not sell to the consumer. We have been
given to understand however, that the
law does not allow us to refuse to sell
plumbing goods to consumers, if we have
them for sale, and we shall act on that
basis. We have not refused to sell any
goods to any man who has asked US to
sell to him, and will not do SO in the flu
ture. AS a matter of fact, We have sold
plumbing goods to very few citizens,
doubtless because people do not know
generally that we have them for sale, as
we do not advertise them. We will GER
tainly sell direct to the Board of Educa-
ton or any Government body who may
Apply TO us for plumbing goods.
we understand that the plumbers of
this City have applied to the National
Plumbing Association fer a charter. After
such charter is granted, our under
standing is that the members of the Ma
tional Association Of Manufacturers of
Plumbing Goods will not sell plumbing
goods to any dealer unless he has sub
scribed to the Baltimore rules. AS these
rules prohibit selling to anybody except
the plumbers, the law requires US to sell
to consumers, and the Manufacturers
Associations rules prohibit their selling
us goods If we do sell to consumers, we
do not know just what the outcome will
be. We understand that there are no
manufacturers in the United States
Canada outside of the trust. If we sell
not buy of us. In fact, they Will be pro-
hibited from doing under the rules of
their Association. If an attempt is made
t. enforce fully the rules of the Associa-
ton here, we shall probably go out of the
business rather than have any trouble
over the matter. We certainly do not in
tend to violate the law, and when the AS
ISOLATION rules fully extended here we
cannot do business under them, as we
understand il, without becoming liable to
a violation of the law. The Honolulu
Iron Works has acted in this matter in
perfect good faith, and with no intention
to violate the law or to enable the plumb
ers to cinch the public. We believe that
certain plumbers here have made extor-
tionate charges. but there are others who
are honest and reliable men, who are
doing business on a narrow margin. If
people are so foolish as to give a plumb
er or anybody else order in blank to do
work. without agreeing upon the price. it
| is their own fault If they are overcharg-
] ed.
I'VE believe that the key of the situa-
ton TO protect the public is in having an
honest. fair plumbing inspector. With an
honest civil engineer as an inspector, who
will pass work which is good and throw
out only that which is bad. we believe
that the honest plumbers who do good
work at reasonable rates will soon get the
business to the exclusion of those of the
opposite kind

COUNTY BOARD IN SESSION
only tnimportant Routine Business
is Brought Jp for Com
s"ideration.

The county board was in session yes
terday for the transaction OF routine bust
ness, Several minor bills were allowed.
The finance committee in making a report
did not mention the 500 claim Of Frank
Ransom for legal services, which was filed
a few weeks ago. The republican members
OF the board are so opposed to the allowance
of this claim that the popocratic majority
is allowing 1t to remain pigeon-holed for
the present. Ransom bases his claim on
services rendered Ed J. Dee in his effort to
force County Clerk Haverly to give him a
clerical position.
The bonds Of deputies in the Office OF the
sheriff were approved, also the bonds of sew
eral constables.
License to sell liquor was granted to Henry
Mics, who has a saloon in Clontart precinct.
The only monotony in the routine was the
turning down OF Charles Larsen's applica-
ton for the position OF engineer at the court
house and Jail. Larson was a republican
applicant and Messrs. Harte and Ostrom OF
the court house and Jail committee reported
in favor of giving the appointment to their
Commissioner Hector, who is
the third member Of the committee, did not
sign the report, which was rejected by a
strict party vote. There will be another
meeting of the board next Saturday.

IL APPOINTED Receiver, VIII
Collect Insurnncc.

An echo Of the horrors OF Dawson city and
the kioudikc trail is brought out in the APP
pointment Of a receiver for The estate OF the
late Joseph Taylor. Judge Eeys.r made tho
appointment yesterday, naming Charles
r. Clapp as receiver. Action Was instituted
by the Omaha Savings bank, to which Taylor
is said TO have owed money.
Ia the summer OF 1897 Taylor went from
Omaha u the Klondikc. He reached Daw-
son city and died a few days after arriving
there, so the petitioners state. Il was sew
eral months before any tidings came OF him,
but at last the bank received word that Tay-
lor had died, and the report was suisse
qucntly verified, 1t is said. When Taylor
left Omaha he owned twelve acres Of sub
urban property, on which was situated a
dwelling house. He carried an insurance
policy on his house. 1t was issued by the
CaIedonian Insurance company Of Scotland
and represented 1880.
On the night Of November I last year the
Taylor house was destroyed by fire. Proof
OF the loss has been made to the insurance
company, but payment has been refused on
INC ground that no one is authorized to re-
ccipt for tho money. For this purpose and
IN order that the property may be looked
aiter The bank prayed the appointment Of a
receiver. Taxes are delinquent and there
arc several other matters that need atten-
ton. Receiver Clapp has given bond in The
sun of 81, 900.

