Mayor 'Dahlman has asked the members
of the council to meet him as a general
committee in his Office at o'clock Friday
afternoon to take up the matter of order
ing thorough investigation of all the
financial records and accounts in all
branches of the city government back for
a term of years extending over the period
of the last incumbent. 1t is the inten-
ton both of the mayor and some of the
councilman to employ expert accountants
to work with the comptroller's office. Al
the same meeting it is intended to start
planning for an improved system of au-
diting and checking.
The mayor says he does not believe 1t
necessary to go back more than two years
in the accounts of former City Treasurer
Hennings, as he is satisfied an investiga-
ton made by bond company at that
time is conclusive in showing anairs TO
be in proper condition.
'The new council intended to make a
thorough check as now outlined" said
Councilman Brucker. The expose of tho
methods used in the police court simply
brought the matter TO development lit-
tie quicker than would have been the
case otherwise It is proposed to go over
the record involving the expenditure OF
money for all purposes

is wrong, but we wish TO satisfy ourselves

Deputy Comptroller Cosgrove and an as
sistant are still checking over police court
accounts. but have not reached a stage &c

Mayor Dahlman resents the report thai
he has failed to sign pardons for city
prisoners. He explains that the system
employed requires his signature after thu
prisoner has been released from the city
Jail by verbal orders through the chic
of police, and the record has been mad

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
HOLIDAY TRADE HAS CALL
Steady Gain, In Distribution of Winter
Goods-Supply Of Labor Still
Inadequate.
R. G. Dun G Co.'S "weekly Reviev

X. q. Dun d Co. s "Weekly Review
of Trade" says:
Holiday trade monopolizes atten-
ton, although there is q steady gain
in distribution of winter goods as the
temperature becomes more season
able. Some irregularlty is still noted
in collections, attributed to high
money rates or failure to market the
crops. This would make the one ad-
verse feature of the commercial sit
uation indirectly due to these three
most striking evidences of prosperity,
scarcity of men, money and railway
facilities.
"The inadequate supply of labor is
attested by numerous increases in
wages at textile mills and in many
other occupations; the financial sit
uation is shown by the heavy deficit
of the associated banks and the sixth
measure of relief this year by the sec
retary of the treasury. and complaints
about freight blockades are numerous,
one shipper at the South stating that
hundreds of tons of pig iron have not
yet started, although the cars were
loaded in October
"There is little idle machinery at
leading manufacturing plants. the ur-
gency for quick delivery being most
noticeable at steel and cotton mills,
and all are well engaged
"A few quotations for iron advanc'
ed during the last week, notably
Bessemer iron and light rails, but In
most sections of the market there was
stability, and purchasers of pig iron
for delivery during the last half OF
1907 were reluctant to contract at
present prices.
High prices were fully maintained,
the only element of weakness being
supplied by country hides, on which
concessions are obtainable because de-
mand is confined to tanners of upper
leather. Leather is strong, especial
ly sole, and much quiet absorption OF
hemlock and union sole is attributed
to expectation of another advance.
"At the exchanges dealing in the
leading farm staples the only inn
portant influence of the week was sup
piled by the official reports"

A TRAVELLING Knife.


Truly ingenious is the device which
cleans the pipe lines that carry crude
petroleum. AS the oil passes through
the conduits paraffin incrusts the
sides of the pipes, and proves a SER
ious hindrance to the free passage Of
the oil. The device used to remedy
this evil is knife about two feet
in length, with a sharp edge, con-
structed like the thread Of screw;
indeed the knife resembles a huge,
headless screw. 1t is slightly small
er than the pipe through which it is
to pass. When the crust of paraffin
renders cleansing necessary, this
instrument is inserted in the pipe.
The pressure Of the stream Of oil
drives it forward, revolving rapidly
as it hurries along, and scrapes the
channels clean, finally dropping into
the receiving tank.

illness has its origin in constipation, and

cathartics, which, when first used, have a
beneficial effect, but the dose has to be
continually increased, and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest effect.
There is one preparation, however, that
can be relied upon to produce the same
results with the same dose, even after
fifty years daily use, and this is Brand.

Tells Their Trade,

Nearly every trade has its peculiar
malady. Blacksmiths are liable to
paralysis of the right side, due to the
shock of hammering with the sledge,
and they are also liable to weak eyes,
caused by the glare Of the forge.
Carpenters are liable to varicose
veins, because they stand so much,
while continuous saving tends to in
jure the artery that carries the blood
from the heart to the right arm.
Bakers and miners, the one through
the white dust of flour and the other
through the black dust Of coal, get
weak lungs. Miners get weak eyes,
too, from working 80 much in the
dark.

CLAIM GIFT OF TONGUES.
Members Of New Sect Suddenly En-
dowed With Ability to Speak CHI
nesc and Greek.


Power to heal the sick, to prophesy,
and the gift Of tongues like that which
enabled the first apostles to preach
the gospel in strange lands, are all
claimed by the members of the Church
of the Full Gospel, new religious
sect which in the past three years
has sprung up in Colorado and grown
with remarkable rapidity.
In an old church on the corner Of
Nineteenth and Welton street, the
congregation in Denver, which now
numbers 800, holds its meetings on
Sunday for regular service. Every
Wednesday afternoon meeting is
held at which it is claimed the power
of Divine healing has been again and
again manifested. The Rev. G. F..
Fink is founder Of the new sect. The
pastor of the Denver congregation Is
the Rev. S. A. Brelesford. Fifteen
young men are now preparing them
selves to become missionaries In for
eign fields. Most of them understand
no foreign language, but they will
leave In the faith that this difficulty
will be overcome through divine aid.
The claim is made that in the pres
ence Of many people members Of the
church have already been gifted with
tongues they never heard before.
Ethel Brelesford, the 12-year-old
daughter of Pastor Brelesford, is said
to have recently spoken in Chinese.
James Diltz, assistant roadmaster Of
the Rock Island, recently resigned to
become a missionary. He, too they
say, can speak Chinese. Others have
spoken in German and Spanish, and
two were gifted with the Greek lang
uage.
