Sarsaparilla comprises all that are OF any known

The wonderful power Of Hoods Sarsaparllla

HITS SOCIALISTS
AS SPENOERS
REPUBLICAN, ALDERMAN ASSAILS
MILWAUKEE CITY ADMiNlSTRA-
TON IN OPEN LETTER.

Milwaukee, Jan. 30-In an open let
ter to the people, Alderman Fred G..
c. Bogk, republican, makes sensa-
tional charges against the socialist
city administration. Here is what he
charges: .aA.
Combined city pay rolls increased
1858 during first six months.
New garbage incinerator pay rolls
indicate increase of $4,000 in first
year of operation over that of old
plant.
Sum Of $1,13O,000 borrowed from
banks at interest charges of $4,000
to $4,000. Previous administrations
paid no interest and borrowed only
several hundred thousands at cor
responding periods.
Too Much Spent in Parks, He Says.
aside from the increases above
enumerated, Bogk says, money spent
for park land purposes has been en-
tirely out of proportion to what has
been spent for other purposes. This
year the city Is confronted with q
100000 liability to be paid for the
principal and interest for park land
contracts, while the previous years
liability was only $4,000. The people
want play grounds and park lands, out
these should be bought advisedly year
by year, SO as not to prevent and inter.
fere with other needy expenditures.
III the administration is not
economical how can it be made SO?
THAT is the key to success in bust
ness. However, that does not appear
to be the aim of our present city adj
ministration. When they took over
the reins Of government they claimed
the city was bankrupt and that they
were compelled to take over deficit.
They discredited TO large degree the
financial standing of the city in the
eyes of the world and effected the sale
of our bonds in manner SO as to re.
suit in a substantial loss to the city.
= Charges Ambition and Greed.
1T was hoped that this new born
child of virtue would lead Ns into bet
ter paths, but ambition and greed are
it's friends and companions 1t has
shown that it gets its followers softly
cushioned seats with salaries attached
which they never dreamed Of earning
when engaged on their merits, and Ger
tainly it has succeeded we'll in this

To the Citizens of Ottumwa:
The Sisters of the Humility of Mary

pleted, will involve an expenditure OF
100000. They can not undertake this
great work unless they receive en-
couragement from the people of the

the work and enter into contract for
the erection of the building. This
building will be used by them as an
academy for the education of young
ladies and will be conducted as non

tuition which will mean much to the
city of Ottumwa from a business
standpoint as we'll as from an educa-
tional standpoint. The intention also
is to have the work done by Ottumwa
contractors and by Ottumwa labor.
Respectfully,
J. J. Smith,