An unknown man was thrown violently
from a buggy, which was struck by Wal
nut Hill motor No. 80 Saturday night, and
seriously injured about the head. The ac-
cident occurred shortly before II o'clock as
the man was driving west on Cass street,
near Fifteenth. The car was going cast
and just before they met the horse sud-
denly Swerved across the track. The man
was thrown out and struck his head upon
the pavement, sustaining several severe
scalp wounds. He was removed to n
nearby livery stable, where City Physician
Ralph soon came. After a hasty eXamina-
ton he said the man appeared to be badly
hurt, but no bones We're broken. 1t was
apparent that the man was intoxicated
and he was so stupefied from the combined
effects of the accident and drink that he
was unable to speak intelligibly. As nearly
as could be understood his name is Scan
Ian. He was taken to the Presbyterian
hospital in the city ambulance. John Nc
Clurg, motorman, said that the man turned
his horse right across the tracks and the
car struck before It could be stopped. He
alleges that the fellow was intoxicated.

BAXTER CASE IN A MIDDLE
Strange Friendship Existed Between
Father, Son and the Sons Lady
Friend; Mrs. Baker.

The testimony of Mrs. L. E. Gray in police
court Saturday brought to light a peculiar
state of affairs in connection with the Bax-
ter bigamy case. She had always known
Baxter, the defendant, by the name of Baker
she said.
Did you ever meet any of his relatives %
asked Assistant County Attorney Helsley.
Yes, l met his father once. He was with
Gene Cthe defendant) and he introduced him
to me as his father, Mr.. Baker. Later l
met his stepmother and she referred to her
self as Mrs. Baker"
The senior Baxter appears in the city
directory as E. H. Baxter, and this, he
says, is his right name. On the witness
stand Saturday f. H. Baxter said he knew
of the alliance between his son and the
complaining witness, but regarded her as
his mistress, not as his wife. He admitted
taking several meals as their guest at the
housekeeping establishment maintained by
them.

They CAUSE DEAFNESS.
Use OF Nasal Remedies For Catarrh
a Dangerous Practice.
Ear Troubles Seem to BE Growing
i'm This Climate,

" Many a person has been seriously crippled
in the sense of hearing by an Indifferent
use of so-called remedies. Before using "A
local remedy il would be wise to first learn
what will not be accomplished by such an
application. Forcing a liquid or any sub
stance into the nose is like pouring water
into a sieve. The liquid merely spreads
over the floor Of the nasal cavities and rolls
down the throat, or out the other nostriI.
or into the eustachian tubes or entrances
10 the ears.
Forcing diseased mucous dow the throat
is almost wicked, while plugging up the
ears Is equally repTehcnsiblC. We thus see
that nothing l. accomplished by local treat
ment.
There IS a remedy known as Gauss ca
tarrh Tablets, which acts upon the mucous
membranes of the body stimulating thsir
secretions ANA enabling them TO throw off
the deposits OF congestCd mucous. And II
you are a catarrh sufferer don't neglect to
use these internal tablets in preference to
anything else called a catarrh cure.
Cdtarrh Is a deep-seated malady due to
LESSONS OF the mucous membrane, not alone
often the stomach, kidneys. bladder and
bowels. These points are all admirably
explained IN a little pamphlet issued by c.
y. Gauss OF Marshall, Mich, proprietor of
Gauss Catarrh Tablets. These tablets are
the only safe and scientific catarrh rem
cay ON the market, and are sold at nearly
all the frst-class drug stores at 80 cents
a box.

you a copy Of his little book. lie sends i

Festner Printing Company Re.
~instntcS Mnndnmms prnccehings.

The Festner Printing company has re-
opened its mandamus action to compel the
county commissioners I. take notice of it's
hid for county printing, which was submitted
several weeks ago when advertisements were
issued for bids. The same action was
brought once before, but was dismissed be-
cause the plaintin had not made the re-
CURED formal demand upon the county board
before entering suit.
1t is claimed by the plaintiff that its bid
is lower than that of a competitor to which
the contract was awarded. The commission
ers say it makes no difference how low the
bid is, it cannot be considered for the reason
that the board is governed by a rule that no
contracts shall be awarded to any printing
house where non-union labor is employed.
That charge is made by the commissioners
against the Festner establishment. The case
will be tried on it's merits before Judge
Keysor Monday morning. After the original
action was dismissed, the plaintiff made the
required formal demand.

A warrant has been issued for the arrest
OF Joseph Keller on the charge of obtaining
goods under false pretenses. The Parlin,
Orendorf & Martin company, dealers in agri-
cultural implements, is the prosecuting wit
ness. In the complaint it is alleged that
Keller made representations of s~olvency to
the firm in such strong language that he
was trusted for II bill of goods aggregating
a little over s., 900. 1t is further alleged that
he was unfaithful to the trust and that upon
investigation it developed that his assets
were not such as he had represented. The
action is before Judge Vinsonhaler in the
county court. 1t is said that Keller's pre-
vious reputation has been good, but the COM
plainants do not mince words in their

Quite a number of the members of the
United Labor club appear to be opposed to
the ticket nominated by the labor con-
vention last Monday night and it is reported
that an effort will be made today to re-
arrange matters. Should the ticket be re-
modelled it is probable that Patrick Trainor
will be named for mayor in the place of j.
w. Ballard. w. 5. Babcock, the nominee
for city treasurer, is receiving considerable
encouragement from his friends and it is
possible that he will ask the republicans
for the nomination.
