Company M, and satisfied that it
should above all things be carried out
along military lines, and further salts.
fed that Mr.. Hyland could not be
marshal of the day, if it was carried
out along military lines.
No Opposition toHyland.
While MI. Hyland has the uniform,
and can ride a horse in true military
fashion, still he has no rank as an Of
ficer, one company having been muster
ed out under his command. There il
no objection to his being marshal CT

the fact that orders from headquarters

day, will not permit Company NJ to
participate under the johnson arrange

The Result.
Disregarding the wish of those who
should be regarded in commemoration
of the honored dead on such day. Mr..
johnson has not changed his plan, des-
pite the fact that he has been seen bv
citizens, officers of Company M, COM
missioner Of the city and even the G.
A. R. members have talked about it.
The only result can be that the G. A.
r. will accept the parade program Of
Company N, with Captain stenson az
marshal of the day, while Avery John
son will probably have his own parade
with Frank Hyland as marshal of the

DID NOT TAKE LONG TO C0NsID
Err ALL THAT HAD TRANS
PRED FOR WEEK

"short and sweet" was the meet
lug of the city commission last evening
there being little business to dispose
IT, Commissioner Mann, having done
enough to the previous meetings to
last for some time to come. Re had
nothing to report last evening. Prob
ably he is saving it until he collects
Il bundle. Perhaps the citizens are
afraid to ask anything Of the new com
p.isslon, OF maphap there is not
enough doing in the city to requir
any lengthy session. At any rate the
meeting adjourned at 1850 p. m. about
twenty minutes after it convened.
Commissioner Mann hardly opened
mis- mouth. He did not even move to
adjourn. and only once did he talk,
and then only when spoken to. Of
course it was natural for the entire
outfit including the "three in one'
amalgamated, to be talking all at once
ana President johnson was forced to
remind the boys that there must be
order in order that he nigh, get a
chance to say something.
Among the things that the COM
mission did was to hire an assistant
street commissioner, whose duty will
be probably more to collect poll tax.
aud license money than it will be- to
sok after the streets of the city. but
since there is some cash in the road
fund, most anyone employed W the
city can have the distinction of being
street commissioner.
Three lights on Tenth street OF the
intersection of Flint, Kelly and Arnold
avenue were ordered, and the Farm.
ers' Railway at the direction eff the
three in one" will be asked to re-
pair the cinder path crossing at Min
newaukan avenue between Sixth and
Tenth streets.
Realizing that it would look like
poor business to make motion to en-
force an ordinance which should be en-
forced without any such action, the
chief of police was ordered TO give
notice to property owners within tho
business district to have all outhouses
removed by July l.
Superintendent Of Health Dahl re-
ported on the sanitary toilet as re.
quested by Joseph Wickert the week
previous, and the commission decided
to take no chances on it being san..
tary and therefore will not allow it
to be installed in the Wickert build
ing.
1t was decided that the line given
Joseph Wickert and John Schultz by
City Engineer Raft was correct and
the building at the corner of Kelly
avenue and Third street can be erect
ed anywhere just SO it is eighteen
inches back of the Flynn building ad-
joining. When erected the Wickert
building will be the model of the city,
being about the only building in town
that is not built on the street or on
a portion of the city's property.
"Three In One' was ordered to
have some manure removed and after
looking into the book of ordinances,
President johnson discovered that the
commission had the right to have the
old Inter-Ocean building condemned
and torn down before it falls down
and does damage, the partially burned
structure being in dilapidated con-
dition. There being no one in the
anti-room anxious to talk, the commits
sion adjourned.

SPIRIT IN TUBERCULOSIS WAR
Nineteen Million Dollars Expended
Last Year In Fight Against the
Dread White Plague.

Nearly $19, 000, 700 was spent in the
antituberculosis campaign in the,
United States during the year 1912,
according to the fourth annual statis-
teal statement of expenditures in this
movement issued by the National As
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. The expenditures
during the year for sanatorium and
hospital construction and treatment
make the largest single item in the
total, amounting to nearly $~16,SOO,OOO.
This is an increase of nearly $5,O00,-
900 over the same group of expendi-
lures for the year 1911. The anti
tuberculosis associations and commit
tees spent over s765. 900, while dis
pensaries and tuberculosis clinics
spent over $500, 900. Over $415, 900
was spent for the maintenance and
establishment of open-air school and
fresh air classes, which is more than
double the amount spent for this pur-
pose in 1911. Official, state and mu.
nicipal expenditures outside Of the
maintenance of institutions, which
are included in the other totals
amounted to s2S0,00O. In addition to
these figures, about $500,0OO was
spent by hospitals for insane and
penal institutions in caring for theil
tuberculosis inmates.

NEWSgf MISSOURI
nav CONVICT system URGED.
Mecluns Says This Is Most Serious
Question Before Legislature.

