WAItRWORKS BIDS
 OPENED YESTERDAY
It WiIl>StiIl Require a Lot of Figuring to Find Out Who the Low Bidders Are

The bids for the construction of the proposed new waterworks plant and the material to be used therein. were opened yesterday afternoon as expect ed. The council set 2 o'clock this af- ternoon 3s date for the consideration of the bids and possibly for acceptance of one or more of them. The general comment concerning the bids is that they are pleasingly cheap as a whole, when present prices of material and labor are considered and comparison is made with contracts that have been let recently elsewhere. Comparing the bids with each other to determine which is the cheaper as a whole or in respect of certain classes of material and work, or whether the job can be done more cheaply by letting the con- tract to one man, or by buying the material separately and letting a con- tract to do the work, is the duty that now faces the city council. Superin- tendent Craig and Engineer Reed, all of whom are earning their money just at this time, beyond any peradventure of a doubt. Whether they are figuring fast enough to arrive at a conclusion this afternoon cannot be predicted
 It would be impossible to set forth in newspaper article, the details Of the bids and the prices submitted, ex-

 A ball team from the Fowler district. west of Phoenix. was down Sunday and made the Buckeye bs--s hard to catch to the extent of 13 to 12. It was not a brilliant game by any means as the score will indicate. But at times it was interesting and exciting for the players at least. Three home runs were made during the game. Two were credited to Fowler and one to Buckeye. Errors were so numerous that the scorekeeper did not have time to keep track of them. Both teams showed need of practice. It was perhaps the weakest lineup that Buckeye has en- tered a match game with. this winter. One of the men said he had not played for over a year and another one had not played for over two years. The game by innings follows. Fowler went first to bat and with six men to bat two scored. Buckeye went to bat and the first man up, Levy, knocked three -bagger, Joslin hit safe and Levy scored, Lyall famed. and \Deming smashed one hard enough to carry him safe to first, Carls hit a two-bagger, scoring Joslin. Newton found a safe one. scoring Carls and Clanton went out on a fly. Score to 3.

IN ONE WEEK ALL / SORES DISAPPEARED

"Our little girl, one year and half old, was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor said it was. We called in the family doctor and he gave some tablets and said she would be all right in a few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. ?. He said she was teething, as soon as the teeth were through she would be all right. But she still grew worse. Doc tor No. said it was eczema. By this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, so we let him try it about a week One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3. He came over and looked her over and said that he could not do any, thing more for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since 1t was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye sight was gone, but that he could help 1t. We thought we would try doctor No. ,. Well, that proved the same, only he charged Sl0 more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged. l saw one of the Cuticura advertisements in the paper and thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so 1 went and purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me s1, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improve ment, and in one week all sores had dis appeared. Of course it could not re- store the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time l am confident that it would have saved the eye. We think there is no remedy so good for any skin trouble or impurity of the blood as Cuticura. NIT. and Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. D. No. 9, Fulton, Oswego Co.,, \. r., August r., I906."

But Organizer, of chicago's Divorced
 People Says It May Be.
 Mrs. Mary Hulen, who lives at Ker- wood, one of Chicago's famous lake front residence districts, is somewhat ayerse to talking of her plans for the social club with membership con- posed entirely of divorced men and women, but wishes it understood that there is nothing frivolous about it, says Chicago special dispatch to the New York Times. Mrs. Hulen is di- vorced herself and has daughter twenty years old.
 q will say this," said Mrs. Hulen. "This is in no sense matrimonial club. If, however, it will lead divorced persons to understand better some of the underlying causes which contribute to the unhappiness of married life and enable those who may desire to make another venture in the search of home and happiness the club will not have been organized in vain."
 In a general way it is the plan of the club to have weekly social meetings at which the members will have an op- portunity to enjoy dance, a theater party or an outing of some kind. The membership will be limited to thirty, but there are already 300 applications for membership.

Americas s Most Memorable
 Christmas.
By RoBERTUs LOVE.

tcopyright, 1sO7. by Robertus Love.l
 "HE most memorable Christmas
 in American history was that of
 Ire, the day on which Wash
 ington crossed the Delaware. As e matte, of fact. Washington and his army crossed the Delaware four times during that same month. but 1t was the crossing on Christmas night that made vivid history. The picture of Swsshington Crossing the Dela- ware" framed as a cOlored chrOmO or . black and white print has been ia mfliar to two generations of Aneri- cans. But how many of us know just why, how and where Washington crossed the Delaware. what bearing that movement had upon the destiny of America, who painted the famous picture from which the familiar chromos are made and where the Origi- nal oEl painting may be seen todayT
 Driven from Long Island and New York across "the Jerseys" Washing fonis defeated and discouraged army was pursued closely by the British Un- Ger Co-nvaIlis. Washington reached Trenton Dee. 2 and began preparations for crossing over into Pennsylvania Collecting all the boats he could fnd es sent his army across the river O1 khe nizht of the Tth. following with be rszr gusrd the 1ext morning. just nE CcuvsIlis, ss the Aistg<ia1 LcsztlE

