MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL.

The City Council met in reg
ular session last Monday will
Mayor Laughlin in the chair
and Messrs. Delahoussaye, Rem.
oudet, Stansbury, Fisher anc
lndest present. Mr.. Rober
S. Bell the newly elected Secre.
tary was present for the frs,
time. There was not much
business before the body, but
what little there was, had a spe-
cial bearing upon the city affairs,
An ordinance was introduced
setting forth that inasmuch as a
great number of houses had not
been fumigated during the pres
ence here of the single case OF
yellow fever, and whereas, some
of those who had been fumigat-
ed had paid the bill of the Col
lector when presented, and.
whereas, Others had refused and,
whereas, there was no authority
to collect these bills under the
law, it was resolved, that all
amounts so collected be return
ed to the persons who had paid.
Adopted.
The total amount SO collect
ed was sIsI.55. This will be
returned upon the presentation
OF the receipts given by the col
lector.
MIR. Renoudet brought up
the matter of collections from
property owners tor sidewalks
that had been built by the cor
poration. Ii was stated that
hese should be collect ed by the
City Attorney. 1t was decided
however, to give the citizens
one more chance to pay. The |
Collector is to notify those who
owe that they must pay inside
of ten days or the bills will be
turned over to the City Attor
ney to bring suit.
Mr.. Renoudet called atten-
ton TO the bad sidewalks in the
city and said that they ought to
be put in good condition. The
properly owners ought to be
notified to make the repairs at
once.
MIR. Stansburry said thag to
his personal knowledge the 1
owners had been mott 8
fed in many instances, but had I
refused or neglected to make !
the repairs or build the walks. .
MIR. Fisher said he also knew :
the property owners had been !
notified. :
Mr.. Renoudet suggested that Z
the Street Commissioner take :
The measurements of the walks
hat need repairs or building
ind that the city build them and {
,ollect from the property. a

he had personally served tn,
notices upon the property own.
ers, and that they had not done
anything. Some of them re.
fused to have the work done.
He kept no record, however,
of the service OF the notices
upon the property owners, and
it was decided on motion of Mr..
Renoudet to notify all the prop
erty owners and TO keep a re-
cord of the service. Then if
the work is not done in twenty
days the city is to build the
walks and collect from the prop
erty.
City Engineer Guiltoux, ex-
hibited the city map on which
he is working. 1t is uncomplet-
ed, owing to the amount OF
work required in hunting up the
records OF the boundaries of the
various properties. He was
granted a sixty-day extension of
time.
A letter was received from
Mrs. Grant, President OF the
Unsectarian Aid Society, stat
ing that there was a family here
which should be sent to another
place in order to preserve the
health of those who are still
living and asking the Council to
a share of the ex-
pense since the Unsectarian Aid
Society could not bear it all.
The council decided to set aside |
so for its share of the fund.
Chief Mestayer asked per-
mission to change the hours of
he force so that part would
work from IL TO IL and the
,ther part from IL TO IL. 1t
vas decided that the power to
:hange the hours, rested in the
chief and Mayor.
Mr.. Delahoussaye brought
'p the matter of skating on the
idewalks which it was said was
dangerous for the skaters and
he pedestrians. 1t was the
plnion, however, that the craze
'ouldr die out shortly and that
here would be no need for an
rdinance.

Jennings, Oct. 5.-The Jen-
nings-Heywood Oil Syndicate's
we'll No. II was brought in
yesterday with one of the great
est gas pressures known in the
history OF the famous field.
The well is producing txe-.
thousand barrels e6s5R per day,
and on accou9t>oi the tremend-
Gus pressure of gas is beyond
contruf.
Although running wild the
owners OF the well are very
much elated over the pressure
of gas and it is believed that the
held has renewed energy and
that wells that were formerly of
little value will be affected by
similar pressure OF gas and
transformed into profitable
wells. H.
1t is expected that the ]
will settle down in the courses
time and prove to be one of the
best brought in OF late.
thus again is it demonstrate
ed that the output OF the Jen-
nlngs field is not diminishing
very rapidly despite the reports
to that effect.

WHY MONEY is TIGHT.

