Ordinance to Be Introduced TOday-PrOvides for Main
 taining Present Conditions
MANY COMPLAINTS
 MADE TO OFFICIALS
Acute Situation Has Arisen-Measure to Be Modelled After Laws Now in Force in Other Cities Prepared
 by the City Attorney

On account of an acute situation which has arisen over the segregation of negro residences. segregation ordinance will be introduced at the city commission meeting today. and 1t is probable that unanimous consent will be asked for it's immediate adoption.
 Serious and numerous complaints in this regard have come to the city govern ment officials of late from every quarter of the city. A segregation ordinance has been pending before the city commits sion for several months, but the com plaints, it Is said, have become so numer- ous that it was imperative that law be placed on the statute books immediately to prevent conditions from becoming worse.
 Tn enew ordinance is patterned largely after a similar ordinance now in force in Louisville, Ky. It was drafted by City Attorney Romaine Boyd at the instance of President George Ward and City Com missioner A. o. Lane. It will be intro duced by Judge Lane today. Cities hav- ing similar ordinances are Baltimore, Richmond. Norfolk, Greensboro, N. C., Atlanta, Louisville, St, Louis and others. City Commissioner Weatherly drafted a several months ago. but it was never acted upon.
 The new ordinance Is calculated to cause no rupture of any kind in present conditions. It is merely intended to main tain conditions in statu quo and allow them to become no worse. Where there are negroes and whites in the same block now, the race in the minority will not be compelled to move. But no blocks now harboring all white or all negro will be allowed henceforlh to become part one and r,a ri aoot har

WAR HORSES READY
FOR POLITICAL MIX
Exciting Contests Promised in
Half a Dozen States.

Washington, July Before the
end of this week the 1914 congress
sional campaign will be In full swing
throughout the country. Senators
and representatives who find they
will have to fight for reelection are
preparing to toss their Washington
duties to the winds and to get out
among the folks at home.
For an "off year" the campaign
bids fair to prove unusually exciting.
No only will the contest take place
in the shadow of the 1916 campaign
for the presidency, but in half a doz-
en- states a dramatic struggle is look
ed for between the new progressive
forces of politics seeking to maintain
their ascendency and the old reac-
tionary forces ambitious to come
back"
The political advisors of the presi.
dent, chief of whom is Postmaster
General Burleson, are confident that
the Wilson administration will re-
ceive an enthusiastic endorsement.

The back aches at times with a

to rub or apply a plaster to the back
if the kidneys are weak. You can
not reac hthe cause. Following the
example of this Madison citizen:
Mrs. c. Donovan, Madison, S. D.,
says: while | have had DO kidney

ney Pills to be a good kidney remedy.
They have been used by one of my
family with very good results. The
one who took them had been suffer
ing yer ymuch with pains in the

dizzy spells. Since Doan's Kidney
Pills were used | have heard no
further complaint"
