CAPITOL HILL
Bill TO LICENSE STEAM
ENGINEERS IN THE STATE
Measure Creates Examining Boards in
Cities Of the Third Glass and Con-
tains Stringent Rules to Garry Out
Its Provisions

Harrisburg is interested in a bill
which was introduced in the House
yesterday by Representative Ramsey,
of Delaware, creating an Examining
Board of Steam Engineers in cities OF
the third class. BY the proposed law
City Commissioners would name two
practical engineers of not less than six
years experience each as members OF
the board. The Director of Public
Safety would sit with the two engin
eers in the examination of all appli-
cants for license as qualified steam en-
gineers.
The Ramsey bill would make it un
lawful for any man not a licensed en-
gineer to operate any steam boiler and
engine of more than 20 horse power
and carrying more than fifteen pounds
per square inch. The act would not ap-
ply to boilers and engines under the
jurisdiction of the United States and
locomotives operated by railroad com
panies.
No one under 21 years of age would
be allowed to stand an examination. A
fee Of 50 is to be paid when the Ii.
cense is granted. Annually the engin-
eer would be required to renew his Ii.
cense, paying a feet of 81. The ex-
aminers are to receive SIS per day for
each day they sit to conduct the ex-
aminations.
Owners of the boiler or engine are
held responsible for any accident that
might happen in the event an unli.
censed engineer is employed. If they
employ an unqualified engineer for
more than ten days they are liable to
arrest and may be fined as high as
S100 for each offense. The engineer
would be liable to pay a fine of 500
and be sent to Jail for three months.
Licensed engineers, who leave their
place of employment without giving
twentyfour hours notice to the em.
ployers, shall be guilty of misde.
meanor. Revocation of the engineer s
license for one year would follow.

A SAFE WAY TO
STOP INDIGESTION
Without Fear of Weakening the Stom
ach. Works Fine in Any Case and
Brings Relief in Ten Minutes

The greatest folly of to-day is com
mitted by people with weak dyspeptiC
stomachs who take artificial digesters
to cure Indigestion.
Artificial digesters-pepsin pills. etc
simply encourage lazy or tired out
stomach to shirk its work by doing
most of its work for it. This is fine fol-
time but as every chronic dyspeptic
knows. artificial digesters soon lose
their efficiency. Where one once did the
trick three or four are now required
and the poor old stomach itself is worse
off than ever.
Your stomach must be Strong enough
to expand and contract with sort of
churning movement so as to mix it's
digestive juices with your food. If your
stomach isn't strong enough to properly
churn your food, you will keep right on
having Indigestion after every meal
until you make it strong.
There is one Stomach remedy that
every dyspeptic can depend On as surely
as that the sun will rise tomorrow and
that is the famous old MONA Stom-
ach Tablets. Most stomach remedies let
the stomach rest and digest the food
themselves. Mi-o-na won't digest any
thing, but it win strengthen and stimu-
late the stomach and make it do it's
own digesting. 1t stops stomach pains,
gas, bloating, burning, belching. etc..
in ten minutes and does still better by
making the fiabby, infamed and inactive
stomach walls grow strong and elastic
and able to do their own churning. Mi.
o-na Tablets never lose their effect and
unlike mere artificial digesters need not
be used forever. A few weeks use is
generally sufficient to put any stomach
in fine shape and HI. G. Kennedy and
many other leading druggists here
abouts sell it with that understanding
agreeing to refund money to anyone
who does not get complete relief

facture' of malt or brewed liquors,
deprives the court of the right to grant
the licenses. The applications read
that the hotelmen s bondsmen were not
interested in the manufacture, etc.
The Judges Disagree
Judge Bernhisel, who, with Judge
Lucius G. Wox, of Marysville, is an
Associate or clay" Judge, contended
that the technical error raised by the
court, if it be an error, was one that
precedent has overlooked for half a
century, if not more, and he held that
the licenses should be allowed. Judge
Wox is i'll at his Marysville home and
did not consider the applications.
Among the attorneys in court here
this morning it was said the higher
court has held that where law and a
clay" Judge disagree, "the applica-
tions shall not be allowed'
On two applications only did Judge
Seibert ard Judge Bernhisel agree.
Both held that the sale of liquor at the
P. R. Shenk hotel, Millerstown, and
the Albert Zerfel hostelry, Marysville,
is not necessary and they decided to
refuse the licenses.
In all other cases Judge Bernhisel
said he felt disposed to grant the appli
cations. Judge Seibert, however, said
he would have refused the applications
of Robert Hopple, Millerstown; Robert
Nixon and James Straus, Newport,
holding that these licenses are not nee
essary. Because ht felt satisfied that
the applicant S employees had sold in
toxieants to "persons of known intem-
perate habits" Judge Seibert also said
ne would have refused the application
of d. C. Nary Elliottsburg.
Withdraws Application
In the case of Mcclellan Cox, pro-
prietor of hotel in Blain, e>even of
the signers to the application testified
in court that the license was not neces-
sary and for that reason Judge Seibert
said he would have denied the licensing
of that place.
T. H. Butturff, proprietor of a bot
tling works IN Newport, withdrew his
application after remonstrance was
filed.

There are few persons in the country
to-day more qualified from standpoint
of experience to advise ambitious vocal
students, particularly girls with operatic
inspirations, than Elaine de Sellem, the

"The pity of it. I have been re-

anything like success. Studios are filed

money to say nothing of nervous en-

plorable faet-not twenty-five per cent.
of those who give vocal instruction are
qualified to teach the art correctly.
There is more chicanery and humbug
in voice teaching than in all other de-
partments of the musical profession
combined; it is for this reason that
there ought to be laws prohibiting the
incompetent from running voices and
blasting hopes. Not week passes but

whole structure will be completed

The mausoleum is of Egyptian style
OF architecture, one of the predomin-

ior walls slant In from the bottom and
are not plumb. A site comprising 5000
square feet-a triangular tract, bound
ed by drives on all three sides-lying at
the east end of the lake was chosen for
the building site. The land was grad
ed up to give an elevation above the
surrounding level

preaching it, which will be fanked by
seats that attach to the mausoleum at
its corners. The entrance to the maus-
oleum is under portico and between

FRANCHISE ELECTION
Special Election TO Be Held in Gilman
Early in May on Proposal 20 Grant
Franchise to Iowa Railway and Light
Con,n ANY, feef

A special election is to be held in
Gilman In a few weeks, probably early
In May. to vote on the proposal OF
granting an electrical franchise to the
Iowa Railway and Light Company, Of
Cedar Rapids and this city. The
franchise is to be for furnishing light
and power.
Negotiations that have been in pro-
gress between the company and the
Gilman council have resulted in an
agreement being reached as to terms
for furnishing power for pumping the
water for the town Of Gilman. lighting
the streets, and furnishing commercial
light and power.
The power will be furnished from
the plant In this city. The companys
high tension line between tins city
and Tama will be tapped at LeGrand,
and new line nine miles long will be
built south into Gilman. I. is quite
probable that Dunbar will also be
served from this line, as the line will
pass very close to the village. The
company agrees to supply Gilman with
light and power within six months
after the franchise is voted. The peo-
pie of Gilman are very much inter-
ested in the prospect of having cleo
trio lights available, and it is general
ly agreed that the franchise will carry
by a large majority.
