T0CORRECI ERROR
BOARD OF LOCAL IMPROVE.
MENTS WILL HAVE BIG
SEWER LOWERED.
DISMISSAL OF SCHULTZ
Subject of Controversy Between Ex-
Assistant Engineer and City
council--Former Dsclaims
Bad Intent.

The Board Of Local Improvements
met yesterday afternoon, more Is
pecially TO consider the matter Of tn,
! Commercial avenue sewer abov,
Thirtieth street, 270 feet of which
needs TO be lowered in order to NEE;
/ the plans and specifications relating
TO its construction. The Board voted
that bids be advertised for to lower
the sewer said bids to be submitted
TO the Board next Monday
The Board also directed Contractor
Williams 10 do something toward
making Washington avenue below
Fourth street, passable. Mr. VIII
Jams will probably put in the con,
crete work, and then throw the
street open 10 traffic the same as
on Sycamore and Poplar streets.
Several other matters OF minor i'm.
portance were discussed.
The matter of the discharge of As
sstant City Engineer Schulze was not
touched upon up to this time, it he
ing considered settled; but when a
motion to adjourn was pending NJ
Schulze arose and demanded oil The
mayor why he had been dismissed
Judge Lansdcn Of citys counsel re-
piled for His Honor explaining that
the action was pursuant 10 advice
from the citys attorneys and was
based upon letter which Mr.
Schulze had witeu to City Engineer
ThistleWoOd
Mr.. Schulze asked that the lettes
be read to the Board and Judge Lans
den read it. Il was written from
Oklahoma, shortly before Mr.. Schultz
was engaged to return to Cairo. In
it Mr.. SchuIze suggested to the City
Engineer that he become a silent
partner in 4 firm to bid on sewer cor
tracts in this city Mr. Sculze pre-
posed that each put up $4,000, he to
be the head of the company and the
only known member of the firm He
assured Mr.. Tsistlewood that they
could make five or six thousand dol
lars Of easy money.
Mr. Schllze said he could not see
anything wrong in the proposition
certainly he had no criminal intent in
writing it. He thought the person
who took the letter from the city
engineers private files and gave II
TO the mayor was guilty of something
worse than the worst construction
that could be placed upon the writing
Of the letter.
City Engineer Thistlewood said he
ia not answer the letter and that
It had been stolen from his private
files. He wished to know from the
mayor who had given il to him. but
His Honor refused to tell, saying il
was handed to him on the street.
A demand that the letter be given
lp was refused, and the board ad
ourned.

SHERMAN TALKS
ON SOUND MONEY
Republican Candidate for Vice
President Dodges the
Live Issues.

New York. Sept. 25.-In an address to-
day before the Commercial Travellers
Sound Money league, which was formed
in 1886 and has been revived for every
presidential campaign since then, James
S. Sherman. the republican candidate
for the vice-presidency, today made a
spirited attack on Mr.. Bryan's free sill
yer record. The country. he said. should
not lull itself into fancied security by
what he called the tactful silence of the
democratic presidential candidate on this
subject in this campaign. He argued that
the election of Mr.. Bryan should insan-
ity overtake the people and lead TO such
a result OF the present campaign, would
endanger the gold standard, for no one
can say that the pied piper of Nebraska,
II elected, would not wander off into the
cloudy dreamland of his financial va
carries.
Thereafter Mr.. Sherman's speech was
an eulogy of the gold standard. to the
establishment and maintenance of which
by the republican party he ascribed the
prosperity that followed the victory over
Bryan in his first campaign
''One of Mr.. Bryans most quoted say
ings." said Mr.. Sherman, lis that pro-
lection has slain it's thousands: the gold
standard has slain Its tens of thousands
In his many changes he has not given up
his hatred of sound money. He answers
not word to a pointed question in Chi
cago whether he would maintain the gold
standard If elected.
This country cannot afford to put
sound money in jeopardy 1t cannot af-
ford to trust the gold standard to its
professed foe. The benefits enjoyed from
il have been and are too rich and mani
fold to be imperilled for the profit of a
partisan leader"

NEBRASKA BANKERS.
Letter From J. j. Hill and Address
by Prof. J. L. Laughlin.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. ga communi-
cation from James ]. Hill and ad-
dressed to Professor James Lawrence
Laughiin of Chicago university were
features of the Nebraska bankers con-
vention today. Mr.. Hill declared the
bank guaranty scheme the latest
financial fad He asserted that for sew
eral years the railroad officials had
been the object of incessant attacks
Concerning recent legislation he said:
THE American people are a good
deal like the child that plants and
waters a seed or shoot and then digs
it up every morning to see if 1t grows.
We heap statute on statute without
moment for rest or recuperation. The
effect on business has been exactly
what the process would lead us to ex-
pect. 1t has suffered as man would
who should buy every patent medicine
advertised ir the market and try them
all at the same time on his own per-
son."
Professor James L. Laughlin dis
cussed the various phases of the bank
ing guaranty question.

PERFECT RECOVERY
Is DUE TO CUTlCURA

with the exception Of his hands and
feet, my son Clyde (thirteen years old)
was almost completely covered with
eczema. Physicians treated him for
nearly q year without helping him any.
While they were very kind and did all in
ieve him. And had tried many rem
edies sent to me by kind friends but they
all failed. His head, face. and neck were
covered with large scabs which he would
rub until they fell OF. Then blood and
matter would run out and that would be
worse. Many a time he looked as il
his ears would drop of. Friends COM
ing to see him said that II be got well he
would be disfigured for life.
When it seemed as il he could pos
sibly stand it no longer, l decided to
cura Soap, a box Of Cuticura Ointment.
and bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. I
used them in tho evening and that was
the first night for nearly a year that he
slept. This may sound exaggerated
to you, but in the morning there was a
great change for the better. In about
six weeks you could not have told that
he had ever had anything wrong with him.
/ treated him twice day for six months
and at present he has fine complexion
and not a scar on his body. This story

WHOLE CABINET
DOING STUNTS
Politics to Exclusion of Bust
neSs-Secretary StrauS
Exceedingly Busy.

Washington, Sept. 25-The failure of the
National bank of Colgate, Okla, evoked
much interest among cabinet officials to-
day in view of William ]. Bryan's ref
erence to that institution as an evidence
of the desirability of a law guaranteeing
bank deposits, and it was expected the
matter would come before the cabinet
meeting. Referring to the failure, Sec
rotary Straus OF the department of COM
merce and labor said:
1T is we'll for the public to know
what the facts are concerning this bank.
The president of the bank in question
CThe International Bank of Oklahoma)
owed the bank something over 5000 and
to the Southwestern Banker of Kansas
City. Mr.. Whitson, the assistant bank
commissioner, is the authority for the
statement that the bank was perfectly
solid; its cash and sight exchange was
go per cent of its deposits In view
of the fact that the officers were in
debted to the bank in the amounts state
at the time the bank was permitted to
qualify under the guaranty law. it is hard
to understand why the bank was closed
for an offenSe committed prior to the
time ii was permitted to operate under
the new guaranty law. A telegram dated
September q, received from the secretary
of the bank board of Oklahoma, says that
the bank commissioner has closed one
bank and the amount Withdrawn from
the guaranty fund to pay the claim o.
depositors is 24S43.I3, all of which has
been paid back to the guaranty fund from
the LIQUIDATION of the assets of the closed
bank In other words, the bank was en-
tirely solvent when ii was closed. Why
the closing of it was brought about to
make a campaign exhibit l leave for the
