PUTS THE HOBOES TO WORK New Teal Inaugurated by Order of Mayor Carson. ! CITY PRISONERS TO CLEAN STREETS Iiiinn to * of Hie Jnll AVIII He Mnilr to \Vu U Ont Tholr KliuIn He- luovltiHT UrhrlM front , the I'nvcment. The first move toward cleaning the streets was made yteterdny , when Mayor Carson concluded to accept the suggestion to put the city prisoners at work on them. Several years ago the chain gang wan ono of the most Important Industrial and economic fac tors In the city government , and every good 1 day In th year was utilized by working ; all of the able-bodied city prisoners con fined In the Jail. These men manage to do about all of the street cleaning that was done lu those years , and the only cost tlicre was to the city was the board ot the men and the salary of the special officer who , | had charge of them. There was no objection ( to the plan , even by the men themselves , with few exceptions , for they would rather bo out In the open air and sunshine working ; leisurely than to be confined within the ) narrow limits and In the fetid atmosphere ) of the city prison. The practice was dls- ontlnued at the demand of an organlza- on , which has since become extinct , known s the Worklngmen's Friendly club. The icmbers of this club reached the conclusion iat the forced employment of city prle- ncrs on the streets prevented the employ- lent of that many laboring men who were ot In the habit of getting Into Jail and icy began an energetic campaign against 10 practice. The matter was carried Into olltlcs and was fought out to a successful sue. Sluco then the city Jail has been lied with Idle men , whom the city has tcn compelled lo board and get nothing u return. Some money was expended on lie streets , but It did not approximate as luch ns the labor ot thu city prisoners ould have amounted lo , and the work that ; aa done was executed lu such a manner liat the benefit was not perceptible. Now the ondltlon of the city finances make : ) It 1m- osslblo to expend any money at all at the resent tlmo to pay for street cleaning work , nd the resumption of the former practice as a necessity unless the streets were to p permitted to remain In a very filthy con- Itlon. Mayor tiarson Issued the order yes- crday and a consignment of a dozen new hovels were sent to the police station for mmedlate use. The mayor decided to place lie men under the direction of Street Com- ilssloncr Hardlu , and hn was sworn In as a peclal officer for that purpose. The first ; ang was taken out yesterday afternoon and nit In the tlmo at work piling up the mud hat bad found lodgment during the winter n the gutters on , Broadway. Hardln will ct as special officer without additional pay until the duties of his department Inter- cre , when he will bo replaced by another fllccr , who will contlnuo to serve during he summer. The arrangements for working ho police court product on the streets arc lermanent and the practice will not bo dls- ontlnued again. Great Clearance Snip.

FUlier SnlTcm Severely Through mi. lAcoiilcnt. Mrs. W. B. Fisher was severely burned by gasoline yesterday afternoon , and there Is ome fear that she may lose the sight of her eft eye. The accident occurred while she was re filling her gasoline stove after dinner at her tome on Vine street. She had shut off the lurners and supposed that the flame had all > een extinguished. Ono of the burners eaked , and a small Jet ot flame continued o arise. She w s using a quart cup to con vey the oil to the reservoir and the gasoline n the open vessel was Ignited. In an In stant the woman was enveloped In flames. She threw the cup Into an adjoining shed and with rare presence of mind set about smothering the flames that were surrounding jer , using her eklrts for the purpose. She succeeded In doing so. but not until she jed been severely burned about the face and arms. The front part of her hair was ncary all burned away. At the tlmo of ho accident she was alone In the house with ler llttlo baby , which was sitting on the leer of the kitchen , and when the mother tiad succeeded In extinguishing the flames about her own person she observed that the , burning oil had spread out on the floor and ' was surrounding the child with a wall of flame. At this Juncture the servant girl came to the kitchen door and seized the baby before the fre touched It. The cup of blazing oil that had been hurled Into the lined set fire to the wood work and the house was threatened with destruction. Mrs. Fisher's screams brought assistance and several men ran In and put out the flro