BUILDING LAW
IS SUSPENDED
NEW ORDINANCE NOT YET IN
EFFECT
Representatives Of All Lines Of 5usi-
ness Ask Council to Grant Con-
tinuanee for Ninety Days.
Many Objections to Law

The council yesterday suspended the
new building ordinance until the first
day of May. leaving the old ordinance
in effect until that time. This action
was taken at special meeting called
for the purpose. The special meeting
followed an animated meeting Of the
building committee. at which COM
plants about the new ordinance were
heard.
According to the complaints present.
ed it seems that almost every industry
in the city Is put in jeopardy by the
new ordinance. Representatives of the
plumbing, carpentering and oil inter-
ests stated that the immediate enforce
ment of the ordinance would amount
to confiscation of their property.
number Of attorneys representing
various lines of business urged the
council to grant the extension of time.
John j. Mott represented a number of
oil dealers. oscar Lawler presented the
case for the plumbers. r. B. Young
spoke of the damage the enforcement
of the ordinance would do the business
of architects. He said theater cannot
be built on sixty-foot lot on account
of the space the ordinance requires for
exits.
Enoch Pepper, a property owner liv-
ing at SAT South Flower street said
he desires to move his old residence
farther back upon his lot and erect a
new building in front. Under the or
dinance he could not move the old
building, but must wreck it. He argued
that this was nothing less than con-
fiscation.
Thornton Fitzhugh, an architect EN-
ployed by Homer Laughln, said the
ordinance discouraged the construction
of good buildings and placed a pre-
MUM upon poor ones. why" he said,
under this ordinance we could not
construct building equal to or even
better than the Homer Laughlin build
ing.
"I have drawn plans for building
for Mr.. Laughlin that would be a
better one than the Laughlin building
is but we cannot afford to construct
it under this ordinance. The floors
alone would cost $4,000 more than they
ought to cost"
The oil men said the effect of the law
was equally baneful upon their bust
ness, and. that it legislated the tand'
ard and United Oil companies out o.
business entirely.
BY the action of the council business
can now proceed as heretofore unde'
the old ordinance, and in the meantime
an effort will be made to amend the
} new one so that it will be more salts
factory.
The new ordinance is the result o.
the labors of special committee, the
building committee of the council ant
the city attorney. Several months were
spent in working out the ordinance.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
daily dose OF sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy
was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in palatable, con-
eentrated form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and exper-
iment have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtained
from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) ami
sold in drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Calcium Waters. They arc
small chocolate coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in a highly concentrated, eff
fective form.
Few people are aware of the value
of this form of sulphur In restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health;
sulphur acts directly on the liver and
excretory organs and purifles and en-
riches the Oy the
nation of waste material
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall. but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary
flowers of sulphur were often worse
than the disease, and cannot compare
with the viodern concentrated prepara-
tions OF sulphur, of which Stuart's
Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the
hest and most widely used,
They are the natural antidote for liv-
er and kidney troubles and cure con-
stipation and purify the blood In a way
that often surprises patient and ply
sioian alike.
DR.. r, M. Wilkins while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was su-
perior to any ether form. He says:
"For liver, kidney and blood trou-
bles, especially when resulting from
| constipation or malaria, | have been
surprised at the results obtained from
Stuarts Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, / have
repeatedly seen them dry up and disap-
| pear In four or five days, leaving the
skin clear and smooth. Although

tary article. and sold by druggists,

At any rate people who are tired OF

"purihers." will find in Stuart's CAL
cium Waters a far safer, more pala-

The Suicide,

One of the pitiful weaklings
who crowd the dockets of the
criminal courts, caught at safe
crimes, is dissected and charted
by Villa Sibert Gather in "Paul's
Case" in the May McClure's. 1t
is a journey to the hidden places
of human nature. The story
searches the inmost heart of the
lad whose nature is his insur-
mountable handicap. 1t follows
his brief days of hungry enjoy
ment of his swag. Here is the
end:
"When he reached a little hill
side, where the tracks ran through
a cut some twenty feet below him.
he stopped and sat down. Then
he dozed a little, from his weak
condition, seeming insensible to
the cold.
1.-THE sound of an approaching
train awoke him, and he started
to his feet, remembering only his
resolution, and afraid lest he
should be too late. He stood
watching the approaching loco
motive, his teeth chattering, his
lips drawn away from them in q
frightened smile; once or twice
he glanced nervously sidewise, as
though he were being watched,
When the right moment came he
jumped. AS he fell, the folly OF
his haste occurred to him with
merciless clearness, the vastness
of what he had left undone. There
flashed through his brain, clearer
than ever before. the blue of Ad
ratio water, the yellow of AL
gerian sands.
HE felt something strike hi:
chest, and that his body was be-
ing thrown swiftly through the air
on and on, lmmeasurably far and
fast, while his limbs were gently
relaxed. Then, because the pic.
ture-making mechanism was
crushed, the disturbing visions
flashed into black, and Paul drop
ped back into the immense design
of things.

First Natl. Bank, San Angelo, Texas.

