Mr.. Bartel said he had little faith
in the commission, which brought
Bavis to his feet with the reply:
$50 far the dealings of the com
mission with the people of Richmond
have been fair. 1t saved the people
$4,000 annually in the water works

organization on its victory. None Of

yapid eulogy that usually attends q
celebration OF this kind.
Only one sentence was spoken that
Epertained directly to the celebration
and that was by President Bhckwedel
who crowded into a few words the
sentiment of the whole association.
eavis Expresses Thanks.
II cannot express my thanks and
that of the association for the location
of the bridge at South G street, after
all these years of fighting"
His were the words of a true citi-
zen. He and his organization with
victory in their grasp, were thankful
but not vain. The bridge had been
won; other problems now took its
place.
Mr. Blickwedel then called for the
report of the joint bridge committee
of the south siders and the southwest
association. Henry Bode. its chairman.

ton before the county commissioners.
The South West Richmond I'm

Resolutions Adopted.
A motion was PASSED to put the res
olution adopted last evening in a
bridge abutment. 1t was also suggest
ed the tablet on the bridge show the
names of the bridge committee.
John Reed, speaking for the west
side contingent said his association
was satisfied with G street, but that
never again would he permit himself
to go before the commissioners mug
zled.
The south side association voted to
help the west siders obtain the open
ing of d street.
Mr.. Bavis congratulated the asso-
citation on the diplomatic manner in
which the bridge problem was handled
E. H. Harris spoke along the same
lines and lauded the work of Mr.. Ba-
Wis. DR.. J. NJ. Wampler said he was
glad he was member Of the associa-
ton.
Hans Kohl said the bridge would be
of greater benefit to the west siders
than to the south.

We are so used to thinking of Lydia

q remedy exclusively for female ills that
we are apt to overlook the fact that it
is one Of the best remedies for disorders
Of the stomach.
For stomach trouble of women it is
especially adapted, as it works in COM
plete harmony with the female organ
ism, since it contains the extracts of the
best tonic roots and herbs. It tones up
the digestive system, and increases the
appetite and strength. Here is what
one woman writes showing what this
medicine does:-

to say can recommend Lydia E. Pink

BAVIS CRITICISES APATHY
TOWARD CORPORATE GREED

Using the merger of the two elec-
trio light plants as a text. Alfred Ba-
Wis. president OF the board Of public
works, preached sermon on the dan
ger OF public apathy toward corpor-
ate greed, before the South Side I'm
provement association last night.
Gas rates went to seventy cents in
Marion, Muncie and Anderson because
the people slept and the officials fail
ed to fight" he exclaimed. "All over
the country, the people are paying
high rates for public utilities to make
possible dividends on watered stock"
Mr.. Bavis reviewed the reasons that
led to the purchase of the competing
light plant, asserting that the pur-
chase was based on the business prin-
ciple that there was no reason for let
ting two plants with two operating
expenses produce what one plant
might do.
No Competition Allowed.
The only competition that could ex-
list was in service. for the public SER
Guiding competition.
Mr.. Bavis went on to show that
there should not be an increase in
gas rates because of the merger He
quoted from the decision of the pub
lie service commission to show that
the losses sustained by the gas utility
were covered in the purchase price
of the electric light plant.
THE argument Of the Light Heat
and Power company is based on an
insolvency plea. They have liabilities
Of $3SO,0OO, and they want the people
Of Richmond to pay part of them. BY
merging the plants the concern lost

loss. They are going to have fight

The annual report of the superin-

adduced to show that power could be
manufactured for less than one cent

could be offered factories.

