As there are a number of details yet to be
worked out and agreed upon, there Is little
how, It is said, of the city council taking
any definite action tonight on the new con
tract with the Citizens' Gaa and Electric
company, aa recommended by the commit
tee on fire and light, of which Councilman
Tounkerman la chairman.
In Ita report to the city council this com
mittee recommended a new contract under
the moonlight schedule, at 169.50 per vcar
per arc light, which la the rate under the
old contract. At this rate, however, it is
understood the lighting company Is willing
to give the city t per cent on Its gross
earnings from all other slectrical business
In the city, at the same time guaranteeing
that this royalty will reduce the cost of
the lights to about $6 a year each. Mayor
Macrae Is strongly opposed to adhering to
the moonlight schedule and It Is under
stood that several of the counctlmen are
with him In this. The moonlight schedule
has. In the past, proved unsatisfactory, for
the reason that the moon does not always
do Its share when It Is supposed by
the schedule to shine at its brightest and
make the other lights unnecessary. Mayor
Macrae Is quoted as saying that he will
urge the adoption of an all-night schedule
even If It costs the city more.
In Its report the committee msde no refer
ence to the electric light towers and noth
ing Is said by It as to whether the arc lights
under the proposed new contract are to be
placed at street Intersections or ito re
main on the tower aa at present. Nothing
Is said, also by the committee In Its re
port aa to the adoption of a certain number
of Incandescent lights In place or the arc
lamps. This was tried In different parts
of the city for an experiment and Is said
to have proven satisfactory.
Mayor May Balk.
Mayor Macrae at the meeting of the com
mittee of the whole, at which the report
of the Are and light committee was tenta
tively approved, stated he would decline
to sign any contract forth city lighting
until th ownership of the electric light
towers, which hss been In dispute for a
number of years. Is determined. A searoh of
the city records failed to throw any light
upon the question. It has been contended all
along that the city owna three of th eight
towers, but which particular three - has
never been determined. According to Coun
cilman Smith, who was a member of the
city council at the time the towers were
erected, and City Electrician James U.
Bradley, who, at that time was superinten
dent of the fire alarm system, the towers
belonging to the city axe located at Seven
teenth avenue and Third street. Twentieth
street and Fifth avenue and Twenty-third
street and Avenue B. .Until the dwnershlp
of the towers is settled the question of
liability for maintaining them In repair
and safe condition cannot be determined.
The Cltiiens" Gaa and Electric company, It
ia understood, has declined to assume the
responsibility.
The fire and light committee, In Its re
port, recommends, that the price of gas
be reduced from 31.46 to 31.25, and it Is
understood that this has been conceded by
the gas company. The reduced rate Is not
to go Into effect until January 1, 190.
While th price of gaa to the privat con.
Burner does not enter Into the lighting con
tract with the city. It will probably be em
bodied In the ordinance granting the com
pany a new contract.
Chairman Tounkerman has called a meet
ing of the fir and light committee for this
morning to further consider the lighting
matter and the contract with the Cltlxens'
Gas and FJectric company which City So
licitor Kimball haa drafted at the request
of the committee.
The committee will also take up the mat
ter of fire hose, the bids on. which were
referred to It at the last meeting of the
city council and report back to th council
tonight.

KNOWS NOW
Doetor Waa Fooled tr His Own Case
for n Tlsso,
It's easy to understand how ordinary
people get fooled by coffee when doctors
themselves sometimes forget th facta.
A physician speaks of his own experi
ence: "I had used coffee for yeara and really
did not exactly believe It was Injuring nje
although I had palpitation of th heart
every day.
"Finally one day a sever and almost
fatal attack of heart trouM frightened
me and I gave up both teg and coffee, us
ing Postern Instead and since that time
I have had absolutely no heart palpitation
except on one or two occasions whsn I
tried a small quantity of coffee which
caused severe Irritation and proved to me
I must let It alone.
"When w began using Postum It
seemed weak that was because we did
not mak it according to directions but
now w put a llttl bit of butter In the
pot when boiling and allow th Postum to
boll full li minutes which' give It the
proper rich flavor and the deep brown
color.
"I hav advised a great many of my
friends and patients to tear off coffee
and drink Postum, in fact I dally glv
this advlc." Nam given by Postum Co.,

