the only member voting no,
The River street question came up
this time with petition of so names or
more requesting that the park enclosure
above the depot be left as it is. John
Gerdes addressed the council on the
matter, asserting that the present situ-
alton injured his business, and suggested
that il park was needed the vacant lot
in front of the Davidson cannery could
be used. This provoked general laughter
In serious vein, Mr.. Gerdes thought
property owners on Oak street had no
right to say what should be done on
River street.
Prather declared that with the depot
steps where they are, foot traffic all
came up Second street and then up Oak, i,
and his business in the lower end Of
town suffered accordingly. If side
walk went around the park and up First
street it would be to his advantage; yet
he was willing to make this sacrifice in
order that the present depot park be
retained by the city.
Councilman Blowers said he had made
a personal investigation and found the
o. r. & N. was very much opposed to
the removal of the park. Station Agent
Quarles showed him telegram from
headquarters which stated that if the
grass plat was destroyed the city Of
Hood River need not ask for further
favors from the railroad.
On motion of P. S. Davidson, the
former action OF the council in ordering
River street opened was rescinded and
the matter delayed indefenitly. 1t was
then suggested that compromise be
arranged with Mr.. Gerdes whereby
side walk could be built leading to his
place of business.
The matter of the road to the boat
landing came up with the report of
Chairman Blowers of the street COM
mittee, and the recorder II ad the fol-
lowing letter from the chief engineer of

THIEVES AND OMENS.


Criminals as "a Rule Are the. Slaves
of Superstition.
Some of the most notorious criminals
who, it would hardly be thought, paid
the slightest attention to omens, good
or bad, have the greatest faith in su-
perstitions of all kinds.
The burglar is a believer in the sig
nlficance of dreams and has been
known to relinquish big burgling feat
If dream the night before has warned
him that he will be in danger should he
disregard the warning If he saw
rainbow he would consider it to pOr-
tend that, however reckless he may be,
he is not likely to fall into, the hands
Of the police for space of three
months Burglars have been known to
carry a donkeys shoe in their pocket
before turning out, believing that this
will protect them from danger, while
others pin their faith to piece of coal,
which they will carry in their pockets
throughout their career and afterward
bequeath it to a confederate.
The pickpocket is equally supersti
tious. 1t is said he will not rob per
son who squints, this being accounted
a sign of disaster, and if it happens
that the purse he robs contains foreign
coins 1t is believed to augur that he
will travel a good deal in the immedi-
ate future, whether in the company Of
a couple of officers or not there is moth
ing to show.
Weddings and funerals are pregnant
with meaning for the professional thief

The question is often anxiously asked
"What about that laundry the Glacier
announced three months ago was to be
started on Paradise farm by Mrs. Ma
SOM" To settle the question the Gla-
cier has sent a special messenger to in
terview DIR. Adams, who was RESPONSE
BILE for the first notice and who highly
indorsed Mrs. Mason as an honorable
and responsible lady. The doctor saws
he has nothing to take back, as Mrs.
Mason, not being able to procure her
machinery in Portland as she expected,
had to send to Chicago for it, and she
expects it to arrive in ten days or less.
Mrs. Mason is now on the GrJund with
workmen engaged in tearing to pieces
and enlarging Percival Adams old ma
chine shop, to be ready for the mach
inery when it arrives. This is ven.
ture which is much needed in our
young and growing city, and it is to be
hoped it will be literally patronized by
our good citizens. The abundance OF
pure spring water afforded the plant,

Some pickpOckets have a favorite
pair of boots that they wear as long as
they can keep them on their feet, and

wearing them they cut the boots up
into little square pieces and give them

Freight Train Every Six Minutes.

Few people have any idea of how the
work in connection with the manage
ment of a great railroad is multiplied
by abnormal weather conditions. Dur
ing the last fifteen days the weather
has been extremely trying for the OPP
Grafton of railroads. The passenger
travel on the New York Central has
been exceedingly heavy, most through
trains being run in sections; and a
large amount of extra power has been
required to keep mail and passenger
trains going. The extreme weather
conditions resulted in some congestion
of freight traffic, but within FIVE days
the New York Central recovered itself
and reached normal condition in
freight operation. There have been
moved recently 1000 cars per day on
the Western division; and on one day
recently out or the Dewitt yard the
freight trains averaged one every six
minutes.
There are moved every day on the
New Y ork Central over $50 passenger
trains, and from -, 200 To $4,000
freight cars, the daily freight move
ment being close to 500 trains.

