CITY STUNG
AGAIN

The mistake of Attorney Burkey
has cost the city just 1896.
Contractor Connors of the West
ern Bridge company went to Bur-
key to get him to draw up the bid
for the Twenty-third street bridge.
Burkey overlooked the fact that
in addition to stating the full
price for the bridge the bid re-
CURED a statement of the price
per foot for concrete construction.
He made a lump bid of $44,1OO
for building the bridge. 1t was
1895 lower than C. f. Graft, the
next man, who is a Seattle con-
tractor.
Instead of awarding the job to
the Tacoma man and letting him
fight it out with the other con-
tractors, the commissioner asked
the city attorney for a ruling on
the bid of the Tacoma company.
The city attorney said his bid was
not regular. The commissioner
this morning threw it out and
gave the job to the Seattle man
for SAT, 1876. This is about $4,000
higher than the BID or Joe Wells,
which was turned down a month
ago on the first call for bids.

CLIPPED CORN TOOK BOTH LEGS; ).
ARMS GOING WHEN DEATH CAME

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. IS
The death of H. S. Odbert, prom
inent business man and veteran of
the civil war, resulted indirectly
from the trimming of corn.
In the four years that elapsed
between Odbert's visit to the CHR
opodist and his death, both legs
had been amputated nearly to the
thighs to stay the blood poisoning
poison assesses had been cut
from his back and his last fear
was that his arms, one after the
other, would have to be amputat-
ed and he would be left a living,
helpless hulk of trunk and head.
Death, however, mercifully came
to save him from that fate. His
system, shot through with poison,
could not withstand a sudden at
tack of pneumonia, and he died
after a sharp illness of twelve
hours.
Four years ago Colbert was a
big, outstanding man, SO years old.
Ten years before he had been
stricken with diabetes, and doc
tors said he could not live more
than few months.~ But his rug
ged constitution withstood the
disease, which still chung to him,
however.
But his weakened blood could
not offset the poison that swept
through his system after the CHR
opodist's knife. The poisoning
manifested itself almost immedi-
Iately, and six months later Cd
bert's right leg was amputated
above his knee to save his life. He
bought a crutch and an automobile
and continued to be about his
business.
A year and a half later he was
at Atlantic City when his left foot
began to swell. Again he was put
on the operating table. An at
tempt was made to amputate the
leg below the knee. The cut was
made, but the arteries of the To-
cality were found too weak to be
tied. So a second successful cut
was made nearly at the thigh.
The doctors thought the shock
of the operation would kill him.
He recovered, however, threw
away his crutch, bought a wheel
chair, engaged a negro valet to
carry him whenever necessary, and
was soon in his regular place in
the office.
Before he died he began to feel
an itching in his hands, and he
knew this meant that the poison
mad crept into his arms. Yet,
facing such fate, he maintained
a cheer and composure that were

THE CONFLICT OF

The average man will "jolIy" with

of line. Just a line-from chin to
toe, or nape to heel--thats all. But
1t rings the merry marriage bell.
Fat women should not repine--but
refine--their own lines by means of

necessary Simply take one tablet
after each meal and at bedtime, and

MILLIONAIRE SON
TO WE'D MILL GIRL

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
LAWRENCE, Mass, Feb. 49,
Marion Victor Mckay, son of the
late Gordon Mckay, who made a
fortune of 100000 by invent
ing a machine for stitching soles
to shoes, is to marry Miss Ada
Florence Mitchell, a former mill
weaver of this city. Young Nc
Kay's friends learned today that
he and Miss Mitchell had taken
out marriage licenses both here
and in Boston, and that a date had
been set for the wedding, but in
the absence of Mckay and Miss
Mitchell it is impossible to learn
the date.
Marion Victor Mckay and his
brother, Robert Gordon Mckay,
were practically disinherited by
their father, who left three-fourths
of his estate to Harvard UNIVERSE
ty. Each of the boys received an
annuity of $500 a year, but it is
apparent that the young man who
is q to marry Miss Mitchell has
prospered, for his affianced bride
has been enjoying the use of his
motor car the greater part of the
past summer.
z Mckay met Miss Mitchell at An
dover when he was attending the
academy there. Later she was
graduated from Lawrence high
school she became an operator in
a mill here, and on Sunday after
Moons made trips to Andover with
several girl friends. Although
McKay's college friends knew of
his attentiveness to Miss Mitchell
they nevertheless were surprised
to learn that he is to marry the
girl.
