COUNCIL PASSES
LAST BOND BILL
Approves Wood Block Comprom-
Use, Pays Salaries And
Bills And Adjourns.

The final step by the city in the Gre
alton of the $4,000 of bonds with
which to purchase the fairgrounds as
city park and improve park prop
crty last night was taken by the city
council in passing an ordinance Great
ing the bonds.
The bill describes the bonds min
utely and set forth the manner in
which they shall be paid off by the
city. The measure was prepared by
attorneys for the company which pur-
chased the bonds. The issue was
granted to the Sturdivant Bank at a
premium of $1,62S.
The bill was passed unanimously by
the council. The bank officials will be
notified of the passage of the ordi
nance by City Clerk r. w. Frissell to-
day. The bonds will then be filled in,
signed by the Mayor and the City
Clerk and turned over to the bank in
return for the money on the bonds.
The time limit for the conclusion of
the sale of the fairgrounds park to
the city is February 4. The city will
have to pay $4,000 to the Fair and
Park Association officers by that time
to close the deal.
The council last night also passed
an ordinance approving the deal to
compromise the Kettle River wooden
paving block suits that the city
brought several years ago to force the
paving concern to maintain the wood
block paved streets.
The terms Of the compromise pro-
vide that the paving concern is to pay
the city $3.50 and deliver a car load
of new creOsotcd blocks to be used in
making repairs. This will settle a
suit that has been pending a long time
and by the councils endorsement of
the measure, it virtually settles the
compromise.
The regularly monthly reports of
officers We're received, salary warrants
were ordered drawn as well as war
rants to cover all bills incurred by the |
city in the last month with the excep- /
ton of a bill presented by the Board /,
Of Education.
Several days ago, the Board of Ed |
ucation ordered Pete Whitaker TO
haul II loads Of cinders from the shoe I
factory to north Fountain street near /
the Washington School
The men working under Street Com
missioner Brunkc were ordered to lay /
the cinders, but the board announced |
they would pay for the cinders. The |
bill amounts to S7.20. The council |
ordered the city clerk to send the bill |
back to the school board unpaid and /.
advise them of the agreement to pay
it themselves.
BrunkG also was instructed to invcs-
tlgate imperfect sewers on Whitener
street between Painter and Boulevard, !
Frederick street and independence and
on Good Hope near Sprigg.

ClJTTHR0AT SYSTEM
 HURTS MILK VALUE:
Dr. Conn, State Bacteriologist, Talks to Health Association

Cincinnati, O., Oct. 24.-Bacterio- logical analysis was defended as the Cnly satisfactory basis for the grading of milk. in an address before the Laboratory Section of the American Public Health association today by H. w Conn, director of the laboratories Of the Connecticut State Board of Health. MT. Conn took up the var 1ous objections made by laboratory men, purchasers and dealers and gave En answer to each one by quoting the results of an extensive investigation of the subject which he had made in Connecticut.
 For a long time the dairy in dustry has strongly insisted upon the retaining of one price of milk by every possible means" said MT. Conn, summarizing the points he had made. This they have done. doubtless. to protect the better dealers from the cutthroas prices of those who are willing to produce milk cheaply and carelesslv. Unfortunately the result has been to bring all of the higher grades of milk down almost to the level of the lower In no other in Custrv can it be said that the poorer

tention he would not have objected. The chairman says he makes no eff fort to keep any committee of legiti- mate citizens away from MT. Hughes.
 The democratic national commit tee assumes full responsibility for the article which, in part, follows:
 Charles Evans Hughes, having pub licly admitted his personal confer ence with Jeremiah A. O'Leary and his associates the democratic nation al committee yesterday disclosed de- tails of the alleged secret arrange ment between the O'Leary organiza- ton and western headquarters of the republican national committee in the interest of the Hughes candidacy. The statement is based upon the Ofti- cial records of the O'Leary OrganiZa- ton. It follows the publication yes- terday of excerpts from the official minutes, revealing for the first time the fact of the personal conference between MT. Hughes and the O'Leary committee, and setting forth the de- mand made upon MT. Hughes and the promise alleged to have been made by the republican national nominee. It also includes copies of invitations to a meeting of the American inde-
 