New Orleans Oct. Sin
recent weeks the South has had
cause to wonder why money is
harder to get for the present
crop moving season than here
tofore. An official of the HIib-
ernia Bank and Trust Com
pany OF New Orleans, who IS in
close touch with financial affairs
throughout the cotton and sugar
belts, sheds this light on the
sltuatlon:
"Crops are large, but the ex-
pansion of industrial develop
ment has been more rapid than
has been the expansion of work
ing capital in the South. The
tightness of the money market,
however, is temporary only for ,
the reason the South today of I
ters many splendid investment
opportunities which arcattract-
ing capital in increasing volue."
In New Orleans alone more
then ten million dollars worth
of new buildings are now in
course of construction, while
more than double that amount
OF money will be required to
construct hotels and monster
sky-scrapers planned or con-
tracted for. Within three
weeks the New Orleans under
ground sewerage system, COSY
some twenty milliaxsa<
will be opened IT'S nos
while the first mesto
complete new puSe water system
have just been let by the Mum

HEATING SYSTEM,
II any one is in doubt as

the deslrablllty of heating house
by steam the system now it
place at the Alma House shoulc
be inspected. This has beer
installed, tested and tried anC
to say that it is satisfactory i
putting it mildly. 1t operate
so nicely and is bound to max,
the house SO uniformly com
Portable IN winter weather tina
there is no doubt but the same
system will be found in many
houses before the cold weather
sets in.
The Ribbeck Mfg. Compa
ny which placed this system
the first of its kind in this vi.
cinity, in the Alma House is
already figuring on placing the
same system of heating in more
than twenty houses here in the
city and in the suburbs. The
indications are that the company
will have its hands full very
shortly.
This system is known as the
low pressure system and 1t is in
much vogue in northern places
where heat is a necessary artl-
Gle for SIX month of the year.
While there are quite number
of pipes connected with it they
do not show and an inspection
of the Alma House reveals only
the handsome radiators which
are really an ornament to the
rooms. Beneath, in the cellar
is the boiler where the steam is
generated and here is where the
economy comes in.
In this climate too much heat
Is not necessary and the boiler
Is so arranged that the amount
of caloric needed can be regu-
lated to nicely. A house can
be kept at an even tcmpreture
simply through the boiler where
the fire is at the will of the
owner. 1t is seldom that these
boilers or heaters require at
tending to more than once or
twice day for they are auto
matte and once the desired
amountof heat is decided upon
and the heater regulated accord
lngly there is no more trouble.
he apparatus was tested the
other day at the Aim House.
A fire was built and the radia-
tors fixed so that a certain tenn
perature was maintained for a
gwen period. 1t was found
that the system worked perfect
y. There was not an objection
Of any kind to the whole ar
MIR. Hatch, the
of the hotel was
much pleased and the guests of
he hotel are assured that during
he coming winter they will
nave an even temperature in
heir rooms no matter what the |
temperature may be on the
outside.
For private houses this sys-
EN- is most admirable. 1t does
way with the necessity, for
everal f1reS and their accom-
'anying litter. 1t is easier to
Iandle for the reason that there
; but one fire to look after and
most of the looking after is done
automatically. 1t burns less
uel and gives steadier heat
nd the householder has less to
'orry about. For this reason
would be we'll for those who
ave thought of changing their
eating arrangements to inspect
lie system at the Alma House.

Loss of Power
To Digest Food.

The most important function Of the
organs of the body is the digestion and
assimilation of food, and in this pro-
cess is consumed an enormous quantity
Of nervous energy.
AS the result the moment disorders
OF the nerves arise, digestion is impair
ed, and the very source of health,
strength and vitality interfered with.
To prevent physical bankruptcy the
nervous system must be built up by
outside aid such as the use of Dr. A. w.
Chase's Nerve Pills, preparation COM
posed of the very elements of Nature
which go to form new blood and nerve
cells.
Besides this restorative influence on
the whole system, Dr. A. W. Chase's
Nerve Pills have an immediate and d.
rect effect on the digestive system They
stimulate the nerves of taste and in
duce a good flow of saliva to aid diges-
ton. They excite the glands of the stom-
ach and produce a plentiful supply OF
gastric digestive fluids. Dr. A. w.