befnro It had tlmo to do any mischief. < Mrs. Fisher's burns were severe and pain ful , but with tr > ? exception to the injury ; to the eye are not serious. POMTICFAXS QUKSTIOX 1'IU.UAKIKS Irresriilnrlty In Klt-Nt Preolnot of Flmt Wiiril Conic * < tn A now question la raised by some of ( ho politicians who arc taking an Interest In the nominations to to made by the republican clly convention. It has been discovered that the Initials of all the delegates se lected In the First precinct of the First war at the caucus on 'Saturday ' night had been omitted on the written tickets that were placedIn , the ballot box. The ballots iu been hastily prepared and written on smal slips of paper that .were considered to tlb too small to permit the writing of the ful names of the delegates. After the ballot wcro counted and the result declared tin . Initials were supplied. Some of the poll tlclans contend that this little slip Invall dates the caucus and it the delegates IITi permitted to take part In the convention the nominations will not bo legally made These politicians point to the section leo the statute governing primary elections an assert that this omission U clearly fata and may bo the means of causing the ran dIJates , If electoj , to lose their offices 1 their opponents take a notion to contest. Other politicians laugh at the sugijeMloi hat the failure to write In the initial will have any effect whatever. The cltl zcns who voted these tickets personal ! knew the men for whom they were votln and there could be no mistake as to tliel Identity. A number of attorneys are look ing Into U to tee If there are any prece Jents. ' Fred StoneA ul ( John Under. Fred Stone , a tough colored man who na gotten into trouble on numerous occasions vine to bU proclivity to enxluco hl . nuo on slight provocation and threaten to use It. was lockcJ up last evening on the old famil iar charge. Ho served a long eentcuce In the city jail not long ago for attempting to Sloan 11 motor conductor ( or a fancied Might. Yesterday he went Into John Llpjlej'e whole * , falo house and attempted to compel one of the employe * to give him all of the free whisky he wanted. The employe objected and Stone pulled hie razor. Llnder hlmeelf stepped In between them and Stone made | I ar attack upon him. Others Interfered and the negro was held until an officer was called. Convention with n lilt of Fun .Mixed In. The democratic city convention was held last night , and the full city ticket , In cluding the members of the Board of Educa tion , was placed In nomination. The convention was one of the largest that has occurred In city campaigns for many years. A. C. Graham was chosen temporary chairman and L. Zurmuchlen temporary sec-i rctary. A few minutes only was devoted to , speech making , and as much of the pre-1 limlnary business as possible was bunched and disposed of In a lump. To avoid further delay Uio temporary officers were made the s permanent officers of the convention. TJio school board ticket was taken up first , j | and the presentation of the names of J , J. Stewart , J. K. Cooper and L. C. Besley was promptly followed by a motion to make their 1 selection ' by acclamation. Thu motion prec vailed , and In a half a minute the work was done which occupied the time of the rcpub- lican convention the whole of the prcced- . Ing evening. | Tlii'to was a little disposition to squabble l over the nomination of the school board treasurer. The name of John Deno was pro- sentcd and was received with cheers , but 'I ' one of Mr. Dcno's friends was present with l ' the authority to declare that under no clrN cumstances would Mr. Ileno consent to have his name como before the convention. Jack ' 'ercgoy ' had sent In the same peremptory ncssage , and the convention' quickly took P with the suggestion that George S. Davis i-aa the most available man and nominated tin by acclamation. Tlio ecrlousork of the convention was hen leached. The names of Victor Jen nings , F. A. Blxby , D. Macrae , Jr. , and Dr. T. H. Lncy were presented for mayor and an " nformal ballot taken , with the icsult that "cnnlnps received 42 votes , Blxby 33 , Macrno and Lacy 2. A motion to malte the ballot ormal and the nomination of Jennings unanimous was seconded by Blxby , and was arrled with a shout. Bixby was called for and hanked the convention for the votes given : lm and declared that he desired to be the Irst person to contribute to the campaign und. Jennings was loudly called for and Depended from the far corner of the room , vhere ho was closely