the county to keep them in condition

Captain Otto. who will father the

To an inteligencer reporter Captain
OTTO. in explaining the bill, said in
part:

that it is but just and fair that the

OF the money and the city providing
the remainder This Is hardly fair,
as in many instances the property
owners who have contributed most to
the paving seldom. If ever. have occa-
sion to use the streets.
Take for example. McColloch street.

streets in the city. 1t IS one of the

WILL remain
REV. c. McKIBBIN WILL CON
TIME AS PASTOR OF PRES
BYTERIAN CHURCH.

Some weeks ago Rev. G. McKibbin,
pastor of the Presbyterian church,
announced to his congregation that
he contemplated resigning his pas
~torate, but since that time he has re-
considered and will remain.
Prominent among the reasons
leading up to Rev. Mr.. McKibbin's
determination was a desire TO re-
move to a milder climate. He has
been confined to his home by illness
at times during the cold weather OF
winter and decided that his health
would be better in a less rigorous
climate. During the time his resig-
nation was under consideration, Rev.
Mr.. McKibbin received f~lattering
calls to church work in other locali-
ties. and also was offered opportu-
mites to engage in business. In the
meantime his Madison congregation
was busy and when his resignation
was formally rendered at a business
meeting last Thursday evening it was
promptly rejected. After discussion
Rev. Mr.. McKibbin took the matter
under further consideration, and al
the regular services of the church
yesterday morning he announced
that he had decided to continue his
pastorate here.
The announcement was received
with pleasure by his congregation
and will also be a source of salts
faction to citizens of Madison general
ly. Rev. Mr.. McKibbin has been a
resident of Madison the past five
years or more. He has been ener-
getic in his church work and for the
general moral welfare of the city
and his removal from the city would
be looked upon as a loss, not only
as a minister, but a citizen.

PUBLIC BUILD.
ing TO Begin
MADISON TO REALIZE LONG
STANDING IMPROVEMENT.

The following telegram was re-
ceived at The Daily Leader office
today:
Washington, ID. c., Jan. Is, 11;44
a. nj. F. Stahl: Advertisements
inviting bids for the construction of
a p~ostoffice at Madison will be issued
January 22, the proposals to be open
ed March s.
&C. H. Dillon.
The site for the building, corner
Harth ven and Fifth street, was
purchased by the government several
years ago. The appropriation, $685.
600, was made three or four years
ago and since that time an additional
appropriation of $12,0 600 has been
made by congress. The appropria-
ton for the site was $4,000, but the
entire appropriation was not used in
the purchase. Steps were taken last
summer to begin work by govern
ment engineers securing samples of
the soil of the site in order to deter
mine the necessities of the founda-
ton walls. The city was also re-
quested to extend water mains to
the site, which has been done.
The cause of the delay was a reg
ular course of business whereby
Madison had to await her turn and
eral treasury for public building pur-
poses.

Hot Water Bottle
as Big as a Wash Tub

In old Japan the weather gets very cold
at times. Houses made of rice paper, while
very nice from an artistic standpoint are not
much of a success in a Japanese blizzard.
Charcoal, the popular fuel of the island, can
not be used to any great extent i'm these air
tight houses on account of the poisonous
gasses generated. Therefore, every family
that can afford it has a large rubber water
bottle about the size of a wash tub, which is
filled with hot water at bedtime and placed
in the center of the room. Around this bot
tle-lke the spOkes of a wheel-lie the MEM
bers of the family, with their feet resting on
the center of attraction. Over the whole af-
fair is an enormous circular quilt or blanket
which reminds you of the pancakes mother
used to make" Now a hot water bottle that
will withstand the kicks of the entire family
must be made of the right kind of stuff. The
material that goes into these large hot water
bottles made for the Japanese is the very
same material that goes into the smaller bot
ties sold by us, and are the only kline we show
you when you ask to see the best" We have,
sold a lot of rubber goods i'm our time, but the
bottles mentioned in this advertisement come
nearer to perfection than any we have seen
so far. If you have had trouble with rubber
goods i'm the past try one of our guaranteed
brands.
