Immediately after the fual ad-
iournment Of the old council, the
new members took their seats, and
the new council proce eaded into
executive session, with Clerk Klrt-
land at the desk, for the purpo e OF
filling the minor Offices for the
ensuing year. But two changes
were made. Mr.. Guyton refused
to accept the position of Water
Commissioner, and his place was
filled by the election of Mr.. G. O.
Cutler. There was quite a spirited
contest for tor this position. 1t did
not commence until late In the
afternoon yesterday, but from that
time until the doors closed upon
the workers and manipulators and
wire pullers for the two contest
ants, 1t looked considerably like the
days before the election. But one
ballot decided the matter In Mr..
Cutters favor.
For city attorney there were sew,
eral aspirants, the position being
won by P. A. Shanor, Esq on the
second ballot.
The police force remains uu-
changed, as we'll as the street com :
missioner and the janitor of city
property. For health officer, Dr..
V. H. Dye was the fortunate man.
The election was harmonious, al
though In some respects animated,
and shortly before eleven o'clock
the new council emerged from their
secret session, announcing the
lucky ones and pleased with the
fact that the new city government
was fully organized and ready for
another twelve months of good
work.
G. o. Cutler, who succeeds Mr..
Guyton at the head of the water
department, IS we'll known In the
city, and Is one of the most thorough
and efficient officials we have ever
had. His public life has been
somewhat limited, being largely
confined to the position he now
occupies, but In the discharge of the
duties of that position. frequently
trying, difficult and disagreeable, he
has demonstrated the fact that In
public matters he can always be re-
lied upon to do his whole duty with.
out fear or favor, and that In the most
minute detail he Is thorough and
capable. He follows probably the
best water commissioner the city
has ever had, a hard record to beat,
but he can be relied upon to do his
utmost, and with the excellent con-
ditton In which he finds the depart
ment will keep Its high standard to
the entire satisfaction.
Mr.. P. A. Shanor succeeds F. D.
Young, Esq, as city attorney.
Mr.. Shanor Is competent to dis
charge the duties of his Office aud

A Very Low
Wage Scale
For Labor

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 30
Pietro Cuneo, the Ohio editor who is
serving as United States consul at
Turin, Italy, has been making some in
quiries as to wages over there. He
writes to the state department: "See-
ing some men and boys carrying brick
and stones in baskets on their shout
ders, with no further protection than
their shirts, up four stories to the ma
sons and bricklayers, and noting how
hard they worked, l asked a well-in-
formed person how much they receiv-
ed per day. He gave me the following
general trade figures as those prevail
ing in Turin: Laborers, boys 20 to 80
cents, men 40 to SO cents; bricklayers,
so cents to 81; stoneeutters and car
penters, go to 20 cents; painters and
frescoers, 40 to so cents: experts. 60
to IS cents; laborers in the employ Of
the city, 40 to 60 cents.

you WILL BE ALL SMILES AGAIN
Forget Your Stomach and You'll Have
q Santa Claus Face.
HOW TO DO IT.

If there is one thing more than all
others that will give a man forlorn
and friendless appearance and make
him morbid and cranky and dis
agreeable, that thing is dyspepsia. 1t
makes one forget his friends and be-
come morose and irritable. He is so
wrapped up in his own misery that
he is inconsiderate of every one else.
Relieved Of this terrible and depress-
ing ailment he again becomes a good
fellow and a man among men.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are be-
You'd question the most effective and
popular remedy ever offered to the
sufferers of this terrible disease The
thousands and thousands of cures
they have brought about and the
enormous increase of their sales fully
attest the truth of this statement.
They are. above all, a natural rem
edy. They possess exactly the same
properties that the gastric juices and
other digestive fluids of the stomach
possess and they actually do the d.
gestive work of the stomach and en-
able that organ to rest and recuper-
ate and become sound and well. They
act in a mild. natural manner and
cause no disturbance in the digestive
organs. They prevent any fermenta-
tion of the food which causes sour
stomach. In fact, under their in
fluence the subject forgets that he
has a stomach and his resulting
cbeerfulness presents a great con-
trast to his former detection.
Millions of boxes of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets are sold annually and
they are but in the dawn of their
popularity. Every mail brings letters
of thanksgiving from grateful ones
who have been cured of this terrible
disease The following is one of hum
dreds received each week:
Rev. ]. r. Hoag of Wymore, Neb..
writes: For six years l have been

THIS SAINTS Bones
COMMAND HIGH PRICE

ROME, Dec. 30.-General Bagdano-
witch, a Russian general of good family,
has offered the sum of 100000 francs
for the remains of st. Nicholas. the
famous saint who is worshipped at Bari
in the south of Italy.
The reason for this enormous bid
lies in the fact that St. Nicholas is
the saint who is most venerated in
Russia by all truly orthodox Russians.
The bones of st. Nicholas are supposed
to rest in the Church of st. Nicholas
at Bari, in Apulia, but Venetians de
clare that Venice holds the sacred rel
les, and not Bari. Be this as it may,
thousands of Russians visit Bari IN
order there to worship at the shrine
of their beloved saint.
1t was at the Church of St. Nicholas
too, at Bari, that the present queen
, Elena of Italy, changed over from
her original Greek orthodox faith tc
! the Roman Catholic religion on been
ing betrothed to the then prince O
Naples, now king of Italy. The roya
marriage, too, was solemnized by the
chapter of the Metropolitan of Bari III
October "a, 1896.
The famous sanctuary Of st. Nichola
at Bari was visited by the presen
car of Russia in 1892 when he wa
+, yet only heir to the Russian throne
on his return from his travels in tn
far east; he was accompanied at tn
: time by his cousin, Nicholas of Greece
The visit was paid by both of them il
, the very strictest incognito in view O
the fact that the aim and object o
the visit was essentially religious AM
deyout and in no sense political.