crowded against thu vail. Ho declared that he was at a loss o know what to say , but Intimated very trongly that If he was elected ho would ook after the business affairs ot the city o the best of his ability and give an econom- cal and buslncss-llko administration. Dr. M. C. Christiansen was nominated by acclamation for alderman-at-large. For Judge of the superior court J. A. Mur- ) hy named Judge E. E. Aylesworth , and J. t. Dietrich presented the name of Judge J. E. F. McGec. The name of Judge McGee had scarcely fallen from the lips of the speaker when a storm of hisses arose from all over tho.room. . . The principal volume of the sibilant sounds came from the crowd outside of the railing and was taken as an Indication of the fact that a. large num- jer of those present had some time In their ives felt the weight of Judge McGee's ju- llclal hand while administering Justice In he dally sessions of the police court. But nany of the hisses also came from the dele gates. The manifestation of dislike was : ut short and sternly rebuked by Chairman Graham. The- Informal ballot resulted In giving Aylesworth 31. McGee 24 and Ambrose Burke 20. On the first formal ballot Ayles worth received 37 , McGee 22 and Burke 22. This was not a majority and another ballot was taken , which gave Aylesworth 43 , McGee 17 and Burke 21. Ayleeworth's nomination was then made unanimous. For city solicitor the names of S. B. Wads- worth and Thomas E. Casady were presented , and on the Informal ballot Casady received 3 and Wadsworth 38 votes. Only ono formal mllot was necessary , which gave Wadsworth 50 and Casady 36 , and his nomination was made unanimous with much enthusiasm and noise. For city treasurer the names of Brooks leed , John H. Plummer and James Wlck- lam were presented. Reed , however , was ho only candidate , the other nominations > elng made against the wishes of the parties lamed. The Informal ballot showed that Reed had received 72 votes , Plummer 7 and Wlckham 2 , and Reed was selected by acclamation. No ballot was taken to select F. W. Spet- man for city auditor. His wzs the only name submitted 10 the convention and ho was chosen by acclamation. There were two candidates for city engi neer , Sam Etnyre and Ed Stlmson. The In formal voting showed that Etnyre' was the choice of the convention , and the formal ballot gave him 66 votes and Stlmson 26. More tlmo was spent In agreeing upon who should bo defeated for city assessor tllan was consumed in making any of the other nominations. W. D. Hardtn , Phil Wareham , Dan Graham and George F. Hughes were the candidates. On the final Formal ballot Hardln polled 74 votes , Gra ham 3 end Hughes 3. All of these latter candidates , Including Wareham , had re peatedly announced that they were not in the field. For park commissioner W. C. James , Rob ert Rain , A. C. Graham and Phil Ware- ham were votad for. James was the only candidate who was willing to make the race against defeat , but the delegates per sisted in voting for the others and once came very near nominating Wareham in the face of bis repeated withdrawal. Gra ham also emphatically announced whenhis name was presented that he bad served In the capacity of park commissioner fourteen years and bad enough of It. Thefinal ballot - lot resulted In giving Jiidge-James 72 votes and the nomination. The convention concluded withtho adop tion of a union labor resolution presented by J. R. Dletrlck of Bluff City Typo graphical union , pledging the party and ( the candidates to Insist upon the presence of the llttlo blue label ou all printing work ordered In the future. , The ticket Is regarded by the leading dem ocrats as being a strong one , IIISUY KO IO.\ < ; KII A.V IASIMH.VXT.

Dr. A. E. Burdlck of Graet- Inger has known of the cases for some , lmo , and Dr. Baldwin of Ruthven and Dr. Oavls of Emmetsburg agree In his diagnosis of the case that It is genuine leprosy. Dr. Burdlck writes that the cases are In the lamlly of a Norweglcn , who lives some six miles west of Qraettlnger. A daughter , be says , has the leprosy without doubt , and It Is possible that one or two more of the family are affected with the disease. The mother of the stricken girl died In Norway of leprosy ; the father married again , and has a number of children by his second wife. These children and the leprous child all live together. Dr. Burdlck fiays that the entire community Is endangered , as the father tu-lngs his produce to town , takes milk to the creamery and the neighbors visit with the family as though nothlog was wrong.