high license. They forget that that
fact condemns their system, for while
the United States during the last forty
years has increased in population only
l25 per cent, the amount of liquor con-
sumed has increased 1900 per cent for
the official statistics of forty years ago
made per capita consumption of two
gallons. In 1901 the per capita con-
sumption was Is gallons. It will pos
sibly be claimed that this increase has
been within the territory of the prohib-
itory states Think of the magnitude
of the consumption of liquor in the five
prohibitory states to make Is gallons
per capita throughout the country.
But we have some pretty good author
ity, or at least authority which our IL
cense friends ought TO recognize as
good, to the effect that the increase
has not been in the prohibitory states,
hut on the contrary in the license
states l am pleased TO cite to you the
authority of the Brewers Journal of
Chicago in an issue of that journal
during the campaign to overturn the
prohibitory law of Kansas.
They gave a list Of the yearly con
sumation of malt liquors in all Of the
licensed states surrounding Kansas
and in Kansas itself, covering the
period from 1889 to 1899. The two ex-
IRENE years of the table show a change
as fOllOws:-
Bennington banner and reformer. (Bennington, Vt.) 1903-19??, 1903-01-29

Kansas, the only prohibition state
in the list, 1883 bbls decrease, 80 per
cent to 500 per cent increase under IL
cense, % per cent decrease under pro-
hibition.
BY that table the Brewers Journal
demonstrate the ACCESSIBILITY Of the
brewer and the distillers putting in the
amount of money that they did, which
is reliably said TO have been $3.50, OOO)
to defeat prohibition in Kansas, They
did so from a busint IS standpoint OF
course. As have said the per cap
tia consumption for 1901 In the L. 5.
was slightly less than IS gallons,
while the table Of the Brewers Jour
nal, which is behind the scenes and
able to get at the facts, makes out that
Kansas consumes only one gallon per
capita. Applying the Kansas rule OF
per capita consumption of malt liquors
to the entire United States, you will
discover that there would be saving
TO go into the legitimate channels o
trade, so that each man, woman and
child of the United States could there
by have one suit OF clothes, each fam
lily four bbls of -four, or by it we
could pay the national debt in three
years time. 1t thus appears by the
best authority that high license re-
suits in most astonishing increase
of intemperance.
Have we any evidence OF the saving
thus credited to the "black night of

Commissioners Of the state of Massa-
chusetts reveals the fact that the pro-
hibition cities and towns all Jumped
together show arrests for drunkenness
of 9.94 to each !, 900 people, while the
license towns and cities together show
arrests for drunkenness of 1874 to
each 1000 people. How does that
tally with the "black night Of prohib-
ition?" Or the morning light Of high
license?"
Prosperity, does it come with more
rum? Prosperity, does it come with
more crime? Prosperity, does it come
with more poverty? Prosperity, does
it come with more insanity? II not, it
cannot follow in the footprints Of a
high license local option law.
Those who pray invoke Divine aid
that prosperity may come to them per-
sonally and to their beloved state.
Has anyone heard of PRAYER to the
Almighty, asking for the licensed open
saloon? If not, there seems to be a
perilous lack of interest or faith
among the praying people of Vermont
in this benehcient institution. Has
anyone heard Of the fathers or moth
ers of any boys within our border pc
titioning the Throne on High to open
to those boys the doors of the legal
lied saloon, the scenes of which may
appeal to the God given ambition OF
every boy whichever outstrips the
boys judgment to attain and be like
men which leads them to initiate all
his practices, evil as well good. If
not, can you tell me why? can toll
you that. 1t is because the "black
night of prohibition" is like the
morning light" in the presence of
the blacker night of license.

THEY SAW THE SMOKE,
But They Declined to Act Upon the
Warning.

Warning.
Once Vesuyius destroyed two italian
cities in few hours. The people saw the
smoke from the volcano but failed to
escape in time.
Where there is smoke there is fire and
where there are symptoms Of one of the
most dangerous of diseases. A feeling of
languor, a sense of weakness and WEAKNESS,
drowsiness, giddiness and mental discom-
fort. A bad taste in the mouth--the old
"coppery" taste. An offensive breath,
headache, neuralgia, heartburn, a feeling
of dullness and weight in the stomach,
nausea, dry and feverish skin, constipation,
rising of a nasty gas into the throat, tongue
furred like the moss on a tree, irritability,
disgust with food
Have you any of these symptoms?
Either now or sometimes? "Yes,n you say,
"but don't think they are dangerous"
They are signs of danger. They show that
the eruption is coming.
Now what lies at the bottom Of all these
symptoms? Indigestion, dyspepsia, and an
oyerworked liver. There is but one help,
one remedy. Slow up, and for the mis-
chief already done, tone up the digestive
organs and liver with the new medicine,
