Every day the City Commissioners
are receiving complaints that this,
that or the other street which it had
been expected to improve this sum
mer, must wait until next year or
longer.
"But every man on the street wants
the improvement and is willing to pay
for it," the citizens argue.
Cant help that; the city has no
money to pay its share and the work
must wait" is the usual answer Of
the Commissioners.
They do not tell the property own
ers that the city's portion Of the cost
of an Improvement is usually small,
item in the total bill. They do not
tell them that the yearly salary OF
q single one of those Is additional
policemen would have paid the city's
share of the cost of paving North
Broadway, for instance, several times
over.
They might point out to the people
who are put out because they cannot
secure needed improvements, that the
salaries of two. of these policemen
would pay the city's share of the
Spicer st, Berg ST. and Kolb st. I'M
provements and still leave about 500
enough to secure lights where badly
needed, for instance.
Here are more facts; The yearly
salaries of four of those policemen
would have paid the city's share of
the Grant st. pavement ana more toe.
The Salaries of three of these po-
liccmcn would have more than paid the
city's share of the paving of East

A tonic is medicine that gives tone
to somo part of the system. There are
different kinds of tonics, but the tonic
stneeded in this country, where ca
tarrh is SO prevalent, is a tonic that
operates on the mucous membranes.
Peruna is tonic to the mucous mem
branes OF the whole body. Itgives tone
to the capillary circulation which con-
stitutes these delicate membranes.

One man purchased a small tract OF
land on which he erected small hut.
The line was surveyed to pass right
through the structure. The engineer
for the Richmond & Petersburg line
surveyed line which curved around
the house not touching the property.
The men called at the office of the
company the day following the sur
vey and asked what the company
proposed to pay for its property. He
was told that the road would not pass
through the lot. That night the house
was destroyed by fire. 1t was fully
insured. The real estate spectators
are now doing all they can to block
the building of the line.

Ex-President Benjamin Harrison,
one of the ablest men who has figured
in our public life, has always been
handicapped by his unresponsive, cold
manner. When he was in the senate
at Washington, D. c., in the early sos
he always brought his lunches to the
committee room. He carried 1t In his
coat pocket and would eat 1t while he
went on with his work. One day when
he got 1t out as usual from his pocket
be looked 1t all over ruefully, for 1t
did look rather fiat and dubious. He
finally remarked to those near by that
he guessed he must have sat on 1t acct
dentally. One Of the colleagues-one
who had recently been ignored by
Harrison - spoke up impulsively:
We'll, by Jove, Harrison, II you've sat
on 1t, I'll bet you a sixpence 1t Is fro

son took the joke kindly and Joined

British manufacturers have not
thought 1t worth while to study the
progressive chemistry of aniline or
naphthol dyes says a London CORE
sp0ndent to the Paris Messenger. They
have been content to leave the field
open to Germany, and the result is now
obvious Time was when British ami
line dyes commanded the market OF
the world. 1t is impossible to under
stand why that market was ever lost.
Nothing but Indifference can account
for 1t, and then we have to explain the
indifference, which is impossible. At
any rate, the market has gone, and
there Is not an anime or naphthol dye
used at the present day which Is not
produced in Germany.
The industry of the manufacture Of
British dyes is dead, and the industry
In British India of the growth of indigo
will follow 1t. Behar and other prov
fences will feel it, and 1t will mean the
ruin of innumerable natives who have
lived year after year on the produce
OF indigo Dying with indigo, how
ever, is at best clumsy and pro]0Dg-
ed process. 1t means dimensions in
various compounds, according to the
material of the fabric to be dyed.
Like indigotine. the new German dye
provides for single bath. So conf
dent are the manufactures of the sue
cess of their product that a considera-
bic sum has been spent on the neces-
sary productive plant, and the new
year will witness the advent of the
new dye. Save as a speciality, indigo
will not last beyond year or two,
and then another British industry will
have succumbed to German COMPETE

Women are to preside at the Re.

be. Women are allowed to vote in
several states, but there will be no
true reform until they are In complete
control Of the election machinery, and
the Kansas City innovation is a step
In the right direction. At the same
time, it is we'll to remember that these
new responsibilities must naturally ~
suit In new methods Of procedure In
order that the refining influence Of
woman may have full saying there

Is gratifying to note that this import
ant fact has not been overlooked by

woman who thinks it would be just
too lovely for anything to oficiate at
the primaries already has prepared Z
few rules which she proposes to sub
NIT to the ladies' Of the Kansas town
merely by way Of suggestions. The fol-
lowing are some of the more import
ant:
"Voters who are not personally
known to the ladies may secure an
introduction by applying to the master
Of ceremonies.
"After an introduction 1t shall not
be permissible to talk longer than ten
minutes with the ladies before vot-
ing.
Tea will be served between 4 and
5, when no gentleman will be incon-
siderate enough to try to vote.
ANY official caught making goo
goo eyes will be ned q box of bon
b0ns.
"A handsome man shall not be al
lowed any more votes than a homely
one.
1.-THE lady at the ballot box shall
have the privile of refusing to rec
ognize, either tally or unofficially,
any would-be vot does not move
in her set"
OF course, the rule relating to hand.
some men will meet with opposition
in many quarters, but the lady in
question asserts (although regretful-
ly) that she thinks it ought to be en-
