BICYCLE NOT

•--"V -
ordinance relating to its
USE OF SIDEWALKS WHI BE
modified to permit riding
under RESTRICTIONS
Tiie council .last night Indicated
that the proposed bicycle ordinance
introduced at the last meeting and
•which provided for eliminating bi
cycles from a,U sidewalks in the
polled to use bicycles in their work,
will not result.
The proposed plan under which
city, will be amended so that seri- !
oub embarrassment to business in- J
terests or citizens who are com
the new ordinance will operated has j
not been completed but various sug-jan
gestions have been received by citi- j
zens. It Is the purpose of the coun-1
ell to eliminate any hardship on the '
people If possible but In view of the
numerous complaints of careless
riding which has resulted in serious |
accidents it is apparent that some
legislation must be enacted that will |
protect pedestrians.
The matter was brought before
the council by Attorney Clay Me- j
Namee who presented remonstranc- j
es bearing the names of 150 citizens, i
Mr. McNamee explained that under
the terms of the proposed ordinances |
bicycles would be eliminated from
the sidewalks and that it was well
known that these vehicles could not
be operated in the streets for sev
eral months each year. The passing
of such an ordinance would work a
great hardship on people who reside
in the suburban districts and who
use bicycles in their daily employ
ment.
Attorney J. B. Anderson appeared
before the council and asked that
the Methodist church be granted a
further time in which to occupy
the streets with the building mater
ial. He stated that the material in
the street would be assembled in
euch a manner as to afford ample
passageway but that it would be a
hardship to remove the obstructions
at this time.
An application was received from j
We8ley Steel asking for a permit to
erect a new building on his prop
erty located on East Main street
opposite the Masonic Temple. The
application waa referred to the. fire
commissioner. The following new
ordinances were introduced.
To prevent the unrestrained ex
istence of contagious diseases.
To protect public health and pro
vide means therefor.
To prevent the sale of adulterated
milk.
City Attorney Cox submitted a re
port showing the work of his office
for the past six months. The total
expense for the period was $1,
123.38. The report says: "During
the last six months this department,
besides other work, has prepared
the necessary proceedings for the
paving district, the Normal hill im
provement district and other dis
tricts which have been in contem
plation. It has also prepared all
documents necessary in connection
with the down town sewer district:
all proceedings for the bond issue
of 352,500.00 have been completed.
The work of preparing and supple
menting the code of ordinances is
now completed so far as this deoart
tnent is concerned, and as soon as
the ordinances in the hands of the
council have been passed and can be
assigned to their proper places 1'
the code, the code will be ready for
publication. During the last six
months, some sixty ordinances have
been prepared by this department.
During the same period, about thir
ty resolutions have been prepared,
and a number of contracts and mis
cellaneous documents. The Isaman
case was tried at the last term of
the court and considerable time of
the department haa been consumed
during the period of thirty days al

#
PARIÖ, Jan. 11.—The probable
result of a war between the United
States jind Japan is the subject of
a series of articles Just published in
Le Petit Journal by an anonymous
naval expert. While admitting that
the flejt of Admiral Evans is su
perior to that of the Japanese, the
writer inalntainB that the moral val
ue of the Japanese crewg is much
superioj- to that of the Americans.
He declares that the> Japanese sai
lors h^ve shown themselves vastly
8uperio|r to the Americans, and, in
deed, tb those of all other nations
He accounts for this by the Intense
patriotism of the soldiers of the mi
kado, coupled with their philosophic
and fatalistic bravery. The stra
tegic position of the Japanese is also
superior, declares the writer. Thev
are in a position to seize Hawaii
easily, and thus prevent Admiral
Evans

Tha recall of Ambassador
California will serve as an excuse.
The French writer declares that
the Japanese despise the American
navy, and believe that th Japanese
fleet still be able to send it to the
bottom as easily as it did the ar
mada of the Russians. The French
critic tines not agree with this, and
gives It as his ODinicn that Admiral

The article concludes with the
statement that before Admiral

Japanese will be in a position to
seize Hawaii and that this action
will begin what will probably be

I N speaking of hts good health and 6J S^ —*
treme old age, Mr. Brook says:
"After a mau has lived la the world
as long as I have, he ought to b*TW %
found out a great many things by •*•"**
perience. 1 think I have done so.
"One of the things I have found
out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper thing for ailments that are
due directly to the effects of the
climate. For 119 years I have with
stood the changeable climate of
the United States.
"I have always been a very healthy
man, but, of course, subject to the affec
tions which are due to sudden change*
in theclimatcaml temperature.
"As for Dr. Hartman 's remedy,
Pe-ru-na, I have found it to be the
best, if not the only reliable remedy
for these affections, ft has been
my standby for many y tars, andI
attribute my good health and ex
treme old age to this remedy.
It exactly meets all my require
ments. It protects me from the evil ef
fects of sudden changes; it gives me
strength ; it keeps my blood in good cir
culation. I have come to rely npon it
almost entirely for the many littl«
things for which I need medicine.
"When epidemics of la grippe first be
gan to make their appearance in this
country 1 was a sufferer from this dis
ease,
"I had several long sieges with
the grip. At first I did not know
that Pe-ru-na was a remedy for
this disease. When I heard that
la grippe was epidemic catarrh
I tried Pe-ru-na for la grippe and
found It to be just the thing."
In a later letter, Mr. Brock writes:
"1 am well and feeling as well m I
have for years. I would not be without
Peruna."
Yours truly,
SAJIS' cfonsfl,'
A letter dated July S, 1906, written for
Mr. Brock by his wife, Sarah J. Brock,
states :
"Last winter I had Just gotten
up out of a spell of sickness, when
1 commenced taking Peruna. t
think It Improved my health very
much."
In a postscript, Mrs. Brock adds : "B*
receives a great many letters inquiring
about what Peruna will do. I do nos
answer them all, as I think they cam
; get a bottle and try it."
coming war is also the subject of
speculation on the part of the Jour
nal writer. He hazards toe opinios
that Great Britain is so closely
bound to Japan that, while mate
talning an attitude of neutrality,
the English will aid their Pacific al
lies in every manner possible and
that this may possibly lead to war
between the United States and
Great Britain. In this case, alf
Europe would probably become em
broiled. and the greatest war in Me
tory would follow.
