PETITION NOT READY,
Committee Looking Up Transfers Of
Past Year to Have Petition Corr

eSSN'uS W "
Past Year to Have Petition Corr
rect.
The dnterurban petition was not pre-
sented to the city council Monday
night as expected. owing to the fact
that the committee has not yet fin
ished the work of checking up the list
with the transfer record of 1905. While
the petition already has more than
enough names to insure good major
ity, the committee does not want 1T to
go before the council until it is abso-
lutely correct.
The transfers during 1905 are now
being gone over at length, and COM
parison made with the list. If a free
holder, as certified by the auditor, is on
the petition, care is taken to see that
he has not disposed of his property
since the auditors list was compiled.
If he has it is necessary to ascertain
whether he has bought since the trans
fer in question. This makes an end
less amount of work, and 1t will take
several days before it Is completed.
The committee will know, however,
when this work is done, that it's petition
is without flaw, and will bear the
closest kind of inspection. Already over
800 names have been checked over for
the last time, and are beyond question
as to right to appear on the petition.
Tl.is number is above what is really
necessary for a majority.

kidneys-Cures Rheumatism.

All medical authorities are agreed
that the blood is the great source OF
disease or of health in the, human sys-
TEN. If the blood is pure, the indi-
vidual Is strong and healthy, if the
blood Is impure or diseased then there
Is sickness or decay in the whole sys-
tenn.
Rheumatism is strictly a blood dis
ease. 1t is caused by excessive uric
ecid. Sores, pimples, etc, mean bad
blood Catarrhal affections must be
treated thru the blood IT'D get per-
tnanent results. To get well, to feel
strong, hearty and vigorous, one must
have good clean blood arid lots of it.
you can't clean the blood thoroughly
unless the kidneys are made active.
Bad blood means clogged, inactive kid
neys and liver which causes, too, such
symptoms as backache, nervousness,
bladder and urinary. difficulties and
other sympathetic troubles.
Il There is simple home remedy and
the prescription for making 1t up Is
as follows:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-haf
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces. Shake well in & bottle and
take In teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime. The in
gradients can be obtained at any good
prescript ionyp pharmacy at small cost.
Here the readers of this paper have
q simple yet powerful and effective
remedy for all forms of blood, kidney
and bladder diseases which should re-
lieve rheumatism and catarrhal affec-
. tions and replace that weak, worn-out
Indifferent feeling with strength. vigor
and health.
This prescription is considered by
the best physicians as fine system
3cenovator and being made. of vegetable
extracts only is harmless; and anyone
cal, mix 1t at home. Try this anyway
before investing in the secret unknown
eoncoctions of the patent medicine
manufacturers.

CITY WILL PAY LABOR
Council Decide. Not to Wait on County
TO settle Bills for Detention Hospital
Work, and Will Have Claimants As
sian Claims to City, Which Will Sue
County If Necessary.

The dispute between the city council
and the board Of supervisors. as to
whether the city or county is RESPONSE
BILE for bills incurred in the repairs to
the detention hospital, was again aired
in the adjourned session Of the council
Monday night. The temporary solution
Of the problem is that the city will pay
the mechanics and laborers employed,
so that they can get their money at
once, have the claimants assign their
claims to the city. and the city bring
suit against the county If the bills are
not settled.
Chairman Mcdonald, of the claims
and accounts committee, reported that
he had seen both Messrs. Jones and
Arney. of the board, and that neither
had given him any satisfaction as to
the county's liability. Mr.. Mcdonald
quoted the Northwestern Reporter in
a Polk county case, in which the con-
ditions are practically the same as
here.
In the Des Moines case Judge Weav-
er held, after the case reached the SUI
preme court, that the county was liable
for bills contracted by the board of
health, when properly certified to the
county auditor.

across the land While members ex-
pressed themselves that they consider
ed the case nothing but a "holdup" they
were unanimous in the opinion that it
was cheaper to settle than to go into
court.
On the ten-acre tract, where the city
wells are situated a right of way was
reserved by the owner of whom the
land was purchased that he might
cross. There was a strip sixteen feet
wide on the north end, which c. 7. La
Plant, who then owned a farm adjoin-
ing the city property, agreed to re-
lnquish for an additional sixteen,-foot
strip on the south end, making a thir-
ty-two foot strip on the south end, over
which Mr.. LaPlant could cross. In
making the deal the old council, it is
now claimed. gave an absolute title to
Mr. LaPlant to the additional south
sixteen-foot strip. C. T. LaPlant later
sold the farm to his son, who now holds
the deed to the strip.
~ While Mr.. LaPlamt has never made
the city any trouble because of his
holding, City Solicitor Burritt says
there is nothing to prevent him from
fencing up the strip if he so desires.
When the matter was brought to the
attention of the council few months
ago the city solicitor was instructed to
interview Mr.. LaPlant and see if the
land could not be decided back to the
city, so as to avoid any complications
should the LaPlant land ever be sold.
Mr.. 1aPlant'S price was $35 with the
retention of the right-of-way. prev
iously agreed to- which the council has
now decided to pay.
Solicitor Burritt believes the deed
could be set aside in court, but the
council thinks it is cheaper to settle
out of court
