Not Our Fault.

The Signal will be late this week
owing to the imbecile manner in
which the streets have been built up
under incompetent engineering, by
raising the former low ends higher
than what was once the high ends.
Practically no drainage facilities have
been provided. Persons erecting
buildings have been permitted to
deposit earth from excavations in
streets and alleys, filing them foot
or two more than formerly AS con-
sequence of this laundering and care
lessness the Signal Office, which was
once high and dry in the worst Of
wet weather, is now flooded with
melted snow and rain water which
cannot drain Off. At this writing
"wednesday the foundation of our
big cylinder press, which weighs
about five tons, is standing In six
inches of water and we cannot run
it under those conditions. Our engine
room is also flooded and although the
forms are ready on time we are
obliged to await such time as the
pleasure of elements and the reced-
ing of the aquatic evidence of the
methods that have been pursued in
municipal improvements, permits
us to operate our machinery. This
condition is becoming chronic and
the only apparent method Of individ-
ual relief is both distasteful and ex-
pensive to all parties concerned

BLOOD AND IRON.

You could not live an hour without iron in your blood
 You could not get the benefit of ona breath of air without this same iron.
 The blood runs the circuit of the bodv every three minutes and when it reacbe. the lungs each atom of iron takes tu,o atoms of oxygen back with it to keep the fires of hfe going. This oxygen destroys waste matter and helps to restore yonr wasted tissues
 If your blood lacks iron you lack that much of life; you fail that much to keen up the needed repair of your bodies-that at is, you get run down and sick This . ooe counts for the life-giving properties os Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. It supplies iro, and to do that it Is to restore the fui, body building power to the blood Tb,s iron has peculiar life-quickenina fnnc1 ton; vitality goes down whenever any proportion of the iron Is lacking. vipor and strength returns just as surely wben this element Is restored
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic helps sick ar tired-out people quickest because it con tains the particular blood-making and strcngth-giving form of iron that the eve tem needs This remedy purifies and en- riches the blood. it increases the activity of the stomach, liver and Kidneys. + overcomes nervousness and builds nm vi tality and strength. It agrees with tba most delicate and deserves your conf dence because it has been doing all these things for forty-five years. Prepared only by the Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,. Dayton Ohio.

STATE OBJECTS TO
 FARE FOR BRIDGE
MISSOURI, KANSAS AND TEXAS ROAD CHARGED 2s CENTS FOR PASSAGE ACROSS RRIDeE-sUIT TO ENJolN IT.

Washington, November 11.-A decision was rendered by the United States Su- preme court today in the case of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas Railway Company vs. The Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners of the State of Missouri. The case came to the Su- preme court on writ of error from the Supreme court of the state of Missouri and the decision of the lower court was reversed
 The opinion was handed down by Jus tice Brewer. The principal point at issue was on the question of the removal of the case to the Federal courts. The case involves the legality of the charge maue by the railroad company for transport ing passengers and freight across its bridge over the Missouri river at Boone vile, Mo. The state law fixes the rate for carrying passengers into Missouri at cents per mile and it seems that the railroad company attached an extra charge of 20 cents for transportation across the bridge and that an extra charge was also made for freight cross- ing the bridge. The practice was at tackled by the railroad commissioners and suit brought in the state courts to enjoin the railroad company. In the Su- preme court of the state the law was sustained.
 Application was made to remove the case to the Federal courts on the ground that the railroad company is a citizen of Kansas. The motion to this effect was overruled by the state Supreme court and 1t is this opinion that is now re- yersed The case therefore, goes back for further proceedings

BAD DREAMS Caused by Coffee.

'I have been a coffee drinker, more or less, ever since I can remember until a few months ago I became m lore and more nervous and irritable, and finally could not sleep at night for I was horribly dis turbed by dreams of all sorts and a spec ies of distressing nightmare.
 Finally, after hearing the experience of numbers of friends who had quit coffee and gone to drinking Postum Food Cof- fee, and learning of the great benefits they had derived, I concluded coffee must be the cause of my trouble, so got some Postum Food Coffee and had it made strictly according to directions
 was astonished at the flavor and taste. It entirely took the place of cof- fee, and to my very great satisfaction I began to sleep peacefully and sweetly My nerves improved, and wish could warn every man, woman and child from the unwhoesome drug, ordinary coffee
 People really do not appreciate or real ize what a powerful drug it is and wkat terrible effect it has on the human sys- tenn. If they did, hardly a pound of 1t would be sold. I would never think of going back to coffee again. I would almost as soon think of putting my hand in fire after I had once been burned.
 A young lady friend of ours had stom- ach trouble for long time, and could not get well as long as she used coffee. She finally quit coffee and began the use of Postum Food Coffee and Is now per- fectly well. Yours for health. Don't publish my name"-Herington Kan. Name given by Postum Cereal Co. Ltd.

MEXICAN PAPER
 ATTACKS AMERICA
COMPARES UNITED STATES TO ROME-SAYS IT HAS GOLD HEAD, slLER ARMS, BRONZE STOMACH AND CLAY FEET.

| Mexico City, November u.-El Tiempo, clerical organ, continues it's attacks on the United States. comparing the Ameri- can union to a monster with head of solid gold, breasts and arms of furnished silver, stomach and muscles of bronze and feet of the most brittle clay.
 Fl Tiempo says that race hatred in the United States is inextinguishable, not withstanding the promised redemption of the blacks emancipated by Lincoln; and negroes, simply because they are born with a black skin. are cast out, beaten, tcrmented and lynched and are there fore in continual insurrection prompted by the implacable desire for vengeance
 The United States is compared to an cient Rome as depicted by the historian Tacitus.
 The Liberal papers take decidedly more kindly view toward the United States, though they regret the absorp- tionist tendency apparent in the modern policy of the great republic.
 Senator Davis, chairman of the United States delegation in the Pan-American congress- has made an excellent impress sion by his friendly and frank explana- tion of the true position of the United States regarding Latin America It Is becoming known that this is the attitude of President Roosevelt, and there is in Liberal circles a growing friendly regard for the American chief magistrate. On all hands he is admitted to be a states man of unusual force of character.

EARL HAS PLAN TO
 BREAK THE BANK
PLAYS TEST GAME WITH GROUP. TER TO SEE IF THE SYSTEM WILL PUT MONTE CARLO OUT OF BUSINESS.

New York, November u.-According to the London correspondent of the Herald the Express. states that Earl Rosyln who recently tried to float company with a capital of $100. 900 for the purpose of per- fecting a system capable of reducing the Monte Carlo system to state of bank ruptcy, has secured interesting results with his new scheme.
 On Monday croupier played test game with Earl Roslyn at Nos. 91-93 Jermyn street, where he dealt trente ct quarante cards for two hours in the morning and again in the afternoon, while Earl Ros- lyn played valuable stakes according to the system. The result of the first days play against the croupier was a win of 265 pounds ($1S25.) On Tuesday, Novem- Der 5, the game was resumed. and at the end of the day, after several heavy im- aginary losses the Earl won 1000 pounds ($5OOO) During the whole of the time oc- cupied in playing the Earl continually made puzzling calculations and always referred to a big chart which was cov- cred with mathematical problems and hieroglphyics that reminded one of an- cient Egyptian papyri
 Sporting men and experts are sceptical and say that before any money is in vested in the Earls system 1t would be necessary to see the result of 2, 900 coups played continuously.

The part of the pork packer was well taken care of by Morris Mcaugh. The company was suitably cast and the performance as a whole very credftable-
