ITERATION OF PLANS
A Special Meeting of the City
Council Held.
TOO LONG FOR THE LOT
Contractors Notified OF the Change in
Proposed Fire Station Building.
Reuse to Make Sewer
Connections.

A special meeting of the city council
was held last evening to consider the
matter of an alteration in the plans
for the new fire station. Through some
error the plans as accepted by the coun-
Gil are too big for the size of the lot.
1t was proposed that the building be
reduced 10 feet, and Fire Chief Sanger
expressed the view that a building 70
feet in length would be sufficient for
the purpose required. On motion of
Alderman Knowlton, it was voted to
cut the length from so feet to 20, the
building in other respects to remain as
at present. The city clerk was in
structed to notify the contractors in
writing of the change. The matter of
a corresponding modification in the cost
of the building was then considered.
The following statement of saving by
the reduction in the size of the building
was presented by Architect White:
Stone wall, "a perches, ST.; brick wall,
1920 brick, S217.44; lumber. S,T0S feet,
1852; 1900 feet Oregon flooring, S36;
four squares roof, $40; Ill yards plaster
ing, $3.50; steel l beam, SIG; cast iron
column, $54; total saving, $51091.
The above does not include saving in
labor in having the floor. Contractor
Riddell also presented an estimate of
the entire saving, making the total
$516.96. The estimates were so close
together that there was no dispute, and
Mr.. Riddells figures were accepted and
the amount reducted from the original
contract price
Alderman Macarthur stated that the
people on the west side have positively
refused to make the sewer connections
required in the paving district. The
city engineer had notified them regular
ly, but they had absolutely refused to
comply. 1t should be decided whether
or not the city should go ahead and
make the connection itself. 1t was de-
clded that the city engineer should go
ahead and make the connections him
self The council then adjourned.

Took Away His Living.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
1t is well known that missionaries tn
China do a great deal in the way of al
leviating suffering among those who
cannot obtain the services of a doctor.
Quite recently a Chinaman lost his
sight and some sympathetic neighbOTs
came and enlisted the services of the
local missionary on his behalf The mis-
sionary found his patient suffering from
cataract and succeeded in removing L
and restoring sight to the Chinaman.
The obIiging neighbors then, however,
represented to the missionary that he
had robbed the man of the means Of
earning his living Che was blind"

be expected to take him into his ser

HE GOT A FRESH CROP OF HAIR
Terror at the Danger of His Son Caused
a Mans Hair to Change Color.


Everyone has heard stories of men
and women becoming gray-haired in a
night as the result of grief or terror.
Many of these tales are doubtless the
mere imaginings of writer's of sketches,
but that such phenomena are of oc-
Casional occurrence has been fully
demonstrated. A Chicago physician
relates this instance in a medical jour-
nal and vouches for it's truth. The sub
ject was a laboring man in the stock
yards district, aged 3S, who was not of
a nervous temperament. beyond being
slightly emotional. His hair was
abundant and of dark chestnut color
One evening as he was returning home,
preceded by his horse, on which was
mounted his son, aged s, the animal
slipped and the child was thrown off
and trampled on several times. He was
only severely bruised, but the father
thought he was killed. and in trying to
save him was rrOr-stricken. He tram-
bled and had palpitations and feeling
Of cold and tension in the face and
head.
Next day the hairs of the head,
beard and eyebrows began to fall in
quantities, so that after eight days he
was absolutely bald. At the same time
the skin of the head and face became
paler. Without delay the hairs began
to grow again in the form of a color
less down. Soon all the affected re-
gions were covered with finer more
silky and a little more thinly sOWn,
completely white hair.

HOME EXERCISE FOR BEAUTY
If You Desire Real LONELINESS Follow
These Rules.

