LAWYER TRIES TO
DOWN ORDINANCE

Efforts will be made in the trial of
the city against Ell Guthrie & COM
pany for the violation of the ordi-
nance regulating the placing of
signs over public highways, to have
the ordinance declared unconstitu-
tional. During the holidays the firm
stretched cloth sign on the awning
over the sidewalk in front OF the
store, 322-324 Broadway. An ordi-
nance passed in the summer by the
general council transfers the power
Of regulating the placing of signs to
the board Of public works. Before
the sign is placed in position a de-
sign must be given the board and
permission granted.
In police court this morning Guth-
rie & company was repI esented by
the Hon Charles X. Wheeler, and In
brief statement to the court, ne
mentioned several apparent flaws in
the ordinance. The title of the ordi-
nance repeats previous ordinance
and creates a new ordinance with
penalties for the violation of II, and
the power of regulating the sign is
delegated from the general council
to an inferior body.
Another point of contention win
be the question Of the cloth. Rea-
soning that the scope OF the police
powers is to protect the citizens and
property from injury, the question
arises whether the cloth sign comes
within that scope.
In order that the attorneys may
review authorities, Judge Cross con-
Itinued the case until next Monday
morning.

The Body Merely Machine.

There are just any number OF dis
eases In which the Osteopathic is the
only treatment that will give any re-
lief at all.
The various phases OF neuralgia
and rheumatism as an example yield
more readily to the Osteopathic
treatment than they do to medicine.
SO too do lumbago, chronic head
aches, partial paralysis and kindred
ailments, and to one who knows the
first princlpals~o Osteopathy 1t is
easily to see why this Is so.
Osteopathy is a scientific system
OF exercise for the nerves and organs
of the body-simply manipulation
by which II restores structural nor
mallty. TIE body Is a machine ran
by unseen forces called life, and that
IL may run tremendously II is neces-
sary that there be liberty Of blood,
nerves and arteries from the gene
rating point to destination. This Is
what osteopathy does--gives liberty
to the blood. nerves and arteries.

A TRUE STORY.

Once upon a time. a number OF
reporters were sent 10 keep the
death watch with a condemned man.
They were personally curious about
the feeling and conduct OF human
being, who, was condemned to die.
The idea of anyone being compelled
to die was novel enough, to arouse
their interest. They piled the man
with pertinent and impertinent eues-
lions. which he answered imperturb-
ably. They went away. TO return
next day to commune further with
him. and they were wonder stricken
at the calmness of a man, who had to
die. On their way the next day, one
of their number was struck by a
wagon and killed. The others visited
the condemned man, who inquired
solicitiously after the absent one.
He was told Of the young mans un-
timely death. The condemned man
smiled a smile of pity, and said;
Poor fellows, there isn't much diff
ference after all. The only advant-
age / have over you, is that ] know
the time limit within which l must
die. and am prepared, and protected
against harm meanwhile; but you
don't know when your sentence is to
be executed"