COURT TO DEFINE RELIGION
Amana Colony Cue Brintt Knotty Prob
lem to Supreme Tribunal.
IOWA RAILROADS ALL FILE REPORTS
Net F.arnlna Show an Increase nf Al
most Poor Million Dollars Over
Those of the Preceding Year
Dedicating Monnasents,
(From a Biaff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. June 24 -(Special. )" What
is Religion?'' This I a question that the
supreme court must decide in solving th
disposal of the Amana society case now
before the court The question Is pro-,
pounded In the printed reply of Attorney
Genentl Mullen, which was filed Saturday
with the clerk of the supreme court. The
reply is made to the rrlnted and oral argu
ment of Judge Wade for the society that
the engaging In secular pursuits is Insep
arably linked with the religion of the so
ciety. Attorney General Mullen quotes a
score of authorities on the subject from
the Century and Webster dictionaries to
Tolstoi, Max Muller and Goblet d'Avlella
and Theodore Parker. From all of these
he adduces proof that religion Is a "spirit
ual element lit the human mind," and Is
quite possible of being separated from the
conduct of the vast estate of 26.226 acres
of the Amana society In Iowa county. He
argues to the supreme court that a religious
society Is one organised for the "exercise
of ceremonies and form of worship and
the carrying on of religious work consonant
with the belief of the members of the or
ganization." He argues from these deli
nltlons that religion does not lead anyone
to ce.rry on farming and stork raising and
manufacturing, and endeavors to convince
the supreme court that since the argument
of Judge Wade Is wrong in this respect
his entire argument Is fallacious, since
It Is 'founded on that one claim. Judge
Wade holds that the Amana society people,
believing In the scriptural Injunction of the
apostle to have all things In common, leads
thm to live as they are living and carry
ing on secular pursuits.
Eight Big Iowa Kallrnads.
A. H. Davidson, secretary of the ex
ecutive council, has concluded footing up
the totals and averages of the railroads
of Iowa, the last reports from some small
lines having been received. The figures
correspond practically to those published
In The Bee over a week ago, and show
that eight railroads of Iowa own all but
702 miles of the 9.801 miles of main track.
The figures also show that the mileage of
the roads In the state has remained practi
cally the same, but showing a decrease of
three miles, due to differences fn the reports
last year and this as to what ts main and
what is second track. The total mileage
nf all roads repArted for last year for main
track was 9.804.92. and this year. 9.801.33.
Last year there was reported 707.(16 miles of
second track, and this year, 721.05 miles.
As prepared by Secretary Davidson for the
assessment which will he made by the
executive council the earnings of the eight
principal lines of tffe state are as fol

Trip to Dedicate Monuments.
Captain J. L. Merry of Manchester. Ia.,
one of the monument commissioners of the
state, haa prepared the preliminary to the
program for dedicating the soldiers' monu
ments on southern battlefields. It is the
Intention to leave Des Moines In a special
train which haa been provided for by an
appropriation by the legislature last win
ter. The special train will carry the gov
ernor and his staff, the monument com
missioners and such persons as it is de
cided to take along who are to participate
In the dedicatory ceremonies. From Des
Moines the train, according to present
plans, will go to Chicago, and from there
to Vicksburg, where the monument will be
dedicated. From Vicksburg to Anderson
ville, where a memorial haa been erected
to the soldiers from Iowa who died In the
relel prison. From Andersonvtlle to Chat
tanooga, where three monuments have been
erected, one at Ross Gap. one at Lookout
Mountain and one at Missionary Ridge.
From Chattanooga the party will proceed
to Pittsburg landing. It is the Intention,
to leave the train at some point on the
Tennessee river below the landing and pro
ceed by boat to the site of the monument.
From Pittsburg Landing the party will
come direct to Des Moines. It is expected
that one Sunday will be spent en route,
probably at Atlanta.
Airship at th Fair.
Secretary John ". Simpson of the Iowa
Department of Agriculture Is counting on
the Kanutieshue airship at the state fair
proving the greatest attraction thla year.
He believes that the people of the state
have not become fully aware of what an
attraction they will have in the airship.
It will be the aame ship that passed over
the capltol building. at Washington early
this month when the legislature didn't
wait for congress to adjourn, but left their
seats and rushed out to see the strange
sight. It Is the Intention to lisve the air
ship make dally trips from the fair grounds
to the business district of Des Moines,
eircllng the capltol dome on the way and
Bailing about over the office buildings.
May Set Get House C hamber.
The delegates for the senatorial conven

