MI. charles A. Massie agent for the Pris-
oners' Aid Society, thinks there should be
some provision made for the appointment
OF guardians for those of the United States
pensioners who habitually get drunk and
squander their money in few hours after
they receive 1t. Many such cases come to
his attention during the performance of
his duties about the Police Court, he said.

BILE with them
one prisoner, Barney Hughes, a veteran
OF three wars, was in Judge Striders court
TINS morning. He had about $40 left of the
Sl2o pension money he received ten DAYS
ago. Last night he was arrested on Penn
sylvania avenue in an intoxicated condition
Barney claims he is 10i years old. He par
uclpated IN the war of 1872 the Mexican
and civil wars, and was willing to enlist
In the service during the recent conflict
with Spain, but was SO badly disabled that
lie could not enlist. He has the scars of
many wounds about his head BODY and
arms, and has been unable to perform anv
LABOR for number of years. His tongue
was SCARED by a bullet and he has an i'm
pediment in his speech.
During recent years he has lived in Balti-

pension, which is invariably followed by his
becoming intoxicated and getting in trou-

Wasting Away

It's the small but constant loss
of flesh that indicates physical
waste-the gradual slipping away
of healthy flesh, pound by pound,
which no ordinary food seems to
restore. SCOTS Emulsion will
restore it. This Emulsion is the
greatest flesh builder obtainable.
SCOTS Emulsion first stops the
wasting-that's one gain. Then
when it supplies new flesh and
takes one b a ck to orma
strength and weight, that's an
other gain, and a big one.

said Mayor Macrae yesterday evening I'VE
Will show it that we can make a few rules
ourselves. ] am not prepared to say just
now what steps we will take in this mat

of the police force shall be carried free
en- the motor cars when on duty whether
in uniform or not. This was intended by
the franchise under which the motor COM
pany is now understood to be operating.
1t is a grave question whether the street
railway company has any franchise in
Council Bluffs. The ffty-year extension
Of the franchise just prior to the code of
1897 going into effect was declared null
! and void by the supreme court and the
Suburban's company's charter, under which
| the motor company is understood to be
/ now operating has also been questioned.
II is contended by lawyers who have given
the subject attention that the Council
Bluffs, Lake Manawa & East Omaha Con-
struction company was merely copartner-
ship and not corporation, and as such
could rot legally acquire a charter from
this city. In any case the whole matter
will be referred to the city's legal depart
ment and it will greatly depend on its
advice what steps we shall take to bring
the motor company to recognize the rights

that point, Young Selbys cries brought
Bell To his assistance and he brought the
boy safely 10 shore Bell made several at

SPECIAL MEETING CALLED
Board of Trade and Citizens Will Con-
 fer Concerning Cave Creek.

The following are copies of eXplana- tory documents which mark the begin ming of a movement for protecting both public and private property against the ravages of Cave Creek in flood time. Various lines of action have been sug- gested but no formal steps have been taken except the reference made to the situation in the legislature. The first document was nurnerously signed and presented to J. A. Marshall, president of the Phoenix and Maricopa county board of trade yesterday and reads as follows:
 Dear Sir: We. the undersigned, citizens and taxpayers of the city of Phoenix and county of Maricopa, be- lieving that some action should be taken to prevent future recurrence oE the damage and inundations caused by the flood waters of Cave Creek, the which not only cost this city and county a large sum of money but have also threatened the foundations of the capitol building of the territory. Be lieving as we do that these flood wa ters could be for comparatively small sum, controlled and diverted into New river where their uninterrupted course would do no damage to our town and country property, we suggest to you, as the president of the board of trade