''Ninety-nine women out of every 100
stand with protruding chins and abdo-
mems" was the statement which greet
ed my eyes in a magazine of recent
issue and sent me on a tour of inSpec-
ton. Really, l had no idea that there

to learn. You see l had been careless.
too, in not using my powers of obserVa-
ton. There is but one correct stand
ing position, and that is attained by
lifting the chest high and throwing the
entire weight of the body on the hips
Then the center of the chest will be
directly over the balls of the feet, while
the heels just touch the ground, Shout
ders easy and not thrown back, eyes
level and chin drawn in. This position
can be kept a long time with ease and
the high chest will give better fig
ure than a full bust. for the waist line
is heightened.
With neck relaxed bend the body
without moving the hips, to the front,
to the right. to the left, to the back,
then to the front and round again. This
exercise has an effect upon the diges-
ton and will often cure sick headache,
and ii gives a flexible and graceful
carriage to the body. 1t will bring one
rather near the ideal figure-high and
full chest, long and flexible waist, we'll
poised head and free-moving limbs.
Remember that all this can be secured
without the aid of expensive apparatus
or an instructor. if you will devote but
20 minutes a day to exercise. You will
not obtain satisfactory results without
patience and perseverance; exercising
one day and skipping two is useless.
And the sitting-well, it is the sim
plest act Imaginable. Just drop easily
into a chair and remain there without
squirming. On arising draw the feet
under the chair to secure the poise of
the body, and the muscles will do the
rest without fuss or bother. No chair
arms will be needed even when you
get to be an old woman. Watch the
women in the next trolley car you en-
ter and count those who sit and rise
gracefully. and if you find more than
one or two you will have better luck
than / ever had.
VERY few human beings take sleep
as nature intended-with relaxed mus

flesh and bones while they sleep, and

equally limp, but begin to cramp their

A VERDICT OF ACQU|TTAL
Witnesses Swore That Connolly
Was Not in 1t.
JURY AGREED WITH THEM
One Witness Was Looking Intently in
Two Directions at the Same
Time-Miss McNeil Saw
the Blow Struck.

Two of the numerous assault cases
that have begun recently in justice
courts as an outgrowth of internal
strife in labor circles We're disposed of
yesterday, one being heard by Justice
Bliss and the other by Justice Harring-
ton, In each instance the defendant
had the gang behind and literally
swore the case out of court. One of
the cases was that in which John
Lynch complained of having been as
saulted on Main street about 10 days
ago. Lynch is a member Of the new
Plumbers union which the members
of the old iourneymen's union are try
ing to drive. out of business. ii would
appear. from the number of assaults
that have been made on the members
of the new union. He was walking
down Main street one evening with
Miss Mamie MCNEIL, when a gang OF
the old jOurneYmen jumped him. He
was knocked down and kicked into in
sensibility. Thomas Connolly was the
NAM arrested for the assault and he
had his trial yesterday afternoon before
a jury in Justice Bliss court
Lynch told of being on a shopping eX
petition with Miss MCNEIL. They were
passing a saloon where the journeymen
have their holdout. when he was
knocked down and kicked till he lost
consciousness. Miss Mcneil corrobo-
rated Lynchs testimony and said she
was walking just a little behind Lynch
and distinctly saw Connolly strike the
blow that knocked Lynch down. She
was very positive in her identification
of the defendant as the man who struck
the blow. but four or five members of
11o'S n <
positively that Connolly had nothing to
do with the assault and one said Con-
molly was some 20 feet away from
Lynch at the time, while he, the wit
ness, stood between Connolly and the
spot where the trouble was going on.
He said he had his eyes riveted on Con-
molly all the time, yet he was able to
see in the opposite direction at the
same time and saw a man named Kelly
strike Lynch. The jury gave verdict
of acquittal,
The case heard by Justice Harrington
was that of Harry Rhodes who was
accused of participating in an assault
on Louis Demars in the Silver Bow
brewery. Attorney s. A. Merritt repre-
scented the defendant and Deputy Coun-
ty Attorney Roy S. Alley appeared for
the state.
Demars said he and his brother went
into the saloon to get a drink. Rhodes
came in and was invited to join them.
He stood talking to Rhodes about
civil suit that was pending between
them, when gang rushed in and
mobbed him. Demars sWore very pos
itively that Rhodes struck him and
said he was satisfied Rhodes, who was
a member of the Plasterers' union, had
put up the job with the gang, who were
also members of the PlaSterers union,

ONE of the most important
themes, upon which Henry George
wrote and labored to correct, was
the unequal burden of taxation,
falling lightest upon those who
most easily could bear it, and heav-
lest upon those whose shoulders
are already CALLED. In this connec-
ton it can be truthfully stated that
there are men in jackson who own
valuable property, improved and
