them. The jefferson Ward delegation
last year used certain of the electric
plant funds without the knowledge or
the Committee on Finance in stringing
ornamental lights along Jefferson Ave-
nue. in the hope that il would prove
politically acceptable to the people Of
that vicinity. Tho hot summer nights
have come. the lights glare into up
per windows. attract insects, ana have
otherwise proved q nuisance, and many
requests have come to Superintendent
Trarord that they be abolished, or else
cxtinguished during the summer
months. The committee takes the
ground that the lights are for the
benefit OF pedestrians. not merely for
those living on the abutting property.
and that therefore. they cannot be
distinguished on the request of few
ne ghbors to whom they are objection
able. y number OF new lights were
ordered In various sections.

CHICAGO, June 12.-While the big
politicians in the republican party are
adding to their stock of gray hairs in
the round up of the elusive delegate
the rank and file of the party workers.
whose only hope Is that candidate
will be nominated who can secure the
support of the party organization
everywhere, are having an easy time
OF it. Excepting when they are be-
ing importuned to use their influence
for friend who wants ticket they
stroll in state from one headquarters
to the other, telling the attaches what
they think will be in the outcome.
And it is a new tale fitted for each
headquarters that is uttered
1t was estimated today that more
than one-half of the actual delegates
to the convention are in the city. The
boomers and the marching clubs are
or the way. They will begin dropping
in about Friday with the blare OF
trumpet and the boom of gun. And
from then on sleep will be banished
in the hotel district.
There is no denying that the ma.
jority of the delegates, even some OF
the most enthusiastic Roosevelt men,
would welcome a compromise candi
date. They tell you SO privately al.
though for publication they insist
strenuously and loudly that they are
loyal either to Teddy or to Bill, as
the case may be. But deep down in
their hearts they are hoping some
thing will happen to prevent the nom
nation of either man and the substi
tuition of some one who could com
mand the support of united party.
Most of the delegates here are get
ting some comfort out of the promise
that the democrats at Baltimore vii
have their troubles too. They believ.
that, no matter what is the outcome
of the convention here, unless posi-
tive bolt takes place, the republican,

bitterness in the months that viii

is the appointment of 1,200 deput

BAD BREATH.
It's Your Duty to Get at the Cause
and Remove It. A Word to the
Wise, You Know.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the
substitute for calomel, will positively
do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath
find quick relief through DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant sugar.
coated tablets are taken for bad
breath by all who know them.
Olive Tablets act gently but firmly
on the bowels and liver, stimulating
them to natural action, clearing the
blood and gently purifying the entire
system of impurities.
They do all that dangerous calomel
does without any bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from
Olive Tablets without gripping, pain
or disagreeable effects of any kind.
DIR. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of
practice among patients afflicted
with bowel and liver complaint with
the attendant bad breath
