WATER WORKS BILL TO COME UP
senator Expects No DIM
Guilty in Passage.

Guilty in Passage.
City Clerk A. w. Cassidy was advised
yesterday by State Senator c. G. Saun-
ders that the bill proposed by the city
council to enable the city to use the water
works sinking fund to defray expenses
preliminary to the construction of pur-
chase of a municipal water works plant,
would be presented before the state legis-
lature within a few days and probably
would be passed without difficulty.
TIL bill was forwarded to Senator Saun-
ders by Mr.. Cassidy some time ago. to-
gether with a copy of the resolutions
adopted by The city council. urging Sena-
tor Saunders and Representatives Brandes
and Dye to give their support to the pro-
posed measure.
This bill asked for an amendment to Sec
ton 746 of the code relating to the uses
of the water works sinking fund by adding
the following paragraph:
When a majority of the electors within
a city, at any election, shall have pre-
viouSly declared in favor OF the purchase
council may provide by contract or other
wise without submission of the same to
the electors. for surveys, examinations, APP
lions, advertisements for bids and all other
necessary work preliminary to the making
OF such contract or contracts for such
Ih 1Iaot " SANkNiOll Va "oN1A NONh dlIu
pay for same and the expenses of the
city election out of the said sinking fund.
A second paragraph provides that the
amendment shall be in force Immediately
after its passage and publication In the
Des Nome papers.
There is about 5000 in the water works
sinking fund which will be more than SUIT
ficient to meet all preliminary expenses at
tendant on either the construction OF a new
municipal water plant or the purchase by
the city OF the present water works sys-
TEN. The amendment to the present law,
IL passed by the legislature. and there is
every reason to believe that Il will be. will
enable the city to pay the expense OF en-
gaging Burns g. Mcdonnell. the Kansas
City firm of hydraulic engineers. to assist
City Engineer Etnyre in preparing the re-
vised plans and specifications which are 10
be submitted to prospective bidders on the
proposed new plant. The firm is, under its
contract with the city, to receive $500 for
it's services. and II called upon for future
consultations is TO be paid SO a day and
travelling expenses. II is estimated that the
preliminary expenses for which the city
council anticipates drawing upon the sink
Ing fund will aggregate upwards OF $4,000.
In the event OF much litigation these ex-
penses will. It lie expected, be more than
doubled.

Constipation Caused
BY Indigestion
IL Cured by Helping the Stomach Do
, Its Work AS IL should.

An forms of constipation, bowel or intes-
final trouble owe most of their origin to the
improper digestion OF food. The bowels
measure 80 feet. The inside walls or sur
faces are wound tightly about with millions
III nerves. These nerves give life ana con-
Yroi millions OF little mouths or suckers
which are supposed to take nourishment
from the food as It leaves the stomach and
passes along this SO-foot human canal.
When Indigestion, dyspepsia or stomach
Trouble occurs, the food being undigested'
afasses over these millions of mouths 1t Is
fermented deeaying mass and holds no
urishment as it should.
The little mouths suck 1t up, impart these
curities to the blood. i~mpregnate the little
es with poison and so the work OF con-
bpation and bowel trouble begins.
A natural juice or secretion belongs nor

Aiics is lacking and so the mass Of
waste matter cannot pass along as II
should and is piled up and caked In the
bowel, thus bringing pain and misery.
After a while the nerves and nerve centers
which give vigor and life to the bowel be-

rrom a staff correspondsnt.)


DIES MONIES, Ia, Jan. 16-(Speclal.S
Democratic mayors OF Iowa and the middle
west are liable to capture the tariff re-
vision convention in Indianapolis next
month.
The committee having in charge the
plans of the gathering has sent ar In
vitatlon to the mayors of Iowa cities. and
probably mayors in other mid-western
states, to appoint delegates to the gather
ing.
There are as many or more democratic
mayors In Iowa than republican mayors.
They will all appoint delegates, whereas
many Of the republican mayors will not
appoint. Take Des Moines. for instance,
Mayor Mathis is a democrat. He has al
ready appointed a delegation of democrats
to the tariff revision convention. These
are all free traders and say they will 20
every one Of them) and pay their own
expenses in order to work for a reduction
Of the tariff. SO also, Ottumwa, Davenport,
Dubuque and other important cities have
democratic mayor who will do likewise,
There is some likelihood that the demo-
Gratis will organize with a view Of captur-
ing the Indianapolis convention and de-
handing that the schedules of tariff In the
United States be hewn down. At least
there will be a good representation of tariff
reVisionists from the democratic ranks in
that convention.
Then besides this there are a great many
progressive" republican mayors through
out the state who will appoint delegates
to the convention. Iowa is thoroughly
awake to the question of tariff revision and
that there will be a big representation in
the Indianapolis informal gathering is to
be assured.
