BAR IN THE CITY HALL.
Chicago Alderman Wants a Saloon for
the Council.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-Alderman Duddleston
of the Eleventh ward has a plan whereby
he thinks the laborious lot of Chicago al
dermen can be made more pleasant and
incentive held out to good men to
strive to become members of that body.
The scheme is a simple one.
The representative of the Eleventh ward
wants the vacant rooms on the fourth
floor of the city hall furnished up as
clubrooms. He would have apartments
set apart for smoking, for reading, for
card playing, for eating, and, above all,
for drinking. Under no circumstances
is he willing to forego the bar. According
to his idea this, bar is to be a good one
AS it would not be charged a license, its
owner could afford to sell first rate wet
goods at moderate prices and the alder
men would get the benefit of the reduc-
ton.
Alderman Duddleston is enthusiastic
over his scheme. He says it is nothing
different from the house and senate res
taurants in the capitol at Washington,
with such notifications as are demanded
by the local aldermanic habits and Ape
tites.
Alderman Duddleston presented his re
fectory'' scheme to the city council last
night in the form of a resolution. which,
after some demonstrative considerable
was referred to the committee on fire
and water at the suggestion of the mayor

NEARLY KILLED HIM.
Johnny COllingsWOrth Gets Into
an Almost Fatal Row at
Denver.

Johnny Collingsworth. the notorious
gambler who was well known in Tope-
ka and was later proprietor of the
Grand hotel at Larned,, has turned up
at Denver, and few days ago he was
nearly killed by two men, whom it is
said he had short changed in a dice
game. The following dispatch gives an
account of the attack:
Denver, Jan. 3.-JOhnny P. Ceilings
worth was able to sit up in bed last
night and his recovery from the assault
made upon him at Sixteenth and Cur
tbs streets last Thursday night is prac-
tically certain, but it will be at least
two weeks before he will be able to
leave the hospital. He made a state
ment to the police last night in which
he said that a friend of Thos. Holland
knocked him down, and then Holland
jumped on and kicked him. He said
that Holland and the other man over
took him on Curtis street after he had
left Hollands saloon and tried to make
him give back the money which he had
won shaking dice. He refused, and the
assault followed. He gave the name of
the man who was with Holland as
Pfeiffer, a bartender.
The detectives are still trying to lind
Holland, who has disappeared from his
usual haunts and who has not been
down to his saloon for three days The
detectives say he is off on a drunk and
will turn up at the proper time.

acre The annual profits of these planta-
lions have risen from SIS or SIS an acre
to from so to $50 an acre. Similar ad-
vances are true also in sugar and tobacco
haciendas.
The premium on gold has been the cause
of immense internal improvements
throughout the country. The capital kept
at home has been invested in irrigation
schemes. in improving large tracts of fall
low land, and in other enterprises of a
like character. The premium has also
brought much foreign capital here, which
has been invested in various branches If
industry, particularly in the production
OF articles for expectation
The foreign investor doubles his capital
when he brings it to Mexico. He gets
the advantage of cheap and docile labor
for silver, and sells his exported products
for gold.
This great stimulation to all industrial
enterprises. the building of railroads the
establishment of factories and the cult
walton of Thousands of acres of landau
these have had a notable effect upon the
people. The great demand for labor has
benefited them immensely, and has pro-
NOTED peace and prosperity throughout
the country.
The resources and opportunities of Mex
leo have only been revealed 70 her own
people, as well as to foreigners 1t is
much easier now than it ever was before
to get capital here at relatively low
rate of interest for any legitimate enter
prise, because, first, there is more money
in the country than when we were i'm
porting so largely; and because, second,
the business man is willing, under pres
ent conditions, to take risks which would
be considered too great in an era of low
prices and a contracted currency

merchant and of the importer. Silver in

tracted imports.

of what, in plain language, amounts to
failing to tell the truth
The result is the public is sick of it
all It asks when this will all cease
and the work for which these two or
CARNATIONS have been supported and
made powerful go on.
The avoWed policy of these people
was a wise and worthy one. They
adopted noise and sensation as the
means of attracting class of people to
their meetings which the churches
could not reach. 1t was a warfare in
truth, an invasion of the -sluns of the
cities, entirely separate from the work
If the churches. 1t sent quietly dressed
and quiet hammered young women
about to raise funds for carrying on the
work, and the quiet loving, busy public
was not annoyed.
Now all is changed. The very at
mosphere about these people is charged
with their private quarrels. Tie pub
licity of their accusations browns out
the good they may still be doing.
It is bad enough as it stands, but
General Booth himself is to arrive in
this country within a short time, and
the presence of this man, at the same
time the head and the least adlnira BILE

treasury of both the army and the Vol
unteerS from its announced purpose of

HEIRS OF ROBERT MORRIS
They viii Ask the Government to Re
fund Immense Loans.


