Contracts are Let For Improvements in New Reeveston Place.
A remonstrance from the Richmond Roller Mills company against the conBtruction of a new dam across the river below the Main street bridge, again brought this matter before the board of works this morning. f. G. Carpenter, manager of the Richmond Roller mills near the Do ran bridge, claims that there was a constant backwater because of the dam, and wants the city to prevent it from being built as high as it was last year. He says that a darn two feet lower would answer the requirements of the plants and at the same time would relieve his plant of the back water. No action was taken on the remonstrance. It was placed on file and will be brought up when the T. 11., I and K traction company and the Light, Heat and Power company take further steps to have the dam built. The contract for an improvement amounting to $18,722.50 was awarded to John Hipskind. The improvement which consists of three parts, is Reeveston, and will be built with no expense to the city. The contracts provide for the grading graveling, curbing and filling of the street, the placing of curbs around the park places, cement walks on both sides of the streets and the filling of the parking places with good earth suitable for sowing grass. The contractor also has a contract for the construction of cement walks. The contract for the construction of a cement alley a half a square long between Tenth and Eleventh streets, north of Main, was awarded to F. E. Slick. Because all traffic to the hospital must pass over the Tenth street bridge, the board will take steps to have a smooth flooring replace the present rough board floor of the bridge. The owners of the K-D Cabinet company, whose building is now under construction on Center street, petitioned the board for fire protection. The city agreed to pay for one fire hydrant which gives the company a 500-foot extension without expense. The company will arrange for the laying of the remaining 250-foot main extension. A complaint by Dr. E. B. Grosvenor that the water works company has failed to place National avenue in its original condition after making main repairs, was ordered Investigated. The board requested the company to repair Pearl and Fifth streets in West Richmond, as it is claimed that the water works company left the streets in a bad condition, following the laying of a main in West Pearl street. A resolution for the opening of South 1 streets from Eighth to Ninth streets was adopted. The sewers failed to carry off the water from the heavy rain Saturday afternoon and the board received the usual number of complaints today. In West Richmond, 11 sewer heads were almost washed out by the rain. Because of the complicated system of keeping books according to the form cT the public utilities commission, Superintendent Nimrod Johnson, of the city light plant, will take up with the board of works Thursday the plan adopted by other companies here. The water works company and telephone company have secured the services of an expert, accountant to tench the bookkeepers the new system. Pratt verified the figures in the Maury valuation of the water works company for the city, and is well known here. The bookkeepers of the city claim that the members of the commission do not understand the system and have secured experts to explain it to them. The methods were borrowed from the public service commission of Wisconsin. Three days have been set aside when the commission experts will explain to expert accountants the method of keeping books according to the system. There are now fourteen accounts on the books of the city light plant. These will be replaced by 12S accounts when the public service commission is in use. The new machinery is rapidly being Installed in the light plant. Two engines and generators are expected next week. Iast week a large exciter was installed. The walls of the buildings are completed to the middle of the second story. City Attorney Bond will petition ihe court for the appointment of an appraiser to take the value of an excitor which the city plant wishes to sell. The machine is too small for the work at the plant. Because it is valued u more than $100. state law requires that it be appraised before it is sold MEETING TO FIX SALARIES TONIGHT A special city council meeting will be held tonight for the purpose of fixing the salaries of the city officials who assume office in 1911. Appropriations for increases in the salaries of the officials were made last month, but without a cltY ordinance the increases would be invalid. Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous diffieulti -Spurgeop.