To Our Depositors and the Public:
On April 1st our bank increased
it's paid up capital to $3.50, 900,
our shareholders believing that
the development taking place in
our territory justifies this move.
AS this bank now has a capita
and surplus of over 100000, we
are better prepared than hereto
fore to properly care for the bust
ness interests of this section.
The increase in our capital
stock has resulted in very large
increase in the number of share
holders in the bank, there being
now more than fifty individual
stockholders, the large majority
Of whom are prominently identi-
fled with the business interests Of
this immediate section.
During the past twelve months
we have been greatly hampered in
handling the business placed in
our care by reason of our cramped
accommodations, and the many
resulting Inconvenience have
been shared in by our depositors
and the business public. We de-
sire to express our hearty appre-
citation of the liberal patronage
accorded to our bank and the
kindly forbearance of our depos-
itors under these trying condi,
tions.
About June 1st we will be again
located at our old stand at the
corner of Chadbourne street and
Beauregard avenue, where for q
period of nineteen years the bank
carried on business. Our new
building is rapidly nearing com
pletion, and we are looking for
ward with pleasure to the prospect
of improved facilities for the
transaction Of business which W.
shall be able to offer to our Gus
toners and the public generally

Governor Rebukes People of Reno.
Governor Sparks vetoed the Truckee
River bill passed by the last session of
the Legislature for the reason that the
present law covers the ground. In his
message the Governor says: 1--WE
have sued our neighbors across the line
in California for polluting the waters
of the Truckee river. It would Ger.
tainly be c~ommendable il we began the
practice among ourselves Of keeping the
waters of our streams and lakes as free
from pollution as we wish California to
keep them. The people of Reno and
others living contiguous to the Truckee
river have been very dilatory in COM
mencing the system Of drainage and
sewerage as required by the law enacted
two years ago. thereby subjecting thous-
sands of people to the use Of the con-
taminated waters flowing in the
Truckee river. Not only this but they
have contributed immensely to its i'm
purities. rendering it more deleterious
to both health and life."

B~OOSEVgLT'S POSITION.
the Doctrine of the
Square Deal"
Railroads Should Be Regulated to
Give and Receive Fair Treatment
to All and Receive the Same
In Return.

President Roosevelt. addressed the
Texas Legislature at San Antonio last
week, and after thanking that body for
the passage of q resolution relative to
the Interstate Commerce Act, he briefly
defined his position on the railroad
question as follows:
"On the whole there have been few
instruments in the economic develop
ments of the country which have done
more for the country than the railroads.
/ do not wish in any way to interfere
with the legitimate gain Of any of these
great men whose special industrial Ca
pacity enables them to handle the rail-
roads 30 as to be Of profit to themselves
and OF advantage to all Of us. / should
be most reluctant-I will put it stronger
than that-I should absolutely refuse to
be q party to any measure. to any prop
osition that interfered with the proper
and legitimate prosperity of those men;
and / should feel that such q MEASURE
was aimed not only al them, but at all
Of MS, for an attack upon the legitimate
prosperity of any Of us in the long run

every word) let me further add that the
public has a right. not a privilege, but.
in my view, a duty. to see that there Is

railroads as will insure that while they
give fair treatment themselves, they
will get it in return.

HARTMAN OPPOSES MORGAN.
Eauitable Life Insurance Fight Is a
Contest Between Money Kings.

A Boston dispatch Of April IL says:
The Union Pacific mystery and the
secret of the Equitable Life fight are
out at last, and in ten days extraordi-
nary developments will occur. 1t seems
that the fight over the affairs of the
Equitable is really q contest between j.
P. Morgan and his friends ON one side
and z. II. Hartman on the other for the
control of the Union Pacific. With
Morgan is James J. Hill, while with
Hartman are Hyde. James Stillman
and Jacob Schiff.
President Alexander is merely a fig
urehead and Morgan has been the real
power behind him from the start. From
Morgan has come all the material with
which the attacks have been made on
Hyde. W. K. Vanderbilt of the New
York Central is the man who can settle
the battle, which will no doubt be the
greatest financial contest in history,
with tremendous possibilities, and one
that may overshadow the great North
ern Pacific fight that eliminated on
May 8. 1901.
Early last week 220. 900 shares of Un-
ion Pacific were transferred to Wander
bilt, and Hartman was thunderstruck.
for he had no idea that Vanderbilt
owned such a block, and with Stillman,
was confident that he had the market
we'll in hand. Hartman does not
know where Vanderbilt stands. The
directors were hastily called together
aud decided on 500. OOO, 600 in new
stock { prevent Morgan's control. He
will defeat the issue if possible.

EIGHT HOUR LAW UPHELD.
Supreme Court Says Kair Must Go
to Jail for Working Overtime.


One of the most important decisions
handed down in many years Is that
rendered by the Supreme Court Of Ne
vada, which has declared constitutional
the Act of the Legislature which makes
it q misdemeanor for a laborer EN-.
ployed in a wet crushing quartz mill
to work for longer than eight hours in
one day. In affirming the decision of
the District Court Of Lyon County the
Court held that Peter Kair. a miner,
will have to spend 80 days in the
County Jail for disregarding the law.
Last year Kair was arrested at Silver
City for violating the Eight Hour Law.
At his trial he was convicted and fined
500, or 80 days in Jail. He was i'm
prisoned and at once brought habeas
corpus proceedings in the Supreme
Court. That tribunal has passed on the
case. unfolding the law, which. it says.
is nothing more than a proper police
