MAY POSTPONE MEETING
Finance Committee Fixes Upon Pa
rade Night for Important

The finance committee of the city
council will meet citizens interested
in the proposed tax rate at eight
o'clock Wednesday night in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
and hear their views on the matter.
Council contemplated increasing the
rate from 50 to $3.50 on the SlO).
Inasmuch as big style show para lie
will be held that night it is hardly
probable that anyone will attend and
the committee doubtless will have to
postpone the hearing to some otheT
night.
Most of the business men interest
ed are participants in the style show
parade and if the finance committee
insist on the hearing that night they
cannot attend.

Intervention by Allies Re-
garded as lmmi-
nent
40 MARCH ON BERLIN
Old Government Removed From Dres-
:. den 10 Stuttsard--Hindenburg Still
y Popular Hero.

Washington, March 15.-Astonished
nv the Snddenness and success OF the
revolutionary uprising in Germany,
the highest officials here are unanim-
Gus in viewing the move as militaris-
tic coup and one which might demand
intervention by the allies in Germany.
There is q strong suspicion here
that the ring-leaders in the uprising
are acting on behalf Of the Kaiser or
one of his sons.
One of the gravest expectations
here is that the revolt will result in
the elevation Of Won Hindenburg to
the German dictatorship, with the
PAN Germans again in the saddle, and
) later Hohenzollern on the throne.
The cable dispatches from Berlin
show that Won Hindsnburg is the
great popular hero, but he, in the last
analysis is merely the creature of Lu-
dendorf, master mind Of the German
army and leader of the Kaiser band.
Stil another of the dangerous lead
srs in Germany at this time is Won
der. Gdltz, who was conlmander OF
the German troops in the Baltic states
anEt il was units of this command
that made the coup d'etat successful.
The first danger of the German rev
nlutions is to France, Belgium and
Great Britain, and it is believed here
that the allies will speedily inter
vene.
The new government will, if it re-
tains it's hold be asked immediately
whether or not, it intends to conform
to the terms of the armistice and this
request will probablys be made by the
Ulfbsd States. ~
BERLIN, March 15.-The old Ger
man Government has removed from

RESIDENCE BURNED


The residence OF P. 8. u. Rinker
at Rinkertos, two miles N w of M,
jackson was burned last Friday
afternoon and night. The fire was
discovered in the attic soon In the
afternoon and was beyond control
when first discoYered. 1t continued
to burn until the next day. 1t WAS
one OF the finest residences of its day.
IN the county. 1t was built by Col
Levi Rinker. very prominent citi.
zen and the father of the present
owner, about 70 years ago. 1t was
q large house built OF brick, and con-
sisted Of basement, two stories and
large attic 1t contained all the
conveniences of the time when iG was
erected. A large lot of handsome
mahogany furniture, it is said, was
stored in the house, and was saved.
The fire caught from a defectiye fue
about P. M. and continued to burn
until the next day.
Mr., Rinker and family were Twin g

ance Co. for $1,000.
The loss is roughly estimated at
from six TO ten thousand dollars.

Look at the facts of your health
SO much depends on having rec
blood. If you stand up in front O
your work with half-starved blood in
your system you are standing in your
own way. You are blocking your
own progress.
This blood makes you dull. Ii
makes you pale. You take no enjoy
ment out of your work. 1t is only
haif as good us it should be.
You can remedy that condition so
easily. Begin taking that fine tonic,
Pepto-Mangan, today and keep it up
for awhile. Your blood will become
nourisLed. Pepto Maugan makes red
blood corpuscles. You will get en-
ergy and strong power of resistance,
Instead of standing in your own way
you will push yourself ahead because
of greater vitality.
But be sure you get the genuine
Pepto- Mangan. 1t is put up in both
liquid and tablet form. Ask for
"Gude's" and be sure that the name
is on the package. The tablets or the
liquid have the same medicinal value.

A Com mendabIe Work.

For some years, several gentlemen
OF Woodstock have been raising
money in different ways, for the re-
lief OF the poor of the town. They
have relieved many persons who were
suffering on account of the lack of
the necessaries Of life. They very
quietly find out cases worthy of assis.
lance and furnish nesessaries for their
relief. There are no paid officials or
cost of distribution. Every cent con.
tributed is used for the relief of the
suffering and is aistri buted without
regard to race OR previous con.
|dition Of servitude.''
1t Is indeed an anselfsh char.
liable work that these gentlemen
are doing and 1t deserves the supper
Of the people.
