FOUR VOTES

"As to that ! can not say" re-

Mr.. Herwig will return to Olym-
pia tomorrow to again plunge into
the local option fight. The anti
saloon forces are holding open
house at Olympia, and working in
three shifts, so to speak, so that
the opposition does not get a mo-
ment's respite in the struggle.

The members intended to wait
on the council last night, but aside
from personal work nothing was
done in the body of the council.
The committee had its attention
called to prevailing conditions first
by the work on East Sprague av-
enue, where the big rockcut Is be-
ing done exclusively by aliens, and
the fraternal orders take the posi-
ton that there are too many tax
payers and citizens in the city
without work to turn these jobs
over to aliens. Up to the present
no sc;A'me has been evolved to
frame an ordinance which would
meet the requirements in the case.

Starts Monroe Bridge on
Warrants, Trusting
to Luck.

The Washington aWter Power
Co. will pay for the Monroe street
bridge should the company be held
to have perpetual franchise
across the structure-that is If the
bridge stands 100 years and costs
no more than the city engineer
has estimated.
The council took up the bridge
matter last night and as result
the power company is to pay five
per cent on 100000 every year as
long as it shall run its cars over
the bridge, maintain it's tracks, or
even claim the right to run the
cars. This means $4,000 year for
the city for the right to run across
the bridge, on the money the city
borrows to build the bridge.
The company claims it has per-
petual franchise across the struc-
ture but this question is not taken
into consideration and If this
clause is knocked out the COM
pany will then cease paying as
soon as it ceases to run its cars or
claim the rightto dose.
Another matter which was de-
cided was to start the work on
both the Monroe street and East
Olive street bridges at once, with
out waiting for the vote on the
bond issue. The city has the
right, under supreme court de-
cision, to issue bonds to the
amount of one and half of its
assessed valuation without vote,
and If this was done the city could
issue about $780, 600 in bonds and
be on the safe side. by vote II
can issue bonds to the extent OF
five per cent of its.assessed valua-
ton.
The city has decided to drop the
claim against the water power
company for $4,000 for repairs
on the old Monroe street bridge,
this being waived to secure an
amicable settlement for the new
concrete bridge.
The sQuabble between the city
engineer and the board of public
works was settled by the council
and an iron railing will be substi-
tuted at Mission avenue instead of

PURE FOOD TO
GIVE AWAY
10000 Club Show Proves
to Be Popular
Attraction

So bountiful are the samples Of
foodstuffs given out at the pure
food show now open at the arm
DRY under the auspices of the $780,
900 club that the management has
secured large paper baskets for
use of the ladies who wish to carry
home with them the supplies.
While these baskets hold much,
they are too small for the real ac-
tive Investigator and should she
receive sack of flour for good
measure it is up to hubby to come
to her rescue.
The attendance yesterday was
double that of Monday, and 1850
attended the show. The booths
are attractively fitted up and the
displays of the exhibitors are the
best ever seen in the city.
On Friday there will be spe-
cial meeting at the show, when
the women's clubs of the city will
meet to attend the talks to be
given by pure food enthusiasts.
The meeting is designated as the
pure food council. Professor Full
ncr of the Washington state col
lege. will be the principal speaker
and will talk of pure food and give
demonstrations. DR.. w. l.. Hall,
president of the board of health,
will also make an address.
A pleasing feature of the show
is the orchestra concerts. The
show is open every afternoon at 2
O'Clock and in the evening.

but necessary changes will be
made at once in order that the
concern may operate as a stock
company.
The attorney of the association
has been authorized by vote of
the body to begin suit against the
Cook Clarke Real Estate Co. for
the recovery of $1,000 paid by the
association on a building site west
of the Masonic temple as an option
on the property. Members of the
association are confident of a vic
tory in the impending legal bat
tie, as it is reported that the con-
tract under which the building site
was held by the association on q
$1,000 option contained no forfeit
ture clause, consequently the real
estate company will be unable to

COMMITTEE APPOINTED
TO WORK WITH COUNCIL
Demand Restrictions Favoring Citizens on
Work Done at Public Expense.

A quiet warfare has been waged
for several weeks in Spokane
against alien labor but as yet moth.
ing has been made public. The
aliens are a sore spot with many
working men in the city but. the
new fight has been taken up by
the fraternal bodies of the city
from which a large representation
has been gathered.
The committee, consisting OF
members of the different lodges,
have held seven meetings up to
date, aimed at the aliens, and the
purpose of their work has been to
secure some means whereby an
ordinance which would stand the
test could be passed excluding
alien labor on contract and other
jobs in the city.
George Stone, candidate at the
last election for sheriff, Is the
chairman Of the committee and
with him are assembled many
prominent men of the city.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
A Disease Of the Nerves Nor Of the Sf0mach-C0rreet Home
 Treatment.

Nervous dyspepsia, unlike other forms of indigestion, is q disease of the nerves and it must be treated by strengthening the nerves and tho use of good tonic, such as Dr. Williams Pink Pills, to- gether with generous and nourishing diet, is tho correct home treatment. .,
 After suffering with nervous indiges- ton for over two years Mrs. George P. Martin. of No. l6 Admiral street, New Haven, Conn. tried Dr. Williams Pink Pills. She tells of the great benefit she received as follows:
 "Following severe rundown condi- tion l began to suffer with nervous indi- gestion. Food distressed me so much that it was with difficulty l could drink water and l had to live on milk almost entirely. l lost in weight and strength. Twas so nervous that l could not bear to have any one visit me. 1 could not sleep nights or if l did would wake up suddenly with 8 startled feeling. When ever ate much my stomach would bloat and there would be gas on it. Often times had to vomit to get relief. On going up stairs or in over-working l was certain to have palpitation of the heart. l had dull, sick headaches which lasted for two or three days. During these attacks I was unable to do my house. work. I felt sick all over and wanted to be undisturbed.
 "The doctors medicine failed to help me after 8 trial of over three months. l read about Dr. Williams Pink Pills in 8 newspaper and began using them. Inoticed difference after had taken only 8 few boxes and was cured when I had given the pills 8 good trial. My cure has been permanent but l keep Dr. Williams Pink Pills on hand to use as a tonic"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are useful in cases of acid stomach and in the treatment of over-sensitive stomachs in which the slightest irritation causes painful gnawing or burning sensations. This condition is common among grow ing girls.
 Sufferers from dyspepsia in any form, who have found their condition unre- ieved or actually growing worse while using ordinary remedies, would do well to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They are sold by all druggists or direct by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50c per box; six boxes, $2.50 A diet book will be sent free, on application to. the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Sche- aectady, N. Y.
