CITY WARRANTS AND CASH
Another Court Galled On to Solve the
Troublesome Equation
MANDAMUS AGAINST TREASURER REED
Holder of Water Fnnil Warrant * In-
lit * that He He Fnlil Out of the
Sloney > IMV on Hand In
the Trenmirj- .
Edmund JeffcrU of this city filed a peti
tion In the superior court yesterday asking
that n peremptory writ of mandamus be
Issued commanding City Treasurer W. B.
Reed to pay four outstanding warrants Is
sued by the city and drawn on the water
fund. The warrants are numbered 13038 to
13041 Inclusive and arc dated March 2 , 189C ,
having been Issued during Mayor Cleaver's
administration. They are each for the sum
of $500 and draw 6 per cent Interest from
the date that they were presented for pay
ment , which was the same day that they
were Issued. The warrants bear Indorse
ments to the effect that they were presented
for payment , but were not paid for want
of funds. The petition filed yesterday sets
forth that the city treasurer now has funds
In hand belonging to the water fund suffi
cient to pay the warrants , but refuses to do
so.
so.Tho water fund Is In the same condition as
tbo general fund , Inasmuch as there are a
number of outstanding warrants drawn
against It prior to the time when the new
code went Into effect last October. The
| other funds have not been overdrawn and
the city treasurer Is enabled to meet all
current warrants drawn on them. There
U ample money In the water fund to pay
the warrants held by Jeffcrls and In the
natural course of events'they would be the
first on the list to be paid. The ruling of
Judge Smith of the district court In the
' mandtnius case of Phillips against the
'city ' treasurer Is construed to govern also
the outstanding warrants drawn on the
water fund , although In the Phillips'
case the warrants sought. to have
ordered paid were on the general fund and
for current expenses. By the ruling City
Treasurer Reed would be empowered to
first pay all outstanding warrants on the
water fund , which would Include those held
by Jefferls , but Mr. Reed , In view of the fact
I that the case has been appealed and that
possibly Judge Smith's decision may be re
versed by the supreme court , has refused to
' pay any money out of either the water or
general fund until the question Is definitely
' settled by the supreme court.
| The papers for the appeal of the case of
Phillips against City Treasurer Reed were
i completed yesterday and the brief Is now In
the hands of the printers. It is expected
that the papers will be filed with the su-
1 preme court on Wednesday or Thursday of
this week.

DOARD OP EDUCATION MEETING ,
Arrangement * About Complete for
the Grndnatlnv ExcrcUe * .
At the regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Education held last night Chair
man Cooper of the committee on teacher *
suggested that a meeting for the election
of teachers be held as early as possible
after the close of the school year in June ,
Instead of waiting until the regular meetIng -
Ing , which would be the third Monday In
that month. He considered that out of Jus
tice to the teachers who would be dropped
fjpm the rolls that they should not be kept
In suspense any longer than necessary and
afforded an opportunity to look for positions
elsewhere. The committee on teachers was
empowered to call a meeting for the pur
pose when It saw fit.
Chairman Stewart of the committee on Jan
itors Introduced a resolution to the effect
that all Janitors who would have steam
plants to operate should bo required to
pass a successful examination as to their
ability to handle same. This was opposed
by Member Sims , who thought that It would
place the selection of the Janitors practi
cally In the 'hands of the state boiler ex
aminer and not the board. At his sugges
tion the resolution was go amended that
Janitors who could furnish satisfactory evi
dence of their capability to operate steam
plants would not bo required to pass'an ex
amination.
Chairman Henry of the committee on
buildings and grounds reported that A.
Ovcrton , , who had been occupying the old
Pierce street schoolhouse , had vacated on
request and that the building could now bo
used for storage purposes. The question
of fencing In tbo property was discussed ,
but no action taken , . Member Henry being
willing that the residents In that vicinity
should use the grounds as a park , there
being plenty of largo shade trees In them.
The arrangements for the commencement
exercises at the opera bouse were discussed
at length and the whole matter was finally
left to Superintendent Hlscy and Principal
Hayden , the board suggesting that they try
to realize enough from tbo sale of tickets
to pay all the expenses. The board decided
that this year the Issue of complimentary
tickets should be limited to three to each
member of the graduating class and ono to
each of the Juniors. All other tickets arc
to bo sold at 25 cents and every means pos
sible taken to prevent any speculating , as
has been the custom In past years.
Principal Hayden reported that the ar
rangements to secure ono of the prominent
professors of the University of Chicago to.
deliver the commencement address were
about complete. '
Superintendent Hlsey reported that the
supplementary reading matter which he had
been authorized at the last meeting of the
board to secure bad been placed In the
schools and that much benefit had already
been derived from It. Superintendent Hlsey
was given authority to employ a stenog
rapher , although the request was strongly
opposed by Members Cooper and Stewart.
The special committee In charge of the
matter reported that 330 trees had been
planted out In the yards of the different
schools and that most of them seemed tc
bo thriving.
The report of attendance for the eight
months of school ending May 6 showed an
Increase of 2939 over that of the same month
of last year.
The usual grist of bills for the preced
ing month was allowed.

LONDON , May 16. The St. James Ga

"Russia today is said to have completed
the purchase of the whole of the recent ar
rivals of gold from the Cape. Such a trans

market.
"With a new buyer in addition to the
United States , gold should shortly be higher.
Russia paid 77s 9&d , but If the United States
demands had not temporarily ceased , U Is
questionable If the price would not be about
77s lOd.
"It Is expected Russia will buy frequently
here. If so , It will bo another Indication of

Many men fool \v Ith sickness jurt
as a bear fools around n trap. A m n
doesn't like to own up that he is ill.
He says " O , it amounts to nothing. I shnll
be all right to-morrow. " Dut he isn't all
tight to morrow ; nor the next day. Pretty
soon the trap snaps to ; nnd he DOS soma
serious disease fastened on him.
The only sensible course is to keep away
from the trap , and not allow sickness to ( ret
any hold on jou. It in a frightful mistaktt
to trifle with indigestion and bilious troub
les in the belief that they will cure them ,
selves. On the contrary they drag the vv hole
yitem dawn with them.
When the appetite nnd digestion are it *
regular it shows that the machinery of the
body is out of order nnd is not doingit *
propcrwork ; the "blood-circulation is poorly
supplied and is being gradually debased
by biliotm poisons.
The proper alterative for this condition I *
Dr. Picrcc'a Golden Medical Discovery. It
acts directly upon the digestive functions
and the liver ; and enables the blood-mak
ing glands to supply an abundance of pure
lilood , rich with the nutritious vital ele
ments which build up healthy flesh and
enduring strength.
In all impoverished and run-down condi
tions the "Discovery" is far better than
malt "extracts" or nauseating "emul
sions. " It creates genuine permanent
strength. It does not make flabby fat but
solid muscle. It is a perfect tonic for cor
pulent people ,
A full account of Its properties and mar.
felons effects in many no-called "hopeless"
cases , verified by the patients' own sig
natures , is given in one chapter of Doctor
Plcrcc'fl thousand page illustrated book.
