bad SIDEW ALKS
CAUSE TROUBLE
Board of Works Hits Upon
Plan to Compel Property
Owners to Improve Them
WORK Is TO BE ORDERED
Resolutions of Intention
Will Be Adopted and Then
All Protests Overruled

Additional complaints were filed yes
terday with the Board of Works rela-
tive to the dangerous conditions of sew
eral sidewalks. Ii. Bohls complained
that the sidewalk on Fremont street.
between Howard and Folsom, was
constant menace to life and limb and
had injured several persons. He asked
that the sidewalk be fenced In.
Deputy A. j. Donovan ascertained
that the street described had not been
accepted by the city and the property
owners are liable for the Improvement,
80 a resolution of expediency was
adopted for the laying of new side
walks on the block.
Il am in favor of making a test case
in court of the arbitrary action of the
Supervisors in making appropriations
for specific purposes said Commits
sioner Maestretti, so that the money
cannot be used for necessary repairs
to accepted streets, despite the fact
that the commissioners are held per-
sonally liable for accidents"
Later Maestretti and Donovan held
a consultat ton and hit upon a plan to
compel property owners to put down
good sidewalks. 1t was agreed that
resolution of intention be adopted to
reconstruct all defective sidewalks. All
protests would be overruled and then
bids would be invited in the same man
ner as when the city does the work,
but the expense would be made a lien
on the property fronting the sidewalk
The owner of the sidewalk at Post
street and Central avenue was noti-
fed to put down new sidewalk, as
the old one is dangerous. Pending his
action a barricade was placed around
the pavement
The City Engineer reported that the
city would have to bear $120 Of the cost
of improving Forty-ninth avenue, near
H street. AS the board has no funds
for the purpose the Supervisors will be
asked to provide the money out Of the
urgent necessity fund.
The board notified Rogers & Duffy to
remove certain fences obstructing the
westerly side of Buena Vista avenue,
between Haight and Waller streets.
Corrected deeds were accepted from
the Pope Estate Company for the ex-
tension of Shrader and Cole streets and
Alma avenue.

BEER KEGS OF STEEL
Made in Two Pieces Out Of. Old
Rails,

Rails.
A process OF making beer kegs out OF
old steel rails Joseph :. Heslop OF
Joliet, ILL.,, the inventor, believes IL I'd
make him wealthy, says the Denver
Post
In his valise Mr., Heslop carrier q
small model beer keg, made out OF
polished steel. which he says will with
in few years do away with the old
and cumbersome wooden kegs entirely
The steel is only one sixteenth of an
inch thick, and the keg weighs only u
few pounds, but It's inventor claims
that II will stand three times the pres
sure that wooden keg win and that
1t can be made for one third the price
of wooden keg.
The keg is made In two pieces, the
joint being hidden by steel band. The
bunghole is hermetically sealed by 4
patent contrivanee whrh. requires a
key to unlock 1t, The hole is grad
uatHd to ut any size of splgot.
Any kind of steel Is used in It's con-
struction, but Mr.. Heslop is now using
old steel rails. The interior OF the keg
is covered with pitch preparation
used in wooden kegs to keep the beer
from tasting OF the metal.

In passing. it may be noted that
Champ Clark is a democrat who was
very much in evidence during the Par
ker convention and who acted as chair
man Of the committee to notify the
candidate, Judge Parker, as Speaker
cannon tiid for President Roosevelt.
Naturally one expects that with SO
much liberal education. birth in the
home of chivalry; so wide an expert
ence as that successor of job. an edi-
tor: with the prudence that should be-
long To public prosecutor; and with
the sobriety which should attach to
"a years, Mr.. Champ Clark should at
least have some traces of being a gem
tleman.
Engaged in debate with his fellow
congressman Charles Il. Lands, and
before the Western Chautauqua in
Indiana, Mr.. Clark said, and he meant
it: IF the man who just called me u
liar will meet me outside of the park
when l finish my speech, I'll cut his
throat from ear to earl"
1t is certainly not very gentlemanly
10 call a man liar, but Mr.. Clark. a
public speaker, a congressman, GER
tainly gave fair provocation when on
the stump he declared the republicans
want TO rule this country by assassin
ation." That is pretty strong language
even for q Pitchfork Tillman. 1t GER
tainly was strong for an Indiana audi
ence, one of whom resented it in the
word to which Mr.. Clark excepted.
1t is safe to say that Mr.. Clark has
pretty effectually put a stop to his
usefulness as a campaigner in any
state except where they want man
who uses the language of meiodra-
matte bully. Champ Clark is the man
who on the democratic side would be
as close to Judge Parker. should he be-
come president, as Speaker Cannon will
be to President Roosevelt. Judge Par
ker is unfortunate in his friends. His
chairman is interested in a gambling
house and his chief spokesman Is
would-be cutthroat.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD
Merchants Are Flocking to the
Distributing Centers-While
Buying Is Careful 1t is as
Brisk as Expected.

New York. Aug. 19.-Adviees received
hy the International Mercantile Agency
show that there has been little change
:, business conditions during the week
except in districts specially affected
bv reports of crop damage and dis
turbance incident to the cut in steel
prices. Business on the whole shows
nm we'll. and in most retail lines Is
fully holding its own. In certain Sec
tions of the west trade has been decld-
ad,v stimulated, with improved distri-
buttons and generally hopeful feeling
Commercial centers are beginning to
feel the impetus of summer travel ana
BUYERS are flocking to distributing
noints. disposed to buy literally, al
though with marked discrimination.
This is a good sign and shows that re-
plenishment this year will be con-
ducted along conservative lines. More
seasonable weather throughout the
southwest has led to better results in
many lines, especially in dry goods and
various branches of apparel. Boot and
shoe orders are in better volume. and
iobbers in hats and caps are forcing
factores to work overtime to keep up
with the current business. This i'm
proyement has extended to the cloth
ing industry, the outlook for which in
some sections was reported to be
rather uncertain a week ago.
Less stock than usual is believed to
have been carried over in many lines
owing to the known conservatism of
prominent dealers. Their experience
last winter was suggestive of the great
er care that was displayed this year in
avoiding the "overstocking evil' for
spring and summer goods. An excel
lent demand is noted for groceries, es-
pecially staples, where prices are firm
and distribution is for the most part
satisfactory. Encouraging returns are
shown in dry goods, and in paints and |
oils. Leather has been active at the !
south with better advance in prices,
owing to the scarcity of properly cured
hides. The wool market has also
strengthened somewhat and tobacco in
general is holding firm.
The Kansas City and st. Louis dis
triets report another week of active
business with steady improvement in
many lines and generally expanding
trade. The latter section, especially,
is feeling the stimulus of increased
trade from the worlds fair visitors,
whose purchases are swelling the vol
ume of ordinary business to abnormal
proportions. While the final results
are in a measure dependent upon the
crop developments, it is noteworthy
that the districts which would suffer
the most from a disastrous shortage,
have not been alarmed by the excite
ment that has attended this weeks
trading in wheat options at New York,
Chicago and Minneapolis.