l was very much worried when l
received Eleanor's last letter, little
book.
First, 1 knew that she must have
money to get away from the city, as
Dick had confessed to me that all the
money she had had for months he
had given her.
At last l decided to send her the
money again anonymously. Sol got
my check cashed into a $500 bill and
sent it to her.
Of course l knew, little book, that
she would Immediately understand
that l had sent the money, but 1t
would not be necessary for her to
acknowledge it. The conventions
would be respected. She could sooth
her conscience with the idea that
she was not perfectly sure who had
sent it. did not write her any more
letters and two days afterward Jim
Edie came over to the house and
said: did you know, Margie, that
Eleanor Fairlow has gone to Chi
cago to live?"
- Dick began to DluSn ana act SO
strangely that 1 was afraid Jim
would notice it and so l fastened to
remark: Eyes, poor girl, she told me
that she had found out she was
strong enough for nursing and so she
was going to Chicago to act as So
cial secretary and companion to an
old friend of her mother. l think she
will be happier there"
Eleanor Fairlow has always
seemed to me to have been spoiled by
too much luxury and indulgence, !"
said Jim. "She is one of those
women who must be taken care Of;
one of those perfectly useless fe-
males. who, nevertheless, can be
very amusing and at time most in
teresting. In fact, she is the type
of woman that most men ike-soft

cumbs, because she is not sufficient

was justified because she loved
greatly, and yet she would be think
ing of herself as victim of circum-,
stance She will make splendid adj
vertisement of some mans prosper
ity. She will wear the clothes he
buys her beautifully and will keep
his house and honor clean and
bright"
Heavens, Jim, what more do you
want in a woman?" interrupted
Dick, who had been much interested
in Jim's description of Eleanor.
WELL" said Jim, ''in the first place
l want a woman with sense of JUS
tice. One who might possibly deny
herself something because she was
made aware it belonged to another"
"Jim, l can see you are all at sea
in your estimation of Eleanor Fair
low" You see, little book, l felt so
sorry for Dick that l thought l must
take Eleanor's part. 1 knew that he
would not dare be drawn into the
controversy. 81 have always been
sorry that she would not let me like
her more, as l certainly would have
liked her to be great friends with
me-"
Jim looked very queer. Surely he
can know nothing about the affair
between Dick and Eleanor No man
would voluntarily tell, where the
woman loved and trusted him, l
thought.
AS if in answer to my self-ad-
dressed question, Dick made some
reference to a man who had recent
ly come through a big scandal.
Nothing would ever come of il"
said Dick, eff he had not been such
a fool as to have told all about it at
the club and patted himself on the
back while doing it."
'But, Dick, you and 1 both know"
asserted Jim, that a man always
tells. He has won a conquest and

notables was added to the already
large number of official visitors to
the Mississippi Power Co.'S plant at
Keokuk, when the members of the

Keokuk from St. Louis and spent two
days here.
They were greatly interested in
everything that they were shown in
connection with the big plant in the
Mississippi river at this point.
Those who composed the party were
Gen. A. w. Sapognikoff, T. R. A.,
Capt. P. A. Mozosoff, Capt. T. Giffard,

STATE GUARD GAN
: MOBILIZE QUICKLY.
LOCAL COMPANY AND BAND
COULD BE READY TO GO
SOON AFTER GALL.

Iowa troops may be called to do
duty in Mexico and on the border, is
the opinion of Guy Il. Logan and as the
Iowa National guard Is one of the few
state militias in the country whose or
gan1zation includes cavalry and field
artillery 1t may be called at any time.
Captain G. f. Schamp, of Co. G.. and
Professor Dayton of the First Cavalry
band stated this morning that both de-
partments could be ready within a
short time.
Captain Schamp stated this morning
that the local company could be ready
for entraining within twenty.four
hours. The company Is not enlisted to
its full strength now, forty-nine being
in the company when the full strength
is sixty-dve. .,.
Professor Dayton said it would only
be necessary to get the men together
and leave for the train at once. Prac-
tically all the equipment is ready and
notice. Both leaders expressed them
selves as being dubious about being
called out .".
Aside from the infantry the Iowa
guard has squadron Of cavalry, which
includes four troops and about 400 men
with headquarters at Iowa City. The
cavalry is under the command of Maj.
Ralph P. Howell of Iowa City. The
field artillery organization in this state
consists Of one battalion, or three bat
teries, with 1873 men to the battery and
with the officers would total about 420
men.
Unless it would be necessary to rush
the troops to the border the cavalry
would probably mobilize at West Lib
erty, the infantry at Des Moines and
the field artillery at Davenport.