 the Republican house, Milwaukee, Wis, on Wednesday, October 25. One form of invitation is sent to laymen and one form to clergymen
 Both are signed by Will R. Mac Donald who was a member With Jeremiah OIeary of the special committee that waited on Candidate Hughes. This, the second instalment, sets forth verbatim quotations from the official records of OLeary's American independence conference' and from MT. Hughes speeches bear ing upon the following subjects:
 l. The working agreement between the O'Leary organization and the re- publican national committee perfect ed at the secret conference held in Chicago on September 30 between Mr. Hughes campaign managers and Daniel F. Cohalan of this city, acting as the spokesman of the O'Leary or ganization.
 9 The fulflment by Candidate Hughes of the promise alleged in O'Learys' report to have been made to the special committee of the American independent conference.'
 3. The reward of MT. Hughes and his campaign managers.
 A. The concealment by them of their dealings with the O'Leary or ganization
 The working agreement with the republican national committee, the of fcial minutes of the secret Chicago meeting on September 30, show that imm ediately after O'Leary had sub mitted his report of the Hughes per- sonal interview, as set forth in Sun days statement of the democratic na- tiona1 committee, Daniel R. Cohalan, supreme court justice of New York, who attended both the Detroit and Chicago meetings, addressed the l Chicago gathering at length, urging the wisdom and advantage of a further understanding with the re- 1 publican national committee.

grades bring the same price in market as the higher grades. Under these conditions there is not any stimulus to produce a higher grade of milk. The better class of dairymen receive no stimulus to produce a better grade, since they can get no better price than their slovenly competitor
 The only remedy will come when ,,1ilk can be sold upon it's value. The diticulty, however, has been in de- v,sing any method by which milk can be graded in such a way that the public can rely upon getting what it pays for. The experience of the past two years has shown emphatically that even in a large city like New York the public is not only willing to pay extra for q good supply of milk, but that it can be produced and properly guaranteed. The dealer is willing to pay the producer a little extra for furnishing such milk and the producer is willing to take the extra care is he can get the proper pay for it. The grading system of milk offers a way out of the present

Indoor Life Makes Fat

 huOuS Fat.

fiuors Fat.
 People who are confined within doors and who are deprived of fresh, irvigorating air and exercise must take precautiOn to guard against ver-stoutness, as fat acquired by in- door life is unhealthy and a danger to the vital organs of the body. Lack of exercise in the fresh air is said to the blood, so that it is unable to pro- duce strong muscles and vitality and the formation of unsightly and un- healthy fat is the result.
 If you are 15 or 20 pounds above normal weight you are daily drawing on your reserve strength and are con- stantly lowering your vitality by ca irving this excess burden Any persons who are satisfied in their own mind that they are too stout are ad- vised to go to the Clark and Brainerd Co., or any other good druggist and get a box of oil of korein capsules, and take one after each mean and one just before retiring at night.
 Even a few days treatment has been reported to show a noticeable ton and a return of the old energy; footsteps become lighter and the skin less fabby in appearance as super fuous fat disappears.
 Oil of korein is inexpensive, cannot injure, and helps the digestion. Any person who wants to reduce 1 5 or 20 pounds is advised to give this treat ment a trial.

WHAT THE DOCTOR KNOWS
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
 INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the condi- ton of the kidneys.
 The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patients urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are do- ing their work properly the other organs cannot readily be brought back to health and strength,
 When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health sta tistics, Bright's Disease, which is real ly an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one year, in the state of New York alone. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to pay more attention to the health of these important organs
 An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
 The mild and healing influence of this preparation, in most cases, IS soon realized, according to sworn statements and verified testimony of those who have used the remedy.
 When your kidneys require atten- tion, get Swamp-Root at once from any pharmacy. It is sold by every druggist in bottles of two sizes-50c and $1.00.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binglaamton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention the New Britain Daily Herald.

DEMOCRATS INSIST
 ON HYPHEN CHARGE
Issue Second InStallment in Face
 Of t. 0.P. DenialS