vuts 1t, "e4ne down, with great pomp and parade, to the opposite shore"
 Cornwallis expected to find boats and cross the river, capture Philadelphia, the capital of the struggling colonies, and end the rebellion in short order. But tfs willy Washington had destroy ed ell the boats which he could not hide on the Pennsylvania shore for his own future use. The British general therefore decided to walt until the riv- CT froze. so that he could cross on the Ice. Mild weather prevailed for fort night. In the meantime Washington had placed strong guards, at several lords and ferries up and down the river. the enemy also posting detach- ments at important points on the New Jersey side. Washington. with a DOT ton of his army, was encamped at Newtown, a little northeast of Bristol, Pa. The British garrison at Trenton consisted of about 1yJOO Hessians and some British light horse under com mand of Colonel RaI. . gallant Hes sian officer
 The capture of Philadelphia seemed % imminent that by advice of General Putnam, in command there, the Con- tinentaI congress retired to Baltimore The situation was highly critical The fine of service for which most of washington's men had enlisted would expire within ten days, and unless money could be had for their payment few of them would remain in the field Many citizens who had esPOused the patriot cause became discouraged and went over to the enemy.

Uncle Henry on Confidence.

There's a lot of frightened people think we're goin' straight to smash Cause some fellers down to Wall street are a leetle short of cash. Why, you'd think to hear 'em talkin' that
 the end was right in sight And that every bank and railroad would
 be busted by tonight, But I've somehow got notion that we'll
 manage to pull through, With the eagle still a-screamin' and the
 old flag fiyin' too. They've been havin' heaps of trouble
 down around New York, l guess, But I can't see why we'd ought to set
 down howlin' in distress. Let 'em sell their strings of jewels-what
 the dickens do l care? If New York should bust tomorrow and
 be scattered in the air, I've sort of sneakin' notion that we'd
 manage to pull through, With the eagle still a-screamin' and the
 old flag flyin' too With potatoes in the cellar and with wood
 piled in the shed, I refuse to set and worry or to lay awake
 in bed.
 If you ask me my opinion as to how we're
 comin' out I'll be square and honest with you, no
 mans got the right to doubt That in spite of all the growlin' Uncle
 Sam Il pull us through With the eagle loudly screechin' and the
 old flag fiyin' too. $. B. Riser in Chicago Record-Herald.

blow must be struck. The British must be shown that the Americans still had fight in them. Timid citizens In their homes must be encouraged by a dem onstratlon of patriotic yalor and mill tary prowess. Accordingly Washing ton planned attacks at several points along the river, but he could not in- duce some of his subordinate com- manders to cooperate with him. They could not cross the river, they said. But Washington could and did. He proposed to go over and give the He's ians at Trenton a Christmas after matn in the way Of daylight surprlSe the morning after Christmas, knowing that the jolly Germans would be more or less demoraiized by their hibulous manner of celebrating the anniversary.
 Washington's troops at Newtown were chiefly New Englanders. He had about 2.400 men and twenty pieces Of artillery. The weather had turned much colder toward Christmas, and on the afternoon of that day a chill storm of snow and sleet began, lasting
 
 through the night. wsshington's troops marched to McConkey's ferry in the snowstorm. MeCOnkey's was a river side inn on the New Jersey bank Of the Delaware about nine miles above Trenton. The boats previously hidden blT the Americans were collected at this point, opposite McCOnkey's house, and at dusk the soldiers began crossing Everybody knows. of course. that 'the river was full of floating ice" but Colonel Glover and his fishermen sol- diers from Marblehead did not mind that They knew how to guide boats amid cakes of ice These Msssachu- setts fishermen were placed In charge of the boats

 General Washington crossed the riv' or 4 little before midnight. The h. mates of McCOnkey's house were astr practically all night. brewing big jo- runs of hot and steaming punch, which the cold and weary Continental officers drank with eager zest It is related that early in the morning hours Wash invton himself stepped into the Inn and found some of his young officers inclined to loiter by the fire and in- dulge in extra pOtatiOns. There was more serious work on hand. Washing ton. it is said, drank just one stout "snifter'' and ordered his officers to be about their business. McConkey's house still stands. and the place is known now as washingtOn's Crossing
 Washington divided his forces into two bodies. one to march down the river road and attack the enemy from the west. the other to enter the town from the north The commander in- structed all bis officers to set their watches by his. % that the attack might be made simultaneously at every point.
