The question whether Chicago may
employ as sanitary inspector Charles
B. Ball, Notwithstanding that he had
resided in New York prior to his APP

Judge Hanecy on the ground that he

Mayor Schmitz's Trial Begun.
Great difficulty was experienced in
Snding an acceptable jury to try Mayor
Schmitz of San Francisco on the
charge of extortion. inasmuch as The
prosecuting attorney charged the supe-

lathg the jury lists so as to
Dring saloon and tobacco men
into the jury box, or others sup
posed to be friendly to the accused
mayor. The police chief was also ac-

some Of the accepted jurors COM

A CITY OFFICIALS OPINION.
Why Municipal Plants Are Operated at
Disadvantage.

Professor George +. Sever Of Column
bia university and for several years
consulting engineer of the department
Of water supply, gas and electricity of
New York city, was recently called
upon by the Syracuse lighting commits
sion to give expert advice as to the de-
STABILITY Of that city's embarkinG upon
municipal ownership of its electric
lighting. According to the Syracuse
Post-Standard, Professor Sever ex-
pressed the opinion that the city could
not produce lights at as low a cost as
they are now furnished by the SYRIA
cuse Lighting company, and stated
various reasons why municipal electric
light plants are not conducted as effec~
lively and economically as plantl
owned by public service corporations
To quote:
HE said that his investigation Of
the subject convinced him that the
management Of municipal plant was
hampered by the laws governing mu-
nicipality. The superintendent did not
have the same advantages in making
thC
immediate action, as when acting for n
corporation. The length of time re-
quired for proceedings for an expendi-
ture by municipality, be said, might
be dangerous to the success Of the
plant. RE further stated that there ap-
peared to be no incentive to highly eff
cient men to take charge Of munich
pal plant. He did not believe that n
superintendent of municipal plant
would show the same interest in the
management Of the plant as If serving
a corporation which gave him large
degree of power in making any changes
deemed necessary. A city, he thought,
would demand honesty and only fair
amount Of technical skill Of its super
intendent. and chances for change Of
administration would not promise the
reward for efficient service that might
be. expected of private company"

Freight Charges on Fair Exhibits

Farmers, fruit growers, dairymen,
and stock raisers who contemplate
exhibiting at the State Fair this sum.
mer will be interested in knowing ex.
actly what arrangements have been
made with the railroad officials for
the handling of freight.
Every railroad entering or making
connections with other roads running
into Detroit will transport livestock
and property on the following cond,-
tions:
The freight must be receipted for
as entirely at owners risk, and in
case of livestock the usual contract
must be executed.
Charges from point Of shipment to
State Fair must be paid at full tariff
rates.
Upon presentation OF the original
bill OF lading or contract and paid
freight bill, within 10 days after close
of fair, together with certificate sign
ed by secretary of the fair, that ar.
ticles rendered for return shipment
are unsold, exhibits which paid full
tariff rates one way, they will with
the exception of horses as noted be.
low be returned free over the same
routes, at owners risk to the original
forwarder at the original point of ship
ment.
In the event of change of ownership.
full tariff rates will be collected For
the return.
If exhibitors wish to show at an.
other fair before returning to orig
inal point of shipment, charges to such
fair (if on the line of the original
railroad which hauled the original
shipment to Detroit) will be assessed
at half tariff rates, and will be re-
turned free to original point by roads
that carried same.
Horses for exhibition purposes only
will be returned free Except on the
L. S. & M. S., Wabash and ID. T. & I.
roads, on the same conditions as 9th.
er livestock, but this privilege is con.
fined to the state of Michigan only,
and will not apply to horses original
ing from beyond the confines of the
state.
The Grand Trunk has established q
permanent station at the grounds
called "State Fair" and all shipments
for exhibition should be billed for this
station.
The Glade" the Midway Plaisance
of the State Fair will be enlarged this
year and will contain the greatest
number of clean, refined, and instruc-
tive entertainments ever seen in Mich
igan. A fine list of shows has been
arranged for and attractions may be
seen ranging from the deep sea-
divers to the smallest man in the
world.
|, Among the entertainments that
have been provided for young and old
will be: Trained animals, real

fair Offices in charge of the "Glade"
will revoke the permit of any attrac.
tion that does not come up to the
high standard of moral tone that they
have set.

]. Edward Boeck. abounds IN mar
vels Of high finance and startling cpl.
sode. 1t appears that Boeck had be,
emperor Of China during his stay in
Peking and had obtained from him the
promise Of concessions which would
be worth at least $100O00,000. They
included the operation of q steamship
line to Shanghai and other mercantile
connections. The only thing that stood
in the way of realization was the I'M
friendliness of the dowager empress.
Nevertheless wealthy New Workers

she could not live long and that after
her death things would come their way.
Rate Law Is Constitutional.
The United States supreme court
rendered n decision in the case of
Georgia lumber firm against the South
ern railroad unimportant In itself, but
which indirectly sustains the power
of the interstate commerce commission
under the federal rate law to fix rail
road rates. The commission had de-
cided that an increase OF 2 cents a
hundred on lumber from Georgia to
the Ohio river was unreasonable and
unjust, whereupon the railroad carried
the matter up to the highest court,
which now sustains the action of the
commission.

A MISTAKEN POLICY

Under the provisions Of the new Oklahoma
constitution it is believed there will be but little
railroad construction work in the new state for
several years Undoubtedly the convention
honestly attempted to frame measures that
would protect the people against the aggressions
Of the railroad. But, in doing this, the dele
gates have gone too far. Oklahoma viii be dis
crimated against by the railroads, and the un-
developed sections Of the state will probably
wait long time for railroad facilities
The railroad problem is too big for any one
state to attempt to handle. The United States
government alone can deal effectively with the
question. The LaFollette bill for the appraise

EIabit-forming Medicines

Whatever may be the fact as to many
Of the sO-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some journals of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been OF great benefit in arousing needed
attention to this subject, II has, in a
considerable measure, resulted In the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected OF containing the injurious ingre-
dients complained Of. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. T., took time by the forelock,D as 1t
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients OF which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has COM
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOsITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots of
medicinal plants found growing In the
depths OF our American forests and of
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead OF alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases of diseases, becomes highly objec-
tionable from its tendency to produce a
craving for stlmulants, DR.. Pierce en-
ploys chemically pure, triple refined
glycerine, which of itself is a valuable
remedy in many cases of chronic diseases,
being a superior demulcent, antiseptic,
antiferment and supporting nutritive.
1t enhances the curative action of the
Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black
Cherry bark and Bloodroot, contained In
vGolden Medical Discovery in all bron-
chial, throat and lung affections attended
with severe coughs. AS will be seen from
the writings OF the eminent Drs. Grover
COe, of New York; BarthoIOw, of Jetfer-
son Medical College, Phila.; Scudder, of
Ellingwood Of Chicago;
Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand
as leaders in their several schools Of
practice, the foregoing agents are the
Ve1V best ingredients that DR.. Pierce
could have chosen to make up his fa-
nous vDiscovery" for the cure of not
only bronch Il, throat and lung affec-
tions, but also of chronic catarrh in all
Its various forms wherever located.
