complaints because Of the publication OF
the fact that levy for campaign purposes
had been made When inquiry was made
as TO the basis for this kick IL was dts
covered that the chief point for fault fsnd-
ing Mes because Of the statement that the
'',rtse blue mem bers had BEEN assessed
10 per head. while in truth IL was only
the betted fixed OF the fraternity who were
asked 10 contribute this muniacent sum.
Diligent questioning finally developed
that the assessment had been fixed upon
q basis of 10 per cent. OF the monthly
income of the assessed. and that IL was
NOT all on the list who had been called
upon for SO. For instance. monthly
salary Of 500 would Justify this assess
only S.. and so on.
II has also been learned that tbs pro-
posal to levy an assessment met with quite
q marked opposition, and that IL was only
after determined fight that Ii was agreed

agreed that tbs publicity OF the levy would
hurt their cause and lead 20 belief that
the coming fight Is TO be one I'm which

Catarrh to
Consumption

Catarrh invariably leads to consump-
ton. Growing worse and worse each
winter. those who rely upon the usual
treatment of sprays, washes and inhal-
Ing mixtures find that it is impossible
to check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the sur
face The offensive discharge increases
all the while, and gets deeper until it is
only question of short time when
the lungs are affected.
The importance Of the proper treat
uent can therefore be readily appre-
ciated. But no good whatever can be
expected from local applications. as
such treatment never did cure Catarrh,
and never will. Being blood disease
of the most obstinate nature, Swift's
Specific (SS.S.) is the only remedy
which can have the slightest effect upon
Catarrh. I, is the only blood remedy
that goes down to the bottom Of all stub
born diseases which other remedies
cannot reach.
Mrs. Josephine Polhill. Of Due West,
S. c., writes:

Catarrii that / lost my hearing in one

ADVERTISING COMES HIGH.
Will Cost $4,000 ia Publish Notice Of
Civil Service Amendment

Special Dispatch tn the Post-InteIligencer.
TACOMA Jan. e2-The city authorities
are evidently Of the opinion that the re-
submission of the civil service amendment
AT the spring election Is of such import
ance as 10 forbid taking the least shadow
OF chance from a legal standpoint. The
publication OF the notice OF this matter for
thirty days Is the chief expense attaching
to laying 1t before the people and will cost
the city in the official paper at the con-
trac, price for legal printing, approximate
ly N000
In looking up the law regarding this
publication the legal department found
that the constitution OF the state and the
city charter on this point do not entirely
agree. The former provides for the pub
hcation in two papers. while the latter
stipulates the notice shall be published in
the official paper of the city. After dis
cussing the matter IL was agreed that II
would prove unwise to leave any ioophole
for a contest. and IL was accordingly de-
cided that the provisions of the state con-
stitution should be followed.
This doubles the expense of publishing
the notice. had IL appeared In bat the OIL
cial paper. The rate for all legal notices
from The city II Is cents per inch each In
ssrtion. and the Evening News. which has
been given the second publication for
thirty days. will doubtless charge the city
n the same rate for this work This will
make the expense of resubuitting the civil
service amendment. for printing alone.

Special Dispatch TO the Post-lnteiligencer.
TACOMA, Jan. 22-John Lakenburger,
a Swede. made a request in the superior
court today 20 be committed 10 the in-
sane asylum. The poor unfortunate Is -
years old. apparently in sound health. and
says he knows he Is insane on one sub
ject. He is a monomaniac In believing he
Is a direct representative OF Christ. and
has been instructed 10 prepare the desen-
crate people of the period for the second
coming OF the Master.
The Swede is ordinarily zane on all 9TH
er subjects. discusses his own condition
clearly, and seems TO fee. badly because
people do not believe he Is insane. When
Judge kean limited at the Swede being
a fakir the latter said he had served a
term at the Medical Lake asylum, where
he had grown better and from where he
was discharged IL was upon reaching
Tacoma that his head again went wrong,
the Swede said but when the court told
him he would have to furnish further evil
dence OF his insanity in order to be COM
mitted, Lakenburger hopelessly said he
could not do it. as people generally took
no stock In his story.
l-akenburger was accordingly told 10 80
bis way. and left the court room visi-
bly, disappointed because he had not
been ordered taken TO the asylum. He
does not look or act like fakir or beat.
and seems thoroughly sincere In his conn
pant against himself.

A curious custom at Nantucket Ia the dis

other produce are auct!oned off in the same
way, whenever there Is glut in the mar
ket. There Is no floating population on
the island to consume the surplus stock
