( HOT TINES AT CITY HALL
Mayor White Threatens to Have Alder
men Elected From the Hall

The negress who predicted cloud
burst for the 29th made mistake in
the date 1t came last night and it's
force was concentrated within the
council chamber, and the hour was
8 o'clock sharp.
Last night was the night for the
regular meeting of the city council.
At o'clock, the hour for the council
to convene, only four of the aldermen
were present-Weil, Meyer, Clement
and Boyce-which was not quorum,
and Mayor White declared the coun-
Gil adjourned until the next regular
meeting on the first Monday night in
June.
The mayor started to leave the hall,
when Aldermen Fred Fox came into
Charles We'll arose and asked the
mayor if he would not reconsider his
action and again call the council to
order The mayor very emphatically
stated that he would not Mr.. We'll
then began telling how much he
thought of the mayor, and among 9TH
er things said that the mayor was try
ing to bulldoze the council, and that
he was one of the eight aldermen who
would not stand any such proceedings.
Then Mr.. Fox arose and said: "May-
or White, missed car and was COM
PEELED to walk all the way. and living
quite a distance, could not get here
any sooner, and I hope you will par
don me this time and open the meet
ing
The mayor said that the council
could not hold legal meeting, as
the meeting had been called and adj
journed, and nothing but a special
meeting could be held, and that if the
aldermen who wanted a meeting
knew enough law to proceed legally,
to go ahead.
Alderman Gabe Meyer also very
sharply criticised the mayor. Alder
man Nichols then arrived. Alderman
We'll arose and, addressing the clerk,
made a motion to elect mayor pro
tem Alderman Fox seconded the mo-
tion and it carried unanimously by
those present, and Alderman Fox was
elected mayor pro tenn. Mr.. Fox took
the chair and asked the clerk to cal!
the roll and read the minutes of the
previous meeting.
Mayor White stopped the clerk, call
ed Chief Culpepper to his side and
said to the council that if he was COM
PEELED to use force he would do so
to prevent an illegal meeting. Mr..
We'll again took the floor He stated
that the mayor did not know much
and that he wanted to know whether
or not the clerk would read the min.
utes. Clerk Johnson said he would
not; that he did not wish to get hurt
and would not start a rough house.
Mayor Pro TEN. Fox then stated that
as long as the mayor was present he
would like to see Mayor White con-
tinue the meeting; that he had no dis
position to run anything over the may
or.
Alderman Meyer started to leave
the hall, but Alderman We'll mOtioned
him to seat, saying, amid confusion,

Right words and shrewd, good vii
liam Penn,
shall not pass this way again.
My long way and the winding track
Which | pursue will not bend back.
Mayhap it stretches very far,
Mayhap it winds from star to star;
Mayhap through worlds yet uniformed
Its never-ending journey runs,
Through worlds that now are whirlinp
wraiths
OF formless mists between the suns
go-beyond my widest ken
But shall not pass this way again.
So, as go and cannot stay,
And never more shall pass this way,
/ hope to SOW the way with deeds
Whose seed shall bloom like May-time
meads,
And food my onward path with words
That thrill the air like singing birds
That other travellers following on
May find CLEAN and not gloom,
May find their path pleasant way,
Atrail of music and of bloom.
Strew gladness on the paths of men
You will not pass this way again.

Farmers in many sections of the
country are beginning to face the usual
serious proposition of a scarcity of
help in the cultivating and harvesting
of their crops. Notwithstanding ad-
vertisements are run in the city papers
daily asking for hired help, the de-
mand is twice the supply. Men who
are idle in the city seem to have no de-
sire to go to the farms for work, re-
gardless of the fact that a good home,
plenty to eat and reasonable pay
awaits them. And majority of peo-
pie lose sight of the principal reason
for this state of affairs. The fault to a
great extent lies with the young farm
ers themselves. As rule as soon as
they attain their majority the first
thing they think of is to rush to the
cities, where, in the minds of many of
them, money is plentiful and gay
life awaits them. This reduces the
force on the farms and in itself pre-
vents young men from the overcrowd-
ed cities seeking homes in the country
1t is hardly to be expected that men
from the cities will take kindly to farm
life when young men who have been
reared as farmers rush off to the cities.
The remedy lies with us. Let us make
our home life desirable to our young
men. Encourage them in their work
and offer them every inducement pos
sible. The labor of a son is far more
profitable to the sire than the labor of
inexperienced men from city. And
our young men have a better oppor-
tunity of making name by remaining
at home and using industry and thrift
than they have in rushing off to the
city and becoming a nonentity in a
place where there are ten men for ev-
cry opening. The farm is the best
place after all.

