MAJ. GLEASON PRESENTED
HANDSOME SWORD
BY Ohhcers and Members of the
Irish Jasper Greens.


Maj. P. F. Gleason, former captain
of the Irish Jasper Greens was pre-
sented with a sword by the members
of his old command in the company's
room in the regimental armory short
ly after drill last night. The sword,
which is a very handsome one, en-
graved, and bearing ornaments of
gold. was presented by the officers and
members Of the company as a mark of
their appreciation of the invaluable
service which Maj. Gleason has rem
derd the command, and as a token of
the high regard in which he is held.
The presentation was made by Lieut..
Hohenstein, in behalf of the officers
and men. Maj. Gleason had no init
nation of the intention of the men
to present him with the sword, and
was surprised when, earlier in the
evening, he was requested by Capt.
elect Mccarthy not to come into the
company room until after the battal-
ion drill. In presenting the sword to
Maj. Gleason, Lieut.. Hohenstein brief
ly reviewed Maj. Gleason's service
with the company speaking in the
highest praise of the spirit of sacrifice,
induced by his love for the old COM
mand, which had caused Mai Gleason
for so long to decline higher military
honors, and of the appreciation of his
invaluable service to the command in
the past.
Maj. Gleason was very much moved,
and it took several minutes for him to
regain his compoSure. He said that it
frequently happens in life that some
kind act of a fellow man so unnerves
one as to render him unable by word of
mouth to give expression to the feel
ings of the heart. Such. he said, were
his feelings, and he would have to con-
tent himself with thanking the men
with all his heart. He said that his
heart expanded with JOY at every new
success of the Greens, and that he
would ever work for the success of his
old command

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for a single bottle of medicine, and yet
n YOU consider the matter rightly, 1t
is a very cheap price for bottle Of
Johnsons Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses it half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a had attack of grip.
300 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for so
cents a bottle.
Don't buy it from substitutors. Your
health and happiness is your business,
and making money out of you is their
business.
Buy the honest Johnson's Tonic. Take
no counterfeit or substituted.

MAYOR TAKES ACTION.
Throwing of Paper on the Streets
Must Stop.

Impressed with the editorial in the
Morning News yesterday on street adj
vertising, Mayor Myers has called the
attention of the superintendent of po-
lice to a city ordinance prohibiting the
scattering of paper on the streets.
Later the uniformed men had their
attention called to the ordinance by
their chief. and the throwing of paper
on the streets, and in front yards, must
stop. The ordinance covers adverts-
ing dodgers, and the only way in which
they can be circulated is by having
them put under the doors of residences.
Tossing circulars in front yards for
the wind to come along later and scat
ter them on the streets won't do, and
those who distribute dodgers in this
manner had better be careful how they
act in the future. Mayor Myers also
wants the ordinance against expecto-
rating on sidewalks enforced The
fight against chickens running at large
is also still on, and the police will be
kept busy for some weeks to come
