Notice to Gas and water consumers

Netice to Gas and Water consumers.
1t is the custom of all Gas and
Water Companies to have signed
contract or application from the
Consumer. This custom has been
neglected in the past by this Com
pany, but the business has grown
so fast that it is au absolute neces-
sity to have some sort of a record
Of the patrons of the Company.
Therefore, during the month of No
vember, an inspection Of the houses
will be made and an application
will be presented by an agent of the
Company for the signature of each
consumer
These applications are the same
as are in use by nearly all other Gas
and Water Companies and containiy
nothing that is contrary to the rules
and regulations of the Company now

Intellect and Hair.

"From the color Of mans hair may
be learned good deal in regard to his
intellectual ability" says professor Of
the University Of Lille who has for
some months been closely studying the
subject. Schoolboys with chestnut hair,
he maintains are likely to be more clev-
er than any other and will generally be
found at the head Of the class, and in
like manner girls with fair hair are
likely to be far more studious and
bright than girls with dark hair. In
mathematics and recitation these boys
and girls, he claims, specially excel. On
the other hand, he says that boys and
girls with brown hair are most likely to
attain distinction through their indi-
viduality and style and that those with
red or auburn, hair do not often excel
in any respect. ..& -.

There. were $1,000 pounds Of the pro-

there were eight or nine renovated
butter factories in the state when the
law went into effect, only one manu-
featured any Of the butter during July
Another factory took up the making
of the butter in August, and the out

FIRE IN ASSAY OFFICE.
Nitric Acid Used In Tests Sets Fire to
Flue-Damage Comparatively
Slight.

New York, Feb. 2.-Fire broke out
Saturday in laboratory on the sec
ond floor of the United States assay
office, which is next door to the sub
treasury, and destroyed a portion Of
the roof and upper story and some of
the apparatus. Chief Assayer Torrey
said the loss on the apparatus prob
ably would not exceed $4,000 and that
the loss on the building would be nom
inal. He thought the business of the
assay Office, which amounted. to about
rs assays a day, would not be inter
rupted longer than three or four days.
Mr.. Torrey believed that nitric acid,
which is used in testing bullion, was
the cause of the fire. He said it might
have eaten into the wooden fue which
leads from the glass basins where the
gold and silver bars are melted and
subjected to chemical action.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. The.
open session Of the miners and oper-
ators' joint wage conference did not
open Saturday morning until almost
ten o'clock. Though it was generally
understood that the scale committee,
which went into executive closed ses-
sion Friday, would have no report to
make Saturday morning. almost all of
the 700 miners and delegates who are
being held here to ratify a settlement
were present.
The scale committee, however, did
have formal report to make, setting
forth the selection of w. 81. Haskins,
of Ohio, as chairman; S. G. Scriggs, OF
Chicago, secretary, and Frank Brooks,
secretary Of the Ohio de1eg alton, as
zsistant secretary.
. The report showed that on the pre-
liminary vote in executive session Fri
day the operators voted unanimously
not to grant the increase in wages or
changes in standards Of mining that
were demanded by the miners. All
demands adopted by the miners were
voted on separately.

Most of us have heard this ex-

Did you ever notice that the
Don't know how I got it cold
is a bad one to get overt That
before you are through with the
hoarseness, the cough, the "tight
feeling" the general discomfort,
and the out of sorts sensations,
you are apt to have another such
cold, and so on until it hangs on
for weeks? 49,
These colds mean that your sys-
tenn is out of gear. They usually
precede serious diseases like con-
sumption, bronchitis. They are
dangerous.
We have found a remedy for all
sorts of colds, coughs, that is not
a so-called cough-cure. It does
not stupefy with opium, nor fill
the system with vicious drugs.
1t is Vinol. We are perfectly
willing to tell any inquirers at our
store what it is made of and how
we came to take hold of it.
It certainly does the work. Old
coughs go off like magic. It even
relieves people far gone in con-

have proved it. We sell it subject

doesn't help you. Isn't it foolish

DUTCH GAP CANAL.

Negotiations arc In progress between
the Federal government and Richmond
city looking to the latter's acquiring and
oeding TO the former two or three acres
OF land on the north bank OF the Dutch
Gap Canal. with the view of improving
the usefulness OF that water way.
The right OF way for the canal was
purchased by the city and was by 1t
decided to the United States. And the city
contracted with the vendor. Henry Cox.
Esq. that It should have as much add
iional land as might be required for
canal purposes at 500 peracre, That ad-
Gitional land is now needed in order TO
make provision for the sloughing OF the
banks of the canal and to improve the
western approach. so that vessels coming
down the river may be the better seen
by vessels in the canal.
Practically speaking, the government
makes the cession of the additional land