New York, Oct. 24-The democratic rational committee last night issued what it termed the "second install r1ent' of charges that a secret agree
 nent exists between Charles E. Hughes, republican presidential nom- inee and the American independence conference, of which Jeremiah A. O'Leary is one of the heads.
 Last nights statement, the demo- cratic national committee announced, lis based upon the official records of the O'Leary organization and at tempts to show by excerpts from Mr. Hughes speeches what is alleged to 1e a compliance with the demands" said to have been made upon the re- publican nominee by O'Leary and his associates.
 The statement was read over the telephone to MT. Hughes secretary at Montclair, N. J. MT. Hughes de- clared he had nothing to say last n ght concerning it.
 Jeremiah A. O'Leary in a state 1hent last night said in part, in refer ence to the democratic committees statement of Sunday
 Gov. Hughes has stated correctly what happened at our interview with him. In order to prevent any pos- sibility of misunderstanding or mis- representation, we had carefully re- Guced to writing what we wished to say to MT. Hughes. Our statement speaks for itself. The man who at tempts to find fault with any portion of it, particularly with the question we asked Whether or not MT. Hughes would administer the presidency of the United States in accordance with the spirit of the fathers and the whole American people, is not true Amer ican.''
 MT. O'Leary said there was nothing secret about the conference and asked: Why should there be ; He said the interview was given by re- quest.
 SeiberIich Denies It.
 telegram from Frank Seiberlich of Boston was given out at New York yesterday by the republican national committee in support of the denial Ky MT. Hughes Sunday night of the democratic national committees charge that the republican presiden- tiaI candidate entered into a secret a greement with the American inde- pendence conference, of which Sci berlich and Jeremiah A. O'Leary are members. The telegram reads:-
 'The statement made by MT. Hughes relative to conference with of the American indepen- dence conference is absolutely true. MT. Hughes saw the committee of which I was a. member, made no promises, did not criticize Theodore Roosevelt, and made a statement to tic committee that he stood for all American rights"
 William R. Wilcox, republican na- tiona1 chairman, said in making the telegram public that it was a volun- tary message, unsolicited by the na- tional committed MT. Wilcox yes- tcrday characterized the democratic committees report as a "fasco' at tempt to prove a "hyphenate alliance' on MT. Hughes part.
 ssThere is not a shred of evidence that MT. Hughes has knowledge that OLeary would make a statement to the American independence confer ence of promises to frame his speech to please the hyphenates, declard MT. Wilcox.
 MT. Wilcox declared he had no committee to meet MT. Hughes, but that if it had been called to his at-

Must Have Protection.

The foundation of this prosperity is
not even as stable as the sand itself.
1t is true that, while the war lasts, we
may be able as is often done in great
structures where the foundation is uA-
stable, to dig down deep enough to
build foundation on which to buttress
our prosperity without destroying our
prosperity, but he would be a foolish
man, guilty of an objectionable blum
der in the study of economics, If he
did not recognize that war has created
our prosperity, and that when a read
1ustment of Europe's condition is over
our prosperity will end, unless we have
safeguarded the situation by the crea-
ton of u protective tariff as essential
to save us from industrial and CONNER
cial destruction as our navy and army

BUILT UP INDUSTRY
Results of Protective Tariff on
TinpIate.
Has Made the United States an Ex-
porter Instead of an Importer, and
Lowered the Price to the
Consumer.

No proteetionists who ever sought
duty upon an infant industry were
ever accused more roundly by the free
traders than the advocates of a protec-
tive tariff on tinplate. When the pro-
tective duty for tinplate was finally es-
tablished in 1891, the total production
in this country was 100000 pounds.
Nearly all the tinplate used here was
imported. The revenue tariff advocates
said that the protective duty would not
build up tinplate industry, but would
merely have the effect of increasing
the cost of tinplate.
Yet, as a result of the protective tar
iff. the quantity of tinplate produced
in the United States now exceeds
2,000,000,000 pounds per annuin, or
about five hundred times as much as
before the protective duty was estab-
lished. The industry has been con-
stantly growing. In 1904 production
had reached 1,052O00O00 pounds, and
since then it has been nearly doubled.
Not only was the price lowered. but
the industry has grown to the point
where the United States is at last be-
coming an exporter of tinplate. The
Dutch East Indies and the Malayan
peninsula formerly exported vast guam
titles of tin, but there was exported
in September from the port of New
York alone 2,250000 pounds in tim
plate TO the Dutch East Indies; 2.0O0,-
900 pounds to British India; more than
100000 pounds to Australia; more
than 10000 pounds to New Zealand,
and large quantities to China, the
Philippines, Siam and French Indo-
China. In the fiscal year which ended
last June, the export of tinplate to the
section of the world from which the
tin is drawn amounted to about 20O'-
100000 pounds, the tin having Travelled
1900 miles from the mines in the ORR
ent to the factory here, and the tin
plate another 1900 miles in return.
The slightest consideration of the
amount of work and wages given TO la
Dor as a result of the protection of this
industry will show the way protec-
tive tariff operates.
