NORTH A STREET RESIDENTS
FILE REMONSTRANCE AGAINST
PAVING IN CIRCUIT COURT

A remonstrance. signed by 60 per
cent of the property owners on North
A street. against the paving of that
street, as ordered by council last Mon
day night, has been filed in circuit
court, and duplicate copy filed with
the board Of public works. The fol.
lowing causes are cited for the filing
of this remonstrance:
First, that the improvement is not
required by public needs.
Second, that the cost of the pro-
posed improvement would be excessive
considering the character and value of
the real estate to be assessed.
Third, that the cost of the improve
ment will exceed the benefits to the
real estate to be assessed.
Fourth, that the common council has
no legal authority to order the i'm
provement made.
Retain Attorneys.
The demonstrators have retained
the law firms of Robbins & Robbins

interests.

cult court within the next five days.

STRANGE they have just filed" Presi.
dent Bavis of the board of public
works said today.
I'm the first place, North A street is
one Of the most important thorough
fares in the city, and is and has been
for some time in very bad condition.
The council has ordered it permanent
ly improved in compliance with the
policy of that body to stop the con-
stant wastage of public funds for the
repairing of streets.
City is Liberal.
THAT the cost of the improvement
is excessive is absurd. l will call at
tention to the fact that the city has
assumed forty per cent of the cost of
this improvement as it's share, or about
$4,000, whereas, under the law the
city is not obligated to pay any part
of the cost Of improving street. This
forty percent Of the cost the city as
sumes is what It would cost the city to
macadamize the street, and incident.
ally think very few people know that
the city is not obligated to macadam-
ize streets at its expense. The entire
cost of such an improvement can be
assessed against benefited properties.
Under the provision of the state law
council has undisputed authority to
order the permanent improvement of
q street,

Il heartily wish that Governor Rails

resignation and accept the office an
other term.
AS result of DR.. Hurty's hearty
endorsement, it has been suggested to
Mayor Robbins that he with a delega-

Ultra Conservative Branch of

Customs in Offering to En-

HOPE FOR REVIVAL
HOPE FOR REVIVAL
Officers of Congregation Be-
lieve Former Professors
Leadership Would Build
up Strength.

North A Street Hicksite Friends
meeting. this city, one of the Oldest
meetings of that branch of the
Friends church in the state. has for
mally offered Prof. Elbert Russell the
pastorate of the church. Prof. Rus.
sell admitted today that one Of the Of
ficers of the North A Street meeting
called upon him yesterday and asked
him if he would consider such a prop
osition.
Prof. Russell states that he inform
ed his caller that he would make no
decision as to his future activities for
at least a month. Prof. Russell last
week resigned from the faculty of
Earlham college, following which he
issued statement criticisfng the pol
icy pursued at that institution as it
pertains to the religious training and
the discipline of the students.
Depart From Custom.
The Hicksite is the conservative
branch of the Friends church. holding
tenaciously to the old customs. Like
nearly, every Hicksite meeting the
North A Street church Of this city has
tion. and this meeting wes organised
almost q century ago The. fact that
the officers of this meeting have now
seriously considered departing from
this most closely adhered to of all
ttme-hallowed customs, caused almost
as lively interest and discussion today
80 Russelrs resignation from
the -Earlham faculty last week.
the fact that meeting of the ultra
conservative branch of the Friends
church should offer its pastorate to a
man generally regarded as one of the
most advanced thinkers Of the Friends
ministry in the United States; a man
who has frequently blazed new path
ways In the theology of the church,
to the frankly expressed displeasure
OF many extreme orthodox leaders.
Officers Take Action.
1t was learned today that the decis-
ion to offer the pastorate of North A
Street Friends meeting was reached
Sunday at meeting attended by four
officers of the meeting-L. C. laval.
George Thorpe, Edward K. Wilson and
Mrs. Eliza Morris.
1t is understood that the officers of
the meeting believed that If Prof. Rus
sell accepted the pastorate there
would be a needed revival of interest
in the meeting and an increase in the
congregation and meeting activities.
What the older members of the
meeting will have to say in regard to
appointing a permanent pastor is not
known, but it is anticipated that some
may look aSkance at anv proDosa1 for
such radical departure from church
custom. It was only few years ago
that the ancient custom of having the
men sit on one side of the meeting
house, the women on the other, was
done away with, this causing much
discussion at the time.

1900 Passengers Landed ;
Crew Stands By.

TOXIC, April 12.-Five steamers
and two Japanese war ships rushed to
the assistance of the American Liner
Minnesota today in response to IS. o.
S." wireless calls stating that the liner
was ashore in the Island sea, the long
strait separating the island of Nippon
from the Islands Of Kiushiu and Shi-
koku.
A severe storm has recently been
sweeping Japan and it is believed that
this was responsible for the predica-
ment of the Minnesota.
A wireless picked up at Shimonos
Eki this afternoon stated that all the
passengers and mail of the Minnesota

taken to Shimonas Eki. The captain
and crew remained aboard the Mime

Considerable wheat was sold on this,

A FINE TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH
EASY TO MAKE AND COSTS
LITTLE.

Catarrh is such an insidious disease
and has become SO prevalent during
the past few years that its treatment
should be understood hy all.
Science has fully proved that Ca
tarrh is a constitutional disease and
therefore requires "a constitutional
treatment. Sprays. inhalers, salves
and nose douches seldom if ever give
lasting benefit and often drive the dis
ease further down the air passage
and into the lungs.
If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal
deafness or head-noises, go 10 your
druggist and get one ounce of Par
mint Double strength. Take this
home and add TO it "A pint of hot
water and ounces of graduated
sugar; stir until dissolved, take one
tablespoonful times q day.
This Will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head-noises. clog
ged nOstrils should open, breathing
become easy and mucus stop dropping
into the throat
This treatment has q slight tonic
action which makes il especially eff
fective in cases where the blood has
become thin and weak IL is easy to
make, tastes pleasant and costs little
Every person who wishes To be free
from this destructive disease should
give this treatment a trial.
