tflll sail for the fnltid'Statea on Ihc 26th
Inst., before the llrlllsli cabinet council
baa had nn opportunity to review the pro
tocols which embody In principle the pro
posed new Hay-Pauneefoto canal treaty. It
Is thought here, however, that that fact
will not delay the final negotiations, which
will tako place here between Secretary Hay
and Lord l'nuncefolc, for It Is the Inton
Hon that Ihc new treaty will bo finally
drafted and signed In the city of Wash
lngton.
It Is said that when the new document
Is framed the "fortlllcatloiiK" clause will
bo found to have been dropped out, leaving
tho United States at liberty to fortify the
1 canal, but It Is distinctly stated that It Is
Sot obligated to do so. Theru Ik no present
' Intention of erecting fortifications, which,
It Is said, would be more cxponslvo than a

The sneaker asserted thnt man had found
Ood from tho primitive man down to th

Images, Tho Kgyptlan In the order of na

heads. The atheist claiming there Is no
Ood and thnt matter Is everything. Th
agnostic doesn't know. The religious sclen
tlst tays Ood Is tho noureo of all. The He
brew finds Ood In the heart; not by n study
of nature without, but Ood is felt, expo
rlenced.

Long, Mich,
Heavy Hair
A great many people want
long, heavy hair ; but how to
get it, that is what puzzles
them.
The fact is, the hair needs
a little help now and then.
The roots require feeding.
When the hair is starved, .it
stops growing, loses its lus
ter, falls out, turns gray.
Ayer's Hair Vigor is a hair
help. It feeds the hair. The
hair grows, stops falling out,
and all the gray hairs are re
stored to the natural color.
" Your Hair Vigor is certainly wonderful. It
has made a great improvement in my hair, re
storing it to its natural color and promoting a
new growth." Emma C alder, New York City.

The work of revising the city ordinances
was completed yesterday by tho attorney
employed for tho purpose by tho council
some weeks ago. Nearly six weeks was
consumed In going over tho ordinances
passed by the council since the Incoroora-
lon of the city, it was found that manv
of tho original ordinances had been re
pealed and no record made of the same
xcept on tho clerk's Journal. Other ordi
nances had been declared void bv the
courts, whllo still others wero found to
havo certain sections repealed. All of tho
old ordinances have been omitted from
tho new record, which as now compiled rep
resents a book of 33i closely typewritten
sgc. In ordor to revlso these ordinances
properly It was found necessary to go ovar
nearly 1,100 ordinances and read each care
fully and Inquire Into tho history of tho
document, etc. Tho revised ordinances will
be bound and turned over to tho council
Monday night, it Is expected that the re
vised version will then bo referred to tho
Judiciary commltteo nnd the cltv attorney
for npproval. In caso tho work Is found
satisfactory an ordinance wilt be passed
repealing all of the existing ordinances
covered In tho revision and the adoption of
the rovlsed edition.
No attempt has been mado to Include tho
building ordinance or the ordinance gov
erning the sain of Intoxicating liquors In
the revision, as attorneys are of the opin
ion that both of these ordinance are void
ns they now stand on the books. New or
dlnnnees drawn with due consideration lo
tho present size of the city will bo drafted
an soon as tho Judiciary commltteo makes
a report on the revised ordlnnnces. The
sum of $200 Is to be pnld to tho attorney
who mado tho revision.
Until the revised ordinances aro printed
In book form ono copy of the typewritten
ovlslnn will bo turned over to the cltv
clerk nnd the other to Pollco Judgo King.
Fire ll.vilrnnts llelnjrd.
Kive or six weeks ago tho cltv council
ordered n dozen fire b yd rants located In
various parts of tho city. Tho work of lo
cntlng these hydrants by tho wnter com
rany has not yet commenced, and It seems
doubtful now If anything In this line will
be accomplished this fall. Superintendent
Collins of tho wnter company said yes
terdny that the delay was cati-ed bv tho
non-nrrlvnl of the pipe. It will take nenrlv
two miles of mains to locate the hvrants
ordered. At the present tlmo the city la
paying a little over $12,000 a year for flro
hydrants, and still requests for more fire
plugs are constantly being made. There Is
only about $1,000 In tho water fund now,
the 1901 appropriation having been used
lo pay the rental of hydrants up to June
30. While with tho number of hvdrnnts now
In iiso the cost Is over $12,000 a year tho
appropriation for this purposo amounted
to only $11,443.
On account of the building of so many
cottages In various parts of the city there
has been an unusual demand for tho ex
tension of water mains. In caso tho hv
drnnts already ordered aro not located this
winter It Is understood that they will bo
tho first thing In thn spring.
Another Dnniaice Hnlt.
t Hans Hanson has tiled a claim with the
city clfcrk for $IC0. He asserts that on
October 7 of this year while driving across
tho bridge at Twenty-second and Mndlson
strcots his horse and buggy dropped Into
tho creek by reason of thcro being no rail
ing on the bridge. Hansen says tho night
was very dark and ho could not sco the
road. His bill calls for damages to his
horso, buggy, harness and his clothing.
Itriuihllenn llnndiiiiartcr Opened
Republican headquarters havo been
opened In tho Murphy block on Twenty
fourth street. A secretary In charge, will
bo Installed within a day or two and tho
headquarters will then bo kept open from
early morning until midnight. Consider
nblo interest Is now being taken In tho
campaign and candidates aro to be seen on
the streets at all hours now.
Another rousing meeting Is being ar
ranged for Wednesday night of next week
when It Is expected that somo speakers o
note will be present.
Mhrnry Proclamation Printed.
Tho mayor's proclamation calling for a
spccinl election on November S to voto or
tho Carneglo bond proposition Is now being
advertised In the official paper of tho city,
There appears to be no opposition to th
plan as outlined In tho mayor's proclama
tlon nnd the chances arc now that tho
proclamation will receive tho hearty sup
port of a large number of residents here
Tho bonds will be of tho denomination o
$500 each and will draw Interest at tbo
rate of 5 per cent per annum.
CoimlderlnK Attorney' l'roioltloii
Members of tho Judiciary committee of
tho council and tbo city attorney are now
considering the letter recently received
from an attorney In Sarpy county In con
ncctton with tho Mud creek nuisance. Th
Sarpy county authorities now threaten t
secure an Injunction restraining tho city
from using Mud creek for a sower nnd
the council is perfectly willing that such
steps be taken In order that the responsl
blllty for tho alleged pollution of th
stream may bo located. An Injunction,
should one be Issued, would not Intorfero
with tho city to any extent for tbo reason
that tho Q street sewer, which Is the only
ono emptying Into Mud creek, could be
connected with tho city sanitary sewer.
Should this be done It would then bo a
question between tho authorities In Sarpy
county and tho packers and stock yards

