Arthur L. Benner and his wife. Mary Ben
ner. are the complainants in the petition

ton of the sewer. They allege that they
did not see the advertisement for the pro-
posed Improvement until after the date
had been set by the Board of Works fo=
final hearing on the original resolution. Ii

modified so that the assessment on the
property owners benefited by the sewer
would be increased without d second mott

will be of greater benefit TO Crown Hill
Cemetery, DIS il is intended to drain a low
part OF the cemetery that is now UNFIT Tor

DENNIS MURPHY MAKES CHARGES.
Tells Mayor BoOkwaIter that Cement
Walk Work Is O

Dennis A. Murphy will be asked by
Mayor Bookwalter this morning to sub
stantiate charges he has made against
several city officials. The mayor told him
yesterday 10 appear to-day and bring such
witnesses as he asserted he could bring
and if he did make his charges substantial
the mayor would ask the grand jury to
Investigate.
Murphy first sent to the nay an Hitter
ate letter alleging that one member of the
park board had bribed an inspector of the
engineers office for SIG. Murphy has been
making cement walks for T. f. Kane, a
contractor, and was ordered from work by
Inspector AL. Ferguson for refusing to fol-
low the specifications. Murphy appealed TO
Mayor BOOkwalter, who had him rein
stated because Murphy said he needed the
work to support his family Murphy, ac-
cording to Inspector Ferguson, insisted on
using a fraudulent gauge on his work and
was again ordered from it. The mayor
sustained Ferguson n Murphy's charges
followed.
Murphy talked about a number of in
spectOrS TO the mayor and made reflections
on members of the Board Of Public Works
and the Board of Public Safety. The
mayor those named by Murphy
In his office yesterday and asked Murphy
TO accuse the men TO their faces. Murphy
said he wanted his attorney and his wit
nesses. The mayor told him to return to-
day. Murphy said he would.
Murphy several years ago brought
charges against another administration.
He was for a time an inspector in the
engineers office, and his accusations,
while not so widespread, were along the
same lines. Specifically Murphy alleges
that when cement walks were being laid
on Morris street he saw an Inspector paid
SIG by a member of the park board. Muir
ply said il was bride money so that Kane
could use a barrel OF cement for every fifty
feet instead of one for every thirty-fOur
feet. as required by the specifications.

FEATURES OF HORSE SHOW.
ID. X. Mills, of Des Moines, the Man
ager, Outlines His Plan.

The committee having charge Of the
horse show feature of the fall festival has
engaged d.. r. Mills, of Des Moines, as
manager. Mr.. Mills was in the city this
week. He has gone to Chicago, but will
return here on Sept l to advance the in
terests of the show. Mr.. Mills is one of the
best known horsemen in the country. He
is not only known to exhibitors of the horse
shows, many of which he has managed,
but he is we'll known as the head of the
Mills Publishing Company. of Des Moines.
and the owner Of the Eghert, who, as a
troting sire, has more than one hundred
colts in the 2:30 class. One of Mr.. Mills's
horses. Elpha, by Allerton, 2:09A, he sold to
the stables of ~the Car for the
individual use of his Imperial High
ness. Mr.. Mills has given a great
deal OF his time to the promotion
and management of horse shows. His being
identified with the Indianapolis show in
sures a large attendance of fine horses.
w will make this one OF the greatest
horse shows in the country" said Mr..
Mills. II have already received the promise
of ten carloads of the best horses and
e~quipages from the West, consisting of
high steppers, high jumpers, park horses,
polo ponies, and the like. Included in that
list are several four-ia-hand coaches. drags
and tandems They are all new from the
shop, and will be used for the first time
at the indianapolis horse show. We will
also have a brilliant display OF high school
and gated saddle horses. and some Cana
dian jumps. A feature of the matinees
during the show will be the exhibit and
performance of the Shetland and polo
ponies. The local class will be for ladies'
riding and driving, boy and girl riders, and
such others as make a full local classified
ton.
1--WE desire to introduce many attractive
features. one of which will be the coaching
parade. each coach 10 take ten or more
passengers at the Columbia Club and
then driven through the principal streets
10 the festival field, where they will be
judged as the opening class of the show.
a four-in-hand race is also talked Of. in
asmuch as Mr.. Palmer's champion four-in-
hand team will be here from Denver. This
team recently defeated the famous team
of A. T.. AshbroOk at st. Paul, making the
mile with a heavy coach in 3:16. Mr.. Ash
brook does not believe that Mr.. Palmer
can repeat the performance, and has chal-
lenged him for a friendly contest during
the indianapolis show"

CLEAN HOUSE WITH AIR.
IL Is Piped All Through Big Four
shops-Whitewash That stays On"

You know men sometimes clean house
when their wives are away for the sum
mer by opening all the doors and windows
and letting the wind blow through the
rooms" said a man at the Big -Four shops
at Brightwood yesterday. well, that's the
way We clean house here, except that we
have the wind from a hose, and 1t is
known as compressed air. We have it piped
about the yards and shops and use it for
as many different purposes as water. For
instance. in cleaning passenger coaches, we
start in at one end Of the car with the hose
and nozzle and blow all the dust from the
ceiling, walls. cracks and crevices or the
woodwork. seats and floors right out the
other end of the car without its being
touched by broom, brush or feather buster.
We use il about the shops for conveying
the sawdust away from the wood working
machines. in the blacksmith shop for blow
ing the fire In the FORCES. In the foundry
for a blast in the metal smelling cupolas.
and for throwing cool breezes on men who
work in particularly hot positions.
ITO give you a still better idea OF the
diversity of its uses, we have been having
a little housekeeping and whitewashing
bee In some of the buildings, and when
we. got into the blacksmith shop we found
the interior covered with a generation or
two of SCOT from the smoke OF the forges.
We took our compressed air hose, put IL
on a long pole and cleaned oil the walls,
ceiling and rafters. After that we used the
same compressed air to spray on the white
wash. We did this by mixing the wash IN
barrels placed about the floor and convey
ing il TO the sprayer by means of a hose.
To the sprayer was also attached the COM
pressed air tube, which acted dOuDly as a
suction and protector for the wh!tewash on
exactly the same principle as one OF these
little perfume atOmiZers. We've got a recipe
for whitewash that beats all others, and as
everybody about now is giving the powders
and tree trunks and fences in their yards
a second annual coat | will give you the
recipe. OF course, we mix IL in large guam
titles out here, but will try to tell you
in the proportions for household use. Slack
the lime in a bucket of water the usual
way. then take about a third OF a bar OF
kitchen sOaN and thoroughly dissolve II In
water by boiling. Pour this into the white
wash with a pint tin cup full OF boiled lin
seed oil. The alkai in the soap causes the
water and oil to unite. and you will have
whitewash that will stay on"