to meet in this city September 6. may not
get the hall of the house of representatives
In the state house to meet In. It Is dis
covered that there ts a clause In the con
stitution which forbids the use of the halls
of the house or senste for any other pur
pose than for the meeting place of thene
bodies. Some years ago the people of this
city as an Inducement to aecure the an
nual meeting of the supreme lodge of Odd
Fellows offered the hall of the house for a
meeting place. They failed to keep their
promise because of the law which couldn't
be gotten around.

About the only thing In the way of an

This measure carries the authorisation for
federal buildings throughout the country

bill of this character was enacted into law
and in the meantime the force of expert'ar

matter to obtain a new force of competent
draftsmen to fill the vacancies. But this
year the "building boom" seems to have
struck every city In the country and the
salaries paid by architects to their as
sistants have been boosted to such a de
gree that the government payroll has no
particular attraction for the young men
who are usually available when their serv
ices are required. While the San Franclscrt
earthquake and fire caused great distress
and loss of Income to lawyers, doctors and
other professional' men, It has proved a
boon to architectural draftsmen and civil
engineers. Scores upon scores of graduates
of technical schools In the classes of 1906
have found places open to them In the
stricken city and many of these younV men
are already on their wny to the coast
to take up positions with the architects al
ready located there, or who are shout to
open branch offices' In San Francisco. Theno
young men would, perhaps, have been
available to the supervising architect of the
treasury, but for the dissster. As it Ir,
that gentleman sees a dearth of technical
employes confronting him and he will
probably be compelled to delay the pre
liminary work upon plans for some months.
Bo, even If the public building bill does
provide for fifty or sixty new buildings,
as It Is expected to do. Its passage by no
means assures the erection of such a num
ber In the Immediate future. On the con
trary half the members interested in the
measure, at least, will be disappointed and
many of them will close their congressional
careers befnre the first stone is laid upon
the buildings for the erection of which they
havs fought so strenuously for several
years vast.
Ten Dollars to Avert Suicide.
Americans are natural humorists, no
matter from what section of the country
they hail, nor are they at all particular
as to the subject upon which they Joke.
Some two weeks ago a popular congress
man from Pennsylvania, tired of financial
worry, ended hia life after writing a note
to the speaker In which he gave the reasons
for his rash act. A few days ago another
member from a southern state received a
letter from an old friend and constituent
which read as follows:
"Dear John I aee by th newspapers
that one of your fellow congressmen haa
committed . suicide because he was finan
cially embarrassed. Knowing that you are
chronically hard up and fearing that you
may be tempted to follow the example set
I enclose herewith a New York draft for
810. in the hope that this will tide you
over and save your life until congress ad
journs. If It won't let me know and I'll
go you another ten."
And that congressman cashed the draft.
That evening his friends all drank real old
fashioned drinks "with grass In 'em," as
the Englishman described the Julep.

THE Reliable Specialists
DON'T FOR WEAK MEN
Don't put off a duty you owe to "yourself. Half the evils of this life come
from things deferred. The time to see a doctor is when you realise you hav
violated nature's laws. Don't wait until you are forced to pay the penalty.
Don't wait until your whole system becomes polluted with disease or until
your nervous system Is tottering under the strsln and you are a physical and
mental wreck, unfit for work, business, studv or marriage.
Don't experiment with FREE TREATMENT or QUICK CURE schemes.
Unskilled or Improper treatment can only do harm.
