Notice.

There Is an ordinance against any
one having any obstruction whatever
in any street or alley In the city and a
penalty for letting It remain, but the
officers, for various good reasons, have
not seen ft to enforce this ordinance
up TO the present time. In my iudg-
ment the time has now come for
every street and alley in the city to
be opened-they belong TO the public
and should be used by the public. All
streets and alleys not opened or OBJ
structions removed by December 1,
1902. or good cause shown why they
should not be opened by that
time. shall be opened by the proper
officers and the expense charged to
the ones owning the distractions.

IMPORTANT IOWA DEBT. DECISION,

The decision of the Iowa supreme
court permitting cities to exceed the
constitutional debt limit where public
utilities are secured and the debt is OFF,
set by public property thus obtained,
may open a door of usefulness in a
similar direction for other cities that
desire such public improvement and are
now hampered by what they consider
is legal barrier.
The decision, which was In an OF
tumwsa suit, where an attempt was
made to restrain that municipality
from contracting an Indebtedness OF
100000 for the building of water
works, solves serious problem in ia
yor of those citizens who We're bent up
on securing cheaper water rates. The
private corporation which owned this
utility in Ottumwa refused to make
s such concessions in rates as the people
desired, and was fortified, as it's officials

itriction in regard to debt making BY

Causes of sIeeplessness.

There are many causes Of sleepless-
ness, and all are not as important In
their origin. OF course ii one deals
with fever, With mania, With unusual
debility of the whole muscular organ
ism, certain medicines must necessar-
lily be given and the constant attention
of a physician is required; but men,
women and children suffer from disor-
ders of sleep which are entirely amen-
able to home treatment, and it goes
without saying that the woman who is
at the head of the house, be she wife
or maiden aunt, should know enough
to control insomnia when its cause is
so simple that hygienic methods may
may be made available. The insomnia
of children, it seems to me. is largely
due to disturbed digestion conditions
such conditions arising from improper
food, too rapid eating, the presence OF
ascarides or unusual excitement in
school or in the social life, and l use
the words social life advisedly because
children are so many times over-ex-
cited, from the habit parents have OF
exhibiting their cleverness and from
the fact that this exhibition taxes re-
sources when they are at their very
best ebb. The child has right to con-
servation of nervous forces. The fewer
people to whom he is introduced the
better, and the child Should never be
shown off, Yet I am not a woman
who belittles social observances. and

Coal Strike Commission.

The commission has an arduous task
before it. Not one of the questions it
has to decide can be determined with
out much investigation and much TAX
ing of evidence. 1t is not a simple
matter to determine precisely what in
crease in wages, If any. shall be given.
1t is an extremely complex problem.
1t may be several months before the
commission will be able to announce
its findings rs regards the questions
submitted to it by miners and operat-
ors. The commission probably will
need even more time in which to pre-
pare the report on its study of the an-
thracite coal industry and to formulate
its recommendations for a reorganiza-
ton OF the industry in such q manner
as to secure continual peace. The mem
bers of the commission will be busy

No Remedy for Greed.
NinneappliS Times

That greedy, rapacious and capacious
monstrosity, the Pullman Palace Car
Company, congra tulates itself upon the
fact that last year was its largest ever.
Here is a case OF swelling of stock to
the limit possible of expansion lest
the dividends should appear so atroci-
.ously out of proportion to the service
rendered that the public would begin
a crusade against the leech. In a sen-
eral way the stock is worth about three
times the amount of money ever in
vested in it, and cash and stock divi-
dends are about 25 per cent year.
while the surplus swells until now it
reaches the s11,O00.OOO mark. The sad
dest thing about the whole affair is
that there seems to be no remedy.
Railway companies hate the Pullman
monopoly, but do not seem to see their
way clear to break 1t.

The guides roared with laughter.

Again the guides roared

scholar. "You come over to Trout

"'T'aint fair" said Ben, because I'm

I'd beat you easy. Better try some
fellow that don't know how to swim

"I'll be there" cried Ben. I'll be
there and I'll go away with your

1t couldn't have been a better day

The boat was to remain Within a circle

In the boat the scholar was busy pre-

The decision is one that embodies
