WILBUR II. KRAIlEi&.

r. last weeks issue Of the BAN
NER, We published an accounc Of
The Patterson Smoker. At the
conclusion Of this account APP
peared the following words:
"Mr. W. II. Kramer appears to
he gaining ground rapidly in th
fifth ward, and we feel quite con-
tident that he will carry it,.
These words were Intended
merely as bit Of irony, feeling
certain that every one was fami'-
lar with Mr.. kramer's remarkable
popularity in the fifth ward, but,
as several Of our friends seem 70
have placed the wrong coE~uc-
tion upon them, and fearing others
may have done the same thing,
we hasten to publish this corfec-
ton.
The writer visited Patterson,
and while there, met nearly all o.
the citizens of the fifth ward, ana
was pleased to note that, to a
man. they favored the re-election
OF Mr.. Wilbur II. Kramer ds
Clerk Of Court. He is faithful,
consistent and reliable friend To
the Patterson people and they
thoroughly appreciate him.
In connection with this, We are
pleased to note Mr.. Kramer has q
good following all over the parish
and his election by a large ma
jority is a foregone conclusion.

FINE FOR LAUNDRY FIENDS
Washington Campaign for Cleanliness
and sanitary Improve
ment.

In the city of Washington the health
authorities are conducting a vigorous cru
SADIE against the proprietors Of unclean
lunch rooms, restaurants and lodging
houses. or those wherein insanitary condi-
lions OF any sort prevail; all manicuring
and chiropody establishments, whether in
public or private premises, have recently
been brought under the same health regu-
lations as barber shops. and now all the
washerwomen in the District Of Columbia
and anybody else there who hab1tually
takes in" washing" are to be registered,
so that their premises may be regularly
visited and Investigated by the health in
speotors as a precaution against the COM
munication Of disease or filth or vermin
through this channel.
s a result of a superficial canvass only,
the health authorities estimate that fully
700 persons in the District take in
w~ashing'-most of them negroes, presum-
ably-but upon the expiration of the thirty
days only 1855 OF them had registered. So
the anti7dirt, anti-dlsease crusade is 10 be
extended to the 1900 and more delinquents.
The movement has come none too soon.
And 1t might. with profit and satisfaction,
be extended to all other siZable cities and
towns. To have ones table and bed linen,
towels. handkerchiefs n underclothing
secured in a tub or washboiler along
with those Of others-any Tom. Dick or
Harry, or Mary who happens to put put

anyway; and most of us would no doubt be

This field for the health-protection cru

the municipal authorities everywhere would
stop the regular laundry establishments
from using chemicals that rot shirts, col

Charcoal Purifies
Any Breath
And In It's Purest Form Has Long Been
Known As the Greatest Gas
AbSorber.

Pure willow charcoal will oxidize almost
any odor and render It sweet and pure. A
painful in a foul cellar will absorb deadly
fumes, for charcoal absorbs 100 times Its
volume In gas.
The ancients knew the value OF charcoal
and administered It in cases Of illness. es-
pecially pertaining to the stomach. In
England today charcoal poultlces are used
for ulcers. boils, ETC., while some physl-
clans Ia Europe claim to cure many skin
disea ses by covering the afflicted skin with
charcoal powder.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges go into the
mouth and transfer foul odors at once into
oxygen, absorb noxious gases and acids
and when swallowed mix with the digestive
juices and stop gas making. fermentation
and decay.
BY their gentle qualities they control
beneficlally bowel action and stop diar-
rhoea and constipation.
Bad breath simply cannot exist when
charcoal is used. There are no ifs or and'
about this statement, Don't take our word
for 1t, but look into the matter yourself
Ask your druggist or physician, or. better
still. look up charcoal In your encyclopedias
The beauty Of Stuart's Charcoal Lozengei
is that the highest pharmaceutical expert

WONDERFUL RIFLED PIPE LINE
Means Employed In Carrying Cali
fOrnia OIL to Sea
Coast,

The most remarkable pipe line in the
world, a line Of eight-inch pipe 22 miles
long, has Just been completed In the Cali
fornia oil fields. 1t runs from OIL City, in
the famoGs Coalinga country, to the sea-
board near Port Costa, and It's length is the
least wonderful thing about 1t.
In this immense tube, with pumping sta
tions twenty-four miles apart, a complete
inner tube OF flying, whirling water keeps
the heavy crude oil from the steel pipe.
The we'll known antipathy of oil aid water
keeps the carried fluid and the carrier
apart, but until the autumn of 1867 this
comparatively simple principle had not been
brought into use and the problem OF the
transportation of oil was the greatest the
producers of the west coast had to face.
Now this great obstacle has been removed
and Harriman's engines on the Southern
Pacific and the furnaces Of his steamers
which are soon to ply the Pacific will be
fed from this line. by which 1900 to 10000
barrels Of thick fourteen-degree fuel oil can
be moved over one of the twenty-four-mile
sections every twenty-four hours.
The pipe line, which. by the way, Is the
invention OF John d. Isaacs, consulting en-
gineer OF the Southern Pacific company,
and Buckner Speed, Is first rifled. These
rifles. or corrugations. are about one-eighth
OF an inch in depth and make one complete
revolution Of the pipe line in every ten
lineal feet.
Instead of heating the oil to thin it and
make it travel the more easily through the
pipe, as is the custom on all the Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana and Virginia lines, the heavy
black fluid in this case is shot into the pipe
cold, with a 10 per cent addition OF water.
The centrifugal force given to the whole
mass by the rifling of the pipe. throws the
water to the outside, forming a perfect
sheath or coating in which the oil travels
completely separated from the guardian
water. This film between the oil and the
pipe naturally reduces the friction to q
great degree, as well as carrying along th'
oil at a much greater speed than thinner
oil of higher gravity, which is much easier
to move, has ever been carried before

KNOCKING A WORLp.WlpE avn
Various sides of Tipping Nuisance,
the Victims and the Bene-
hciaries.

