talked over the matter, and we will so
arrange our schedules SO as to not
have conflicting dates in Topeka. In
asmuch as we shall both use the same

sirable.
I'VE ought to have the winning
team of Washburn's history this year
We never had such good array of
men out and all are willing and work
ing hard. What is more they are good
and can promise you it will be a task
to pick the team Later 7 think It
will be possible for US to engage a
professional coach for a few days to
teach the boys some of the finer points
of the game. and puteon the finishing
touches"
Tomorrow morning the athletic
board of Washburn will meet to look
over the schedule and decide some
minor matters connected with the
baseball season, principal among
which is whether or not season tickets
shall be issued this year. All of the
candidates of the team are eligible to
play and there will be no discussion
of any kind on that score

from him. but they were evidently
convinced that Holiday will be a fai-
and able representative of the ward in
the council. They will get out and
work for him, and he will not lose this
large element of support, as some have
supposed he would"
Mr.. Snyder is inclined to make fun OF
Mr. Holidays promise to secure COM
promise and reduction of the gas rates IN
Topeka. Snyder has come back at Holt
day with the statement that If he Is
elected he will get the street car company
to reduce its rate of fare from cents TO
cents. The company's franchise gives 1t
the right to charge cents, and 1t is
very likely to give the merry ha-ha to
any other proposition
H. z. Gavitt, the well known East Fifth
street business man, says that he does
not know of a single person of East Firth
street who is opposed to Holiday. 1t IS
also thought that Holiday will run very
well with the Santa Fe shop voters Mr.
Holidays father, Cyrus X Holiday, was
the first president of the Santa Fe rail-
way and one of its founders.
The registration in the Second ward will
be heavy. Both candidates are working
hard though Mr. Holidays carriages are
rather more numerous than Mr. Sny-
der's The books have been for the past
week at Fourth and Adams street, but
not all the Second ward registration has
been going on there. A great deal OF 1t
has been hauled direct to the reg1stra ton
books at the Auditorium.

WILL SELL APRIL u.
Date Fixed by Mr. Dillon for
Disposal of WaterWorks.

Hiram p. Dillon. who was on Monday
appointed special master by Judge Pol
lock of the United States court, to sell
the Topeka waterworks property, an
nounced this morning that the sale
would take place on Friday, April o.
at IL O'Clock a. m. at the south door
of the Shawnee county court house.
This sale is resultant to the decree
which Judge Pollock entered in the fed
eral court on Monday to clear the title
of the property. At the present time it
is loaded down with three mortgages.
a first mortgage. first consolidated
last is subject to both the others and
the degree practically sets it aside The
first mortgage is for s27e. 900 as it now
stands; the first consolidated mortgage
with accumulated interest is fol-. $607,-
65262; the third mortgage is for $3.50. 600
and interest. The order of the court is
to dispose of the property to the highest
bidder at public auction. and it is for
this sale that H. P. Dillon. the special
master. this morning selected April p.
The money paid by the buyer is to be
applied on the first mortgage and the
first consolidated MORTGAGE. and the re-
mainder is to be set against the third
mortgage. A glance at the price which
the city is willing to Day will readily
show how the third mortgage is prac-
$62c 600 to buy the plant After the
s27o000 still due on the first mortgage
bonds is substracted from the purchase
price of s620.000. there will be $3.50, 900
left to apply on the first consolidated
bonds. upon which the sum of $500, 900 is
due. This practically wipes the third
mortgage off the map.

MAY KILL PAVEMENT.
Runor of q Combine of the City
Councilmen.

