CAPTAIN SLIGH
 AUDITS BOOKS

Capt N. B. Sligh began yesterday the work recently assigned to him by the finance committee of the city council of auditing the books of all city officials who have anything to do with the collection or disburse- ment of the city's revenue. Capt. Sligh is an expert accountant and it is quite certain that his work will be accepted by all classes of citizens as correct when he will have fin ished it.

MEXICANS WOULD
 BUY MORE

Washington, Jan. 50. - United States Consul Duhaims, of Saltillo, Mexico, reports prevailing high prices on nearly all the necessaries of life in that part of Mexico. Exhorbitant prices on imported mer- chandise are the rule, rather than the exception. Many families visit the United States to purchase their supplies direct. A large quantity of goods is brought in by parcels post. The building up of this parcels post trade with the United States causes the local merchants some alarm, which must eventually result in their realization that to be successful in business they must he satisfied with reasonable profits based on larger sales. The march of progress and prosperity in Mexico is indicative that the time is not far distant when the majority of the Mexican people will look upon as neressaries of life many com modit,.s rt" regarded lux' !es a'l goods lre now used ,s McNi1ans to very limited extent owing to the prevailing high prices, so the adop- tion If the modern commercial sys- tenn of inu easing trade by placing these commodities at prices within reach of the masses would benefit alike t';e producers, merchant; and consumers.

BLACKBURN SIGNS
 VICKSBURG TEAM

In the lineup of the Vicksburg team, as furnished by Manager Geo. Blackburn yesterday, the name of Cook appears among the infielders. It is stated that Cook is now anxious to return to play with the Vicksburs team the coming year. It will be remembered that in the early part of last season Cook, then a promising youngster, became dis satisfied and jumped. He stated sub seauently that he had been knocked by certain members of the club. He also signed at a very low salary, and when he learned that other men on the team, poorer than he, were getting higher wages, he chafed about the matter. One of the direc- tors remarked yesterday that Cook had real grievance, for if man is worth anything to a ball team, he is worth a fair salary. Cook now wants to come back, and it is probable that if there is anything in the youngster, Manager Blackburn will bring it out. - Vicllsburg, tMiss.), Post.

The skating contest between Will lie RoZier of Little Rock and Will lie Burton of this city, which was scheduled at the Bijou last night. was reduced to a walkover for the former, as Burton quit after going a few laps, and stated that his skates had gone wrong.

WIZ No, Aceep, Wage Cut.
terling, Va, May rs, 1895.

The telegram operators of the Baltl-
more and Ohio, representing the
Wheeling; Pitt.burg and Conneilsviile
divisions, held an important meeting
AZ the 5tafnn house, Wheeling, Sun
day to complete the work of meeting
,.eld recently at Fairmont, at which
they unanimously decidedly not to ac-
cent any reduction in wages after the
new eight-hour law, enacted at the
1907 session of the West Virginia leg
islature becomes effective. 1t is under
saood that former resolutions were
adopted to accept no cut. The fact that
operators are at this time very scarce
on all the divisions, leads 10 the belief
that the company will make conces-
sions rather than take chance of stop
ping traffic, for short time, at least,
by strike.
The national law limiting the days
work of telegraph operators to eight
hours will take effect the 4th OF March
1905. and it is believed that by that
time the operators will receive the
same wages for eight hoars work as
thee now receive for ten and twelve.

WEant Puzzled Her.
mo.

A woman whose religious education
had been received in the plain edifice
erected by an unassuming New Eng
land congregation was persuaded,
much against her will, to attend di-
vine service in one of New York's
most snowy churches. She showed
from the start that, Notwithstanding
her puritanical training, she was in
terested in the proceedings. She studied
the elaborate ceremony, the architec-
ture, the richly TINTED windows and
altar decorations closely. By and by
her eyes became fixed on the ceiling.
Her friend wondered what particular
feature of those lofty heights held her
attention for so long time. During a
lull in the chanting Of the choir she
tried to find out.
sOh,n said the New England wo-
man IN tones of infinite concern, "I
was just wondering how on earth thew

to restore them; yet great many OF us
do not stop to think how little rest we
give our stomachs. AS usual thing
no part of our bodies is so generally
overworked as our digestive organs. A
tired and overworked stomach will
give signs of distress to which we pay
no heed until at last Dyspepsia takes
hold. Indigestion is just warning,

easily avoid further consequences.
