Effort of Citizen to Have Investigation
 eaa,asu. ASr. Se sewers; wTemr.;;special.,--Th regular monthly session of the City Council met last night with the full board present It proved to be the most largely attended meeting held In tine matters had been disposed of Cap tain J. M. Elliott, Chairman of the Committee appointed by the Commer- cial Club to investigate the sewers heard and read a resolution adopted by his committee which requested that the City Council appoint a committee and employ an engineer to assist the Commercial Club Committee in it's in- vestigations.
 After Captain Elliott had finished, Mayor Smith took the floor and ad- dressed the audience on behalf of the board of Mayor and Aldermen. He took occasion to defend that body. AL derman Christopher moved that the Committee be appointed, but at this juncture @ general discussion arose among the Aldermen and citizens and the situation became sensational Tn if there would be trouble. but better judgment prevailed and the discussion became more conservative. repre- sentative of the construction company made short talk in which he asked that the committee be appointed and said that his company courted inyes- tigation. Alderman Christopher could not get second to, his motion and 1t was lost. The meeting was then ad- journed.
 Mayor Smith said: we can find nothing to sustain the charges of the committee. We appoint every citizen of Gadsden committee to investigate the sewer system at any time and at any place."
 Captain Elliott said: "The sewer investigation will be carried on re- gardless of the refusal of the City Council to cooperate with the conn mittee."

REBUILDING San Francisco.

The more conservative citizens OF
San Francisco have set 10 years as the
time necessary to rebuild their city,
and estimate the cost at about 400
million dollars If you are trying TO
build up your system that has become
weakened as a result of imperfect di
gestion and cOnstipated bowels we
would urge you to commence taking
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. You'll
find it wonderful help, as it will re-
store the digestive organs to their nor
NAL condition and aid Nature in ex-
tracing all the health giving and sus
tanning qualities from your food. Thus
it cures headache, dyspepsia, indiges-
ton. biliousness. constipation, general
debility, heartburn, poor appetite. fiat
ulency. chills, colds, female ills or ma
laria, fever and ague. BE sure TO try
it at once, but insist on getting Hostel
ter's. Something else" won't do in
its place

DURAND, THE BRITISH
AMBASSADOR, TO RETIRE
Has Been in Diplomatic Service Since
1873 and Has Spent Practically
All Time Abroad.

! Washington. Nov. S.-Sir Henry
Mortimer Durand, ambassador OF
Great Britain to the United States, vii
retire from his mission in Washington
next spring. His successor, not yet
chosen, will come TO Washington to
take charge of the embassy on
March /. The ambassador told Secre
tary Root of his coming retirement
yesterday. AS far as can be learned
Sir Mortimer is not leaving his post
here for any other position, and, after
his return TO England, probably will
retire from public life entirely. He en-
tered the British diplomatic service in
1873. when he was sent to Persia. Dur
ing the entire period between then and
now the ambassador has been on for
ei@n service for his government, with
the exception of one year. He has
been back to England for month or
two occasionally. but for the last 81
Years has spent practically all of his
time abroad.
Washington, Nov. S.-Lord Curzon,
former viceroy of India, is mentioned
IN diplomatic circles as a possible sue
cCssOr to Sir Henry Mortimer Durand
the British ambassador. who is to give
ip his post and retire from the British
diplomatic service at the end of the
year. The fact that Lord Curzon is
now on his way to this country lends
color to the rumOr of his appointment
to the Washington post