Overworked Women.
Fatigue is the natural result of hard work, but ex
haustion results from weakness.
Hard work for a weak woman is traffic in flesh and
blood.
It makes littlo difference what tho field of work is,
whether at homo or elsowhore, if there is weakness, work
brings exhaustion.
Ability to stand tho strain of hard work is tho privi
lege of tho healthy and robust.
How our hearts" ache for tho sickly women that work
for daily bread afc somo ill-paid factory omploymont I
How distressing also to see a woman struggling with
her daily round of household duties, when her back and
head are aching, and evory now movement brings out a
new pain !
If tho mbro looking on at these suffering women
touches our hearts, how hopeless must life bo to tho wo
mon themselves 1
Their devotion to duty is a heroism which a well
person cannot understand.
Can theso ailing, weak women, who aro called upon
to do work which would tiro a strong man, bo mado to see
that they can easily' and suroly bettor their condition ?
Will not tho volumes of letters from women mado
etrong by Lydia E. Piiikliimi's Vegetable Compound,
convince them of tho virtues of this medicine ?
How shall tho FACT that it WILL HELP THEM bo
mado plain ?
When a medicine has been successful in more than a
million cases, is it justice to yourself to say, without trying
it, "I do not believe it would help me"?
Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and
discouraged, exhausted with each day's work. You havo
somo derangement of tbo fominino organism, and Lydia
E. Piiikhnm'H Vegetable Compound will help you just
as suroly as it has others.
Read tho lottors from women in tho opposite column
of this paper, nnd when you go to your drug store to buy
this sterling medicine, do not lot yoursolf be persuaded to
accopt tho druggist's own valueless preparation becauso it

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound lias cured me of painful menstruation
from which I suffered terribly. 1 really believe that I would be insane

" DrcA.it Mrs. Pinkiiam : For eight years I have suffered with inflam

" Dear Mns. PinkitAm: I suffered for six years, sometimes boing
unable to get about at all. It seemed to mo hs though I could not live,
nnd I did not care to. I had womb trouble, kidney trouble, leucorrhcea,
backache, was nervous, and had no ambition. Was obliged to give up
my trade. 1 tried three doctors, but they did me no good, so I thought L
would try Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did so, and I
felt better after tiro (list bottle, and by tho time I had taken six I was