MlNNEOPA PARK DEAL.
Papers in the Case Are Now Being
Drawn Up BY Attorneys.

From SATURDAYS Daily.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press has the
following to say of the Minneopa park
deal:
After years delay an agreement has
finally been completed by which the state
acquires the necessary land for the Min
neopa state park. Attorney General
Young has effected an agreement with
f. l.. Buck, the owner of the land around
NIinneopa Falls, by which the state
acquires twenty five acres of land. The
price to be paid for this land is $4,000.
Abstracts of title to the lands are being
made, and the transfer will be completed
in few days.
The acquisition of the land for pur-
poses of making it into a state park was
decided upon by the last legislature,
which appropriated $4,000 for the pur-
hase of fiftyf four acres or part there
of around the falls. The attorney gen
eral was directed to purchase the land
if it could be done, or else start con
domination proceedings to acquire it.
Mr.. Young and Gov. johnson made an
inspection of the land last fall, and Sc
lected about forty five acres for park
purposes Attempts were made to pur-
chase the property, but no agreement
could be affected with the owner, and Mr..
Young had intended to give up. He be
lieved that since the park would be al
most entirely for the benefit of Mankato
people they and not the state ought to
pay for the park. He had intended to let
the matter wait until the legislature
meets and recommend the repeal of the
act.
The citizens of ATankato through a
committee waited upon Mr.. Young and
urged him to take action. They told him
that under the law it was his duty to 90
ahead and acquire the land for the state,
no matter what he might think as to the
merits OF the act. III was practically de-
termined to start condemnation proceed
ings when an agreement was affected
with Mr.. Buck.
The law provides that the state audi
tor shall have the care and supervision + f
the park. 1t also makes it misdemean-
or punishable with a fine of from $40
to 500 or imprisonment of ten to ninety
days willfully to destroy or injure any
trees or plants in the park.
Minneopa Falls resemble the Minneha-
ha Falls to a great extent. They are
not as large, but many consider them
more beautiful. They are located a cou-
pie of miles south of Mankato on the
Omaha line.

Rate Act Prevents Exchange OF
Mileage for Advertising.
THAT IS THE CLAIM MADE.
Lawyers, However, Differ in Their
Opinions; May Need Decision
From the Higher Courts.

ST. Paul, Aug. "a report comes
from Chicago to the effect that one of
the members Of a committee of Western
railroads appeared before the interstate
commerce commission at Washington
was informed by that body that under
the new national railroad law it will not
be lawful for railroads to issue trans
portation in exchange for advertising in
newspapers. Railroad officials of the va
rious lines running through the twin
cities have been reused to q considerable
amount of discussion over this question
and are awaiting with interest some
public expression from the interstate
commerce commission on this matter.
The provision of the new rate law af-
fecting transportation of persons does
not take effect until the close of the
year, and whether the railroads will
keep on with the practice of eXchang
ing transportation for advertising after
the general bill goes into force and be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion has made any public utterance on
the subject, remains to be seen.
IF the newspapers and the railroads
cannot exchange such services under the
law" local railroad official remarked
today, sit will hit the country newspa-
pers pretty hard. These newspapers US
ually have Il great deal of space which
they can well afford to use in inserting
advertisements for railroads in exchange
for transportation. The city papers will
not be hit so hard because their space is
valuable for other purposes. If the di-
and money must be paid both ways,
there will be less advertising on the one
hand and less riding on the other
A number of Eastern roads, including
the Pennsylvania, the New York Cen
trail, the Baltimore & Ohio and others,
discontinued this direct Exchange the
first of the present year, but it was
from purely business reasons.
Several local railroad attorneys. have
expressed opinions on the subject, but
they differ widely, some holding that the
new law will make such exchanges un-
lawful on the theory that the transpor
tation can be sold for no other price
than that published in the tariff sheets,
while. others contend that the exchange
of mileage for advertising is entirely
legal and the transaction really is on
cash basis.
1t has shrewdly been intimated that
certain railroads have raised the point
only for the purpose of making the rate
law unpopular with the state press and
thus creating sentiment against it in
quarters heretofore strongly favoring
rate regulation and control.
