BeesWax In Cracks.

Ugly cracks or splits in furniture
can easily be filled in with beeswax
so that the marks will hardly show
Furniture dealers cover up many blem
ishes in this way.
Slightly soften the beeswax until II
becomes like putty; then press it firm
ly into the cracks, and smooth the sur
face over with a thin knife. Sandpa

some of the dust into the beeswax.
This gives finish to the wood. and
when 1t is vanished the cracks will
have disappeared. Putty is sometimes
used in the same way, but it soor
dries and falls out, while beeswax will
remain in practically forever.

TO OPEN R. R.
CROSSINGS
Council Hold Meetin6---
Important Ordinance
is Passed

AT the city council meeting yester-
day afternoon the most important
action was the passage Of a drastic
ordinance forbidding the distribution
Of hand bills and regulating other
kinds Of store advertising. The ordi-
nance is published elsewhere in this
paper. The ordinance was passed
upon request of merchants OF the city.
Representing a number Of citizens
interested, Col. Thomas J. O'Neil ap-
Deared and asked that the council take
effective action relative to the opening
up Of crossings over the tracks Of the
Frisco Railroad company's right-of-
way at Kansas avenue, Colorado ave
nue. and Seventeenth street.
After discussion Of the rights Of
both parties involved in the matter
the petition was referred to commit
tee with power to act. This will nm
doubtedly dispose Of the question of
opening up these streets which ass
hung fire for several months. Citing
excellent authority, Col. O'Neil con-
yinced the council that the city had
an inalienable right to its highways
and all that was necessary to do to
open up the streets under considesa-
ton was to do it, as the granting Of
right-of-way to a railroad company Or
any other corporation did not sur
render any rights OF the people rela-
tive to necessary or natural high
ways.
1t was also decided to continue an
assessment Of IS for the tapping Of
sewers.
The attention Of the council being
called to the unsafe condition Of many
bill boards within the corporate limits
Of the city, resolution was passed
to require the owners to replace the
questionable bill boards with more
substantial ones or take them down or
to move them back 20 feet from the
sidewalk.
It was also decided that tho grad
ing Of the spur Of the Rock Island
tracks crossing at Third street be
properly adjusted with the regular
erade Of the street. City Engineer
Colby was authorized to execute the
order.

STRINCENCY
NOT FEARED
Banks Have Plenty Of
Money to Handle
Crops

Washington. Aug. 19.-Reports from
the west and the middle west now
seem to indicate that the probabiIi-
ties Of heavy drala on the eastern
banks to pay for the crop movement,
which win begin within the mex. few
weeks, are reasonably remote From
the viewpoint Of the treasury, oondi-
tions which have arisen since the pos
sibilities OF a stringency were first
recognized early in the year, have con-
tributed largely to the present situa-
tion. The liquidation iii the stock
market checking Of farm loans by the
banks Of the middle west by increased
rate Of interest and general clearing
OF the financial atmosphere, have been
largely responsible.
Some time ago it was predicted that
the western banks, because Of heavy
loans, would have to draw more heav-
lily than usual on the eastern connec-
tions. Fears We're expressed that be-
cause of the large amounts of money
which had been diverted to the devel-
opment projects and Investments in
unimproved lands in the west, the
movement OF money from the east to
west would be kreater than usual.
