LAKE MAY CAUSE SUIT A. J. BROOKS AGAIN COMPLAINS OF BLOEMFoNTAINE. Health Board Advises Use of Kero- sene on the Water, But Board
 of Revenue Declines
 to Act.

c. A. Allen, clerk of the Montgomery County Board of Revenue said at the meeting of the Board yesterday that he had been informed by A. J. Brooks that if the county did not take steps to compel the owners of Bloem Fontane Park to do something to prevent the spread of malar4al germs from their lake, he would proceed to sue the county.
 Last week MT. Brooks. who is a citi- zen of the Bloem Fontaine neighborhood, complained to the Board of Revenue of taine Park. MT. Brooks said there was an abundance of vegetable matter all over the lake and its decomposition caused a spread of malarial germs that was dangerous to every one in the neighborhood. MT. Brooks said at that time he was scarcely able to walk because of a fever and that his wife was in bed with malaria. He had con suited the Board of Health but had been advised that the Health Board was pow erless to act on account of having no funds.
 County Attorney John c. Finley was present at the meeting of the board last week and on being consulted said it was had no authority to act in case of this kind
 The Board of Revenue took no action in reference to the matter.
 After MT Allen had stated yesterday what MT Brooks had informed him the situation was again reviewed by the mem bers of the board and again they decided that they were pOwerless to help relieve the condition reported at BlOem Fontaine Park.

"I have used Peruna for dyspepsia and I cheerfully give you this testimonial Am satisfied if it is used properly it will be of great benefit to our people. l ca n coLscientiously recommend it to anyone who Is suffering with stomach or catar- rhal troubles. R. W. Wilcox
 Remedies for dyspepsia have multiplied so rapidly that they are becoming as numerous as the leaves of the forest, and yet dyspepsia continues to flourish in spite of them all This is due to the fact that the cause of dyspepsia is not rec. ognized as catarrh.
 If there is a remedy in the whole range of medicinal preparations that is in every particular adapted to dyspepsia, that, remedy is Peruna. This remedy Is well nigh invlncible in these cascs.
 No one suffering with catarrh of the stomach or dyspepsia. howeveS slight. can be well and happy. It Is the cause of so many distressing symptoms that it is a most dreaded disease. Peruna acts inn mediately at the seat of the trouble. the unframed mucous membranes lining the stomach, and lasting cure is effected.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna. write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he win be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

TO WIDEN A STREET
ALDERMAN RoEDER PRESENTS
 RESOLUTION TO COUNCIL.
Wants to Increase Width of Mont gomery Between State and Goldth-
 waite-Mayor to Get Esti
 mate of Property Damage.

Alderman Paul Roeder wants to widen Montgomery Street between State and Goldthwaite Streets so it will be 50 feet from curb to curb and an Sfoot side walk
 The franchise of the Montgomery Trac- ton Company gives that company the right to lay a track on Montgomery Street which is not a wide thoroughfare If the street is widened the property own CTS on either side will be reimbursed for the damages that they may sustain.
 The matter of widening Montgomery Street was brought to the attention of the City Council last night by Alderman Roeder in the following resoluton:
 Whereas. It is de:irable to widen Montgomery Street from State Street to Goldthwaite Street, be 1t
 Resolved, That the Mayor be- and he is hereby. requested and authorized to ascertain from the owners of the proper ty lying on both sides of Montgomery Street between State and Goldthwaite Streets what amount they will be willing to accept for damages to their respective properties by widening said street so as to give roadway of fifty feet from curb to curb and an eight-foot sidewalk on each side thereof. and report to the Coun- cil at the next regular meeting"
 Alderman May wanted to know what was the object of the resoluu n.
 To his question, Alderman Roeder re- sponded that the street was to be W d. ened for the benefit of the farmers com ing into town.
 The resolution was adopted, and the desired information will be secured by Mayor Joseph

INSTITUTE CLOSES
DEMONSTRATION
 OF SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
"Lesson Construction" Discussed by Miss Minnie Kennedy-Child Conversion Subject of Ad-
 dress by MT. Holloway.

The Primary Union Institute closed Sunday afternoon with a session which crowned the series by giving an eXa;nple | of a modern Sunday school primary les son.
 The devotional exercises were led by MT c. c. Miles.
 Miss Minnie Kennedy conducted the lesson. but previously talked on Lesson Construction" She said there was a dis tincti0n between lesson preparation and lesson construction. and the preparation should be an important point. Each teacher should be familiar with the les son and the central tn ought that it is de- sired taught. The construction should be directed into point of contact" illus trations, transition" lesson story" and review ''
 After d clear exposition of the con- structiOn of lesson, Miss Kennedy seat ed the children directly within her point or view and proceeded with the lesson Clearly she led the minds of the pupils step by step until she reached the climax x and she then read the golden text. The children were especially interested, and it was plain that they had gained as clear an insight intp the lesson taught as the adults in the audience.
 The program provided for a paper on Value of Music in Child Training" by Miss Augusta Woodruff.
 Miss Woodruff being out of the city. her paper was read by Mrs. Lucy Phillips. There Is nothing new in the idea. Miss Woodruff stated. but her effort was rath- CT to emphasize the value of music in the religious or other training of a child.
 MT. W. E. Holloway spoke on Child Conversion. The work of the Institute. said Mir. Holloway. was the hope of reaching the child-the child is the hope of the church and the world. If properly trained and the truth was instilled in the mind of the child, it would be pre- pared to withstand all storm of infidelty.
 MT. Holloway did not believe in the necessity for sudden conversion. The most potent influence on the young mind and heart was in the home where the principles of faith would be instlled. Mr. Holloway made apt illustrations of his points.
 By request Miss Kennedy again de- sCrhed the grading of the primary pupils in a Sunday school as it had come with in her observation. A number of pupils of Sunday schools of all denominations were present. who appeared to be deeply interested in the discussion.
 By resolution of MT Miles, a standing vote of thanks was taken for the work and interest of Miss Kennedy of Opeika, during the progress of the Institute. She had been untirinG in her efforts for the success of the Institute. and had been its moving spirit.
 The meeting closed with prayer and a hanpdictinn.

Board of Health. frhis communication asked the Board of Revenue to pay for enough kerosene oil to cover the lake and thus prevent the spread of germs
 The Board of Revenue held that if it had no authority to. take action against the Bloem Fontaine Park authorities. 1t had no authority to spend county money toward killing the germs.
 The Board of Health at q recent meet ing decided that it would better serve the purpose to put kerosene oil on the lake than to break the dam. If the latter method was resorted to the physicians composing the Health Board were of the opinion that the sun rays on the water logged vegetable matter would cause de- composition more rapidly than is the case at present

 A SONG IN THE NIGHT.

The following poem by Mrs. Ockenden is republished by request:
 A SONG IN THE NIGHT. Past midnight, slow the city clock strikes two, The chill air trembles with the siIvern sound; The first-born wall of March sweeps sadly through The trees-then all is still. An hour goes round. Wan grows the moon and white the morning star, Fair wanderers of the night. Lo in the East The faintest blush of light appears afar, On which the lonesome watchers eye may feasti Hark! sweeter far than chimes of distant bells The mocking-b bird in leafy bower stirred. For listening mate his throat now softly swells. Pours forth the sweetest love-song ever heard! A miracle of music thrills the ear, It is no longer lonely, Heaven is near.
