbled, and in trying to get
up, fell into the ditch. Straps were
put around the horse and it was pull
ed out, which was enough to kill any
horse. The fact that the Limitation
of time had passed was not taken In.

What Everybody Knows

Or ought to know, is that health
and even life itself depends upon
the condition of the blood. Feed
ing, as it does, all the organs of
the body, it must be rich and pure
in order to give proper nourish-
ment. Hoods Sarsaparilla makes
the blood pure, rich and nourish-
ing, and in this way strengthens
the nerves, creates an appetite,
tones the stomach and builds up
the health. Hoods Sarsaparila
wards off colds, pneumonia, and
fevers, which are prevalent at this
time.

after the Silver Republicans walked
out of the st. Louis convention,
there was a material change in the
political situation. l believe now
that it is the duty of these three
elements, Populist, Democrat, Silver
Republican, to lay aside their petty
jealousles, and as patriots unite for
the good of all. In doing this the
Populists need not abandon their
organization, in fact it will streng-
then under such a conservative
course, and if we carry silver in
1900 we will then be ready to take
up the railroad question or the
land question, and under our man
agement they will be adopted as
part of our economic code"

Where Gum Stands.

The following is an extract from
a letter recently given out for pub
LEGATION by Congressman James
Gum. While addressed to popu-
lists, we commend it to the careful
consideration of democrats and
silver republicans. We hope that
the organization of each of the three
silver parties may fall into hands
as patriotic, as sincere and as hon
est as Mr.. Gum seems to be. He
says:
my political views have not
really undergone any material
change during my residence in
Idaho. | was always a free silver
man. When l belonged to the re-
publican party l advocated free
silver, and when that party finally
abandoned the silver cause, it real
ly left me, and | naturally allied
myself to the populists, because
they took up the issue the republi-
cans deserted.
The only way in which l could
leave the populist party, would be
MS l left the republican party. If
the populists should take down
their free silver banner as the re-
publicans did, in that event |
would still be a free silver man,
though my loyalty to the cause
took me out Of the peoples party.
There is no danger, however, of
such a contingency arising. The
rank and file of the peoples party
are honest, and when they say
they are silver men they mean it,
and their loyalty to the white
metal need not be questioned. An
unfortunate discussion arose in the
Populist ranks with regard to this
issue. ! am satisfied that it has
spent its fury, and that hereafter
the party will be loyalty united
beneath the free silver standard.
am still loyal to it, and hope to see
its principles largely adopted with
in the next few years.

his opinion the free silver idea