Skinner
IS wonder

WASHINGTON, d. c., edo. 3d.
Foreigners seem disposed to follow the
lead of the United States in making a
bid for the trade of Abyssinia. In a
report to the state department, Con-
sui Hanauer, at Frankfort, Germany,
says that Consul General SINNERS
mission to King Menelk is much dis
cussed by the German and Austrian
press and it is watched with solicitude
by Europeans generally. Germany and
Austrian commercial bodies recommend
the establishment of steamship lines to
Djibouti for the purpose of getting
a share of the Abyssininian trade, now
controlled by the French and English.
These organizations believe the coun-
try promises a large field for Euro
pean goods.

The fountain of st. Nicholas at Bari
contains, it is alleged, miraculous water
which is eagerly sent for by persons
when dying or in very i'll health. Prince
Ferdinand of Bourbon sent for some of
this celebrated water when he was

MCCORMICK SAYS IT'S GONE.
PopuIist Party Now Thing of the
Past.

N. B. Mccormick, of Phil1ipsburg,
former fusion congressman from the
Sixth district, says that the Populi5t
party is a thing of the past. Mr.. Nc
Cormick was a Democsat before the
rise of the Populists and he has now
returned to that party He says that
many old Populists will support Roose-
welt for president, but he believes that
Congressman Reeder will be defeated
at the polls next year.
81 do not believe there will ever be
another Populist state convention"
said Mr.. Mccormick in discussing poll
tics. 1.-THE Populists have passed away
and have had their chance at govern
ment. 1 am affiliating with the DEM
ocrats. The Populist party in Kansas
is about dead, except in a few places.
1t is kept. alive in Smith county in the
Sixth district by the Dykes brothers,
who want it for trading purposes
"A great many of the old-time Pop
ulists are going to the Republican
party, or, rather, are going to the sup
port of the Roosevelt Republicans.
They do not like the Republican party,
but they like Roosevelt and are willing
to see him reelected. One reason they
admire him is because they see that the
trusts hate him. I am for Hearst for
president. I believe he would reunite
the Democrats.
ct expect to see w. A. Reeder beaten
at the polls in the Sixth district next
year. He never has carried Phillips
county. He is unpopular among his
neighbcrs and as he becomes better
known throughout the district he is
becoming more unpopular. If the Dem
ocrats had nominated any one of a
dozen candidates against him last year
instead of Judge Cole of PhiIlipsburg,
Reeder would not have been returned
to congress. Cole was too little known
and could not go out and make a good
campaign. He is popular at home and
would be popular among the voters OF
the district if he were better known.
If the Democrats will nominate r. w.
Turner of Mankato next year they can
defeat Reeder. I understand Turner
wants the nomination and I do not look
for very much opposition to him.

a system of health records which will
be of some real value to the communi-
ty- BY inspecting the reports issued by
other cities the committee can easily
determine what kind of statistics have
been found important. The man who
holds the job of sanitary sergeant or
office clerk has nothing much to do,
and he might as well employ his vol
luminous leisure keeping records as
anything else.
sicians and others to make reports are
not properly drawn, they should be
changed. 1t is likely, however, that
lax enforcement and general neglect of
a large portion of the inaccurate rec
ords.
There are six principal ordinances
regulating the health department and
food inspector. They are as follows:
Ordinance No. 2187, passed November
IA, 1900, establishing quarantine rules
and regulations.
Ordinance No. 21s8, passed November
IA, 1900, requiring reports of births and
deaths.
Ordinance No 21sO, passed November
A. 1900 to prevent introduction and
spread of contagious disease.
Ordinance No. 1920, passed July 8.
1898, providing for the appointment of
city physician and board of health, and
prescribing their duties.
20. 1898, providing for inspection of milk
and dairies.
Ordinance No. 2196, passed December
6, 1900 requiring city physician to at
tend fremen and policemen free.
There are numerous other ordinances
relating to garbage, dumping refuse
and kindred subjects. But ordinance
No. 1920 is the one which is likely to be
the subject of especial consideration.
This ordinance should among other
things set forth fully and completely
the way in which the health depart
ment records shall be kept, and should
provide that these records shall be open
to the inspection of the public. This
will set at rest any further controversy
with people like DR.. Storrs who try to
suppress what is going on in the city
departments. It is all public business,
and the public is entitled to know ex-
actly the truth.
DR.. Ryder said today: IT do not know
whether the committee will try to en-
body all the old ordinances in one or
dinance, or whether the old ordinances
will simply be modified and amended as
the occasion seems to demand"

TROOPS RECALLED.
They Have Been In Breathitt
County, n.y., Since May.

Lexington, KY, Dec. 3.-Troops ar
rived here today from Jackson, KY,
under orders of withdrawal by Cover
nor Beckhan, after being on duty there
as provost guards since the feud trou-
BILE began there last May. Many sem
sational charges are made as to the
situation in Breathitt county. The most
serious is that a letter purporting to be
from Judge Redwine to Beckham ask
ing for the withdrawal of soldiers is a
forgery for the purpose of getting
troops away in order to start the feuds
again.
Another is that an attempt was made
on John Hargis life by a man thrust
ing a pistol in his face. Soldiers fear
trouble will be renewed.
