} control is a turbine engine.

to control is turbine engine.
Serious objections to the re-
ciprocating engine is the "back-
pressure of steam and also the
dead center inevitable when
ever a piston is used. But "there
is not a moment in the operation
of the Crescent rotary engine
when every atom of steam is not
doing its part toward the forward
movement OF the shaft"
SO devoid of vibration is the
new rotary that as a stationary
engine it doesn't even need to be
fastened to the floor. The ten
horsepower specimen in use at the
Sharood factory has merely been
set down upon a shoe box; light
as the engine is it remains per-
fectly steady. 1t shows no ten
denCy to shift when, after it has
reached top speed, it is stopped or
reversed in an instant.
Manifestly this lack of vibra-
ton, this easy control and prompt
response to an immediate re-
vcrsal, makes the Crescent the
ideal engine for boats of every
size and for automobiles as well.
1t would give to passenger YES
sells even more steadiness than is
now secured through the turbine
engine, and readiness of con-
troll to which no turbine can
aspire. It's quite a problem, in

More than ten hours of uninterrupted

Wollaber evidently likes to see the little

For today more sunshine is promised

thirty-six hours.
Mr.. Wollaber, in continuing fair

Systemic Catarrh the Result of La
Grippe-Pe-ru.na Receives Credit

Mrs. Jennie w. Gilmore, Box a,

keeper for Indiana Reform School for

"Six years ago had la grippe which
was followed by systemic catarrh.
"The only thing I used was Peruna
and Manalin, and have been in better
health the last three years than for
years before.
II give Peruna all the credit for my
good health.''
During an epidemic of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recon-
NEEDED on the bottle are sufficient.

After the grip has once been acquired
DR.. Hartman recommends the use of
Peruna in teaspoonful doses every
hour during the acute stage, after
which the directions on the bottle
should be followed.
Experience has shown that the people
who use Peruna as a remedy for grip
generally recover sooner and are less
liable to the distressing and long-con-
tinued after effects of the grip.
When Peruna has not been used dur
ing the course of the grip and the pa
tient finds himself suffering from the
after~effects of this disease, a course
of Peruna should be resorted to.

HORSEMEN OPPOSE
CURTAIN MEASURE
SAY TOURIST TRAVEL WILL BE
AFFECTED
Pasadena Horse Show Men Are Es-
pecially Bitter Against Bill Pro-
hlbiting Importation Of
Docked Horses

Pasadena is city Of millionaires
horseman. Yesterday when 1t was
found that there was a possibility that
The Curtain bill, prohibiting the dock
ing of horses or the Importation of
docked horses into the state would pass
the legislature, there we're some wrathy
millionaire horse owners. The pride of
Pasadena was being touched, for, next
to the Tournament of Roses, the Pasa-
dena horse show lies close to the heart
Of every man of wealth who supports
a stable in the Grown City.
The bill provides that every docked
horse I'm the state must be registered
and that after the law goes into eff
feet no docked horses may be brought
into the state for any purpose.
The state senate passed unanimously
on the bill making 1t a crime to dock
horses tails and 1t will be considered
by the senate among the measures to
be brought before the sessions of the
next few days.
May Lessen Travel
There are many Southern Callfor-
mans who do not approve of docking
horses. but there are many more who
say that If the measure passes and be-
comes a law there will be a lessening
in the tourist travel west that will
rerceptibly weaken the patronage re-
ceived by Southern California from
the eastern men OF wealth who make
this their annual winter habitation.
Nearly all the high class horses
brought to Pasadena are docked and
all the millonaires who have no Pasa-
dena stables ship horses with docked
tails from their New York homes an
nualy.
Seeing their freedom in this respect
endangered the men of wealth and
means are starting an investigation
into the Curtain bill and will launch
n movement looking to it's early de-
feat. There is no doubt in the minds
of many that the measure would prove
injurious to the Southland.
II would say the measure would shut
off a great deal of travel from New
York and Chicago annually" said a
wealthy horseman of Pasadena last
night, "and the adoption of the meas
ure making it law would be one of
the most serious influences that could
be brought to bear on the tourist travel
to Pasadena and Southern California
because where they cannot take their
stylish thoroughbreds the millionaires
are not going.
Il am heartily against the bill for
this IL no other reason"
The man owns one of the largest
stables in the country and 1t is To-
Gated In the Grown City.

City Council Meets.

The city council met at a call meet
ing last Monday evening and passed on
a large pile of bills All bills but two
were allowed and these two were laid
over till next meeting. They were, a
bill of The News for printing and a
bill of Henry Mcclure for some dis
puted sidewalk The recent fire cost
the city over $500 for fire guards;
the three hitching racks, which are not
quite completed on account of the lack
of cement, will cost the city approx
mately $500 when finished. The coun-
Gil voted unanimously to pass an Ordi-
nance making it a fine of $500 for any
one to tie on North Chestnut Street,
and authorizing the city marshal to
place signs tO-that effect. This ordi-
nance will also be enforced on South
Chestnut to Philips store after sixty
days. The council voted to put in one
more cement crossing, from the Schultz
property to the Yost property on Lau-
rel Hill. Some trouble regarding the
bounds of the city limits prevented the
council from letting the contract to
put in the cement walks not laid by
private parties, and the city clerk and
attorney were ordered to confer on
the subject and report at the next
meeting. In the mean time it will be
necessary to re-advertise for bids to
lay these walks. There are about five
or six walks that the city viii have
to lay and charge up to the taxes on
the lot. The council will meet again

Tie To The Hitch Racks.

The city has placed three hitch racks
in different parts of the city at cost
of nearly $500 and they expect the
farmers to use them when they come
to town. To show that they mean
what they say they will make it fine
of $5 to tie on Chestnut st. between
the Court House and Philips store.
Farmers will find one hitch rack ex-
tending for whole block along the
side of the court house block and an
other of equal length on West Juniata
opposite Philips house. A third rack
is located in front of the city hall on
Second st. These racks are good and

1t is undoubtly true that the Missouri

Senator Curtis and ..crazy Horse >

United States Senator Charles Curtis
of Kansas is the only person with In
dian blood in his veins who ever sat In
the United States Senate. His mother
was quarter-bred Kaw and his father
an officer in the United States Army,
who saw considerable service during
the early days of the frontier.
Senator Curtis, in his unique career,
has been much in the public eye, but
probably his first appearance showed
the kind of stuff of which he was
made. 1t was about thirty years ago
in the days of the old Kansas Inter
state Fair. The great attraction of
the week was a ten-thousand-dolla
running race. Mr.. Curtis, then six
teen years old, was a black-ey
black-haired, swarthy lad, straight
and silent, as any Indian who ever
lived. Among the speediest horses in
that part of the country was raw
boned outlaw colt known as "Crazy
Horse. The mare had a peculiar
habit of baking just before the finish
line. Curtis knew this, but being in
need of money, calmly announced his
intention of riding the colt in the race.
Cray Horse" showed the other ter
starters clean heels for three-quarters
of the distance. AS the lad came dowT

five lengths, the crowd along the track

roar reached the ears of -SCrazy

launches. Curtis was hurled through
the air like meteor and landed Of
the roof of training stable, far away
with u crash. He was badly hurt
For time his life was despaired of
and he bears the mark of the acciden
to this day in the shape of an ugl,
scar.