Ararnen nit Lrnirth In Support of the Snbfttltntc to the Mr-mure Nun * li tuler Con- lilcrntlou. DBS MOINBS , 'March 9. ( Special Tele gram , ) tt will bo one week tomorrow since the senate opened Its discussion on the board of .control . bill , and It Is certain that the upper chamber of the leglslatuio has not experienced a week of stormier debate In years. Discussion Is tlll pending ou sec tion 1 , which relates to the appointment of the board. Those who oppose the confirma tion of tbo appointees by a statutory com- mltteo of the senate were defeated on on amendment to circumvent this provision lost week. It wan predicted then that the oppo- sltlon's back hud been broken and that llt- tlo clao would be thrown. In the way of the bill , but there Is a growing conviction now that an effort Is being made to talk the bill to death. | The entire day today was spent In discus sion of the Lewis substitute for section 1 , providing that the board shall bo chosen by u Joint convention of the general assem bly. Senator Trewln had announced Tuesday that he would address the senate on the substitute this morning end quite a crowd had asiemblod when he took the floor. As was expected , his remarks wcro largely In the nature of a reply to Senator Healy's scathing address of last week In which the trustee system of managing the state In- slltutlons was so vigorously denounced and the opponents of the bill arraigned as stand ing In the way of reform. In defense of the substitute he said the method of electing the board proposed b'y It was second , perhaps , to election by the people. He would not dU'parago -character of Io\\u's governors , but believed the representatives of the people ple the proper agency for selecting the board. The code commission had been thus chcscn nnd not a whisper of reproach was over raised against It. The United States senators were thus selected by every state In the union. Senator Trewln accused Sen ator Hcaly of having distorted facts relating to .the . expense of managing our ttate Institutions | tutions j , and further stated that he would venture the assertion that the management of these Institutions under a board of con trol would be three , possibly four , times that o the trustee system. The sensational fea ture of Trowln's speech was a charge that the authors of the bill bad bought oft the opposition of the Institutions to the bill by providing that the present superintendents should bo legislated Into office for another six years. Discussion on the amendment continued until 4 o'clock , when .the senate adjourned. There remain several to speak on the substitute , but It Is hoped a vote will bo reached tomorrow. 'rUlllJUCULOUSCATTLK IX IOWA. Danger of il'criiilttlnpf Freedom of Shipment * from the lunnt. DENISON , la. , March 9. ( Special. ) Dr. J. I. Gibson , state veterinary surgeon , who re sides here , has made an appeal to the Iowa legislature for some law to protect the dairy herds of the state from the danger of cattle shipped from the eastern states affected with tuberculosis. Ho estimates that within tha . past two or three years over 200 car loads of Jersey cows from the cast have been Im ported into the state and .sold to Individuals for family cows. "During this period. " he says , "a rigid Inspection and tuberculin that has been officially conducted In the east ern states from which these cattle have been ( hipped Into Iowa , and I leave the reader to Infer why this extensive shipment of milch cowfl took place at this particular time and why so many more were shipped Into our state than ever before. The ship per In many Instances said scarcity of feed was the reason. I ay they were shipped , out of their etate to dodge the test , and quite probably private tests were made In secret to ascertain which of the cows In the herd would pass the official test , and those upon which suspicion rested or a reaction resulted were loaded up for Iowa , which Is soon to be the greatest dairy state In tbo union If properly protected , but Is today without a law of any kind to protect against such grievous wrong as has been perpetrated upon our people and state In this way ot late years. "Ccuslder for a moment what this means. Women whose faces are disfigured by unsightly eruptions , pimples and blotches too frequently fail to under * stand that these are but the outward symptoms of inward dis orders. They resort to var ious cosmet ics , oint- Iments and powders , not ( knowing that all the while the trouble is not in the skin , itself , but in the sys- . . . . tern. It is sometimes ab solutely dangerous to use outward applica tions , for if the skin alone is cleared , the real disease is likely to attack some internal organ of the body , where it may prove fatal to life itself. , . . In the majority of cases these unsightly skin diseases are due to two things , weakness - ness and disorders of the distinctly feminine - nine organism , and impurities of the blood caused by them. The woman who suffers from disease in a womanly way will soon suffer in her general health. Her stomach , liver and other organs will fail to perform their proper functions , with the result that the blood becomes impure. Left to her self , she will probably resort to cosmetics and ointments. If she consults a physician he will tell her that the stomach or liver only is at fault. Her distinctly womanly ailment is really the first and only cause. For this she should resort at once to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It nets di rectly nnd only on the delicate and important organs concerned. It makes them strong- and well. Then a course of Dr. Pierce'a Golden Medical Discovery will purify nnd enrich the blood , and make her a new wo- man. Medicine dealers sell both remedies. " I cannot say too much for Dr. Pierce' * Fa vorite Prescription , " writes Hits Clara Balrd. of Bridgeport , Montgomery Co. , Fennp. . "for the goodit did me. Ifiiny one doubts this give them my name and address. " Sure , safe and simple ways to cure all manner of skin diseases told in Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser.
