FRAUD ORDERS.
The Way Our Postoffiee Inspectors
Protect the Public.

When a person or firm that Is I'M
known to the postotlice inspectors be
gins to receive large quantities OF let
tiers the inspectors begin to investi-
gate. They visit the office of the con-
Germ and learn what they can. lf II is
n legitimate and honest business 1t Is
not interfered with. But If it looks
SHADY" If it happens to be a mining
or land scheme that offers large re-
turns upon the investment of money,
the inspectors abstract dozen or so
of the incoming letters from the mail,
get the names and addresses of the
writer's and then reseal the letters and
permit them to be delivered.
The next move for the inspectors is
to visit the persons whose names and
addresses were taken from the letters
and to get from them the correspond
ence of the supposed fraudulent con-
Germ. With this the inspectors make"
a case and either cause the arrest of
the dishonest persons or cause IA
fraud order" to be issued against it.
A fraud order is simply an order
made by the postal authorities at
Washington declaring that such
business is fraudulent and warning
the public against sending money to
it. After that each letter coming adj
dressed to that concern is stamped
fraud" in red ink across its face and
returned to the sender.
Thousands of schemes for defraud-
ing the public has been stopped by the
postal authorities, and they are always
on the watch for them.-Kansas City

One morning during the Land league

Delighted, too, were the local promo

hours.
At 3 o'clock the railway station and
its approaches were thronged with
people with bands and banners, and
the train from Dublin steamed in
amid terrific cheering for Tim Healy.
The train pulled up, a carriage door
opened. aud the local reception com

FOOTBALL TANGLES.
Queer Situations That Have Developed

Queer Situations That Have Developed
on the Gridiron.
In the fall of 1899 Young, the Cor
nell quarterback. received Il bad bump
on the head during the first half of
one of the early games and was so
dazed that he gave the signal for the
same play eight times in succession.
The rival eleven, unable TO compre-
bend such generalship. or, rather. lack
of it. became just as bewildered as
the injured quarterback and in the eff
fort to understand the unintelligible let
the Cornell backs through for quick
touchdown.
The calling out of numbers while the
opposing quarterback is trying to give
His team the signal for the next play
has resulted in numerous tangles. In
one of the Army and Navy contests
the quarterback of the latter eleven be-
came so confused in one instance when
the Army players were shouting out
various numbers while he was trying
to direct the next play that he actual
" gave his men one of the series of
numbers the Army men were suggest

the subsequent miXup may be better
imagined than explained.

Corporation Counsel Conner said
that new ordinances were needed
and were within the power Of the
present administration.
Here are some of the measures
suggested:
Install a larger system of city
carts and make a regular weekly
tour over regular tour, to remove
garbage and ashes. Compel each
dwelling to have its refuse ready
for the city carts and instruct each
police officer to make a report oil
each and every infraction on his
beat.
This will insure a regular weekly
cleaning and will do away with the
system of making complaints

HOME CURE
FOR ECZEMA
Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol, GIyce.
rine, etc, used as Simple Wash.

1t really seems strange that SO
many people suffer year in and
year out with eczema. when it is
now no longer a secret that oil Of
wintergreen mixed with thymol,
glycerine, ETC., makes wash that
is bound to cure.
Old, obstinate cases, it is true,
cannot be cured in few days, but
there is absolutely no sufferer
from eczema who ever used this
simple wash and did not find imme-
diately that wonderfully soothing,
calm, cool sensation that comes
when the itch is. taken away. In
stantly upon applying few drops
of the wash the remedy takes effect
the itch is allayed. There is nc
need of experiment-the patient
knows at once.
Instead of trying to compound
the oil of wintergreen, thymOl
glycerine, etc, in the right proper
tions ourselves we are using pre-
scription which is universally
found the most effective. 1t is
known as the d. d. d. Prescription,
or Oil of Wintergreen Compound
1t is made by the d. d. d. Co. OF
Chicago. and our long experience
with this remedy has given us
great confidence in it's merits.

MAYOR URGES
WATER ISSUE
ON COUNCIL

Mayor Pratt late this afternoon
fled with the city clerk a message
to the council devoted entirely to
the water supply question. An in.
crease of the supply is recognized
by the mayor as the most import
ant issued now confronting the
city.
An immediate increase of pump
ing capacity is urged, and to &C.
complish this the mayor advises
use of electric power to operate
additional pumps, as the water
power now available is not ade-
quate. He points out that this de-
ficiency can be partly remedied by
repairing the dams, which have
been allowed to become leaky, but
electric power is still deemed ne
cessary to insure suffiient distribu-
ton.
Completion of the new mains
will give a distributing capacity of
50.000.000 gallons daily, while It
will probably be impossible to
pump 100000 gallons even with
the additional pumps contemplated
Installed. Two of the proposed
new pumps are of 100000 gallon
capacity each.
The mayor bears heavily on the
Tact that there is now storage ca
pacity for but 20,000,000 gallons, or
is hours supply in case of acct
dent. and urges that provision be
made for a downtown pumping
plant on the river, as recommend
ed by Chief Myers, to depend on in
case of fire, with a gridiron main
system for the business section.
