Every nerve is a . live wire connecting some part of the .body with the brain. They are so numerous that if you penetrate the skin with the point of a needle you will touch a nerve and receive a shock pain it is called. Aches and pains come from a pressure, strainor injury to a nerve ; the moffe prominent the nerve the jffeatcr the pain. When the ain comes from a larpc ncrufit is called Neuralgia whether it be Jjje facial nerves, 'or the heartrptomach, sciatic or other orninent nerve branch.

Vaudeville at the Gennett. When Manager Swisher secured

Fred WyskofT and company for his bill at the Gennett this week he made a most happy selection for this trio made a hit from its first appearance before a Gennett audience and se cured enthusiastic recalls from the matinee audience of Monday to say nothing of the enthusiastic welcome at night. The Wyckoffs present a comedy sketch entitled "Plain Folks" and Fred WyckofT himself as Daniel Dudley, a good-hearted farmer, is a laugh-producer. As a singer and dancer, his antics are exceedingly mirthprovoking, while Frank M. Gibbons, as Zeklel Smily the town constable, gives him able support. They have some catchy songs. Franklin Jerome and company have a novelty turn in presenting a portion of the play "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," and Mr. Jerome does some clever work as a crayon artist. DeVaro and Curtis furnish the acrobatic part of the program with work on the ring and bar, with a little comedy thrown In. DeVaro is good in the acrobatic line. Zampa, the musical drummer girl, not only plays the drum with ability, but sings and plays other musical instruments at well. Harry Jolson, singing and talking comedian, tells some of the best of Hebrew stories and sings some up-to-date songs. The illustrated songs this week, sung by Mr. Renk, are "Only a Message from Home, Sweet Home" and "Don't Cry. Katie Dear," and the motion pictures are "The Great Sea Serpent," "Anna Held" and "Moving Day," the last mentioned being an especially amusing film. Vaudeville at the Phillips. Charles and Minnie Burroughs, as predicted, are a strong feature on the bill at the New Phillips this week and put on one of the best examples of refined vaudevillle. Their "A Domestic Blizzard" is a laugh producer in no small degree and in addition thev introduce comedy, piccole and original songs. Mrs. Burroughs goes into the philanthropic business, and gives away all Burrough's clothes and also goes into the reforming business by serving tea and cake to sinners. To even it up, he gives away her clothing and also passes out the furniture. It ends in a happy compromise. Leon and Bertie Allen, presenting a musical comedy entitled "A Girl and a Man" were warmly welcomed and the audience insisted without success upon their recall. Miss Alice Hamilton character artist, is one exceedingly clever In depicting the Bowery, Irish, German and Hebrew characteristics. She responded to the urgent demands of the audience for a second appearance last night. Tot Young, comedian and banjo wizard, is a lively blackface performer and the term wizard in connection with his musical work is not ill-timed. Casad and DeVerne, musical comedy artists, are up to the standard in this line. In addition there are two Illustrated songs sung by Miss Leona Thompson, "On the Pillow of Despair" and "Where Rolls the ' Organ," and the Philoscope shows some good motion pictures. All told, the bill is a deserving one. Manager Murray is now contemplating a change on Saturday night, giving two performances instead of one in order to accommodate the mahy who are on the streets on that night and who do not find it convenient to attend the first performance. New Officers Named. The Epworth League of the Chester Methodist church has elected the following officers: Pres. Mrs. Fannie Martin. First Vice Pres. Miss Chessie Joy. Second" Vcie Pres.

The dreaded San Jose eale, which has been destroying millions of fruit trees in the United States, has reached Eastern Indiana and evidence of its work have been found In Orchards in Delaware county. Prof. Troop, state entomologist is expected to make a visit to Eastern Indiana this week to make a detailed study of conditions and devise a way to stamp out or re strain the pest. The San Jose scale is an almost in flnite8imal bug, which is attracted to fruit trees and speedily saps their vitality, causing them to dfe. The bug has caused the destruction of numberless acres of fruit-bearing trees, with the consequent pecuniary loss to thou sands of dollars to fruit growers. The coming of the bugs has been herald ed several times in the past, but this Is the first time that they have been seen in Eastern Indiana. Notice.

A TRUTHFUL DOG STORY Press Agent cf the Seibel Bros., Dog and Pony Circus Tells the Romantic Tale of "Dishrag" and "Soapsuds" the Star Performers of the Aggregation.

"It is one of the inborn rules of the profession for the newspaper men to take a 'grain of salt with the stories told by the press agents of a circus or a dog and pony show" said T. W. Ballenger, press agent of the Seibel Brothers dog and pony show to the Palladium last evening, "but here Is a story, fresh from the frying pan, that netlher has appeared in print nor is 'circus fiction.' It differs from many so called wonderful exploits of animals because It is true. Last sea son when - the Seibel show was In Nashville, Tenn., our trainer" purchased a dog of a very high degree of intelligence that was immediately put through the course as a rider. Names for circus dogs are given without much consideration, and the newcom er was christened "Dishrag" though by what right I never have been able to tell. Well, anyway, Dishrag be came the star riding dog of the Seibel shows and probably no other canine in the world understands the art of horseback riding as well. The season passed without special incident to Dishrag and this season when we op ened at Milwaukee the dog as usual made the hit. of the performance. From Milwaukee the shows made a 1,400 mile jump to Jacksonville, Fla., and when Nashville, Tenn., was reached we stopped to feed and to give the animals exercise. The half hundred dogs were taken from their kennels for a romp over the streets. Two hours later when the call for reloading came, Dishrag was missing. The canine had recognized that Nashville was his old home and was out seeing the -sights. The train had to leave THE REPORT OF LIGHT COMMITTEE (Continued from Page I ) charge of sixty-five dollars per arc light for street lighting. In the report of Mr. McMahan will be noticed a balance sheet of the assets and liabilities. This shows a gross deficit up to April first, 1906, of $15,488.77. This deficit consists of three items: First, the interest on the bonds which has accrued up to the time the Electric Light Commissioners assumed control of the plant, in the sum of $2,160.00. Second, interest on advancements made by the city out of its general fund, computed at $5,171.83. The method of this computation is shown in Mr. McMahan's report. As a matter of fact this Interest has not been taken account of by the city and therefore could not be shown in the casn receiplH and expenditures year by year. The difference between the total cost of the plant and the amount of bonds outstanding ' is represented by advancements from the city treasury. The total of these advancements has-been $85,342.21. The plant has paid back to the city and the same has been covered into the general fund, $31,999.84; the net amount of the city's advancements is $53,342.37. The third item of the deficit is $8,156.94 caused by depreciation. The city, therefore, has invested in its municipal light plant the sum of $197,342.37. It has to show for this assets with a present value of $181,353.60. At the present rate of gain the deficit should be wiped out within the next two years. The Present Physical Condition of The Plant. The report of Mr. Matthews before published gave a detailed account of the present physical condition of the plant. In it a number of recommendations are made' to which the committee has given attention. The first and most important of these is the recommendation to Install "a unit of capacity such that in connection with the smaller of the present units all existing demands could be met, with a reasonable margin for growth of business." Mr. Matthews further stated that "this would afford opportunity to keep the spare unit In first class working shape and would minimise the danger of a break-down with all the resulting dissatisfaction and loss of business." Without presuming to make a more specific recommendation than this just quoted, the committee Is of the opinion that the installation of an additional unit is an improvement of urgent necessity upon which the present safety and future development of the plant depend, yet it does not recommend the out-lay as that is a mater of municipal expenditure to be determined by the condition of the city's finances. Taken as a whole, the report of Mr. Matthews shows a favorable condition existing and his further sugestion in reference to changes are submitted in their entirety without comment, save in one particular. Mr. Matthews criticises the conditions at the intake. In the opinion of the Committee, it would be necessary, in order to remedy these conditions, to purchase some outlaying ground between the plant and the river. At present the property of The Richmond Light, Heat & Power Company Joins that of the municipal light plant and precludes ptyper ingress and egress from the municipal plant and the river might be taken under condemnation proceedings, it Is believed that the city should avail itself of a contract of purchase now had with the Richmond Light. Heat & Power Company by which that company agrees to sell to the city the parcel of ground . referred to for the sum of One Thousand Dollars. Unless this land Is acquired, It may be made use of by the Richmond Light, Heat & Power Company In such a way as to Interfere with the proper and economical management of the plant. The Out-Look For the Future. Provided no extension Is fraated

without the famous riding dog and the attaches were all in mourning of course. We thought Dishrag stolen or lost and the Nashville police were furnished a discription of the dog so that they might begin a systematic search. Well to make the story short, Dishrag evidently saw all of Nashville

