Why She Mays.

A physician expresses the opinion that
nine times out of ten the woman who
nags is tired One time out of ten she
is hateful. Times out of mind her hus
band is to blame. The cases that come
under the PHYSICIANS eye are those of
the women who are tired, and who have
been tired so long they are suffering
from some form of nervous disease
They think they are only tired, but in
fact, they are i'll. In such cases the
woman often suffers more from her
nagging than her husband or the chill
dren with whom she finds fault. She
knows she does it.: she does not intend
to do it; she suffers in her own self
respect when she does it. and in the
depth of her soul longs for something to
stop it.
The condition is usually brought on
by bru ken sIeep, improper food, want
of some other exercise than housekeep-
ing, and enough outdoor air ara prac-
teal objective thinking. 1t is often the
most upseltsh and most atie' tlol ate Cf

''PAT' HILL
GETS IN BAD.
Member of the Columbia Ball Team
Arrested Charged With Trying
to Beat Board Bill, and Larceny
of SOS.

"Pat" Hill, the all round ball player,
who has been member of Manager
Wilkins team since the season opened
was arrested Thursday afternoon on a
warrant sworn out by Mr.. r. B. Polk,
proprietor Of the Guest House, charg-
ing him with an attempt to skip his
board bill and larceny OF $65, which was
stolen from the vest pocket of travel
ing man named Walter Mayes on May
l6. Mayes had left his vest in his room
and had gone out in town to sell Gus
toner bill of goods.
The only evidence against Hill seems
to be that of two negro women servants
at the hotel who say they saw Hill
going out of Mayes' room. These SER
wants, however, were themselves ar
rested by the police on the day the theft
was committed, taken to the city Jail
and kept in prison several hours, dur
ing which time they were ''sweated,"
and an effort made to get them to con-
fess. They then swore, so it is stated,
that they did not know anything at all
about the theft and did not see anyone
about the room.
Hill was arrested at the depot as he
was about to take the train for Nash
Vile, though he claims he was not try
ing to skip the town. He says he was
leaving his clothes here, that he had
not drawn his salary from Manager
Wilkins and was only going up to
Nashville to spend the night
He was taken before Esq. F. Fl.
Smith, who bound him over to await
the action Of the grand jury, viii, h
meets Monday, in sum of $500. Being
unable to make the bond, Hill was sent
to Jail, where he is now languishlng
Hill blew in here about four weeks
ago from nobody knows where. 1t has
been said that "Hill" is not hi, real
name and is only assumed. He has
played ball all over the country. At
one time he was in the professional
class, playing with the Detroit League
team about five years ago,
His brother came In Thursday night
and visited him at the city prison. He
is prize fighter.

| that as Judge Erwin was now at work
on his semi annual report, showing the
city's financial status, and IL would
soon be ready to be made public, that
4 the petition be passed over for the
/ present. This was seconded by Capt.
| White.
Judge Erwin suggested that the pc
tition be received. He said there was
a law directing that the clty's financial
condition be shown every six months
In a public statement by the recorder,
and that he was now engaged In pre-
pairing such a statement, Which would
be ready in few days. He suggested
that the petitionlng citizens be asked
TO select a committee 10 meet him and
90 over the report with him and see II
1t was correct. Someone suggested that
the citizens wanted fuller statement
than this semi annual statement would
be, and Judge Erwin said he would go
with the committee Just as far as IL
wanted to go, item by item, If 1T de-
sired. through the city books for
twenty five years.
Accordingly, motion was maze ana
carried. to the effect that the petition-
ing citizens be asked to appoin at com
mlttee to meet Judge Erwin on next
Thursday, June IL, and go over his
report with him and that the commit
tee be invited to attend the next meet
ing of the Board and make report OF
their Investigations. Alderman Tit
comb suggested that the board add Mr..
F. D. Lander to the committee to be
appointed by the citizens.
The petition was as follows:
ITO the Honorable Board of Mayor

ing fund account, and submit the same
to committee of citizens to meet in
with your honorable body.
This request is made purely for
business reasons and for what we
believe to be the best interest OF the
city, and we do not wish the same to
be construed as meaning that we have

JOln w. frlofSOn.
A travelling representive of a road
crusner manufacturing concern ap-
peared before the board and wanted to
sell the board a road crusher. After
some discussion of the matter, it was
referred to the street committee.
Alderman T. E. Lipscomb, chairman
OF that committee, said the Board
ought to get the advice Of Mr.. F. D.
Lander as to whether the city could
AFFORD to buy the crusher. From the
great "hullabaloo' he was raising in
his paper the Herald, the city had
been plunged hopelessly in debt, and
he was not III favor of buying any
thing unless Mr.. Lander first ratified
it. Alderman Digger said that ii the
city was as much in debt as Mr..
Lander said it was, he thought 1t
wouldn't hurt it If it went little
further IN.
Judge Erwin said he thought dis
cusslon of the Herald had no business
before the city council; that Mr..
Lander was running his paper In his
own way, as it suited him, and that
the city council was running Its bust
ness. Here the matter ended, the road
crusher proposition going to the street
committee.
The City Grain & Feed Co., asked
that police powers be conferred on
their night Waterman, Mr.. Turner.
The request was granted
The street committee asked for and
was allowed $500.
