They found themselves assigned to =

living In their house paid their board

the unfortunate agent Is not allowed
20 depart until she pays all the sx-
psnses involved in her trip 70 New
York. She is allowed to 90 home. but
r. compelled TO leave her trunks or
whatever jeWelry she has to compen-
safe the manager for the amount Of her
outlay. There Is, Of course, no legal
ground on which this could be done,
as the baggage Is her baggage, there
Il no lien on It for the advances, and
there is no understanding Of that kind.
One unfortunate who worked q month
with 30 little success that she was dis
hsartened wanted to get away and
paWned her watch. She then discoV-
cred that her trunk was held for q
board bill Of $50. She was allowed 70
leave after she had taken the watch
out OF pawn and given It TO the woman
manager as security. A party Of four
who found themselves practically pris-
oneTs two weeks ago were lucky
enough TO have some acquaintance
with q lawyer, who saw Immediately
the injustice Of the claims made
against them and enabled them to 90
home and take their baggage with
them. One popularity Of the way In
which the business is conducted Is the
selection Of the girls. For New York
only agents are engaged to come from
more or less remote northern or south
srn places, while those who were sent
to Boston and other eastern points are
selected only from the west One Of
the rules Of the business Is to allow
none Of the agents TO work in the ter
ritory in which they have lived and
are known. They are all sent to
strange places.

COld-Food Cure Fad.

A new cure has appeared In Paris
which is said to be much in vogue, es-
pecially among members Of the smart
set. II takes the form Of special diet
and the particular malady at which 1t
Is aimed Is ove-stoutness. The idea OF
this diet is that everything, or nearly
everything must be eaten cold; and
even hot coffee, tea or soup Is forbid
den to those following the regime. The
early breakfast Of toast, cold game or
hard-boiled eggs and ham is accom-
panied by a cup Of cold milk. At lun-
eheon, again, there is nothing but cold
meats and cold buildings, with bread
and cheese or salad; while again, at
night, the meal may consist only Of
mayonnaise Of fish, cold entrees, and
entremets.

FUNDS ARE DIVIDED
Incomes of Various City Depart
ments Definitely Fixed.
KING AND ALLEN PASS THE LIE
The Pruning Committees Session
EnIivehed by q Hot, Verbal
EncOunter.

The pruning committee Of the city
council late yesterday afternoon COM
plotted the work of apportioning among the
various city departments the funds for
their maintenance during 1902. When the
entire list had been covered and tentative
grants made for each, it was found that
the total exceeded the possible income
from all sources by $2S.52272. Later it
was learned that the receipts from icen-
ses and other fees would be $4,000 in
stead of $429, ,O00 but even this left some
thing like $4,000 to be Topped off in order
to keep the expenses of the departments
within range of the available funds. Then
the real work of pruning commenced.
The first decrease was for the fire de-
and had been allowed this on the first
reading. The appropriation was made
$347 900. The street lighting fund was in
creased from $115, 900 to $169,000, this be-
ing one of the items that was cut at the
forenoon session against strenuous pro-
test. A subcommittee consisting of AL
dermen Leighton, Dwyer. Peterson, Rand
and McVaskey was given the work Of max
Ing the final changes that would effect the
necessary reduction, and It's report was
accepted. The following table shows the
appropriations made the several depart
ments, the original estimates of the heads
of those departments and the recommen-
dations Of the board OF tax levy:

BONE Settlers WORK TOR
LITTLE TOMMY DRISCOLL
The Most Remarkable Results of Painless
Operative Surgery on Record.
This CASE STARTLES THE WORLD

The wonderful work of the Bone-Setter
of West Superior, Wis, for little Tommy
Driscoll Of Ashland, Wis, is simply be-
yond belief, and so startling in its nature
and results as to astound the world. This
little fellow was 10 years old when
brought to see the Bone-Setter. He was
born cripple in his feet. His toes were
where his heels ought to be-feet turned
clear around. and he was walk
ing on his outer ankles, while the
bottoms Of his feet were facing
upward. Imagine child in this
condition, a helpless cripple from birth,
and for life. Before bringing the child to
see the Bone-Setter, there had been ten
surgical operations with the knife per-
formed on his feet by various surgeons.
Not one gave any relief or in any way
righted the wrong. Then his feet and
ankles were put in plaster casts, which
did no good. His little feet were all
SCARED up from former operations. In
less than five minutes the Bone-Setter
Strengthened his feet perfectly straight,
without knife, and without pain. His feet
are perfectly straight now and he Is walk
ing as though he had never been de-
formed in the feet. Tommy Is the son OF
]. ]. Driscoll janitor of the postof1ce at
Ashland. There are hundreds of people
who have known the child ever since he
was a baby and who know that he is no
longer cripple.

Indications point to the reopening Of the

the Oregan Railway & Navigation COM
pany for supremacy in the state of Wash

whether the Hartman interests in the
Northern Pacific are strong enough and
are In a position to stop the threatened
invasion of Oregon Railway & Navigation
territory by the Northern Pacific.
The dispute centers in the Walla Walla
country. The Northern Pacific surveyors
from Milton, Oregon, near the boundary,
are surveying a line practically parallel
to the o. R. & N. line. The traffic of that
region Is of high class and heavy In

The fight for supremacy in this terri
tory has been on for ten years. Both sides
have closely watched the situation and

other party was asleep. When the North

pointment Of the harmony board by Mr..
Morgan 1t was thought that the contest
would be amicably settled. The Union
Pacific is very jealous of this piece of ter
ritory. What Mr.. Hartman can do from
the inside of Northern Pacific councils or
what Mr.. Morgan will do, in regard to this
movement, will be waited with interest.
In the meantime it is understood that the
Northern Pacific is rushing the surveys

Some of Theodore e. Prices marital
gyrations will be examined into next Sat

for an order compelling the pawn broker
inspector to pay alimony and the expenses
of defending the divorce suit which Mr.

charges that the case was begun simply
to annoy and harass her and to cast re-
fections on her character.

Price, complete story of the marriage IN

With the appearance of the mayor, who
petitioned the committee for more money
for the police department at the afternoon
session, the monotony of the proceedings
was relieved. First DR.. Ames defended
his politics, insisting upon re1terating that
he was a republican, so elected and so
serving in spite Of the protests of some
members of the board that his republican
ism lad not been questioned In this meet
ing. Then he switched to defense OF MS
policy in refusing to tax the houses OF III
| fame each month, as his predecessors mad
done. At the morning session Clerk Allen,
of the municipal court, had said that
Captain King of the detective force had
told him that not one half Of the houses
of that character in town were listed and
taxed The mayor brought Captain King
| into the committee room to deny the
statement Captain King said: 'Mr.
| Allen has been a bitter enemy Of the po-
lice force for six years, and all l have to
say is this, that when he said l made any
such statement to him, he told this hon
| oreble board an Infamous lie."
Mr.. Allen was recognized by the board
and repeated just what he said King said
to him. 'King came to my office just
after the present administration was in
augurated" said the clerk, ''and asked
for the list of houses of i'll fame that
were taxed. There were thirty eight on
the list Looking them over, he remarked
| that not half of them were listed" Mr..
ALLEN said that Captain King then enum-
Grated several of the houses, whose names
and locations Mr. Allen repeated for the
board. He said that when King denied
making the statement he told lie.
"And l think that with this honorable
board" said Mr.. Allen, my word is as
good as that of any ex-gambler in the
world"
mo better" retorted King. "You ain't
man enough to meet me-"
'Id hate to-after dark"
King started to say something else to
the clerk but Mayor Ames stepped in

got to stop"
King started to say something else to
Allen, but the mayor laid his hand on his
shoulder and said, 'Tut, tut! You have

stored the routine work was again taken

The Profits of Investors Will Reach

The whole gospel of American life Is
to get bigger-its a matter Of dollars.
The wage Garner the clerk and the busi-
ness man are looking for something better
than per cent. They want to invest
their money so that 1t will be safe and
will bring large returns. They are care
fully looking for safe investment. They
do not care to speculate. The Tabasco

Garner, the clerk and the business man
have been looking fora safe, conservative
plan whereby anyone can obtain large re-
turns and yet feel assured that his money
is absolutely safe. as safe as If 1t was in
vested in government bonds.
The Tabasco Plantation Co. owns 5000
acres (part under cultivation) in the
state of Tahasco, Mexico. The greater
part Of this plantation will be planted
with rubber trees. Rubber costs to pro-
duce about cents per pound and brings
from 60c to 81 per pound. Five acres of
rubber in the seventh year will bring a
net profit of over $750.00 and this amount
will increase every year thereafter. If
you purchase five shares now you will re-
ceive dividends every year and will only
have to pay $3.50 per month for forty
eight months and $25 for thirty-six
months. Think what your investment will
net you at the seventh year ($750) and at
the twelfth year 1t VIII bring about $2,5OO,
and thereafter even larger amounts. This
is because the rubber trees rapidly In
crease their production each year as they
get bigger. The very fact that conserva-
tive and sound business men are interest
ed in the Tabasco Plantation Co. should
convince everyone that the plan Of in
vestment is certainly safe and good