(National News Association) FT. WAYNE, Ind., Sept. 8. George Decker, a carpenter, 48, despondent because he could not conquer his desire for liquor, committed suicide and his body was found today dangling from the end of a rope attached to a limb of a tree on the embankment of the Maumee river in lakeside, a suburb. After fixing the noose Decker leaped from his seat in the tree and his neck was broken by the fall. Had the rope broken he probably would have drowned. Decker disappeared Saturday leaving a note to his wife and daughter explaining that his desire- for- liquor had driven him crazy. DEFEAT AMENDMENT WASHINGTON. Sept. 8. -By a vote of 31 to 53 the House today defeated an amendment to the Urgent Deficiency bill to increase from $50,000 ' to $100,000 the appropriation for an investigation by the bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, of the cost of Labor and production at home and abroad. TREATING A DOG BITE. Act Promptly and There Is Little Danger of Hydrophobia. If you should be bitten by a dog suspected of rabies don't get scared, but act pcomptly. Immediately apply a tourniquet above the wound. No tourniquet being at hand, use a handkerchief or necktie, twisting it tightly with a stick. The poison should then be sucked out and the wound cauterized as soon as possible. If it is believed the dog was mad the Pasteur treatment should be resorted to. Only two-tenths of 1 per cent of those who take this treatment develop hydrophobia. Although the gerui of rabies has not been demonstrated, it is generally conceded the disease has a specific germ. Rabies never occurs in the human spontaneously, but always by inoculation. It is also moderately well demonstrated that dogs and other animals likewise contract the disease through inoculation. Many more male than female dogs go mad. The reason given for this is that male dogs right among themselves, but a male seldom bites a female. The proportion is seven mad males to one mad female. Contrary to popular belief, rabies is more common in a temperate zone than in the tropics or the arctic region and in spring and fall than in summer and winter. The only sure preventive thus far found for rabies is thorough muzzling, wlch is another proof that the disease has its origin in inoculation. There is a disease called lyssophobia which closely resembles hydrophobia and is brought on by nervous dread. It has been contended by some that there is really no difference between these diseases and that hydrophobia is Imaginary. This claim is refuted by the fact that animals and very young children, knowing neither imagination, dread or fear, do succumb to a disease exhibiting the unmistakable symptoms of hydrophobia. These symptoms are. first, a fear of water, from which the disease derives tts name; then the mnscles stiffen and an attempt to drink water brings on convulsions; next the mere sight of water is sufficient to bring on a recurrence of the convulsions, fever sets in and death ensues in about a week, generally from exhaustion. There is no known remedy for rabies, though opiates are freely used to alleviate the pain. Dr. John J. Reilly in New York World.

Postmen In Some Countries Are Never Sure of Their Lives. The camel postman in the Sahara hasn't any cinch that is. if he has a family he's anxious to live for or happens to be leading a care free bachelor existence, for he needs all the nerve that he can possibly summon on every trip 'that he makes, for the wild tribes regard him as their particular prey, and he never does know when he starts out whether or not he is going to reach his destination. Neither has the postman in some parts of Switzerland the safest Job in the world. In fact, in several places in that country it is considered Just about the most dangerous profession that a man can enter. You see some of the postofBces are situated at a height of 7,000 feet. There is even a letter bos at the summit flf Languard. which is nearly 10.000 feet above the sea level. Here all sorts of disastrous things have happened to unfortunate carriers of malL Three have been crushed to death by avalanches and a large number swooped down upon and killed by fierce eagles Then in India the postman always has to be on the loofcout for snakes. It Is claimed that within the last year loO were killed by snake bftes and twenty -seven eaten by tlcers. Queer, isn't it, when in this country the business of being a postman seems about the mast harmless and least dangerous of any a man could pick out? In parts of Siberia they have only two mail deliveries a year, while in the Interior of China they have no regular delivery or regular postman. Chicago Tribune.

KISSING ADVANCE COSTS HICKS FINE "Come on kiddo, gimme a kiss," said Walter Hicks at the carnival Saturday nignt to a pretty young woman who was selling chances at a booth. The woman became angered at Hicks' repeated demands that she allow him to make love to her and told her husband who was bally hoo for the outfit. The men belonging to the carnival j challenged the local man to a battle and the three departed for a dark place outside the grounds in which to settle the argument. However, park superintendent Hollarn appeared just as the first blow was struck and arrested the party. The carnival men accused Hicks of assault and battery, but refused to appear against him this morntirg. He was charged with intoxication and fined $1 and costs, which he paid. TO DECIDE ISSUE The controversy between Contractor John Hipskind and the county commissioners as to who is liable for the damages done to the Liberty pike as result of the March floods will be decided by the county attorney this week. The .commissioners contend that the damages must be repaired by the contractor as the road had not been accepted by them. DREAMING OF FALLING. What Happened In the One Known Case'of Hitting the Ground. Frobably all of us have dreamed that we were falling down the back stairs or a high cliff, then gliding swimmingly off into space. This dream gives the same sensation as a rapidly descending elevator or a fast swaying swing. We are worried for the instant about what will happen when we strike bottom, but we never strike. Either we are off on another dream before that disastrous event happens or we awake. There is an old superstition that if one ever hit the ground the shock would kill the dreamer, but thfs is difficult of proof, for. as onr Irish neighbor might remark, the only wa it -ould be proved would be to have the dreamer wake up dead and tell ns about it. Of the thousands who wrote letters a few years ago to an Englishman who had published an essay on the subject but one correspondent had dreamed that the fall continued clear to the ground. This woman dreamed she fell off a tall rock. When she hit j the ground she was broken into small 1 bits, but a sort of second self gathered j up the pieces and glued thera together, j makiug a piece of humanity as gxa a new. This dream, however, is unique Chicaco Tribune.
