PAYING WATER DEPOSIT
Department Figuring on Making Pay
mentS Easiest Plan.

An effort will be made to work out
some manner of repaying water de-
posits without necessitating more than
one visit to the city hall to collect the
amount. Commissioners r. l.. Bone
and F. NJ. Newland, to whom was re-
ferred the task of arranging for the
return of the deposits, are busy figur-
ing out the details of the plan Cash
ier F. L. stevens of the water depart
ment also has been busy with the
work.
In the near future, just soon as
a plan can be devised that will work,
the repayments will be made to de-
positors. A sum of approximately
s13,5O0 is to be repaid if it all is call
ed for.
A plan that seems likely to be
adopted is to appropriate the whole
amount shown to be due and then
draw warrants with vouchers attach
ed, the only requirement being that
the persons taking their deposits sign
and swear to the vouchers, which as
well as being a legal authority for
paving out the money will be a receipt
for it well.
Depositors will be notified of the
manner of the payment as soon as it
is settled, and also the time when they
may come for their deposits.

MISS HELEN GARDNER
As "'The Wife of Cain.' a Story of the
Primal. at the Cozy Theater.

The most beautiful and dramatic
picture ever made, in four parts,
showing Miss Gardner in a most cap
tivating role, picturesque in costume
and setting and presented with a per-
lection of detail, rarely if ever seen
in a motion picture, is at the Cozy
tomorrow and Thursday.
The story contains four reels of sur
passing beauty and interest, gorgeous
ly tinted, dealing in masterful style
with the universally Interesting story
of Cain and his awful crimes and the
final regeneration of the man through
the philosophy of a wonderful and
charming woman.
Miss Gardner will be remembered
as one of the stars of the Nitagraph
company, and is now with her own all
star company of feature players.

new TARIFF THIS week
Bill Probably Will Reach the Presi-
dent by Saturday Night.

Washington, Sept. 23.-That the tar
iff bill will be in the hands of Presi-
dent Wilson for signature by Saturday
was the prediction today by Senator
Simmons. The conference committee
made such progress that all members
were optimistic No concentrated f1ght
against the conference report that Will
delay its final approval is expected in
either house.
While Senator Pomerene made
strong protest against the action OF
the conferees in dropping out the S1-1o
tax on fruit brandieS used to fortify
wines, Democratic leaders do not cX-
pect his hight against the conference
report to go to the extent of delaying
or defeating it's adoption.
The Clarke cotton future tax will be
taken up tomorrow. While a general
plan has been under cOnsidera ton
among southern senators and repre-
sentatives for a modification of the
Clarke amendment, Senator Simmons
today said there had been no agree
ment or a compromise and the con-
ferees would take up the cotton futures
tax without any understanding as to
substitute provision.

FITzW!LL|AM DEAD.
Was Former Legislator From Leaven-

Leavenworth, Kan. Sept. %
Frank P. F'itzwilliam, widely known
Kansas attorney and formerly Demo-
cratic member of the state legislature,
died at his home here Monday of
apoplexy following a brief illness. He
was 40 years old.
F'itzwilliam is well known among
Kansas Democrats and has been
prominent in local politics in Leaven-
worth county and the First district
during the last Is years. In 1898 Fitz-
william was the Democratic nominee
for the legislature from the Seventh
representative district, comprising
one-third of Leavenworth county.
That year F. r. C'Buck') Dawes was
the Republican nominee. The official
records of the secretary of state show
that Fitzwilliam was beaten by just
five votes in that election. Dawes
polled LILY votes and the official
count showed Lip for Fitzwilliam.

THE FOSTERING OF HEARST BY
NAUGHTY RAILROADS

We should not envy the great.
They have their troubles. Take our
ever delightful friend, Willyum Ran
doIluf Hearst, for example: All,
there's a great man. We don't have
to prove it. He admits it.
Willyum lives in beautiful man.
sion on Riverside Drive, New York.
The family Jewels also live there.
Willyum is great on sassiety func-
lions. His long suit is entertaining
the great and near-great- and telling
about it in his newspaper sassiety
colyums.
But the landscape near Willyum's
mansion is marred by two railroads.
Oneis the New York Central, and the
other is the New York, New Haven &
Hartford. The rude engines of these
railroads emit black smoke; and the
unfeeIing wind blows that smoke
over into WiIlyum's back yard. In
that smoke is more or less SCOT; and
this thoughtIess SCOT rudely lights on
Willyum's silk underwear and pa
jamas when the hired girl hangs
them out on the line to dry.
Not content with this malicious
destruction of property by the SCOT
that belches from the smoke-stacks
of the engines, in defiance of all the
etiquettical rules of polite sassiety,
the engines blow their whistles. And
the noise is so ear-splitting at times
that Willyum can't hear his own
voice when he is delivering an elo-
quent address of welcome or thanks
to himself, in a few well-chosen
words, for having kindly regulated
the universe to suit himself.
All of which greatly annoys Our
Hero.
Therefore the great man wants the
New York Central and the New York,
New Haven &Hartford Railroads re-
moved from the map and taken off
the scenery which surrounds his pa

We are inclined to think Willyum's
point of order is well taken. True,
the scenery and. the railroads were
there before Willyum arrived; and
there are many people who want to
get in and out of New York on the
railroads, but it is also important that
the ears of our great men be pro-
tected from rude noises and their I'M
derwear from despoiling SCOT.
And our great men should not be
disturbed when making speeches to
themselves. Nor should Willyum be
disturbed when reading cablegrams
of thanks from the Ahkoond of Swat,
or the Gazzazzum of Allagazzam,
very properly thanking him for haV-
ing rammed his left hind leg through
the fourth dimension, or having sent

the Emperor of B'Gosh.
Soon or late the railroad maggOts
of Wall street must learn that they
cannot with impunity, SCOT, smoke
and noise monkey or otherwise tam

drum or his family washing.