Jefferson City.-D. C. McClung, who
will succeed Henry Andrae as warden
of the penitentiary, says the question
of what shall be done with the con
victs when the present contract sys-
tenn terminates the last of the year, is
the most serious confronting the leg
islature for solution.
McClung spent a day exchanging
ideas with the members of the legis-
lature. He says he has no suggestions
to offer and does not know what
Majors position upon this subject will
be. Some of Majors intimates, how
ever, say he will recommend the use
of the convicts upon the public roads
of Missouri.
Warden Andrae says it costs about
$3.50, 900 annually to feed and clothe
the convicts and furnish medical aid.
This money is more than earned each
year under the contract system.
The legislature must appropriate
money for the support of the ~convlcts
next year when the state contract sys-
TEN expires.
The law abolishing the state con
tract system provides that the con
victs shall be worked, except 300, in
manufacturing plants and the making
of supplies for the state institutions
The state, however, has no equip
ment for factories, and to equip theD
will cost over $1,0O0,OO0, it is esti
mated.

NEURALGIA CAUSE or CRIME
Suffering Father Murders His Blind
Son and Then Commits
Suicide.

London.-Neuralgia was the cause
OF a terrible domestic tragedy at Brom!
ley-by-Bow lear this city.
A middle-aged mar named Harry
Agar of Fern road, Devons road, killed
his three-year-old son Cecil, who wal
blind. with a razor and then committed
suicide.
The only motive that can be found
for the crime is that Agar was in great
pain, owing to neuralgia. He went to
a hospital and implored the authorities
to extract his teeth, but they came to
the conclusion that there would be
danger in removing them. Shortly
after his return home Agar went up
stairs to a bedroom. in which his
three-yearold son was lying.
Nothing apparently occurred to
arous the suspicious Of his wife, and
at dinner time she sent another child
TO tell her husband that the meal was
ready. The child came down hurried
ly. saying: Daddy is dead"
Neighbors were called in and on
going upstairs they found the man and
the blind child lying dead with their
threats cut Near them was aablood.

the end of which the Swiss customs
house comes into sight.
From Chaux lie Fonds we could only
crawl for the rest of the way into
Neuchatel, for the road is very steep
over the Col des Loges, and then
comes a long winding, and in parts
rapid, descent to Bondevillers and
Valengin, with sharp cor
hers and tunnels cut in the rock.
From Neuchatel to Zurich is an
easy days run; but in Switzerland
one must always remember to allow
about double the time taken to cover
the same distance in any other coun-
try. The speed limits are absurdly
low in the towns and villages, and as
the country is thickly populated and
there are seldom more than a few
kilometres without houses, travelling
becomes a somewhat lengthy pro-
ceeding. Very heavy fines are i'm
posed for noncompliance with regu-
l%ations, and every minute large pla-
cards greet the eve with Halt! Autos
Langsam-6 kilos-Busse 200 ~francs!"
AS yet cars are not welcomed by the
Swiss, and one has to get accustomed
to hearing Halt" yelled out con
%stantly, while the angry looks of the
inhabitants lead one to imagine n is
beating a record instead Of crawling
at the rate Of four miles an hour in
the middle of a village.

Why He Changed His Mind.

John L. Sullivan met with some
amusing incidents while giving boxing
lessons.
One day a husky young man came
to him as a pupil. He took his boxing
lesson and went home somewhat the
worse for wear.
When he came for his second lesson
he said: "Mr. Sullivan, it was my
idea to learn enough about boxing
from you to give a certain young gen.
tleman a good licking. I've had 1t in
fer him a good while. But I've chang
ed my mind. If you have no objec,
lions I'll send this young man down
here to you to take the rest of my
lessons for me."-Pittsburg Chronicle.

Travel - Speed Limit

Boulogne, France.-There are more
ways than one Of setting out for the
Tyrol, and If a short sea voyage is an
object, then nothing al better the
Folkestone-B oulogne route. Otherwise
the Hook of Holland and a journey
down the Rhine is a good alternative.
We chose the short sea trip and start
ed with a run from Boulogne to Arras,
a town not devoid of interest. Then
on to Rheims, which is always a a t

sesses one of the most perfect of all
the French cathedrals, and, secondly,
on account of the excellence of the
hotel-a consideration not to be de-

after Rheims! but on arriving there
we were SO unprepossessed by the
look Of the one and only hotel given
in our guide that we decided to go on
to Nancy, which we reached eventu-
ally after being caught in a terrific
thunderstorm. We made our way
into Switzerland through the Vosges
country, staying a night at Plom-
bieres, a pretty little French water
ing-place, rather shut in by woods
and hills.
Our next journey took us over the
Ballon d'Alsace, then through Bel
fort, Montbeliard, st. Hippolyte,
Maiche and Morteau to the frontier.
The road, on leaving Montbeliard, is
particularly beautiful, and especially
after leaving st. Hippolyte, where it

When woman suffering from some form Of feminine
disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it of course
frightens her.
The very thought of the hospital operating table and the
surgeons knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder.
1t is quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but thousands Of
women have avoided the necessity of an operation by taking
Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound. This fact is
attested by the grateful letters they write to US after their
health has been restored.
