Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, n. Y, July 25.-(Spe-
ial.)-That Rheumatism can be cured
has been proved beyond a doubt by
Mrs. Betsey A. Clawson, well known
here. That Mrs. Clawson had Rheu-
matism and had it bad, all her ac-
quaintances know. They also know
she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills
did it. Mrs Clawson tells the story Of
her cure as follows:
81 was an invalid for most five
years caused by Intlammatory Rheu-
matism. helpless two-thirds of the
time. The first year could not do
as much as baby could do: then
rallied little bit and then relapse.
Then year ago the gout set in my
hands and feet. l suffered untold
agony and in August, 1903. when my
husband died could not ride to the
grave.
81 only took two boxes Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks l
could wait on myself and saw my own
wood. ! dug my own potatoes and
gathered my own garden last fall.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me-"
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.

What Professor Brewer Saw Thirty
Five Years Ago.-lnGian on We
Ioeinede. Scalp Dance.

ocipede-ReaIistic Scalp Dance.
1t has been thirty-fve years since
| Erof. William H. Brewer of the depart
| ment of forestry and agriculture in
| Yale University, first saw Colorado.
Il was ont here then with Harvard
| expedition" said Professor Brewer to
group of guests at the Cliff house in
Manitou recently. "and an accident
was all that prevented us from ex-
| ploring the Pixies Peak region. We
! were headed in this direction from
Fairplay when our wagons broke down
and had to be taken back to Denver for
repairs.
Railroads had not even been
dreamed of by the people out here
then" continued the professor. 'and
Indians were more common than white
men. Why. | recall that the most
amusing sight of the trip was the spec
tacle of an Indian trying to ride an
old-fashioned wooden velocipede on
what is now Larimer street in Denver.
Traffic on that thoroughfare was
stopped by the crowd that gathered to
laugh at the savage. who in vain tried
to mount the bone shaker as they
called it.
THAT was tame affair compared
with the scalp dance that band OF
Utes and Arapahoes engaged in.' add
ed the speaker. Those two tribes were
anything but friendly at that time, and
l want to say that my blood chilled
on several occasions that l shall never
forget
Our mission out here" explained
Professor Brewer, was in the nature
of government expedition. We were
making explorations and naming peaks
and other mountain points. 1t was
tacitly agreed that the highest point
we discovered should be named Har-
ward and the next Yale, and we gave
those names to two peaks we thought
were the highest undiscovered noun
tains in these parts.
Among the points of interest that
the party named was the Mount of the
Holy Cross. We preferred that to the
Spanish Santa Crucis." said Professor
Brewer. I'm our party were number
of geologists and geographers, among
the number being Henry Garnett, the
present United States geographer.'
Professor Brewer expressed regret
that the party did not get into the
Pixies Peak region. 1T would have
been a glorious sight then, just as it is
now," he remarked as he looked in the
direction of Pixies Peak and contem-
plated the panorama of mountain seem
cry before him. And we did want to
see Colorado City" he added, reflective
ly. because in size and Importance it
was the next city to Denver then. -

FOR FIRE PROTECTION.
Building Inspector Sends Notices to
Local Contractors.

Building Inspector Snowden Ashford to-
day sent out TO large number of builders,
employed in constructing apartment houses
notices inviting the contractors attention
to certain provisions In the building regu-
lations relating to fire stops in apartment
houses. 1t is stated that the builders hive
recently expressed to the inspectors their
ignorance of the regulations referred 10,
and that the regulations have not been
complied with by the contractors
The regulation mentioned Is section 10
of the building regulations, which reads as
follows:
Fire stops must be placed in all build
ings of the second class, at each floor. in
all through vertical openings i'm walls and
partitions formed by furrying studs.
These fire stops must be of brick and
mortar or other incombustible materials OF
low heat conductivity. Where partition
studs pass through floors the entire space
between the studs must be filed with these
materials from the bottom of the floor
joist to a place three inches above tho
floor level.
The builders are notified by the inspector
OF buildings to comply with the law in this
particular.

In answer to an inquiry to why he had

he said he had not thought of doing that.

Stutlsr Denies Charge.
Mr.. Stutler was called to the stand. and
denied the general charge. He declared
that throughout the history of the depart
ment unimproved streets and alleys had
been cleaned more days than improved
streets. That is true. he said. because rain
cleans asphalt streets. while 1t has exactly
the opposite effect unimproved streets
and alleys. Under Daggett & Dugan the
inspectors had been fined by the Commits
sioners for letting the machines go out on
a rainy day.
Unimproved streets were cleaned once in
ten days. while improved streets were
cleaned every other day. Therefore 1T was
more important that no time should be
missed on the unimproved streets. He said
that each year Mr. Robinson had cleaned a
larger number OF square yards than was
Appropriated In the specifications. He de-
MED that he had told Robinson that he
would cut his work.
The hearing then adjourned. to resume
again at 1890 o'clock this morning.

AS soon as Inspector Beymer had been
excused the Commissioners asked MI

Cigars for Stutler.
Mr.. Stutler admitted, that he had accepted
a box Of cigars from Mr.. Robinson In 1oOl
Also that the inspectors had accepted tur-
keys from the contractor at that time' ana
he believed in other years. MI Stutier
said he did not consider there was any
wrong in permitting the inspectors to ac-
cept turkeys in the gift season. Some trou-
BILE arose between Mr., Bailey and Inspector
Beymer in July, 1893, MIR: Stutler said. and
when he returned from his vacation re-
ports of the trouble were on the taDie. IN
these reports were 7chafges that beymer
had improperly received 1favors from hoe-
tnson
The outcome of the matter. Mr.. Stutler
said. was that Commissioner West issued
an order August g. 1903. that IN the future
inspectors should not receive, any presents
from District contractors.
Mr.. Stutler stated this order was COM
municated to his inspectors and ne mad
heard of no violations of that order

came the two streets were very dirty. He
said he requested Mr.. Rusk for that special
occasion to sweep the two streets Monday
morning. The Fourth of July debris. he
said, was the occasion for this one sweep
ing.
oscar C. Felton, employed by Rusk as a
repairer of machinery, denied that he had
ever told Robinson any alleged reason why
RuSk did not continue Monday morning
sweepings. He did not remember that Rusk
had ever cleaned Pennsylvania avenue on
Monday morning.
Charge Three Taken Up.
This concluded the hearing charge
four, and charge three was reverted to. 1t
is as follows:
THE only conditions which operate 10
cause a suspension Of work in the street
cleaning department are lack of funds
and unfavorable weather. and they should
affect all branches of the service alike ex-

Mr. Stutler accepted the figures given as
correct. Mr. Robinson told of day when