Like the tariff, the tip is a tax, and the
tip gatherers are alert as the tax gath
erers in levy toll. Originating in the
occasional bestowal OF a coin in recogni-
ton OF some special attention or service,
tipping has grown into a gigantic and
universal system. An unwritten mini
mum scale Of fees has been established,
and fees are expected by attendants as a
matter of right, even when they have
rendered no special service, or, perhaps,
no service at all.
Head waiter. table waiter, bell boy. head
porter, luggage porter, chambermaid, boot
~black-they are all ION the regular list"
The substantial tip sent to the chef by a
man who wants his viands prepared in a
particular manner or with unusual care Is
not In the same category. He Is voluntarily
paying for special service and otherwise
need never think of the cooks existence.
The smart walter who wants always to
obtain his dishes in the best condition to
please his patrons and elicit liberal tips
finds It expedient to regularly fee the chef,
and thus there are tips within tips.
In the railway carriage, on the ocean
steamship "the tipping nuisance" pursues
the traveller. and even guests in private
residences cannot escapt 1t. The amount
OF tips expected by servants In country
houses is so large that persons OF small
means are unwilling to spend a few days
as the guests Of wealthy friends. In Eng
land this abuse has become so great that In
some of the finest country houses notices
are now posted in the bedrooms requesting
guests to refrain from feeling the servants
and boxes are placed in the halls, to be
unlocked only when the season ends, for the
reception of such gifts as visitors may be
lmpelled to make for distribution among the
servants.
There are two sides to the question
three sides, indeed for the managers,
walters, and public look at it from diff
ferent angles. The problem would not be
solved by adopting a suggestion that a
fixed percentage be added to the bill for
service. because this would only increase
the cost to the client and tips would grow
on top OF this. There is a sound reason
for giving tips, for where special service
has been exacted or special attention has
been received, but there is no denying the
fact that the system has grown to be, in
many quarters, a serious abuse,-New York
Herald.

NOTTHE RUSTlN TRAGEDY Gun
Revolver Found in Sewer Of Neither
Make Doctor Chose.
PAwNBRoKER FAILS TO IDENTIFY
Council Buns Dealer who o I Fred
RustIn y Pistol says the skele-
ton Found is Not the
One.

Theories that mystery surrounding the
death Of DR.. Frederick Rustln would be
cleared or at least lessened by the dis
covery OF a revolver in the sewer catch
basin at Twenty-ninth avenue and Harvey
street by a sewer gang Thursday have
fallen flat by the fact that the gun Is
neither Of Colts or of liver johnson make.
After working on the theory that the gun
might be the missing weapon in the Rus
tin case, Chief Donahue said:
There is nothing in the idea at all. 1t
was not Rustin's gun, and probably could
not be Davis either, as he did not carry
one"
When w. F. Gurley, one of Charles E.
Davis attorneys, heard Of the discovery
of the gun in the sewer. he visited the
police station with the idea of gathering
additional Information connected with the
case, but said afterward that he had moth
ing new in the case.
II is known that DR.. Rustin wanted 10
buy a Colts revolver not long before his
death, and also that II was an liver John
son gun that he eventually bought, so the
fact that the weapon found in the sewer
is a cheap Harrington & Richardson re-
v~olver, in the minds of the police, gives
still less .credence to the idea that the
latter has anything to do with the Rustin
case.
Only the Frame Left.
Both cylinder and hammer are missing
from the gun recovered by the sewer gang,
and the location of the catch basin from
which 1t was taken also indicates that the
Harrington & Richardson revolver is prob
ably not the one which has been searched
for ever since the tragedy. The corner
OF Twenty ninth avenue and Harvey street
is about a mile east and one block south
of the home OF the Rustin family, where
the shooting is supposed to have occurred.
The only point Of similarity between the
gun found in the sewer and that used In
the Rustin case Is the fact that both were
of 80 caliber.
Chief of Police Donahue made an effort
to have the gun found in the sewer identi-
fled at some pawnshop, or other place
where 1t may have been bought. 1t was
taken to Council Bluffs Saturday morning
Rustin a revolver a few days before the
latter's death. The secondhand man said
he did not sell the Harrington & Richard
son gun.
The condition of the weapon found in
the sewer would indicate that 1t had not
been there for as long a time as has
elapsed since the morning of September
2, when DR.. Rustin died. Slight rust on
the barrel shows that 1t had been car
ried into the sewer or placed there within
a month or six weeks.
