WATER WAR MAYBEENDED
EASTERN CAPITALISTS READY
TO SELL THEIR PLANT AT HELL
ENA TO THE MUNICIPALITY.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Helena, Mont, May 24.-At meet
ing of the city council last night there
was read a communication from the
Boston office of the Helena Water
works company in which the company
expressed it's desire to sell it's plant to
the city.
It was suggested that the company
would cooperate with the city in the
appointment Of committee to in
spect the plant and determine its
value, this report not to be binding
on either parties, but to be used most
ly as basis for the negotiations. The
gold bonds at Az per cent interest in
payment for the plant.
The communication was referred to
the committee on water and light. AS
the present administration favors the
purchase at a reasonable figure of
the existing plant in preference to
building a new system, the probabili-
ties are that the litigation of many
years standing over the municipal
water question will now be amicably
settled by the purchase Of these hold
,ings. The taxpayers of Helena have
voted 100000 bonds for the pur-
chase or erection Of a plant.
The meeting Of the city council
showed the results Of the recent con-
ferences between Mayor Purcell and
the republican majority In that body.
With one exception every appointee Of
the mayor was confirmed, and the one
that failed was rejected on a non-par-
tizan vote, in addition to this the city
clerk and attorney, Edward Horsky,
feet on the first Monday in June.
On the other side the republicans Sc
cured eleven out of eighteen COM
mittee chairmanships.

COUNTRY CLUB
AT FRONTENAC.
OPTIONS SECURED ON GENERAL
ISRAEL GARRARD PROPERTY.
Twin City Promoters Plan Establish
ment of a Modern Club on Historic
Ground 49, Membership Will Be
Limited to 800 Site at Lake
Pepin.

A plan to establish a country club
at Frontenac is being matured Dy a
number of twin city men. These men
have already secured an option on the
General Israel Garrard estate. There
are ten acres Of wooded land jutting
into Lake Pepin, with hotel, dance
hall, cottages and stable. 1t is pro-
posed to remodel these buildings, turn
the hotel into clubhouse, install q
heating and lighting plant, plumbing
and sewerage systems. On the forty
acre tract adjoining, tennis courts
golf links, croquet grounds, automo-
bile and lighthouses and lawn bowls
are to be provided.
The club is to be limited to 500
MEMBERS and will include residents OF
Minneapolis, ST. Paul, Chicago, ST.
Louis, Omaha, Kansas City, Milwau-
kee, La Crosse and Winona.
The committee is composed of Ruk-
ard Hurd, chairman; q. A. Jaggard,
Luther s. Cushing and Gustave
Scholle and William c.. Edgar.
The Garrard estate not only is one
or rare beauty, but has connected with
it an early day history OF unusual in
terest. General Isreal Garrard In
early times owned all of the property
in and around what is now Frontenac.
AS the district became settled he leased
houses and farms to many tenants,
but never sold He thus became, like
the feudaI lords of old, owner of the
village and all surrounding farms,
with all the tenants paying him rent
ais. The general died some two years
ago and the property is now owned by
his son, George Garrard.

SHY AT. RESPONSIBILITY
HEALTH AND POOR DEPART
MENT OFFICIALS DENY THAT
THE PoTrEgss FIELD IlI IS UNDER
THEIR sCHARGGfE,,,,e..sa ssa,a,7

.
Neither the health department nor the
poor department will admit responsibility
for the city cemetery or potters' field,
near the quarantine hospital If the man
who represents himself as the father Of
the late Amelia Gilbert, who died at the
hospital from smallpox, accomplishes
nothing more by his complaints, he will
at least be instrumental in determining
which department controls the cemetery.
When he wanted the mayor to order an
investigation as to the reason for bury
ing the body only two feet deep, he was
referred to the health department.
DR.. Hall says he has never considered
that he had supervision over the city
cemetery. While the superintendent Of the
quarantine hospital has charge of the
cemetery, he is not required to do so by
the health department., which employs
him, and for any work he does In the
graveyard he is paid by the poor depart
1nent. 1,sl
DR.. Hall says the board Of charities and
corrections can hire any one for this work.
but because the quarantine station is near
at hand, the superintendent has always
been employed.
Superintendent of Poor w. P. Barton
understands that the cemetery is under
the control of the board Of health, but
has never looked into the question.
Superintendent Schmidt of the quaran-
tine station says that he knows nothing
Of the Gilbert case. The three bodies he
has buried were placed down six feet. He
saw about fifteen graves dug by his i'm
mediate predecessor, A. j. Lunt, and al
We're six feet deep.

