COUNCIL TAKES ACTION
Refers Question to Committee
on Claims and Accounts.
Several Sites For a New Pest
House offered.

The statement in Friday evening
State Journal concerning the condition
of affairs at the city smallpox pest
house was brought to the attention of
the council last night by a resolution
introduced by Councilman Weber de-
handing an investigation Of the state
rnents made by George E. Ward to the
effect that the groceries furnished by
the Weber Grocery company were Of
inferior quality. Mr.. Weber's resolu-
ton was as follows:
ITO the Mayor and Council:
The Topeka State Journal in its IS
sue of this date contains statements in
reference to the quality of the gro
ceries furnished by me to the smallpox
hospital in this city which seriously re-
fleet on my standing not only as a
member of the council but also as q
business man, and I desire to offer and
have adopted the following resolution in
reference thereto:
Resolved, that the committee on
claims and accounts be directed to in
vestigate said statements and charges
and report at the next meeting of the
council. w T. WEBER"
The resolution was adopted, and the
investigation Of the charges will take
place before the committee on claims
and accounts.
Councilman Bergundthal, Of the
claims and accounts committee, object

and accounts committee. He said:
This committee knows nothing about
the bills which it allows aside to see to

the official in charge Of the department
where the bill originates. It is not our
business to see to it that the various
departments get the right kind Of goods.
For my part I do not think it is the
business of the committee to investigate
this matter. I don't propose to 60 out
there to the pest house and hunt for in

1T won't be necessary for you to do
that" said Mr.. Weber. Il win bring

the goods furnished were all right.

The Kind Of Work Done by
.PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Mrs. Mary Hickey, Of South Sodus,
n. Y, Had Rheumatism
So Bad She COLD Not Walk.
Had to Be Wheeled About the
Hose IN an Invalid's
Chair.
The Use Of the Never-DisappOintiDg
Rheumatism Bauisher Cured Her.

True merit, prompt and effective re-
suits, and astonishing cures have given
paine's Celery Compound a position on
the highest round Of the ladder Of fame.
Paine's Celery Compound is today the
only spring medicine asked for and
bought by thoughtful and discerning
people. For the treatment Of serious
diseases such as rheumatism, neuralgia,
nervous disorders, and blood troubles,
Paine's Celery Compound has no equal.
The credit Of Paine's Celery Com
pound has advanced to such high EN-
inence that amongst the millions who
use it we find the names Of millonaires,
bankers, professional men. wealthy mer-
chants. and women Of note. All have
made it their chosen remedy for the
cure of chronic diseases and for the
Punishment of the little ailments that
often make life miserable.
Paine's Celery Compound, in the opin-
ion Of the leading druggists and physl-
clans, has displaced all the common ad-
vertised medicines OF the day. This
great work has been accomplished only
by merit and genuine cures. Rheuma-
tism. neuralgia, and nervous disorders

Celery Compound is used for a time

BAKER HINTS ar FRAUD.
William Jewell College Charged With
sFixing' Judges of Debate.

Baldwin, May 1.-THE debate between
William Jewell college and Baker uni
versity was called off and the William
Jewell debaters left for home. The Ba-
lker debaters charge fraud in the selec-
ton of judges. They say that as RAJ
ker has never yet lost an intercollegiate
debate they viii not debate with judges
who have their decisions prepared in
advance.
They offered to send committeeman to
Topeka or Kansas City to select judges
or to choose Judges by lot and then to
chose sides of the question by lot The
William Jewell men refused all CON
promises. This will probably end rela-
lions between the two schools. Nothing
is known at William Jewell in Liberty,
No, regarding the trouble. 1t is al
legged that difficulty was experienced in
agreeing on judges It is said Baker
wanted to have a trustee of their col
lege act as judge.
