The second reading of the amendment
to the appropriation ordinance, which
distributed the ten-cent levy. came up
and there was renewal Of the night
provoked and waged in council and out
several weeks ago.
Mr.. Watson claimed the ordinance
wasn't as prepared.
Mr.. Caldwell jumped to his feet to
say something.
Mr.. weisgerber moved to lay 1t on the
table. He was informed by the chair
that his motion would carry the ordi-
nance with 1t. Mr.. Caldwell looked
daggers at Mr.. welsgerber. The latter
turned around in his chair suddenly and
said: We'll, you fellows settle your
fight then"
The welsgerber motion was defeated.
An amendment to the ordinance by
Mr.. Caldwell was followed with Sec
ond amendment by Mr.. Watson. Mr..
Rilleen made a pointed address, which
stirred up Mr.. Watson, for the former
said Mr.. Watson had agreed to abide
by a certain sewer improvement, hence
was going back on his promise.
Mr.. Caldwell spoke next. Then came
Mr.. Gaus, another Sixth warder. The
melee was enllvened by Mr.. Kllleen
taking another hand in support Of Mr..
Caldwell. The rival factions were led
ON the one side by Caldwell and Kill
leen, and by Watson and Gaus on the
other.
The chair was forced to restore order
frequently. The councilmen from other
wards grew impatient and restless, and
we're thankful when a vote was called
for.
The Watson amendment succeeded,
the vote being II to in its favor.
Then Mr.. Caldwell objected to an
other reading of the ordinance. bellev-
ing 1t was the second reading, when 1t
was the third. The ordinance was
adopted: 10 ayes, 5 noes.
When the ordinance reached the first
branch, Mr.. Gartley. of the Caldwell
faction. offered a virtual substitute,
which was passed. Just after the vote
It was announced that the second
branch had adjourned. therefore the
ordinance couldn't be sent back for
concurrence, and other business that
came from the second had to lay on
the table.
Mr.. Gartley proposed to use the ten
cent levy In his ward, as follows:

AN ENGLISH VIEW
or the Situation in the Philippines.
Otis Censorship.

LONDON, July ga private letter
received here to-day from a war cor
respondent at Manila and dated July H.
says:
There seems to be no end of the war
in sight. The censorship is constantly
becoming more troublesome. General
Otis recently established a rule that
any matter relating to the navy must
be taken to the commander of the heet
for his approval and afterwards sub
mltted to the military censor, thus add
ing to our difficulties. For some rea-
son which the censor would not explain,
General Otis refused to allow us to
send the death OF the Monadnock'R
captain, CNicholas). for two days after
Its occurrence. The general also re-
fused TO let US send news OF the dis
appearance of Captain Rockefeller
april 2S) on the ground that 1t would
worry his family. or the killing OF Capt
lilly, OF the signal corps, until the next
day. The correspondents are all very
tired OF this arrangement which simply
means that they must go out and run
large chances OF getting shot several
times a week, with no chance OF maxi
ing regulations. because their stories
must always reflect Otis views.
at is impossible to write the truth
about the situation. The resources and
fighting qualities Of the natives are
quite misunderstood by the American
papers, and We cannot write the facts
without being accused OF treason; nor
can we tell Of the practically unanl-
nous opposition TO and dislike OF the
war among tho American troops. The
volunteers or at least n portion of them
were at one time OH the verge Of mu-

gun sending them homewards there

A GREAT TRUTH.

All organized living things whether be- longing to the animal or vegetable king dom contain within themselves the germs of death and decay.
 Germs of disease are often generated within the human system through inner feet digestion of food, producing various poisons which scientists have denominated pfo0iGlnes. A stomach weakened by abuse. gorged with over eating or over burdened With hot bread, too rich or greasy foods or those too highly seasoned, becomes weak ened and fails to thoroughly digest the food. heavy, sodden mass is accumu. lated i'll the stomach to ferment as the first step in it's decay, giving of foul gases to distend the stomach and poison the blood until 1t becomes thin weak and lacking in the red corpuscles so necessary to perfect health
 The over distended stomach presses upon the heart, and the latter organ IS also dis turbed through sympathy, the same system ot nerves being distributed to both organs Thus palpltation and irregular action of the heart with its attendant shortness of breath, result, and in time. disease of the heart itself is established.
 The gases and other poisons generated from undigested, fermenting and decay ing food i'll the stomach becloud the brain, causing headaches, and pain i'll the eyes
 Being absorbed into the blood these poi sons reach every part and organ of the sys- tenn Tue kidneys are thereby poisoned, causing Bfight's disease and diabetes Fil- terthg through the skin, troublesome skin diseases often show themselves
 Every organ and every nerve, depending as they do for their nourisliment and renewal upon the stomach, weak digestion shows itself not alone i'll loss of appetite and flesh, but also in nervousness. debility, bad complexion and many other derange- ments.

 Grow Most at Nlrht.

1t is a curious fact that night is the time which nature utilizes for growth. Plants grow much more in the night than in the daytime, as can be proved any time by measurement.
 Measure vine at night, then meas. ure it again in the morning and the next night, and it will be found that the night growth is two or three times that accomplished during the day.
 During the day the plant is very busy gathering nourishment from va rious sources. and during the night this raw material is assmilated into the plant life.
 The same fact is true of the animal creation. Children grow more rapidly during the night.
 in the day time, while the child is Wake and active. the system is kept
 qsy disposing of the wastes conse- qaent on this activity; but during sleep the system is free to extend it's opera tions beyond the mere replacing of worn-out particles hence the rapid growth.

Visitors Barred from tn. sopdan.

Many persons have, since the recon quest of the Soudan. been desirous of making trips of curiosity to Khartoum and 0mdurman, but all endeayors to do so have been fruitless. The sidar will allow no stranger to cutter the cities, and the government refuses all applications for permission to cross the desert. Lord Kitchener is proceed ing with the work of planning out khartoum, and by the time that tray elers are free to enter the city they will find very little to show them what the city was like in Gordons day. The reason for this action on the part of the government is that the desert is not yet safe for those who have not a military escort