Our British cousins are said to be
slow-witted, but they sometimes hit on
a good idea, as, for example, the house
cleaning device invented by London.
er and described by Consul Mahin OF
Nottingham in a recent report to the
State department The device consists
essentially of an air pump which will
pump air at n rapid rate through tube
fiattened at the movable end. The
opening at the end of the tube is, in
fact, long, narrow slit. When it is
rubbed over the carpet or up and down
the cloth covering of settees or chairs
it quickly sucks out all the dust, ex-
tracing it not only from the surface
but also from the body of the sub
stance and from underneath 1.-THE
underfelt being thus cleaned. Not a
particle of dust can be detected if the
carpet is then beaten. No dust is
then in a room; all is sucked through
the hose into a filter. In similar
way walls may be cleaned of dust, the
cleaner being a brush of horseshoe
shape, with an exhaust tube in the CEN
ter. The machine may be on wheels
or stationary.

mo man with any regard for his
reputation for sense and Judgment" :"
said Col. Henry Watterson in an inter
view recently, "would commit himself
to any prediction of a presidential
nomination twelve months in advance
of the event" There is some truth in
this as regards the Democratic party,
but it strikes us as rather sweeping
when applied to the Republicans at
this time. Colonel Watterson is cor
rect as regards the Democratic nomi-
nation, but there are few men but will
concede that Roosevelt has cinch on
the Republican nomination. In fact,
it is more than likely that there will
be no opposition to him when the con-
vention meets. 1t is a well known
fact the trusts will do all in their pow
er to defeat him, but the rank and file
of the party will unquestionably carry
the day. If the Democrats nominate
a man like Cleveland, or Olney, there
will be genuine battle of the giants
at the next election, but we are inclin-
ed to believe that Mr.. Cleveland will
not be the Democratic standard bearer.

1t seems impossible for us to eradi-
cate the tramp. The "hobo," like the
poor, we in America seem always to
have with us. No matter whether
times are good or bad the tramp is al
ways tramping, or riding on bumpers
of freight cars, and looking for free
living. The impression formerly pre-
vailed that hard times made tramps,
and that prosperity cured the country
of the affiiction, but as the New York
Mail and Express remarks, ''it is now
well admitted thing that prosperity
is unable to cure the tramp evil, and
hard times make the evil worse.n The
cities, especially the big cities with
their heterogeneous population, are
the whirlpool rapids that in summer
shoot out upon the rural communities
hundreds of lazy, shiftless and vicious
men, who do not even live by their
wits, but are simply parasites upon
those who toll for daily bread. The
only remedy for this evil is to stop
feeding the hobos. If an unfortunate
asks you for meal and is willing to
work for it, charity should prompt
you to give it to him. If he is not
willing to work, the best thing you
can do is to set the dog on him.
Tramps are not in love with dogs.

Much Sickness Predicted This Fall
Early Precautions Should
BE Taken.

Our seasons nowadays seem to be
all mixed up, remarked Times Re
corder reporter the other day to MIR. j.
1t. Dodson of Dodson's Pharmacy,
1.-The winter seems to have tumbled
into summer and summer into winter.
1t is stated by health authorities that
such sudden changes cannot help bat
result in early fall colds, the grippe
and other sickness. This condition of
things is also bad for old people, or
those who are run down or have tend
encV to any weakness CT disease"
"You are right" said Mr.. Dodson,
''the weather indications all point to a
cold, wet and generally unhealthy fall,
and people are warned to take extra
precautions to ward off sickness, es-
peciaHy the old, and those who are al.
ready in delicate health.
Ii we could only meet every person
in this city face to face and tell them
what grand protection to health Vinol
is. We know we could convince them
so we would not have clerks enough IN
our store to fill their orders. You see,
we have been selling Vinol for several
years, and every bottle is sold on q
positive guarantee that if it does not
do as we say, We Will pay back the
money, ADD as we have not been asked
TO refund for more than two bottles out
of every hundred sold. this proves that
Vinol is successful in ninety -eig hit cases
out of every hundred.
We never sold a medicine that is so
universally successful; and yet this Is
not strange, for Vinol is the only prep
aration of cod liver oil which does not
contain oil, or any disagreeable fea
ture, yet does contain every one of the
fifty odd medicinal curatives that are
found in cod liver oil.
If you know of any one who needs
the grandest, surest, most pleasant
tonic rebuilder of strength, one that
will positively cure chronic colds,
coughs, bronchitis, strengthen the old,
build up the weak and run down and
make rich. red blood, and health in
place of pallor and weakness, just send
them in here for bottle of VInol, and
if it does not do them good it won't cost

Oats.

AS for wheat, so also for oats the
depth and then well pulverized, for a
good seed bed is necessary In order to
produce the best results with even sc
hardy grain as oats. It is bettes
that the soil should be dry and mel
low when they are sown.
In moist season oats will do very
well on a sandy soil, but the best
yields, as a general rule, are made
on fine clay loan, with good drain
age.
When the seed bed has been well
prepared and leveled, the oats may be
sown broadcast, or put in with drill
The latter method is probably better
since when they are drilled in they
are in sort of trough, and when a
freeze comes, the earth is not drawn
away from the roots, as the ground
rises with the freeze and settles with
the thaws, but is thrown around them
THIS prevents the crop from being in
jured by freeze.
The winter oat Is generally sown In
