There is no doubt in our minds
said Commissioner Anderson, that the
bridge is not in the condition the
three engineers that have inspected it,
have reported 1t. When the traction
officials appeared before us Saturday
morning, the subject of reinforcing the
Main street bridge was not even men
toned.
County Bridge Engineer Mueller has
a detailed list of every piece in the
Main street bridge and he is now cal
culating on just how many of these
pieces could be used in building small
er bridges in other parts Of the county.
According to his figures. the iron in
the present structure could be utilized
in building twice the number of
bridges for which appropriations will
be made by the council on September
Z. He will present this report to the
council Saturday and it will be used in
determining the amount of appropria-
lions that ought to be made on the
smaller bridges.
This report probably will delay ac-
ton on the matter Of accepting the
recommendations Of the commission
ers, which was made before the Main
street bridge crisis presented ITSELF

u. S. Is PoWer!ess,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-The Unit
ed States has no authority at present
to interfere with the spreading of the
pro-German or pro-ally propaganda.
From time to time complaints have
been heard that efforts were being
made to involve this country on one
side or the other, but in every in
stance where investigation was made,
it was found that the facts had been
greatly exaggerated.
This has been especially SO in con-
nection with the allegation that the
German embassy had foreknowledge
that the Lusitania was to be torpedo
ed. Secret service agents detailed to
the state department, and officials of
the department of justice were direct
ed to investigate and their reports in
dicated that there had been no viola
ton of any existing law.
No Cause for Action.
So far the spreading by publica-
ton of material intended to influence
public sentiment in magazines and
the like is concerned, the United States
government cannot interfere so long
as the matter is not seditious. Off
Gals of the department OF justice say
that both sides to the conflict have
taken advantage of this to the limit,
but in no case has there been any
cause for interference by federal Of
f1cials.
The department of justice, it is ad-
mitted, now is investigating charges
that certain officials connected with
the German embassy have had knowl-
edge of passport frauds, and also have
kept the German military authorities
posted on movements of troops from
Canada Most of the evidence on this
line, ct is stated, is of an intangible
character, and so far these has been
no proof of criminality. Unless con-
gress enacts new legislation, officials
say most Of the offenses complained
Of can never be considerd by court
or grand jury.

T began to think that there was nothing on earth that could make me fat I tried tonics, Gigestives, heavy eating, diets, milk, beer and almost every thing else you could thing of.
 Any man or woman who is thin can recover normal weight by the best new treatment Tonoline Tablets. II have been thin for years and be- gan to think it was natural for me to be that way. Finally I read about the rem markable processes brought about by use of Tonoline Tablets so decided to try myself. Well, when I look at myself in the mirror now, thing it is somebody else. I have put on just forty pounds during the last forty days and never felt stronger
 Tonoline Tabs are a powerful inducer to nutrition, increases cell growth, food increases the number of blood corpuscles and as a necessary result builds up muscles, and solid healthy flesh, and rounds out the figure. For women who can never appear stylish in anything they wear because of their thinness this remarkable treatment may prove a revelation.

 with the curses of his enraged en-
 ployer ringing in his ears-but With a purse of gold the gift of his recent
 mistress, in his pocket.
 Young Stevenson set out to Lon don, where his fame as a pugilist and
 as the Nemesis of highwaymen had
 preceded him. Jack Broughton was then champion of England in a
 pugiistic way, and enjoyed the pat
 ronage of the Duke of Cumberland.
 Frederick, Prince of Wales, was
 anxious to uncover a bruiser who
 might snatch Broughton's laurels,
 and he immediately took young Stev- enson under his wings.
 The Yorkshire youth was installed
 in Leicester House, where the Prince of Wales conducted gay court. Many ladies, titled granddames and
 actresses and famous beauties ire quented Leicester House. They vel
 
 open arms, and sought to console him
 for his blasted love affair.
 While he was being petted and dined by the gay following of the
 Prince of Wales, Stevenson was matched to do battle with Jack
 Broughton for the championship of England. Broughton was then con- ducting an amphitheater where he in ms n 11- art. He lived a sober and Spartan life, and was always in the best of condition.
 ! On the day of the battle a great crowd congregated at the amphi- theater. The Prince of Wales, with
 bevy of ladies. occupied ringside
 box. and the Duke of Cumberland
 was there to cheer for Broughton. Vast sums were wagered, with
 Broughton as the favorite.
 The desperate battle lasted only thirty-five minutes, and, although he battled like a demon. Stevenson was in the end stretched senseless upon the floor. He was carried away,
 a battered wreck, and although he fingered for a time, within month he succumbed to his injuries. BroughtOn was grief-striCken at the result of the bout, and. to prevent sl,c;1 disastrous results in the future, he framed the first pugilistic code. which did away with much of the brutality of pugilism. Poor Steven l son was given an elaborate funeral. and on his coffin was laid a beautiful wreath a last token of affection from his former mistress, Mrs. Sykes.
