hogged. Mercy! How they do nate
to do it,
The brightest intellects the railway
and railroad corporations command ap-
neared before the council last Iuesudy
on this subject and nearly hammereu
their heads off. Every engineer salu ~
was impossible; that the grooNed rams
were a failure, and cost too much mon

Rnt Citv Engineer Hamlin and Guy
ATTORNEY Hewitt had different klnu
of hunch altogether. Hamlln Is prop-
ably as good an engineer as those VINO

done and should be done, but that it
would be a more economical measure

done And Hewitt pointed out SOME
things that were impossible not so long

COURT FULL OF QUINNS
LOOKING FOR DIVORCES
Blanche Gets Hers, but Matte
Must Keep John

Blanche Quinn secured divorce from
Harold Quinn in Judge Wilbur's court
yesterday on the ground of non-support
and desertion. She declared he worked
about three months in two years and
was no proVider.
The plaintiff stated that her husband
had gone east some time ago and then
sent word for her to come. AS she had
no money at the time, she was unable
to do this, and she had not heard from
him since.
Following the completion of her case,
another action between Quinns was
commenced. They are not related to
those in the first action The second
case was a suit by Matte M. Quinn
against John Quinn for the annulment
of her marriage to the defendant, on
the ground that she was under age and
had not secured the consent of her
parents for the ceremony at the time 1t
took place.
Judge Wilbur dismissed the case
from the calendar on hearing the tes-
timonv of the parents, who did not
know the real age of their daughter.

Andrews Holds Session All by

AS the real big smoke Of the city
council Josias jeremiah Andrews leaves
little to be desired. Not only is ne q
member of eleven of the fourteen coun-
ell committees, but when it becomes
necessary he can be a committee all
by his lonesome. He was Yesterday
and it was the finance committee, the
most important in the whole bunch.
Washburn, chairman Of the committee,
is in New York, and Williams the other
member. is also out Of the city, so it
was up TO Josias jeremiah to be the
whole works.
He not only transacted the commit
tees business, but he kept two clerks

demands from the busy hands of }.

WATER BOARD PAYS BILLS

Report for April Shows Gross Re-
Ceipts of $101417.29

It's a handy bit of change to have
about your person is $163, ,64360, and
that is what the city water department
had in it's pocketbook after paying all
its bills May 1, according to the month
ly report, submitted yesterday. The re-
port shows that $1O1. .417.29 was received
for the month of April, and $63,414.74
disbursed. It began the month with a
balance of 25,64105.
THE water department is saving its
nennies to build that handsome new
building at Fifth and Olive streets that
the council doesn't want 1t to build.
But the council would readily forgive
the water board If it should spend that
extra 60 cents in the big balance for
chewing gum or peanuts or something,
just to celebrate.

GUY EDDIE FAVORED FOR
CITY ATTORNEYS PLACE
Prosecutor Considered Right Man
to Step Into Shoes of
Leslie Hewitt

Of all the bright legal stars in the
city attorneys department Guy W.
Eddie, city prosecutor, appears to have
the best chances to step into Leslie
Hewitt's shoes when Hewitt goes up
higher as general counsel for the har-
Dor department.
Corporation tools have been buzzing
around the councilmen to persuade
them that Eddie is not the man for
the place. Railroads and other inter-
ests don't like Eddie. He is too much
inclined to look at the other side OF
things in which they are interested:
They would much prefer a nice dlsn OF
mush and milk for city attorney FUR
thermore, Guy Eddie knows some law
and that is most disastrous to corpora
tions when the law doesn't glpe WITH
their own methods.
Eddie would take the job if it were
offered to him. He has always had a
sort of hankering to be the boss OF
the city's legal department and III Or

Most citv attorneys take four or five
reams of paper to make an answer answer
and then it's a game of guess what
they mean. But Eddie's answers are
delivered direct and doomed out IN a
voice that sounds like a detonatlon III

Alice Tracy was given an interlocu-
tory decree of divorce from John j.

and cruelty by Judge James IN the
sl1perior court Yesterday. She declared
he tried to make her get a can of beer
for him in Spokane, and when she re-
fused he beat her.
She said he frequently went on sprees
lasting from a week to two months,
and on several occasions he made her
paw for their meals out of her own
money. After he had done this, claim

FREE AIR 'TIREsoME'

Free air as an aid to sales of tires
has been frequently demonstrated in
the installation of a free air" supply
furnished by the w. D. Newerf Rub
ber company at its store. 1t is no
uncommon sight to see as many as
ten and fifteen cars lined up in front
of this store awaiting their chance to
initiate their tires. And it is hard to
tell how many sales of tires and ac-
cessories have been made to owners
who come there to feed their tires

MUNICIPAL FERRY? NOTHING
DOING! SAYS HARBOR BOARD

No municipal ferry from the harbor
bond fund, says the harbor advisory
board to the Wilmington chamber Of
commerce. Go to the council and get
the money for your ferry, is the further
advice.
The Wilmington chamber Of COM
nerce reminded the advisory board that
one of the pre-consolidation promises
had been a municipal ferry and that it
was about time for the ferry to appear.
But the board finds it cannot use the
bond funds for such a purpose. The
council will have to furnish the money
for it, but it probably will not be until
the next annual budget is made up in
July.

THE BEARING Of CHILDREN
Selection of Mates by the Women Is Advocated

Editor Ell Paso Herald:
Last year at the Dallas Poultry show
a single hen was exhibited valued at
$4,000. Recently there was one ex-
hibited there valued at $1,000, wearing
gold bracelets and its coop lined with
sky blue silk.
This is all right and commendable
but it serves to bring into contrast the
neglect in producing and exhibiting
that which is most valuable, boys and
girls. Until the people of this nation
give the same care and selection to rear
ing thoroughbred children they do to
the production of thoroughbred cattle,
horses, dogs, hogs, chickens, etc, the
country may expect TO be burdened
with third and fourth class men in all
the activities of life, taxed for the
maintenance Of asylums, almshouses,
and jails, and the court dockets crowded
with salacious divorce proceedings
There are thousands of people sub
scribing for books and journals relat-
ing to the breeding, care and value of
every kind of animal useful to man, to
one who spends a dollar for any In
formation regarding the rearing Of his
own flesh and blood. They will build
fine barns and strong fences to keep
their fine horses, cattle and hogs from

Germs Now an Easy Task

Death TO all tyrantsl Immediate
death to the most stupendous army of
tyrants that America has to deal with.
The catarrh microbe must go; the
people have decided The pernicious.
persistent and relentless destroyer of
health and life must be conquered and
nothing butja campaign of absolute ex-
termination will be tolerated.
If you have mucous in your throat or
nose in the morning; If you hawk and
blow and spit for some minutes before
you are able TO do anything; if you
have bad taste in the mouth, crusts in
the nose, and breath that won't make
friends, then the microbes of catarrh
are devouring the membrane that lines
your nose and throat and it is high
time you destroyed every one of them.
The way to destroy these microbes is
to get where they are with an anfisep-

mild enough not to irritate or infiame
