Tho county supervisors met In adjourned
session yesterday afternoon nnd at onco
went In to secret session behind closed
doors. The matter before the board which
rnllcd for this secrecy wns a proposition to
compromise tho claim tho county has
against Former Sheriff Morgan, nclntlvcs
of Morgan and his attorney were closeted
with the board several hours.
County Attorney Klllpack was called In,
as tho supervisors wanted his opinion as to
their authority to compromise. Ho gave
It as his opinion that the hoard hnd tho
right to compromise any claim tho county
might have whero tho amounts wero un
certain nnd In dispute.
Tho county hns n suit ponding ngnlnst
Morgan for over 11,100, representing fees
which It Is claimed ho failed to turn into
tho treasury during his incumbency of tho
sheriff's oITIce. Tho ciunty also tins an
other claim against Morgan for about G00,
alleged to have been paid his deputies as
salary In excess of the fees earned by tho
odlcc.
At a former meeting of the board tho
nttorney for Morgan offered to pay over
$.00 to tho county In full settlement, hut
this tho board at that time refused to ac
cept. Tho members of the hoard declined
to state yesterday on what bnsls Morgan
Is now offorlng to settle. They said that no
conclusion In tho matter ,had been reached,
but that as soon as it was It would bo
made pub'tlc.
lOxnniliiiit Ion of Hook
The suit ngnlnst Morgan was the result
of an examination made of his books by
Spencer Smith and Thomas Ilowman. Mor
gan disputed tho correctness of their figures
and employed C. K. Walters, an expert ac
countant, to oxnmlric his books. Mr. Wal
ters has mado no report to the. board, but
has Intimated that ho found number of
Items Incorrectly chnrged up against Mor
Ban.
To prove. 11a claim against Morgan, the
county would have to Bhow up every Itera
of fees earned during IiIb Incumbency and
tho board realizes that this would be
most expensive and tedious matter, and In
consequence several .members favor a com
promise.
Tho question of the contract of Cun
nlngham, tho tax ferret, was not brought
up,
The committee of tho whole of the beard,
to which was referred the petition of
A. O. Wyland for a change In highway In
Norwalk township, recommended that It be
granted and that Jl.lW bo appropriated out
of tho hridgo fund to pay the damages as
fixed by tho commissioners.
The board adjourned, to 9:30 this morning

Mayor Jennings returned to the city
council last night without his signature
tho resolution Introduced n week ago call
ing for tho paving with vitrified brick a
number of streets. He explained that he
was not opposed to the resolution except
that It did not properly describe the ter
minal points of the streets proposed to he
paved, and that If ndopted sevcrnl inter
sections would bo left unpaved. Ho nlso
called nttentlon to the fact that on sev
eral of the streets curbing was needed be-
fore the paving and ho recommended that
a curbing resolution be passed first and
then n new paving resolution, which ht
had requested the city solicitor to d:aw
up. This resolution was then Intt V.uced,
calling for tho curbing of theso streets:
Third street, from north curb line of
Story street, to Eleventh nvenue: Tenth
avenue, from High street to Fnlrniount
park; Pnrk avenue, from curb line of
Pomona street to Falrmount park; Ninth

ond addition: Worth street from Fourth
street to Uluff street.
Tho resolution will come up for final
action and determination March 25.
Tho new paving resolution was introduced
and Its final determination was at first set
for March 25, but Alderman McDonald
thought thero need be no hurry about tho
matter, nnd at his suggestion final action
was put off until April 6.

Tho amended ordlnanco regulating elec

Bradley the clerk was Instructed to havo
COO copies of the ordinance printed In

The committee on fire and light rccmo

reason that the city under tho new con
tract would In ft few weeks relocate the

bo placed in that Iramedlato vicinity. Tho
request was accordingly denied. A peti

Joseph McQInnls, a farmer, whose wife
recently' secured a dlvorco for him, has tor
several days was trying to drown his sorrows
In tho-bowl. The plan proved a failure, so
yesterday afternoon, after writing a note to
his wife, he drank tho contents of n two
ounce bottle containing laudnum. This
occurred In a West Broadway sa
loon, tho keeper of which at
onco .notified the police. McOln
nls was taken to tho city Jail, where ex
amination showed that ho was experiencing
no ill offects from the drug, the whisky he
had previously swallowed evidently noting
as an nntidote.

commence proceedings against an old

Alderman Hammer reported that he had
n purchaser for two lots In Central sub
division, facing nroadway near Twenty-
fourth, which tho city had foreclosed for
special taxes. As there was some ques
tion to tho city's title to the lots bung
clear tho matter was referred to tho city
solicitor. Aldorman Hammer wanted the
council to place a prlco on tho lots and at
tho suggestion of Alderman Doyer It was
placed at $200 a lot.
Chairman Huber of the streets and al
leys committee reported that the monthly

Politicians In tho city today from the
northwestern part of the stato say that E.
iirown of Sheldon will soon bo announced
a candidate for ralhond commissioner
In opposition to Colonel Welcome Mourv
the present Incumbent. It has been ex
pected that Mowry would be accorded a
second term since tho office wan estab
lished and tho precedent Is well set. nut
the desire to break tho ;cdldarity of the
Eleventh district on goMTtior leads to u
demand thnt a candldata be brought out for
railroad commissioner. Six years agj
Mowry was a candidate and wns beaten by
an Eleventh district candidate and thrco
years ago his opponent was nn Eleventh
district man nnd Mowry was successful on
tho first ballot. The news comes from the
Eighth district that Judge II. M. Towner
will be the only candidate for any stato of
flco from that district, thus Insuring hltn
solid delegation for Judge of tho supremo
court. Ex-Senator Clark of Clnrlnda has
decided not to be a candidate for governor.
Successor to AVIIiIiiihii.
George L. Dobson, ox-secretary ot state
for Iowa, Is in Washington, where he will
remain until after the close of the session
nnd the inauguration. Mr Dobson Ih un
derstood to bo willing to accept n position
In the consular service v.cnover a place
is available that will be to his liking, The
death ot Ttounseville Wildman, consul nt
Hong Kong, who went down cn tho Klo do
Janeiro, has suggested to Mr. Dobson's
friends that he would bo a good man for
that place and It Is believed his claims
will be pushed at this time. The consul
ship at Hong Kong is regarded ns an Im
portant ono and Mr. Dobson, If a candidate
at all, would want such a place.

Dyspepsia Cure
Some people wonder why pepsin preparations don't
help their dyspepsia. They probably suffer because
they cannot difrcst foods that pepsin docs not affect,
The reason is, pepsin digests only nitrogenous foods,
like eggs, meat and albumin; while entirely different
substances are required to digest the great variety of
other foods that arc necessary for proper nourishment.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure contains pepsin, but it also
contains all tin other digestants, and is capable of com
pletely digesting farinas, grains, starches and every
other kind of foods. That is why it digests what you cat
and allows you tocatall the variety you want; and that is
why it cures indigestion, even after everything else
has failed. As it is the only preparation of the kind
known, thedemand for it has bccomccnormous. Its use
affords instant relief from all forms of stomach trouble.
It can't help but do you good
