Against That Rainy Day.

The farmer is demanding higher
prices for his farm products; the
transportation companies are
threatening to increase rates; the
railroad employees, the carpenters

handing higher wages, and there

prosperity seems to still be in the

HIS FIRST ENGAGEMENT.
How the Soldier Who Ran from the

Col. Mosby, who commanded the
Mosby guerrilfas during the civil war

commands were never questioned.
They would undertake the seemingly
impossible at word Of suggestion

At JAMESTOWN
September IL will be a Great Occas-
ion at the Exposition.

September p will be Maryland
Day at the Jamestown Exposition,
and there is every indication that
it will be the biggest and most
brilliant event of the great fair.
The day is not only a red letter
date in Maryland history, but it is
also the birthday of the Star
Spangled Banner and thus it has a
national significance which will be
fully recognized this month when
the United States authorities will
cooperate with the Marylanders in
making the celebration splendid
success.
The program will be divided in
to three parts: First will be the
exercises in the beautiful auditor
ium which has been given over to
the Marylanders for the day. The
speakers will include Governor
Warfeld of Maryland, Governor
Swanson, of Virginia, President
Tucker, of the Exposition, Direct
or General Barr, Captain Frederick
NJ. Colston, chairman or the Mary
land Commission, Admiral Win
field Scott Schley, Colonel lanes
r. Randall. author of "Maryland
My Maryland,' United States
Senator William Pinkney Whyte
and others. The music will be
the finest heard at the exposition
and will include the great organ
with an orchestra and brass band
and full chorus. Maryland,
My Maryland" will be sung with
the author leading The Star
Spangled Banner" will be sung
from the original manuscript by
Mayor Smith of Frederick, where
Francis Scott Key is buried.
After the exercises there will be
a reception with refreshments at
the Maryland Building for the
Marylanders and their friends and
tent will be erected to accommo-
date the overflow, MARYLAND has
made the record for hospitality
and special efforts will be put forth
to increase it on Maryland Day.
In the afternoon there will be a
review of the troops by Governor
Warfeld and the reviewing stand
will be reserved for the Maryland
ers.
The Maryland Building at the
Exposition remains the center of
popular interest 1t is praised by
many as the handsomest on the
grounds and all find a real home

ton opened and the number Of.
visitors has passed the 100000
mark. The building is not only
wonderfully interesting in its his

a place for Marylanders to rest and
enjoy themselves. The building

HOLIDAYS DELAY
STREET PROTESTS
COUNCIL LAYS OVER SEVERAL
IMPROVEMENT BILLS
Guava, Sixth and Arnold Street Work
Delayed Week Till Formal
tiles Can Be Dis
posed OF

Because of the legal holidays a number
hearing before the city council yesterday
were laid over week.
Protest No. 1913 from G. r. Hubbs ct a..
against the sewering of Guava street, be-
tween Avenue Fifty and a point 300 feet
west, was scheduled. The city engineer
consideres the sewer needed to meet the
request of property owners who reside on
this street, and the health department ad-
vises that it is advisable to have the
sewer constructed on account of the un-
suitable nature of the soil for cesspools.
This protest, the board of public works Is
Informed, represents nonresident owners,
or owners of property who have sewer
facilities on other streets. The board
recommends that the protest be denied
and the ordinance ordering the sewer
placed upon it's passage.
Protest No. 1046 from j. o. Warren ct
al. against the proposed improvement of
Sixth street, from Commonwealth to Ver-
mont avenue, was returned with the fol-
lowing report: Total frontage In district
OF assessment, 2947 feet; necessary for
majority, 1874 feet. The protest repre-
sents on its face 2432 feet, which has been
verified upon the assessors records. This
latter amount is a majority, hence the
board recommends that the protest be
granted and the proceedings abandoned.
Protest No. 1047 from L. A. James ct al
against the including in the proceedings
for the paving OF Sixth street. from Bixel
to Commonwealth, that portion of Sixth
between the west side of Hoover street
and the east side of Commonwealth ave-
nue., was returned. The protest repre-
sents the entire frontage on both sides of
Sixth street, between Hoover and Com
monwealth, and the board recommends
that the protest be granted upon condi-
tion that the protestants pay all costs in
cident to the present proceedings and that
the city engineer be directed to prepare n
rev ordinance for the improving of Sixth
street from Bixel street to the west side
of Hoover street only and to provide for
the repeating of the ordinances in the
pending proceedings for the paving of
monwealth avenue.
Petition No. S42 from John Cross ct al,
asking that certain portions of Arnold
street be vacated between Iona drive
and Colina avenue, thereby reducing the
width of Arnold street to fifty feet from
it's present width of sixty, was returned.
I'VE do not see that there would be
any special advantage to be derived by
the city in granting this request, and in
asmuch as Arnold street is sixty feet in
width, extending in both directions from
the portion sought to be made narrower,
we recommend that the said petition be
denied" the board reported.

WANTS NEW OUTLET
TO OUTFALL SEWER
COUNCIL MUST FIND FUNDS IN A
HURRY
Tunnel and Pipe Through Hyperion
Sand Hills, Where Break Recently
Occurred, Are Inadequate to
the Demands

The finance committee of the city coun-
Gil will be called upon to settle way
to gather $1,000 to pay for a new outlet
to the new outfall sewer.
The city engineer has presented to the
board of public works an urgent matter
in connection with the outfall sewer.
The tunnel through the sand hills at
Hyperion constructed as a part Of the
old outfall sewer reaches the surface
about As feet above tide and few hun
dred feet east of the beach.
When the old outfall was constructed
24-inch cast iron pipe was laid down
the slope connecting with the pipe on the
wharf. In the opinion of the city en-
gineer this pipe, although now large
enough to carry the sewage on its steep
grade, will be inadequate when more ter
ritory in the city is severed.
The city engineer recommends that a
42-inch reinforced concrete pipe lined
with brick be constructed from the end
of the tunnel to the wharf
He estimates the cost of this pipe to be
$1,000 if done by the city, considerably
more If let out by contract.
Attention is directed to the fact that
the recent break occurred at this point,
and should another occur the result
might be very disastrous and the cost
several times the cost of the proposed
pipe.
The repairs already made, however, put
the pipe in as good condition as formerly
for the time being. The city engineer
does not, however, feel that the present
condition is safe or satisfactory and
urges immediate action.
This work is not a part of that con-
templated under the bond issue of 1903
known as the sewer 1903 fund, but is a
part of the old system which was intend
ed to be used permanently in the condi-
ton in which it existed at that time.
The city engineer suggests that this
work be done by day labor and that
authority be secured at the earliest date
possible.
The board yesterday recommended that
the city engineer be authorized to con-
struct the pipe recommended by him by
day labor and that the council provide
the necessary fund to pay for the cost,
and the question was laid before the
finance committee.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
1t q sun bath to sweeten 1t. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
q churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that If this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of foul stomach Is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
It does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
II you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
