CITYPRlNTING AWARDED
Council Accepts a Bid of 20 Cents Per
Square.

BY a vote of to 5, the city council
at its Monday night meeting awarded
the city printing for the year begin
ming August 1, 1904, to the Topeka
Herald. The State Journals offer to do
the city printing at whatever legal rate
the council might fix prior to August
2, was rejected, and the city lost an
opportunity to save a large sum of
money. This is an economical admin
istration." The Herald offered to do the
printing at the rate of 20 cents per
square of $50 ems, which is cents less
than the present ordinance rate. The
Topeka Capital submitted no bid on the
work.
The following was the proposition
submitted by the Topeka State Journal:
To the Mayor and City Council
Gentlemen-I will do the city printing
the ensuing year at the rate named in the
existing ordinance, or at any rate that
mayor and council may adopt prior to
August 2, 1904.
1t is not the custom of the State Jour-
nal to importune the mayor and council
to give it the printing. 1t appreciates
will promptly enter into a contract to do
the work as above stated; will guarantee
that it's bills will correspond with the rate
named in the ordinance and contract, and
also guarantees that it has a circulation
which would place the city's advertising
before regular subscribers to the extent
of several thousand more readers in To-
pel<a than through any other daily me-
dunn, or any other two such mediums in
this city. Respectfully submitted.
FRANK P. MACLENNAN,
Editor and Proprietor Topeka Daily State
Journal.
The matter came up in the form of a
report from the three tellerS, Council
men Kutz, Green and Rice who recon-
mended that the bid of the Herald be
accepted.
Councilman Swendson moved that the
report of the tellerS be adopted. Coun
Gilman Holiday moved as an amend
ment after the State Journals PROPOSE
ton had been explained to the council,
that the matter of letting the contract
be postponed and the city attorney be
instructed to draw up an ordinance fix
ing the legal rate for publications at
1215 cents per square of $50 ems, which
is one half the present rate, and 71s
cents below the Herald's bid. 1t was on
this proposed amendment that the test

1t gives strength by converting the

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in many homes is
that it contains no narcotic of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless.
1t can be used any length of time
without acquiring a drug habit. Pc
runa does not produce temporary re-
suits. 1t is permanent in it's effect
1t has no bad effect upon the sys-
tenn, and gradually eliminates catarrh
by removing the cause of catarrh.
There are a multitude of homes where
Peruna has been used off and on for
twenty years. Such thing could not
be possible If Peruna contained any
drugs of a narcotic nature.

"Peruna is the best medicine 1 know
of for coughs and to strengthen a
weak stomach and to give appetite.
Beside prescribing it for catarrh, I
have ordered it for weak and debili-

Only the weak need a tonic. Peo-
pie are never weak except from some
good cause. One of the obscure causes
of weakness and the one oftenest
overlooked is catarrh.
Catarrh inf1ames the mucous mem
brane and causes the blood plasma to
escape through the mucous mem
brane in the form of mucus. This dis
charge of mucus is the same as the
loss of blood. 1t produces weakness.
Peruna stops the catarrh and pre-
vents the discharge of mucous. This is
why Peruna is called tonic. Peruna

George VaIlery of the Burlington
Goes to Colorado Midland.


Goes to Colorado Midland.
Denver, July 19.-Whatever induce
ments were held out by Burlington
officials to General Agent George VAL
lery to remain with that road did
not suffice to change his mind, for
he returned from the Omaha confer
ence yesterday and announced that
he would assume the managership
of the Midland on August 1. The
case presented in the Vallery appoint
ment is said to be the first in the
history of railroading in which the
general agent of a road has been ele-
waited to the general managership of
another road, and railroad men gem
orally have commented on this I'M
usual promotion, saying that in Mr..
Vallery's case it is quite proper and
was to have been expected.
The successor to Mr.. Vallery will
be named this week. Officials at
Omaha, controlling the appointment.
are considering some ten or fifteen
men whose names have appeared to
them to be eligible, and out of this
list they will choose the successor.
At least two Denver men are being
considered, Fred c. Matthews, travel
ing passenger agent, and w. H. Loom
is, local freight agent, and one of
these two, both being familiar with
the local situation, may get the
plum.

TRACK ON LANDSLIDE.
Missouri Pacific Had Trouble Nea
IeaVenVOrtb

The Atchison Globe says; "On the
Missouri Pacific, between Leavenworth
and Kansas City, three miles of track
are sliding toward the river. There
is one stretch of two miles south
of Leavenworth where the whole bluff
is slipping down. The bluff is also
sliding at Quindaro. The track is
constantly being moved back as the
bluff sinks into the river. Great trees
that are fifty or a hundred years old
are cut down before they reach the
track When the stumps are near the
track they must be pulled up. At first
this problem of pulling up the big
stumps was puzzling, but Roadmaster
Miller was equal to the occasion. He
got a 120-ton locomotive and a mas
sive chain. BY means of the chain
he hitched the iron horse to the
stump, and told the engineer to go

for some time, but recently he has
been too strenuous in his wooing and
was told to cease his visits. Mrs.
TOwle secured q warrant from Police

on a charge of battery. She alleges
that a few days ago he called while
drunk and knocked her down and on
Wednesday he again called and
amused himself by slashing the carpet
in her hallway with a knife. She
wanted warrants for threats against
life, malicious mischief, disturbing the
peace and battery, but the clerk issued
only the one warrant.
