OBJECTION TO COMPROMISE

Supervisor Broderick was inclined TO
accept the suggestion OF D'Ancona. He
pointed out. however, that the board
might adopt the 50 cent rate again
with the expressed understanding that
1t did so to conserve its rights in the
impending suit. Supervisor Johnston
spoke in opposition to the compromise
proposal.
Supervisor Murphy quoted a Mssis-
sippi decision holding that when a
company once went voluntarily below
an established rate. it could not then
complain that the established rate was
confiscatory
Britton complained that the company
was not making any money on the IS
cent rate. He said he thought his
directors might accept a 81 rate AL
though he added. the company feels
that it can not sell gas at a profit for
less than 81; in fact. that it can not
really do 1T at 81 rate
Some time later in the conference
Britton said that in 1852 the company
sold gas at SIS per thousand feet
But there was no money in it," he

GAS COMPANY FIRM
FOR DOLLAR RATE
D'Ancona Makes Tentative
Compromise Proposition for
Charge OF 95 Cents
Britton Promises to. Place the
Matter Before His Board
of Directors

The peace conference between the gas
company and the board of supervisors
ended yesterday, with honors even.
After somewhat prolonged pour parlers
Supervisor DAncona suggestedithat the
gas company quash proceedings and ac-
cept the SIS cent rate as a beginning.
President Britton of the gas company
came back with the proposal that the
city confess judgment and accept the 81
rate. Then there was some further
talk. Just before adjournment Dan
coma made what lie called a tentative
suggestion for compromise. 1t pro-
vided for 95 cent rate. Britton said
he would place the matter before his
directors.
D'ANCONi OFFERS COMPROMISE
The compromise suggestion put for
ward by D'Ancona was prefaced by a
few sentences of explanation.
Il wish to suggest a tentative basis
OF compromise" said D'Ancona, "and
DO 1t for the reason that the people are
paying at the present time 81 for their
gas, and that even if We re-enact the
50 cent rate the people will continue to
pay IL and that we will have merely a
paper rate of IS cents; and. further
more, with an s5 cent rate there will be
no extension of the plant.
Il suggest that the present litigation
continue to its ultimate determination;
that the company stipulate that If the
compromise rate as agreed upon il will
not be used in the present litigation;
that it shall be regarded as an armistice
rate; that II the city wins the pending
suit it retain the entire excess of Is
cents that If the company wins. it
agree to take no more than the COM
promise rate; that If we fix a rate of 90
cents the company, If it wins, collect
only 10 cents per thousand of the i'm
pounded surplus; that 1t make extern
sions into the new districts without
cost 10 the consumers. and that it place
all complaints received at its Office at
the disposal of the citys inspector. 1
present this in a tentative way. without
attempting to bind any of my collea CUES

conditions are met j should favor a 95

Four Years in Rural Route
 Service

Andy Cox rounded out the fourth year of his service for Uncle Sam us rural mail carrier on Route Aug. 31.
 During this time he and his substitutes have handled 169, ,024 pieces of mail, 136,543 having been delivered and 324,81 col lected. Of these there were 143 registers; 33,017 letters; 9O16 cards; 77,954 newspapers; 12, ,831 circulars and 3,182 packages.
 He sold S561.45 stamps and postal cards and his cancella- tions amounted to Ss95,56. Mir. Cox began on 8 salary of S648 per year. Later it was raised to S700 and now he is drawing 5000, his pay for the time he has been in the service being in excess of 5000, or about six times the amount the government has realized out of the route.
 Taking it forgranted that Route is an average route and it is-it doesn't take much juggling with these figures to see what the government is do- ing for the people in order to maintain rural route service.
 It does look as if the people should try very hard to help inn prove the service by the main : tenance of good roads.

A Neglected Interest

Because of the many duties in- doors and out which take up the parents time there is a tendency with the vast majority to pay slight heed to another interest of equal or greater importance, the district school. Of course it is taken for granted by school pa irons, and is in most cases true, that competent teacher has been hired who will conduct the work in satisfactory manner, but this notwithstanding it is better from the standpoint of teacher, pupils and patron if the latter gets into the habit when opportunity offers of visiting the schools in 8 help ful, friendly spirit with view to encouraging the teacher and get ting first hand knowledge of conditions which prevail there. Were this done more generally by parents many serious misun- derstsndings might be avoided between themselves and teachers and spirit of cooperation devel- oped which would be beneficial from every point of view. Par ents would understand better than they do the trials and vex- ations which the average teacher has to put up with, teachers would come to know their pupils better by being acquainted with the parents, while pupils would realize that an understanding ex- isted between teacher and par. ents would make it impossible for them were they so inclined to distort or misrepresent incidents or conditions existing in the school. In the event that the teacher was seriously at fault in her methods of government or really incapable the knowledge that patrons will get from visit- ing the school frequently would enable them to take such action as would be just and fair to all concerned.

Cures Dyspepsia;
 Trial Is Free

l. is 6 popular mistake that only wealthy people who eat rich and highly-spiced foods suffer from dys- pepsia, or, as it is also known, indi- gestion The laborer in the street, the worker in the field also finds him self victim of this disorder Among the very greatest sufferers from it are women.
 Dyspepsia Is indicated by a constant feeling Of laziness, by loss of appetite and troubled sleep, by sour stomach and dis tlcss after eating, by bad complexion and lusteriesS eyes.
 There is no surer and speedier cure for this trouble than Dr. CaldWelPs Syrup Pepsin, which dyspeptics have been using successfully for twenty years. This great herb laxative compound cured Capt. Clark, Of Buffalo, la, of dyspepsia and sour stomach that he had had for forty years, pr. Caidweil's Syrup Pepsin. It cured Joel Adams, of Montgomery. Ala, after aufferinG continuously for sixteen months. These arc only few of the many. But t Is not expensive to be cured with this grand remedy, as it can be bought at any drug store in a 50-cent or $1 bottle.
 Your very ncighbors are probably life- long users Of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, but # you want to know without expense what 1t will do for you personally. send your name to pr. Caldwell and he will be glad to send you a free trial bottle. He io actually anxious to have you make a test of his remedy.
 Thousands of families everywhere keep 1t In the house against such an ener- Rency as constipa tion, sour stomach, in- digestion, biliousness, dyspepsia, heart burn, torpid liver, etc, which may come on Q member of the family any day. It is pleasant to the taste, acts gently and does not sripe. It Is the great children 8 laxative tonic.