An understanding is said to have been
arrived at among certain members of
the city council which will result in the
sudden and painless death of lot of
proposed new pavement at the council
meeting to be held March IS.
This alleged combine is not a very
large one. but it is composed of some of
the leading members of the council, and
they are pledged to sustain the mayor
in his veto of every bit of pavement ex-
cept that which was agreed to last year,
and the new pavement on East Eighth
It will take only four members of the
council to form such a blockade to pro-
tect the mayors veto. and the four men
are said to have been secured.
When it becomes known that this
combine cannot be broken. there will
probably be some scrambling to get into
the bandwagon. and it is likely that as
a result it will not even be necessary
for the mayor to exercise the veto pow
err The proposed pavement will very
likely be knocked out by the majority
vote of the council
The proposed new pavements which
are said to be marked for slaughter are
West Fifth. between Topeka avenue
and Buchanan: one block on Van
Buren,: one block on East Third, and
one block on Twelfth. This viii save
the city about $1,000:
People don't need to worry about this
new pavement" said one of the council
men who is in this combine" THE
council viii not allow so much paving
to be laid. It will knock it all out at
the next meeting. If present plans do
not miscarry."

SIGNS OF
BAD BLOOD
WATCH THE SKIN FOR SIGNS OF BAD BLOOD.

purities and casts them out through the pore
itching eruption of some kind is the result
blood, the skin reacts, and the humors and
all winter are suddenly thrown off by the
the acrid matter passing off, and the skin has
dry or oily appearance, and red, dishgur-
ing b1otches, pimples, blackheads, and all
manner of tormenting, singing and itching
eruptions break through and continue until
the riotous, feverish blood has been restored
to its normal state.
At this season the system should have
thorough cleansing, the blood purified and
all the bodily organs toned up and strength
ened, or you may look out for a return of
your old skin trouble later on, for as long as
a remnant of the disease remains in the
blood it is liable to come back. The use of
lotions, powders, soaps and salves in diseases
of the skin do but little good, for the blood
and not the skin is the real seat of the trouble.
It is internal, not external The humor or
poison in the blood is the cause of the erup-
ton, and a blood purifier and not lotions or
salves is required in the treatment of these
skin diseases. Face powders and cosmetics
of various kinds cover up for the time being
the ugly b1emishes, blackheads and pimples
and glaze over the rough red skin, but the
impurities in the blood will continue to break
out until the evil is corrected at its fountain
head Purify the blood and the skin will
take care of itself. Potash, Arsenic and sire

HOLDING THEM BACK.

We want to call attention to all
the taxpayers Of Preston county to
the fact that the people who are
running the Republican campaign
in Preston county are holding back
the Acts of the extraordinary session
of the Legislature. They are not
giving out the Acts only where they
are forced to 10 so. They are
afraid for the peorle to get hold of
the Acts and read them. They are
perfectly aware that if the people
read the Acts that they will learn
that it is the Republican managers
who are disappearing the Dawson
tax bill. They are afraid to let the
people read them.
We have distributed from THE
ARGUS Office alone over four hun
dred of the Acts. We are exceed
ingly anxious that the people read
the Acts and decide for themselves
whether they are not just exactly
what THE ARGUS claims they are.
II the people will read the Acts we
have no fear of the result. They
are bad enough. 1t is not necessary
to misrepresent them to show how
infamous they are.

NOT EVEN THE POST.

There are a great many people
who do not know what coun ties
compose this Congressional Dis.
trict. They are Barbour, Berkeley,
Grant, Hampshire, Hardy, Jeffer-
son, Marion, Mineral, Morgan,
Monongalia. Pendleton, Preston,
Randolph, Taylor and Tucker. At
least ten of these counties will give
Mr.. Dayton good majorities this
fall.-Post.
We have been a little suspicious
Of the Morgantown Post for some
time that it was figuring on a false
basis in giving Dayton a majority.
The Post belongs to the "great
many people who do not know
what counties composing this Con
gressional District" 1t reaches
over in the FIRST Congressional Dis
trict and Captures Marion county,
and places it in the Second to help
Dayton out. Well, Dayton will
need great many counties outside
the Second to help him this time.
AS we have but fourteen in the Sec
ond District the Post will find it
hard work to discover five of the
counties giving Clayton good ma
Jorities this fall" This is the year
that the counties are going to take
a fall out of Dayton. Mark it, Bro.
