changed very easily.

There were a good many little tiffs in
the council room last night but luckily
most of them started out like a lion
and ended as meek as a lamb. For in
stance, A. A. Rodgers, the brick man,
stepped to the rail from the spectators
front row and getting the attention of
the council he commenced on a speech
that promised to be the scorcher of the
evening. He told in vivid terms of the
suffering poor people who could not af-
ford the good pavement and then he
threw a harpoon into the council ask
ing them If they really knew what they
were doing. Then he started in on an
explanation of the three classes of
pavement but before he had waded
through one class a line of grins ap-
peared over the council horizon. Mr..
Rodgers saw them and stopped in the
middle of his talk demanding the rea-
son for such little attention Then he
learned that his knowledge of the diff
ferent classes of pavement was not
thrown together properly and he ap-
pealed to the common sense of the
council. At last seeing no way out he
admitted that he had taken his infor-
nation from E. S. Quinton who had
been prompting him during the speech.
Mr. Quinton arose at this juncture and
said he had tried to tell Mr.. Rodgers
something else and had not mentioned
the three classes. This was so funny
that the whole room burst into an up
roar and appreciating the joke Mr..
Rodgers allowed his face to break into
smiles and he sat down Needless to
A resolution requiring the Natural
Gas company to install cut out valves
Just outside the curbing was intro
duced by Councilman Miller last night.
It was referred to the Judiciary COM
mittee. This is a good move toward
the determination of natural gas fires
also the loss of human life. Council

An Indigestion
Remedy Free

Many people VINO are OInerW1So
healthy suffer from indigestion, or dys-
pepsia. When you consider that the
stomach and allied digestive orgars
are the most important organs of the
body, It would seem that a disorder
there is to be taken very seriously.
Dyspeptics cannot eat the things they
like; food sours in the stomach; then
chronic constipation begins, or, as is often
the case, you have been constipated all
along and the stools are forced and
irregular.
But there is no use letting indigestion

mines your health 1t Is good advice to
suggest to you that you go to your drug
Syrup Pepsin, the wonderful cure for
stomach. liver and bowel troubles. That
Is what G. Fowler. of Carson City, Mich.
did and he is well today. Others who did
the same and are cured are Ida A. For
tune, of Grand Junction, Tenn, 3. F.
thompson. of Shenandoah, Ia, who ac-
tually considers that 1t saved his life.
You can obtain a 6o-cent or 81 bottle of

rections. 1t will probably be all you need.

| Two series Of sewer plans and speci-
hcat1ons were approved last night and
sent on their way. The one is the
much fought over Kenwood sewer This
is the sewer that the Rock Island has
been paying SO much attention to and
even suggested that it be placed on
wheels in order that it migth be moved
when convenient. However, this is but
myth and the city has been able to
tickle the chin of the Rock Island until
everything has been smoothed over. The
kenWood sewer is awaited with great
anxiety by the residents in this portion
OF the city and the action of the coun-
ell cannot be too fast for them. The
city engineer has had a number of
mammoth plans in view for the connec-
ton OF this sewer with the main city
sewers and making huge cement tun-
mel that would accommodate every
thing in the city. The other sewer rec
commended by the council last night was
the little branch out near WaShburn
college in the new addition recently ad-
ded to the city through the efforts of a
number of the residents in this district
The kenWood sewer involves about $25,-
600 of the city money and the southwest
drain means an expenditure of about
81, 900.
After listening for over an hour about
"squeegees" and shaking his head un-
knowingly each time he heard the word
General j. w. F. Hughes, released his
inquisitiveness last night and jumping
to his feet he cried:
81 have stood it long enough, Mr..
Engineer-now what in the devil is a
squeegee?"
The councilmen and spectators dou-
bled up in their seats at this drop from
the sublime to the ridiculous and it was
several minutes before the mayor could
call order. But to tell the truth-and
this is a profound secret-there were
very few gentlemen in the council last
night who knew the meaning of the
word "equeegee.''
If Councilman Miller has his way the
Topeka Railway company will have to
get out new series of transfers and
the plans of the whole transfer system
will have to be changed. In a resolu-
ton presented to the council last nighr
by Mr.. Miller the council was to COM
pei the street railway to issue trans
fers from the Santa Fe line to the Oak
land and cemetery lines and vice versa

The combination filler invented by
City Engineer Rogers will be used in
most of the city pavements this year.
This filler is a mixture of asphalt and
pitch and is judged to be the best ma
terial on the market-conceded to be so
by the representatives OF the opposlng
companies who have visited the city
laboratories. The city council expressed
their unanimous approval of the filler
last night and they have reason to feel
little patriotic pride in the new in
yentiOn.

either of these lines have to walk a
number of blocks to catch either car or
else pay ten cents. Mr.. Miller conferred
with the street railway officials but the
declined to admit the good points of
his plan. They say that if this system
of transfers is instituted people will
take one car, do their customary shop
ping up town and then take another car
back all on the same transfer-and with
only a few blocks walk. 1t is a diff
cult proposition to work out. The Mil
Ter resolution has been referred to the
judiciary committee in connection with
the mayor and the city attorney.

A new kick was registered against
the fire department last night. The
Capital City Bottling works say that
during the two years they furnished
sulphuric acid to the department the
chief had in his possession four carboys
which belonged to the works. These
carboys were borrowed by the fire de-
partment- In late years the depart
ment has been purchasing it's acid from
the Arnold Drug company and this
company has been given the use of the
.carboys ever since the change. The
bottling works people have asked for
the return of the drums ever since the
contract was shifted but they have re-
ceived no answer. They ask the city
for the price of the carboys. The mat
ter was referred to the fire department
committee.
