PLUMBING INSPECTOR TO BE
PROVIDED FOR
But the Yearly License Instead of
Fees Don't Go-City Hall
Notes and News

At the weekly meeting of the council
finance committee yesterday several
plumbers appeared to champion petition
sent by them to the council and by that
body referred to the committee for recon-
mendation. The petition, after asking that
the council provide greater facilities for
transacting business in the office of plumb
ing inspector, offered the suggestion that
the permit fee system be abolished and Il
yearly license be paid by each employing
plumber. After full discussion the COM
mittee decided to report as follows:
In the matter of the petition from Thomas
Haverty, calling attention to the made
quate quarters of the plumbing inspector,
also requesting an additional plumbing in
spector and suggesting yearly license in
lieu of the present permit system, we beg
to report that it would be highly desirable
to provide some relief for the present con-
gested condition of the quarters now occu-
pied by the plumbing inspector, superin-
tendent of buildings, boiler inspector and
assistant, commissioners for opening
streets and secretary of said commission.
We would, therefore, recommend that
quarters be provided outside of the city
hall building for the commission for the
opening of streets; that the expense of said
quarters be charged pro rata in each
street opening, proceeding as provided by
law, and that the city pay for such portion
of the occupancy Of said quarters as is
not provided by charges to the several
street opening processes.
We recommend that the request for a
yearly license system be denid. We would
also recommend that the present permit
system be thoroughly investigated with
view of having charges Hereunder bear
equitably upon the operators Hereunder
and with a view also of determining upon
the expediency of appointing an additional
plumbing inspector.

mand of G. j. Griffith for S39.70 for ex-

NOT ENOUGH POISON
A FUTILE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE
WITH ROUGH ON RATS
Insane Man on Whom the Seven Books
of Moses Are Resting, Hence
He Decided to Die

Henry Bowman, who rooms at 20S,a East
Fifth street, attempted to commit suicide
in his room Friday evening by taking a
small quantity of Rough on Rats" He
told no one of what he had done, and when
he became violently i'll it was supposed
that he had suffered a relapse, as he had
been sick before. a physician was sum-
moned, but was unable to determine what
was the matter. Bowman's illness in
creased. but not to an alarming extent.
All Friday night he suffered great agony
but SO small had been the dose of poison
Late yesterday afternoon Bowman told
the people in the house what he had done.
They at once notified the police, and the
patrol wagon was summoned. Bowman
was sent TO the receiving hospital. DR..
Hagan. who attended him there, stated
that the quantity of poison he had taken
was not sufficient to kill him, but it had
made him a very sick man and his illness
would probably continue several days. The
man is evidently insane probably from
the result of long Illness for when he was
asked why he had taken the poison ne re-
piled that the seven books of Moses had
heen resting on him for days and that he
could not stand 1t any longer. He deter
mined to end his life and having been in
formed that many people failed in at
tempts at suicide by taking too much poi
son, he took only what he could hold on
the point of his pocket knife. He was
made as comfortable as possible and will
be sent to the county hospital today.

Suicide Said to Be Epid demic

Dr. La Rue, the famous French author
ity on abnormal Phenomena, and profess
sor in Laval university, has. after ex-
haustive comparison of facts in France.
Belgium, England and the United States,
come to the conclusion the inclination to
suicide is a mania. and is epidemic. There
seems to be strong corroboration of this in
our own country, where one suicide-par-
among young females-follows
another. No learned authority has as yet
discovered with eXactitude whether ma
aria is epidemic or endemic, but il has
been a matter of notoriety for nearly half
century that the most reliable preven-
tive and curative of the various forms of
malaria is Hostetters Stomach Bitters.
Restored patients have not only set the
seal of their appreciation upon it in malar-
ial cases, but commend it for rheumatis
kidney and liver trouble, nervousness,
dyspepsia and constipation. 1t improves
both appetite and sleep, and is capital
mitigant of infirnity in advancing years.
