RUSH THE WORK.
Ought to Be No Delay In Com
mencing City Hall.

The city council will make an effort
this evening to complete the details
and agree upon preliminary details for
the new city building.
The building committee has not COM
pleted it's work and there is a POSSIBLE
ity that no action will be taken to-
night.
Mayor Drew and nearly all the mem
bers of the council are in favor of
pushing the work with the greatest
possible dispatch. There is no time to
lose if the city offices are to be moved
before March 1. Mayor Drew thinks
that by rushing the work the walls at
least can be completed before January
1.
The state conventions will be held
next year and the auditorium ought to
be ready for occupancy by not later
than June L A delay now might de-
feat the very object for which the audi
tOrium is to be constructed. There
should be no DELAYS.

DEWEY THE CHIEF.
Admiral Sampson Not to Be Super
seeded by Admiral Howison.

New York, Sept. 1S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
According to officials more concern IS
being displayed by the newspapers over
the possible supersedure of Admiral
Sampson at New York by Admiral
HowisOn than in naval circles. They
say no such supersedure Will take place
because the Chicago will not reach New
York in advance of Admiral Dewey.
This confidence is not based on inStruc-
lions given to Admiral HOwisOn, but
rather upon their understanding of the
matter.
The Chicago's itinerary ordered her
to remain at Barbados five days so
that the vessel will not sail until Sep
TENDER %, unless she should be hur-
ried. Sailing on that date would per-
init her arrival at New York on the
2Sth, but it is believed that Admiral
Howison will proceed north leisurely
and arrive at his destination early in
October. Immediately upon the arrived
of the ship Admiral HOwisOn is to be
detached and ordered home to await
retirement and as this is his last cruise
he Will probably want to remain at sea
as long as possible. Even admitting
that he will arrive at New York on
September %, it is said that while he
may be senior to Admiral Sampson, he
will be junior to Admiral Dewey, who
will assume command of all the vessels
within signal distance.

How Major Dallas Was Compelled to
Listen to a Tale of Woe.

Major E. ]. Dallas of this city does
not bear a close resemblance to Sam
ueI A Riggs of Lawrence but q Demo-
cratic brother at Paola a few months
ago made the mistake of supposing Mr..
Dallas to be Mr.. Riggs.
Mr. Dallas was walking down the
street on business and did not heed the
salutatiOn of Hello, Judge" addressed
to him by man walking behind him.
It was repeated and the stranger placed
his hand on the majors shoulder and
extended the other to shake hands.
Before Major Dallas could explain
the stranger said: Judge Riggs = am
very glad to see you I want TO tell
you about some political trouble we
are having in our county" Dallas was
steered around the corner of n building
into an alley and compelled to listen
for an hour and a half to a recitation
of the political troubles of the Populist
minority in that county. He was so
angered that he neglected to explain
when the interview was concluded and
walked away Indignantly without Civ
ing the prescription to cure the ills Of
the Office seekers.

THE STUDY OF FOOD.

When a man knows that he depends
on food alone from which to make his
brains and that his success in life is
largely owing to the kind of brains he
has. it would seem the part of wisdom
to study food a bit.
All men do not have the opportunity
to make a careful analytical study of
the subject and are satisfied to have
the food experts attend to this for
them.
food especially made to supply
the nourishing elements needed to re-
build the brain and nervous centers

use for ten days or two weeks produces
a sturdy, substantial and powerful con-
d1tIon of the thinking machinery, en-
aiding one TO do things, to make money
or succeed in whatever enterprise is
reasonably undertaken.
Systematic, logical, concentrated
thinking is the one requisite to success
and that needs, good, healthy brains.

the country.

CLARK,S SUCCESSOR.
Matter Is Now In the Hands of a
Committee.

New York, Sept. 1s.-A special to the
Times from New Haven, Conn. says:
The matter of choosing a successor to
President Clark of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford road is now in the
hands of the standing committee, con-
sisting of President Clark, Vice PreSi-
dent John Hall, William Rockefeller,
J. Pierpont Morgan of New York;
George J. Brush of New Haven; Henry
G. Robinson, Hartford; Charles f.
Choate of Boston, and w. D. Bishop
of Bridgeport.
The appointment of a successor will
be a satisfactory one to both President
Clark and the New York interests.
There is now no friction between what
have been styled the Clark and the
Vanderbilt party in the directorate and
there will be no difficulty, it is said, in
choosing the man for the place. This
may be the present vice president of
the road, Judge John Hall, or it may be
General Manager Chamberlain, or one
of the numerous railroad men, among
whom are President Q. S. Mellen OF the
Northern Pacific, who was at one time
vice president of the New Haven road,
and would like to return as its presi-
dent; President Lucius futile of the
Boston and Maine, or man more
closely interested in the New York
Central than either of these.
A prominent stockholder of the road
in this city is authority for the state
ment that Mr.. Clark's withdrawal
means the absorption of the New
Haven road by the Vanderbilt system,
and that developments in the director

Chickasaw Indian Law Makers Viii
Try to Stop a Fraud.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-A special to the
Chronicle from Perry, o. T, says:
A telephone message from Tishom-
lingo, I. T., states that the ChickasaW
lawmakers are at work in earnest and
that something of a sensation was
sprung in the house by the introduction
of a bill proposing to raise the price
of Chickasaw marriage licenses from
$50 to $1,000 Such a bill was before the
legislature last winter and was de-
feated, but the, bill proposed to raise
the license to $500 instead of 81 00O-
On account of the Dawes commits
siOn's refusal to enroll intermarried
citizens, unless married under the
Chickasaw laws, many couples have
secured Chickasaw licenses and have
been remarked under the Chickasaw
law, so that both husband and wife
might be enrolled as citizens and enti-
tied to allotment instead of the citizen
by blood only. So many marriages of
this sort have been made within the
past few weeks that some of the legis-
lators will endeavOr to raise the license
to $1,000 and shut off these intermar-
rled citizens not married under the
Chickasaw law. from their snare in the
allotment of lands

ate in the near future will prove this
beyond a doubt.
Cornelius Vanderbilt owned upward
of a million dollars of the stock of the
road and the repassing of this great
interest into the Vanderbilt family
tween the Vanderbilt system and the
New Haven property. However true
this may be, it is certain that interest
ing developments are looked TO TO Sc
cure in the immediate future by the
New Haven road stockholders and
sweeping changes in the makeup of the
directors would not be a surprise to
any one.
1t is believed here that the day of
New England control Of the New Haven
road will pass away with Mr. Clark,s
retirement, and that that control will
certainly go to New YORK.

New York, Sept. 1S.-The new battle

day from Newport News left the man of
war anchorage at TOmpkinsvilIe early
today and proceeded to the navy yard.
Preparations had been begun there to
put the warship into dry dock as soon
as possible. She has not been out of
the water since her launching a year
ago and her under body is probably
very foul. She Will be scraped and
painted and will start Wednesday or
Thursday for Boston, where the official
trial board will go aboard. An effort
will be maze to bring the battleship
back in time to participate in the Dewey