he desired in a few houis and returned to the depot bringing with him a stray dog that he had taking a liking to. Discovering the familiar train out of sight, Dishrag was brokenhearted but not discouraged. He ran up and down the tracks, followed by the strange dog and finally jumped on the platform of a passenger train- standing in the sheds. The conductor discovered the collar that gave the clue that the animal was a circus dog, and supposing the other animal was also he permitted them both to rest in the baggage car while "the train pulled southward. Ten miles from Nashville the passenger train passed the show train and Dishrag caught a glimpse of it. He set up a howl that dlsturned the trainmen greatly. The strange dog chimed in also and it was decided the only thing to do was to stop the train and permit the vagabond dogs to rejoin their rightful train. This was done. It was a warm welcome that Dishrag received and the strange dog also, got the hand of joy. Instead of being kicked out the new dog was christened "Soapsuds" and today as a riding companion to Dishrag he also has reached the very pinacle of dog fame. When the circus comes to Richmond next Monday and Tuesday Dishrag and Soapsuds will be seen in a double act that will delight the audience, especially the children." to the Richmond Light, Heat & Power Company of its franchise under the ordinance of January 15th, 1894, for commercial and domestic lighting, the right of the Richmond Light, Heat & Power Company to furnish commercial and domestic lighting to the citizens of Richmond will cease in January, 1919. If the municipal plant is maintained and operated by the city and no new franchise granted either to the Richmond Light, Heat & Power Company in extension of its old franchise or to any other corporation to perform like service, the City of Richmond will after that date have for all time to come a monopoly of the commercial and domestic lighting. Now that the city plant is making a profit even in the face of competition, its position day by day will be more and more valuable. And on the other hand, with the term of the franchise of the competing company having but thirteen years more to run, the position of the competing company day by day becomes of less value. If the municipal plant were merely meeting expenses, in this view of the case, it would be wisdom for the city to continue its operation until the. day it wouid have complete monopoly of the field; with the plant earning money now, and looking to the future when it will control the lighting situation, all doubts as to the city's policy in reference to the operation of the plant should be set at rest. , In case it should be decided, however, to sell the municipal plant, the Common Council would be authorized and empowered to provide for S'ich sale by a two-third vote, prescribing the manner and the price at which the property would be sold, together with the terms and conditions of ; such sale. Before the passage of such ordinance of sale the plant would 1 have to be appraised by three disinterested freeholders of the county to j be appointed by the Judge of the Wayne Circuit Court none of which appraisers would be residents or taxpayers of the City of Richmond. These three men would make an appraisement in writing and the plant could not be sold for less than the full appraised value of the property less the amount of any bonds, liens or other indebtedness due upon such property, all of which Indebtedness should be assumed and paid by the purchaser as a party of the purchase price of such property. No sale, however, of the municipal plant can be Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages andlessensambition; beauty. vigor ana cheerfulness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or diseased. . Kidney trouble-has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, aependnpon it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of SwamD-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fiftycent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have -a sample bottle by mail free, also a Bom ec ewwap-Boo. pamphlet telling all about Swamp-Root, including many of the thousands of testimonial letters received from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., be sure and mention this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle.

Absolute style is a qualit Come in and see, and 914 Main WW NO made until the proposition of sale with the price offered which cannc be less' than the appraised value of the property, is submitted to a vote of the people. Unless a majority of all the votes cast at a special election held for the purpose are for the sale, the sale as provided for by the ordinance cannot be made. The law further provides that the proceeds of any such sale shall be paid into the general funds. WThile in case of such a sale the purchaser would necessarily assume the pament of the outstanding $144,000.00 of bonds, yet it must be remembered that these bonds are a direct obligation of the city and that the city cannot avoid the payment of them when due even though prospective purchasers of the plant might obligate themselves to assume the payment of such bonds. If the plant were sold and the proceeds covered into the general fund of the city, the moneys so received might be used for the purposes specified by the City Council and when the bonds were due the city would have to pay them. The prospect of such a complicated and dangerous method of the city financiering is not pleasing, as it might open the door to extravagance "and waste and without great safe-guards thrown about the whole transaction, the city would be seriously injured. In conclusion, the committee begs to state that it Is its unanimous opin ion that the proposition of Mr. Wltherby, as herein before set out, should not be accepted by the city. (Signed.) Henry W.
