Judge Mitchell Files Amendment to
Brief.
SAYS HE WANTS IMMEDIATE HEARING
Makes Startling representations to
Supreme Court Regarding Alleged
insufficient Water Supply in East
End-Action of the City Is Surprise.

The appeal of the city of Ottumwa
from the decision of Judge Robert
Sloan granting an injunction to C. A.
Swanson, restraining the city from
building new system of waterworks,
will be heard by the Iowa supreme
court at Des Moines. Feb. l. JudgeJC.
Mitchell, who was recently employed
by the city to push the case has been
successful in getting the case placed
ahead on the supreme court docket,
and he announced today that the hear
ing would be on February l. Judge
Mitchell went to Des MoineS yester.
day morning for the purpose of pre-
senting the case to the supreme court
The brief filed by him was similar TO
the one filed in the federal court, in
an application to annul the Injunction
obtained by the City Water Supply
company against the city. However
an amendment was made tc the brief
as a result Of the big fire in the East
Fad Sunday morning in which Judge
Mitchell alleged that upon the show
ing made that the water service was
entirely inefficient it would entitle the
case to en- immediate hearing.
City Is Hopeful.
The city hopes for a successful is.
sue of the case from the supreme court
and believes it will be able to either go
ahead and have 2 new system erected
or issue new franchise. The propo-
siticn in asking for an early hearing
OF the matter has been carried on with
considerable secrecy, as it is under.
stood, that the water company might
make showing and try to have it put
off as long as possible. AS the court
has fixed the time for hearing, it is
not believed the company will make
any further fight on that proposition.
To Settle tho Case.
1t is the city's belief that a decision
of the supreme court will settle the,
case. The believe that a favorable
decision by the Iowa body will be fol-
| lowed by the federal court, as it is held
! that the federal courts will not likely
disagree with the local judges where
1 the case does not involve any federal
| questions.
Never Been Reversed.
The representative of the city are
somewhat anXiously awaiting the re-
! suit of the opinion in the case Judge
Sloan, who granted the injunction, has
never been reversed in the supreme
court, and il decision is rendered
against him this time it will establish
a precedent. Judge Sloan hardly made
! au opinion in the case when he grant
ed the Injunction, however. In grant
ing the writ he took occasion to state
that he believed the supreme court
was the proper body to pass on the
questions involved, and that he did not
believe it necessary for him to pre-
pare a lengthy decision, and that he
would simply order the Injunction for
the purpose of having it taken to the
higher courts. as both sides have al,
ready indicated that they would do
4 this.

A Way to Prevent Car Sickness.

A gentleman describes how he pre-
vets car sickness. He says, About
one year ago took a trip to California
for my health. l had always suffered
greatly when travelling and have been
unable to eat ordinary food. A friend
who knew this advised me to take
Grape-Nuts with me and / purchased
nnr1her of packages.
During the entire journey of five
days / ate nothing but Grape-Nuts pre-
pared with milk and sugar and /
gained strength steadily and suffered
NJ illness whatever, besides at the end
of the journey I found to my delight
that l. had gained FIVE pounds in
weight.
consider Grape-Nuts the best food
in the world, it keeps perfectly, is not
bulky and is easily digested, is
strengthening and far preferable in
every way to ordinary food Name

There is one sure way to prove
whether or not Grape-Nuts does re-
build and strengthen the brain. Try
it ten days or two weeks. Thousand

Resourcefu1ness of Chinese Cooks.

ResourcefuIness OF Chinese Cooks.
If there is one sphere of European
domestic life in which more than an,
other, says a traveller, the Chinaman
finds scope fer the exercise Of his own
peculiar ingenuity, without doubt it is
in the regions dedicated to the pursuit
of the culinary art. Here he will allow

seen contingency to catch him una

chops for tie dinner of yourself and
your wife. suddenly, all unthinking,
bring in q friend to share your humble
meal, you will find the cook out of two
chops has miraculously created third
created it so skillfully out of odds
and ends of meat deftly strung togeth

Ne.r nilf. Fnr nra One.

Not every one is aware OF Just what
the United States snbtreasury win do
for a person with soiled currency. If
any one has such bills. in no matter
how small quantity. and wishes to get
brand new bills, all he has to do is to
go down to the snbtreasury and hand
the old currency over the counter. The
government will hand him in return
new bills of any desired denomination.
Perhaps under strict Interpretation
of the law the government clerk might
refuse certain bills on the plea that
they were still fit for circulation, but
in practice the government is inclined
to be very obliging. and. unless the sup
ply of clean money on hand should
happen to be temporarily short, the
clerk will without hesitation hand over
perfectly new and unfolded bills in re-
turn for money which has been folded
possibly only a very few times.
AS a matter of fact a vast amount
of money is turned in which could not
have circulated among more than half
q dozen hands. But it is all redeemed
and the new currency issued in ex-
change. The subtreasury supplies the
new cash, too, without any expense,
no matter If millions are to be ex-
ehanged.--New York Times.
