Likewise Here IN Taney.

Lay the jest about the julep in the camphor
balls at last,
For the miracle has happened and the olden
days are past.
That which makes Milwaukee famous does
MT go in Tennessee,
And the lid in old Missouri is as tight-locked
can be.
Oh, the comic paper colonel and his cronies
well might sigh,
For the mint is waving gayly and the South
is going dry.
By the stillside on the hillside in Kentucky
all is still,
For the only damp refreshment must be
dipped up from the rill.
Moth Callina's stately ruler gives his soda
glass shove
And discusses local option with the South
Callina gov.
1t is useless at the fountain to be winkfu1
of the eye,
For the cocktail glass is empty and the
South is going dry.
It's water, water everywhere-and not a
drop to drink;
We no longer hear the music of the mellow
crystal clink
When the colonel and the major and the
gen'l and the jedge
Meet TO nave little MP to give their ap-
petites an edge;
For the eggnog now is nogless and the rye
has gone awry
And the punch bowl holds carnations and
the South is going dry.
All the night caps now have tassels and are
upon the head;
Not the night caps that were taken when
nobody went to bed;
And the breeze above the bluegrass is as
solemn as is death,
For it bears no pungent clove-tang upon its
odorihc breath;
And each man can walk chalk line when
the stars are in the sky,
For the fzz glass now is hzzless and the
South is going dry.
Lay the jest about the julep meath the
chestnut tree at last,
For there's but one kind of moonshine and
the olden times are past.
Now the water wagon rumbles through the
Southland on its trip
And it helps no one to drop off to pick up
the drivers whip.
For the mint beds maketh pastures and the
corkscrew hangeth high
All is still along the stillside and the South
is going dry.

If your stomach, heart, or kidneys
are weak, try at least, a few doses only
of DR.. Shops Restorative. In five
or ten days only, the result will surprise
you. A few cents will cover the cost.
And here is why help comes so quickly.
DR.. Shoop doesn't drug the stomach,
nor stimulate the heart or kidneys.
DR.. Shoop's Restorative goes directly
to the weak and failing nerves. Each
organ has its own controlling nerve.
When these nerves fail, the depending
organs must of nee -ssity falter. This
plain, yet vital truth, clearly tells why
DR.. Shoop's Restorative is so universally
successful. Its success is leading drug

preference. A test will surely tell

INSIDE DOPE" ON THE
FIRE APPARATUS DEAL

So, after all of this talk about
favoritism in the awarding of con-
tracts for fire apparatus, and the
boast of the organ of the city ad-
ministration of what wonderful
things it had done in throwing
light on this deal, people find
Mayor Pratt and the board of pub
lis works awarding the contract to
the company in whose favor the
specifications were framed, the
same as it was understood the con-
tract was going in the first place.
People are told that this as a
reform administration, while at
the same time the charge is made,
@ nthe word of a citizen, that Com
missioner Armstrong went to the
coast to confer with the agents of
the successful company-the COM
pany in whose interests the specifi-
cations were 'doctored' in the be-
ginning.
Now for the facts: Bids on auto
matte fire apparatus were called
for, and M. M. See, an independ-
ent, not in the trust, poined out
that the specifications were writ
ten to favor the Seagraves ma.
chine. He told this to a reporter
for another paper, the same as
Mr. See had told it to The Press
a number of times before in the
last six months. j.
% A hue and cry went up, the speci-
aications were~ changed, and the
bids were then received. In the
meantime Commissioner Arm
strong ducked out to the coast, on
which trip he is charged with hav-
ing seen the agent of the Sea-
graves company, to which the con-
tract was awarded by Mayor Pratt
and the board of public works yes
terday afternoon. The company
represented by Mr.. See presented
bid $1007 under the bid accepted,
yet the board turned it down.
An investigation at the city hall
will demonstrate the fact that the
tSeagraves company. the Gorham
sRubber~ company, and one or two
sDther companies represented by
Captain Phillips of Seattle, have
had the drag" at the city hall for
a long time. Phillips is a former
