MANY WANT To
PURCHASE THE
CITY BONDS
SEVERAL BUYERS WE'RE AT THE
MEETING OF THE CITY COUN-
Gil LAST NIGHT - NEGO-
TlATING FOR BOND ISSUE.

At the meeting of the Board of
city commissioners last night several
bond buyers were in the city to
negotiate for any city bonds the
commissioners might contemplate
putting on the market, attracted here
by the report that the city was about
to issue bonds for sewer and water
extension. No action was taken in
the matter, as the mayor is out of
the city at present, and besides def
mite plans for this issue have not
been made, although it is recognized
that the necessity exists.
Besides sewer and water extern
sion bonds, a bond issue will have
to be made for the erection of the
convention hall upon the lot recently
purchased by ten business men and
held by them until such time as
the city is in position to take the
property over. Just how much both
issues will require has not been
determined.
Aside from discussing these mat
ters, routine business was transacted
and a resolution read calling for the
paving of G street, southwest, from
Stanley boulevard to Moore street.
Regular bills were audited and al.
lowed, after which the commission
ers adjourned.

Here's A Tip On Rheumatism
Follow HD-~
AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION

When your arm or your leg feels 'all knot
ted" with rheumatism, when you feel as though
your muscles were tiled up with rope" you
are really describing your pains accurately.
Rheumatism is a condition of the body when
acids and other deposits Of impurities are ac-
tualy "ueing up" the strands of muscles in
your body or strangling the nerves and thus
producing the awful shooting pains of sciatica.
lumbago, etc. Medical authorities agree that
these acid deposits are carried and deposited
by the blood in the various parts of the body.
1t stands to reason, therefore, that local appli'
cations such as rubbing with so-called remedies
can't do any permanent good. At best they
cen relieve the pain little and only Tor
little while. The only way to effect a real cure
is to attack the real cause.-the blood. 1t is
cleansed from the troublesome deposits by

 MT. Baker was the presidents first choice. but Mir. Wilson characteristic cally looked over the whole field and came back to his original selection He decided not to disturb the agricul tural or interior portfolios because of the remarkable service both Houston and Lane were rendering in their re spective posts.
 The appointment is a personal one with the president. Early in the 1912 campaign he became much impressed with MT. Bakers ability and energy in public office. He was popular mayor of Cleveland. and the president thought seriously of taking him into the cabi net when 1t was first organized. As a matter of fact, MT. Wilson did offer tho secretaryship of the interior to Mir Baker when he had in mind selecting MT. Lane for another portfolio Mir Baker declined it, preferring to serve out his term as mayor of Cleveland.

VICTORY

Suffrage Workers May Not

Peans Of Joy
PLANK ALL WOMEN ASKED
Would Put Party on Record
Favoring a Consritu-
tional Amendment

st. Louis, June IA victory for
suffragists in the Democratic national
convention today appeared SO close
that General Updegraffs' welI-laid
plans to keep silent her 5000 march
ars' in a walkless. talkless, golden
lane" demonstration, appeared likely
to be shattered.
The participants had promised their
general faithfully, that during the
two hours of the display they would
not utter sound, and then in the
closing hours of the preparation of the
tentative draft of the suffrage plat
form plank, rendered them by the
Democratic leaders, put them in a
shouting mood.
The plank contains everything
which the suffragists have been fight
ing for. 1t would put the party on
record as favoring the passage of a
constitutional amendment to enfran-
chise women. The plank as drafted
refers to the large number of voting
women in twelve enfranchised states,
one of the principal arguments the
women have been using regarding
their strength.
Members of the National American
Woman's Suffrage association are ex-
pected to put their unqualified approv-
lal on the plank today and representa-
tives of the woman's party have al
Iready indorsed it. Suffragists today
continued their street speaking and
demonstrations and planned to appear
before the resolutions committee
Thursday as If no plank had been
submitted to them, realizing that there
may be slip between the Endorsement
of the plank and it's acceptance by the
committee.
Anti-suffragists redouhled their ef-
forts to defeat the adoption OF the
plank.
