HIGHER PRICES.
Have Prevailed Generally in the Stock
Market This Week.

New York, Oct. 1.-The stock mar

have been confirmed, but they served
to hold prices Of the stocks affected

favorable to maturing crops and the
money market has continued easy in

change has fostered a confidence that
relief could be had from stringency

PEOPLE WHO ENJOY

Nine Persons Out of Ten Have Kidney
TroubIe-Warner's Safe Cure Is

There are thousands of men and women

They evidently enjoy being sick and
subject to sudden death, because they
don't or won't even take the trouble to
find out what's the matter with them.
Some of them don't suffer enough-they
think it's nothing much and will wear
off of itself" Kidney disease never cures
itself.
others have doctored so much and are
so completely discouraged that they have
made up their minds there is no hope for
them anyway; the doctor has told them
they must die, and at last they believe
him.

MUST HEED THE LAW.
City Teamsters Can't Ignore Wide Tire
Ordinance.

Some of the teamsters employed by
the city have raised a delicate point
of law for the street commissioner to
settle. They want to know whether
they are liable to fine for violating
the wide tire ordinance if they, work
ing under instructions from the street
commissioner, load more than 1000
pounds onto their narrow tired wagons.
Street Commissioner Snyder says:
''The men who work for the city are
just the same as any other teamSterS,
so far as the wide tire ordinance is
concerned. If I instruct a man to put
on a load of rock weighing more than
the limit for narrow tired wagons, and
that man is arrested, it is not my look
out. 1t is his business to provide him.
self with a wide tired wagon. 1 am
not supposed to protect man from
arrest simply because he is working
for the city. The men who work for
the city will have to haul full loads as
long as 1 am street commissioner, and
If they want to take the risk of haul
ing more than 1000 pounds on mar
row tired wagons, it is not my busi-
ness.
THE law as it stands is plain
enough, and its purpose is to bring
about the general use of wide tired
wagons. OF course if a man has
small team that can't pull more than
1000 pounds, he may be able to get
along with the narrow tires, but 1 do
not intend to hire any teams for city
work which are too small to haul big
loads. For hauling tin cans, etc, out
of alleys, sometimes hire small teams,
because they can't get more than a
thousand pounds onto their wagons.
But as general proposition
teams that work for the city must be
right UP to the mark. We must get
the same work out of our teams that
other persons or corporations do
The firm stand which Street Com
missioner Snyder has taken will prob
ably result in a speedy exchange of

men have been of the opinion that
they would simply wait until arrested,

WashbuFn Football Team Playing

This morning the Washburn foot

K U. seems to indicate.

certainly looks good. He will not be
in the game today, but when he gets
into training some great work may
be expected from him. He is a giant
