CAUSE OF DELAY.
Col. Allen Reports Difficulty Encoun-
tered in Retaining Anacostia Flats.

Colonel Allen, the engineer officer in
charge of the improvement of the Potomac
river, reports to the War Department that
the progress of work in retaining the flats
in the Anacostia river has been delayed by
the difficulty encountered In raising the re-
tanning entertainments, owing to the soft
character of the deposited material. The
work of dredging the trench and building
the entertainments is being done by Sanford
& Brooks, under a contract with the War
Department. The banks, Colonel Allen
says, have been worked over several times
by the dredgers, and are from O.5 to 80
feet above low tide. The last time they
were touched up they could be raised but
little. if any. and Colonel Allen says it will
be necessary to top them off with some
other type of construction before they will
sufficiently exclude tidal water from the
area to be filled. Good progress has been
made in the delivery of rip rap stone for
the wall foundation. Steps have been taken
for the removal of a wreck in the channel

Boy Hunting q Home.

The Anacostia police arrested a small
colored boy named Joseph Jones last night
and held him for his relatives. He was
found wandering about Good Hope looking
for home. His age was given as thir-
teen years when he reached the police sta
ton, and he said he came here from Pitts
burg. The police were told by the boy
that he was brought here from the smoky
city by a woman named Murphy The wo-
man, he said, was recently married and he
was then told that he would have to look
for another home. The boy was unable to
tell In what part of the city he had lived.
All he could tell was that green cars
passed the house. The police sent the boy
to the house of detention and he was after
ward turned over to the board Of children's
guardians.

NOT DRUGS
FOOD DID IT.

After using laxative and cathartic medicines
from childhood Of chronic and apparently
incurable constipation yielded to the scientific
food Grape-Nuts in few days From early
childhood suffered with such terrible constipation
that had to use laxatives continuously going from
one drug to another and suffering more or less all
the time.
"A prominent physician whom consulted told
me the muscles of the digestive organs were par.
tally paralyzed and could not perform their work
without help of some kind, / have tried at
different times about every laxative and cathartic
known, but found no help that was at all perma-
nent / had finally become discouraged and had
given my case up as hopeless when / began to use
the pre-dgested food Grape-Nuts
Although had not expected this food to help
my trouble. to my great surprise Grape-Nuts d.
gested Immediately from the first, and in a few
days was convinced that this was just what my
system needed
The bowels performed their functions regularly,
and am now completely and permanently cured
Of this awful trouble.
Truly the power Of scientific food must be un-
limited Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
There Is a reason.
Healthful desserts just as easy as the bad
kind For further particulars see the little recipe

SCHOOLS AT AN END.
Term to Close and Summer Vacation to
Begin Tomorrow.

The public schools of the District will
close tomorrow. and the pupils will begin
their vacation. which is to continue until
the middle of September. The pupils will
merely gather at their respective schools
tomorrow morning, and no sessions will be
held After brief closing exercises they
will be given their freedom from study and
Rotations. which for the past nine months
have more or less occupied their youthful
minds and the bulk of their time.
The cool weather of the past few months
evidently has been greatly appreciated by
both the pupils and teachers. inasmuch as
they have not been obliged to endure the
extremely hot days of spring cooped up
in the school rooms. The weather has been
more conducive to study than If it had
been unpleasantly warm. and the results
have been gratifying to those in charge
of the pupils instruction.

COUNTY is WILLING TO TRADE
wOuId Exchange Equity I'm Mig Lake
for Park Board Title I'm
Carr X

While the Board Of County Supervisors
refrained from, taking any action yester-
day in the litigation between the Board Of
Park Commissioners and Messrs. Wright
and Mayne over the title to Big lake and
adjoining land, the matter was discussed at
some length. II was suggested by some
Of the supervisors that the county accede
to the request of the park commissioner
and give the city a quitclaim to whatever
interest the county might have in Big
lake on condition hat the city in return
deed to the county the park property known
as Carr lake, situated outside the mu-
nicipal limits in Lewis township. AS II Is
very doubtful IL the county has any interest
at all in Big lake, 1t is considered highly
improbable that the park commissioners
will entertain such a proposition. In the
event OF the park commissioners accepting
such a proposition from the county IL
would doubtless result in further litigation,
as the people Of Council Bluffs, it is said.
would never submit to Carr lake, which is
a popular hunting resort, being decided
away. The consensus Of opinion appears to
be that 1t would be best for the county to
keep it's fingers out of the f\ht and ~llow
the courts to settle the contro Hersy between
the Park board and Messrs. Wright and
Mayne.
The reports of the supervisors for 1902
show the following expenditures for county
bridges during the last twelve months:
