MANY QUESTIONS UP BEFORE THE BOARD

Fight 'Against Improvements on North Eighteenth Street Was Started at the Session Today. A PAVING PETITION Hospital Committee Desires a Section of North Tenth Street Improved South End Dump Abandoned. Attention of the board of public works at today's session was demanded for the consideration of a number of proposed public Improvements, and the hearing of statements of petitioners and remonstrators. Proposed improvement of North Eighteenth, from Main to E street, by the construction of curbing, gutters and sidewalks was opposed by about eighteen resident property holders, - a number of whom personally appeared to eSate their objections. "The board confirmed the resolution for the improvement, although ten days is still allowed remonstrators to file a second remonstrance and if sufficient names are secured the improvement may not be made. In speaking on this matter Will Dillman, 301 North Eighteenth, remonstrator, said that he had heard that the petitioners had made the statement that two members of the works board would vote for the improvement. Mr. Dillman.said that he did not believe any members of the body had so committed themselves, and that he placed implicit confidence in the board doing the "fair thing." Answering this, President Bavis declared that the board would give ev eryone a square deal and he said that the board members had inspected the condition of the sidewalks and believed in case the remonstrators were not in the majority that the improvement would be ordered. Used For Bathing Pool. One petitioner for a cement alley between South Tenth and Eleventh from E to G streets said that during a flood a colored woman had used the alley for a swimming pool. This fact, alone, he said, was sufficient grounds to have the improvement made, for during heavy rains from three to four feet of water stood in the alley. The resolution was confirmed. Other resolutions for improvements considered today were: Alley between Soum Twelfth and Thirteenth from to G streets. Remonstrance. Referred to engineer. Alley between Fourth and Fifth from South C to D streets. Resolution, confirmed. South West D street, graveling, grading and construction of curbing, gutters and sidewalks from Second to College Campus, Resolution modified for sidewalks only, and hearing continued until Feb. 26. Sherman street, grading, graveling roadway and construction of curbing, sidewalks and gutters from Sheridan to Butler streets. Investigation showed cost of improvement would exceel value of property and resolution, consequently, was dropped. North D street, from Ft. Wayne avenue to North Fourth street, construction of seven foot sidewalk. All bids for work above engineer's estimate and unless lowest bidder reduces bid, improvement will not be made. East Main street from Twenty-second to corporation line, which is immediately west of Twenty-fourth street entrance of park, paving of roadway. Unless the property owners remonstrate against it in ten days, the street will be paved with brick. The estimated cost is about $3,650. A Hospital Complaint. John Nicholson, Adam Bartel "and Dr. S. C. Markley, composing a committee from the Reid Memorial hospital trustees, appeared before the board and registered a complaint about the condition of North Tenth street from F to H. The trustees desire this section of the street paved with brick. The improvement was asked under the Zimmerman administration, but was remonstrated out. Desiring more adequate fire protection, residents of North J street, from Twelfth to Nineteenth, presented a petition for water main extensions. This would cover from 2,500 to 3,000 feet and if the petition were acted upon favorably would necessitate the city paying for five or six additional water hydrants at a cost of $49 eacli per year. The board members do not desire to take the initiative in this matter and have requested officers of the Morton Lake and Park company, which will be interested in the improvement, to attend next Monday's meeting of the board when the matter will be brought up again. On the strength of several complaints the board will permit no more dumping at the South Fifth street dump. HOW TO PREVENT BILIOUS ATTACKS. "Coming events cast their shadows before." This is especially true of bilious attacks. Your appetite will fail, yttu will feel dull and languid. If you lire subject to bilious attacks take three of Chamberlain's Tablets as soon as these symptoms appear and the attack, may be warded off. For sale by all dealers.

He did not know of the cut until an hour after the accident, when he went into his home and the warmth (struck the foot. The cut is on the instep and it was it first feared he had broken a small bone. An investigation revealed that the accident will have no serious results.

THE REV. FATHER ROELL. Notice has been given through the Indiana Catholic, the official organ of the Catholic diocese of Indianapolis, that the Rev. Frank A. Roell, rector of St. Andrew's church in this city, has been selected Councillor to the Bishop of the Diocese, for a term of three years. This office is an elective one, all the priests of the diocese expressing their preference, by secret ballot, for these whom they consider best fitted for the place. The members of the Council, six in number, constitute the "Chapter" of the Cathedral, and their duties are to assist the Bishop by their advice, and to safeguard" the interests of the diocese in all matters of importance. Father Roell will continue to residein Richmond for the time being, but will attend meetings at the Cathedral at stated times for the transaction of the business coming before the Council.

REPUBLICANS HOLD STATEJ.OVE FEAST (Continued from Page One.) drew Jackson nor Grover Cleveland, nor yet Woodrow Wilson have been able to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Factional Fight. "The old southern Democratic party is in full charge of the government of the union. We all know how it came to pass. The citizens who voted against the Democratic party were a great majority. The trouble was that the Republican party family quarrel was so bitter that it divided the party vote. I was not willing to take sides in the Roosevelt-Taft controversy, so can discuss this matter without prejudice or bias, although I was not born to be on the fence. They had no right to quarrel, much less at our expense. I hope then that those of us who did not take part in that battle may have some little influence toward reuniting the divided groups of Republicans against the Democratic party. When and how to unite is the only question left. The sooner the better. Under what name and what principles. The Republican party's name and good will is a very valuable asset. The Progressive party has all this to make and establish which took sixty years. Substantially all the Progressives have been Republicans and still hold fast to Republican principles. If Colonel Roosevelt had been able to conquer his wrath in 1912, nothing but death could have prevented his being elected president in 1916."

RUSSELL BOOSTER FOR GUEST HOUSE fContinued from Page 1.) by providing a home for working girls of limited means, where they may have opportunities for recreation and society under wholesome influences. Its value will not be confined to those who room there. It will be, in a measure, a social center for the girls and their friends. Many others will take meals there and thus come under its influence in some degree. A great variety of lines of welfare work, such as helping girls find work, lectures, night classes, may be expected to grow up about it. Such a movement lacks some of the sentimental features of rescue homes and white slave investigations, but it is vastly better for Richmond to engage in PREVENTION work than to wait until the human wreckage of a careless social and business system cries out for rescue and reform.

This was regarded as the critical day in the negotiations between operators and miners of Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana and 'Ohio over a new wage scale that will effect more than 200,000 workers in the bituminous coal fields. 1 A deadlock has been reached in the conference by the decision of the operators to reject the demand for increased wages, and the determination of the miners to enforce the demand. The operators framed a counter proposition that the miners remain at work , under the present agreement, but representatives of the workers declared this would be turned down. That a j strike would follow disruption of the ; conference was intimated by the . miners. Everybody Has a Gowl Word for Dr. Jones' Liniment. Mr. W. F.

HOW YOU MAY THROW AWAY YOUR GLASSES The statement is made that thous ands wear eyeglasses whodo not really need them. If you are one of these unfortunates, then these glasses may be ruining your eyes instead of helping them. Thousands who wear "windows" may prove for themselves that they can dispense with glasses if they will get the following prescription filled at once: Go to any active drug store and get a bottle of Optoma; fill a two-ounce bottle with water and drop in one Optoma tablet. With this harmless liquid solution bathe the eyes two or four times daily and you are likely to be astonished at the results right from the start. Many who have been told that they have astigmatism, eyestrain, cataract, sore eyelids, weak eyes, conjunctivitis and other eye disorders, report wonderful benefits from the use of this free prescription. Get this prescription filled and use it;, you may so strengthen your eyes that glasses will not be necessary. Thousands who are blind or nearly so, or who wear glasses would never have required them if they had cared for their eyes in time. Save your eyes before it is too late! Do not become one of these victims of neglect. Eyeglasses are only like crutches and every few years they must be changed to fit the ever-increasing weakened condition, so better see if you can, like many others, get clear, healthy, strong magnetic eyes through the prescription here given,

MAKE ARREST TODAY

FOR .BRUTM. MURDER Alleged Slayer of Cincinnati Woman in Chicago Hotel Captured Today.' ' SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. ' 12. "Handsome Jack" Koetters, sought by the police of Chicago for more than a year for the murder of Mrs. Emma Kraft, of Cincinnati, O., is tinker arrest here. He was betrayed Into the hands of the police by a woman who declared he had attempted to force her to sign over to him life insurance policies amounting to several thousand dollars. The police believe that he was arrested in time to prevent another killing like that of Mrs. Kraft In the Saratoga Hotel in Chicago. Koetters confessed his identity, but said that no one would ever be able to prove that he killed Mrs. Kraft. For several months "Handsome Jack" has been in partnership with Mrs. Viola Brice. owner of the Shannon hotel. Mrs. Brice gave the police information which resulted in Koetter's arrest. When he was taken to a police station and searched, $S0O in currency was found in his shoes and $60 in gold in one of his pockets. Mrs. Kraft was beaten to death with a machinist hammer in the Saratoga hotel in Chicago. She had come there with Koetters from Cincinnati, expecting to marry him. PREXY HAS A COLD. LONDON. Feb. 12. President Wilson is suffering from a cold today. Ail his engagements were cancelled. His illness is not serious but his physician. Dr. Cary T. Grayson, is determined not to give it the smallest chance to develop and therefore gave strict orders that he cease all work until he is recovered. Soda Relieves Indigestion or Acid Stomach Few Stomach sufferers know that Indigestion, Sourness and Gases are not caused by a lack of digestive juices, but result always from acidity, meaning there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which retards digestion and promotes food fermentation. Everything eaten sours in the stomach like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we get a heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we belch gas and eructate food or have heartburn, water brash, bloating and nausea. A well-known authority states that a 10 grain Sodagen tablet taken any time, followed by a tumbler of water instantly neutralizes these stomach acids; stops fermentation, absorbs the gases and sweetens the entire digestime tract. He says any pharmacist can supply a package of 10 grain Soda gen tablets, as they are constantly ' prescribed for stomach acidity because of their harmlessness to the digestive ! organs, being composed of Soda, Cl- ; cium Carbonate and Magnesia.

SALTS IS FINE FOR KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT Flush the Kidneys at once when Back hurts or Bladder bother Meat forms uric acid.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggisly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, .irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable" pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water bei fore breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam- ' ous salts is made from the acid of , grapes and lemon juice, combined with ' lithia and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to I neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now I and then to keep the kidneys clean and the bloou pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications. It Wil. Hie a pleasure for us to know we have suited you with glasses. Your pleasure comes with the wearing. E. B. Grosven or, M. D. OCULIST Over 713 Main St. 529 South 5th St.
