nary contractor cannot bid because he

Peacock. There are a number of
other contractors who have complain
ed to me but l don't care to say here
who they are"
Mr.. Jessup and Mr. Keller then in
sisted that Peacock give the names
of all the contractors who had made
complaints. He then named the firm
of D. L. Davis, Elkhart, the National
Concrete company and representatives
from other firms whose names, he
said, he did not know
Relates Other Complaints.
Mr.. Peacock then told of other COM
plants that had been made on bridges
III Wayne county by farmers.
Just before he concluded his testi-
mony this morning. he presented let
tiers that had been received from sew
eral contractors and a telegram from
ID. l.. Davis. Elkhart, which stated that
Mueller was incompetent to make
plans and specifications and denying
that he had made plans for bridges in
Butler county, Ohio, and Dayton.

county to make up entire detailed
plans and specifications for bridges"
said Wilfred Jessup in his opening
statement. 1T is this system that
Peacock is objecting to and it is not
a personal attack upon Mueller"
Prior to the opening statement of
Mr.. Jessup, Mordecai Doddridge. pres
ident OF the board, asked every man
in the court room who had any evil
dence to present to stand up and be
sworn. No one stood up and Mr.. Jes-
sup was then requested to make a
statement for Peacock.
Wants Complete Probe.
Mr. Keller said that the attack that
has been made by Peacock was on the
integrity and ability of Mueller and
consequently Mr.. Mueller was DESTROYS
Of having the whole affair investigated
to the bottom.
I'VE waive all formality of specific
charges" said Mr.. Keller. I'VE have
nothing to conceal"
Mr.. Jessup proceeded to give his
tory of the commissioners relations
with Mr.. Mueller and said that Pea
cock was making no attack upon Muei-
ler's present contract. He said that
the statutes under which the contract
with Mueller was made have not been
changed.
Mr. Peacock gets around the coun-
ty by virtue of his office and consc-
quently his office is made the clearing
house for all complaints regarding the
bridge work
THE purpose of this hearing on
Peacock's account" said Mr.. Jessup,
lis that the entire affair should be
aired because this county is on the
eve OF undertaking two large bridges.
Competition Reduced.
1.-THE system in this county where
prospective bidders are not allowed to
submit plans, reduces competition" he
continued. The county commission
ers in the past have left all the ques-
ton of compliance with the plans and
specifications with Mr.. Mueller alone.
which is poor policy. Specifications
have been made but not followed al
though no record has been made with
the commissioners.
Mr.. Keller. in his statement. said
that Mr.. Peacock is not considered by
Mueller as a competent bridge engi-
neer.
"Mr. Peacocks attitude has been
one of insinuation, creating innuendo
and the like. Let him now come for
ward and present his facts said
Keller. IF there is anything wrong
with the system, Mueller wants to get
it Strengthened out as well as Peacock.
County Demands Facts.
County Attorney Hoelscher then ex-
planned that 1t was the purpose of the
commissioners to confine the hearing
to facts regarding the integrity and
competency of Mueller as a bridge
engineer, which had been attacked by
Peacock two weeks ago.
What companies have made COM
plaints,' asked Mr. Jessup of Peacock
when he was placed on the stand.

WHY Chilly WEATHER
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says Skin Pores Are Closed and Uric
Acid Remains In Blood.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most dan
gerous of human Affections it is one
of the most painful. Those subject to
rheumatism should eat less meat,
dress warmly as possible, avoid any
undue exposure and, above all, drink
lots of pure water.
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the func-
ton Of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast 1t out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also
a means of freeing the blood of this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work. they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles caus-
ing stiffness, soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have pleasant
effervescent Whitewater drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as Well.-Adv.

FIGHT ON GERMANY

LISBON, Feb. 26.-War between
Portugal and Germany is imminent.
DR.. Alfonso Acosta, the PREMIER in a
speech in the chamber of deputies to-
day, declared he considered it in the
best interests of the nation to allow
the existing treaty with Germany to
lapse at once. He declared that Portu-
gal is prepared for any eventualities.