New York, Jan 3-Robert Norris, the
fnancier who, in the Revolutionary war,
gave from his own fortune to aid the
government, died in a debtors prison.
His heirs propose to apply to congress
for the return of the money lent, with ac-
cumulated interest, the amount as stated
ranging all the way from five to eight
million dollars.
As near as can be ascertained, Robert
Morris, when he died, left four sons. One
of these sons was a private in the revo-
lutionary army. This young man de-
serted, set sail for England, and was never
afterwards heard of. All traces of his
descendants have been lost The other
sons lived in New Jersey.
Old Robert Morris, at the time of Corn
wallis last campaign, advanced to the
American government 81. 100000 in his own
notes. The understanding was that the
amount should be repaid when the finan-
cial position of the new government was
more secure. Other evidence has been
produced showing that bonds were tent at
various times when the critical necessities
of the rising nation seemed to require the
aid of friend. Exactly how much money
was advanced the government cannot be
definitely ascertained. History says Rob
ert Morris was superintendent of finance
and vested with complete control for some
years over the monetary affairs of the
country. Several times he used his repu-
tation as a man of great wealth to save
the treasury from embarrassment, and
there is no record in the department that
all or only a portion of these claims were
subsequently satisfied.

OLD RELICS FOUND.
Tecumseh's War Jacket and Scalpine
Knife Found by Janitor.

Alliance, O., Jan. 3.-Ndr. D. E. Jes-
ter, janitor of the Mt. Union college.
has brought to light two very valuable
relics.
They were placed in a very obscure
nook of the college museum and had
been entirely forgotten for many years.
One of the relics is a buckskin garment
handsomely fringed and well made
the war jacket that Tecdmseh, the
Shawnee Indian chief, wore when he
was killed in battle in 1913. 1t is discol-
be stains from the chieftain's blood
Along with the jacket is Tecumseh's
scalping knife enclosed in a case made
by the great chief from skin taken from
a white man.
The relics were secured by DR.. o. N.
Hartshorn many years ago.

TRAINING FOR DOGS.
Nearly 800 Animals Being Tougher
ed for Klondike.

Philadelphia, Jan. 3.-At Point Breeze
just outside of the limits of Philadel-
phia-is a bend of the Schuylkill river
that is found by every breath of win
ter.
Two hundred and seventy dogs are
being trained to draw sledges in the
KlOndike. They will be shipped there
is intended they shall form a line from
the gold fields to some point on the
east coast not yet determined.
The dogs are all sorts, none more than
2 years old, non4 less than 20 inches
high. Brawny dogs, too, most of them,
for a weakling would be of small use in
the KlOndike. Every one of them is as
strong and vigorous as a dog can be,
and each day they are all becoming
more and more accustomed to the lack
of those things that dogs generally get
in civilization.
Their quarters, when the dogs are not
being driven, are some WindOWleSS
only openings where the windows used
to be, and the cold and storm come in
as they please without effort being
made to stop them. This is for the pur-
pose of hardening the dogs, and appar-
emily has succeeded.
The animals food consists largely of
horse meat, on the theory that it should
make them tough, hardy and strong
and accustom them to the diet that is
likely to be theirs during their trips to
and from the gold fields.
The dogs are driven in teams of five,
three wheeIers and two leaders, So
called even if they are intended to draw
sledges.
Just at present, however, the sledges
consist of a box mounted on wheels.
which the animals draw over and upon
a diSuSed railway track.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Diges-
ton Means, Make a Test of
Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indiana
polls Gentleman.

ROA49 ~ ASAOAA4eA-As
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies; the real seat of
the mischief is lost sight of; the stom-
ach is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irreg-
ular; in others the kidneys are affect
ed; in others the bowels are constipat-
ed, with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and appetite
with accumulation of gas, sour risings
and heart burn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper of No. 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "A motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines re-
garding the new and valuable medi-
cine, Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets. I
have been a sufferer from nervous dys-
pepsia for the last four years; have
used various patent medicines and 9TH
er remedies without any favorable re-
suit. They sometimes gave temporary
relief until the effects of the medicine
wore off. I attributed this to my seden-
tary habits, being a boOkkeeper with
little physical exercise, but am glad
to state that the tablets have overcome
all these obstacles, for 1 have gained in
flesh, sleep better and am better in ev-
cry way. The above is written not for
notoriety, but is based on actual fact"
Respectfully yours,
A w. SHARPER.
81 Prospect Street, Indianapolis, Ind.
It is safe to say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach
weakness or disease except cancer of

The Secret OF Longevity.

Sir Isaac Holden, who died i'll his
ninety-first year, was neither teetO
taller nor "A nonsmokor. Sir Isaac was
man with theories. According To him,
the two great essentials for those who
would live long and be healthy are
plenty of fresh air and plenty Of fruit.
His rule was never, if he could help it,
to spend less than two hours day in
the open air. When he entered his first
situation, he said TO his employer that
he would be glad to have an hour daily
in the afternoon for q walk. If granted,
he would not ask for any holiday, or
would make up otherwise for the time
SO spent. This was agreed to. Sir Isaac
took his walk daily, and to this, he
used to say, he owed both health and
fortune.
But though in addition to fresh air
he believed in plenty of fruit, Sir Isaac
was not vegetarian. 1t was not meat,
but bread, from which he abstained.
Like Wesley, whose Natural Philoso-
ply" he studied when "A boy, he saw i'll

fish, / take SO much less Of meat. For
supper practically repeat my breakfast

fruit, Wine he eschewed, but on re-
turning from the house of commons to
Queen Anne's mansions he had tum-
bier of whisky and hot water before go
ing to bed. He took no drink with his
food and this obliged him to masticate
well. He smoked two or three cigars a
day, from which he used to say that he
derived both comfort and benetit.-St