AS A TONIC.

For Weakness or General Debility
Push-kuro is unexcelled.
1t creates appetite, stimulates the
heart, improves the blood and imparts
vitality to every nerve and organ.
Push-kuro cures weakness from the
slightest exertion, removes that tired,
worn-out feeling, that nervous high
tension, nervous headaches, nervous
excitement. It restores vigor and
health to all who suffer from
any debility, oyerwork, great
strain, general prostration, or
even collapse. It produces strong,
healthy nerves and also aids
recovery after long spells of sickness.
It is the greatest tonic and cure ever
discovered. There is limit to nerve
modern way Of living and working,
overtaxes the nerves and they are
sure to give way sooner or later-ac-
cording to the resisting powers Of the
nerves-but invariably some time, -
the penalty will come. Do not wait
until it is too late. Take Push-kuro
in time and avoid opiates or liquors
these only make it worse. Push-kuro
makes weak men and women strong,
restores the lost nerve force, causes
the cheeks to glow and eyes to sparkle,
and makes the step elastic. Nor Is it
a temporary Improvement. It is g.
permanent cure.
If your druggist hasn't got Push
kuro, take nothing else, but mail 81
to DR.. Pusheck, 1919 Diversey Blvd,
Chicago, and Push-kuro will be sent
by prepaid express. (Cold-Push for
coughs and colds, Csc by mail.)

are a gay and care-free set. Even those
whose graduation is doubtful are await

EDUCATED BRAVES
TO BURY HATCHET
WILL SMOKE PEACE PIPE ON ssU''
CAMPUS TOMORROW.
Annual Ceremony Which Marks End
of Hostilities Between Seniors and
Juniors Will Take Place Under
Cover of Night, but Not in Dark of
the Moon.

With all the ancient tribal cere-
monies. the braves of the senior and
Junior classes of the university
Wednesday night will bury the hatch
ct and smoke the calumet in token of
the end of the long war between them.
This ceremony is the first of those
which mark commencement time, and
is also one Of the most ancient of uni
yersity customs. It was originated
by the class of rs, and was carried
thru without a break until 1898, when
the calumet was lost and the custom
allowed to lapse. To the class of 1902
belongs the credit of rediscovering the
peace pipe and re-establishing the
custom.
The pipe used at these ceremonies
has a history whose beginning is lost
in the mists Of tradition. One leg
end has it that the pipe was given to
member Of the class of '78 by Chief
Bemidji in return for some service
now forgotten, and was considered as
used at their tribal councils. A more
reliable story, and hardly less pic
turesque, is that it was purchased
from a. trooper stationed at Fort
Smelling, who acquired it during some
Of the Indian fighting Of the early
sixties.
The constant change in the per-
sonnet of the student body makes the
preservation of history by oral tradi-
ton a matter Of great uncertainty,
and the true story Of the calumet will
probably always remain a mystery.
After it's loss in '93 the pipe was not
seen until it was discovered by an
alumnus in st. Paul pawn shop and
given into the custody Of the class of
'02.
The smoke this year will be held
around a, council fire on the campus
and as the pipe is passed from hand
classes will tell of past battles and
cement the new-nade peace by
smoothly spoken words.

cussion of the proposed new city charter

j. C. Haynes discussed the civil service
feature, commencing it. "Too much time

siderlng applications for the police force, "
he said. eff had no appointments to

vice."
City Attorney Frank Healy thought the

Of adoption if only home rule, and not
civil service, had been provided. F. w.
Reed said the workingnan's vote was the
one which in the past had defeated re-
form measures, speaking particularly OF
the large vote in South Town cast against
the teachers pension fund.

was warm and the first case was soon
gone. The officers returned for second
case, but found that all the bottles had
been emptied. On inquiring Captain
