CouneiImen Viii Be Asked to
Tell What They Know of
Lemons Ball Park.

Every member of the city council
will be asked by. the grand jury to tell
what he knows about the alleged
crookedness- attending the passage of
the ordinances permitting George E.
Lemons downtown ball park.
In addition to the members of the
council, George E. Lennon, Vice Presi-
dent Goodrich and General Manager
Held, of the street railway company,
and several members of the late Ia
mented carnival association, will be
asked to keep themselves in readiness
for grand jury call.
In fact, it was reported yesterday
that the jury subpoenas were being
prepared for immediate service, this
being for the purpose Of heading off
any wanted individuals who might re-
gard short sojourn out of the state
preferable to an uncomfortable stunt
in the grand jury room.
Says He Is Through Talking.
Assemblyman Schurmeier, the prin-
cipal in all the charges preferred up
to date, was about the city hall yes
terday, but he declined to talk, saying
that he had told his story and would
have nothing more to say until called
upon by the grand jury. All he is shy
on now is dates and witnesses by
which he hopes to substantiate the
charges he has made. A number of
these We're secured by Mr.. Schurmeier
yesterday.
In the search for choice bits of gos-
sip, city hall loungerS are now engaged
in oYerhauling every deal passed upon
by the council in the past year, but
little new, however, has been obtained.
Aid. Moriarty's name yesterday was
drawn into one story, that involving
the attempt of the American Hoist and
Derrick, company, a West side inStitu-
ton, to secure temporary use of an al
ley, which 1T has already practically
squatted upon.
Moriarty Blocked the Deal.
Aid. Moriarity, who is a mem
Der of the real estate firm of Moriarity
& Garlough, is agent for small lot
adjoining the alley, which belongs to
the Filter estate. Acting for his clients
he vigorously objected and the COM
pany made the statement that his OBJ
jections were actuated by the fact that
it would not buy the lot for $4,000.
When the matter came before the
board the members refused to inter-
fere, telling the company and the
owners to go. away and settle their
differences and then come back. The
board was notified that it could not
give the use of the alley unless all the
abutting lot owners were satisfied
The lot is an Insignificant piece of
ground, but occupies such a strategic
position that the owners have the best
of the argument. The company has
fenced in the alley at both ends. A
portion of Water street has also been
similarly treated S3s@ -sa~s
The one man who can tell the
straight story of the baseball park
deal, outside of the owner, George E.
Lennon, is. former First Assistant
Corporation Attorney Thomas McDer-
mott, but he is maintaining a silence
that nothing will penetrate. Mr.. Nc
Dermott was quite active in securing
the passage of the ball park ordi-
nances, he being Mr.. Lemons at
torney. Just now he is observing the
ethics of his profession and is keeping
quiet.

NOVEMBER WILL HAVE
BUT FEW BRIGHT DAYS

That Is, If 1t Sizes Up Like Novembers
of Other Years.

If the statistics of the weather bu-
reau are to be relied upon, the days of
sunshine are about at an end, for a
time at least. If the coming November
shall prove like the average November
the weather during the next month will
be mostly gloomy.
The statistics in the bureau of the
weather man show that there has been
an average of but seven days of sun
shine in November for. many years
past. The mean temperature has been
80 degrees and the warmest November
came in 1896, When the average was %
degrees. Cold rains and SHOWS are
features of the month in years gone by,
and there is no reason to expect that
the coming month will be an execution.

GOOD ACTIONS.
A DUTY WOMEN OWE THEMSELVES.

uGood actions speak louder than
words,r so too, does the testimony OF
many thousands of women during third
of a century speak louder than mere
claims not backed by a guarantee of
some kind. That is the reason why the
proprietors of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription are willing to offer $500 re-
ward for women who cannot be cured.
Such a remarkable offer Is founded on
the long record of cures of the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women. If
there is an invalid woman, suffering from
female weakness, prolapsus, or falling OF
womb, or from leucorrhea who has used

proprietors and makers of that world
famed medicine would like to hear from
such person-and it will be to her advan-
tage to write them as they offer, in per-
feet good faith, a reward Of $500 for any
case Of the above maladies which they can
not cure. No other medicine for wom-
ans ills is possessed of the unparalleled
curative properties that would warrant
its makers in making such an offer.

The reason DR.. Pieces Favorite Pre-

is because it fits the needs of the wom-

for DR.. K. V. Pierce, many years ago,
used this prescription IN his large prac-
tice in all those cases where his women
patients were rundown, nervous or suf-
fering from considerable pain at stated
periods. due to irregularity or diseases of
