City authorities and tee baron are sched uled for a clash. Inspector of Weights and Measures John Grant Pegg Is to be called on to get busy with the Icemen. Ice wagon onvers, carrying out, the orders of their chiefs, are refusing to weigh Ice In quanti ties of less tbaa 100 pounds. "We don't hare to weigh lea unless It Is In 100-pound lots,"' said ah Iceman to a customer Mon day . avanlngv And upon Inquiry It was found that this iceman did not hare any scales on his wagon, so that he could not have weighed the Ice, no matter how much the customer might hare wanted. Icemen are said to be not only Impudent, but de fiant In their conduct to patrons, whom they claim to have at their mercy. "Here's the tea." on Iceman la said to have as serted, ' "you can take It or not. Just as you please: we've got you, and what are you going to dor An ordinance was framed at the Instance of Mayor Dahlmah and passed by the coun cil July H approved three days later, which absolutely' requires all Ice, coal, grains, fruits, vegetables, berries or other goods, wares, . merchandise, commodity or produce sold by weight or measure to be correctly weighed or measured, as the case ma ba, before delivery to the purchaser. Infractions of the law are punishable by fines tanging from t po $100., and both em ploye t and : employer are held' Jointly re sponsible. ': ' ' - -I,.- 'Aimed at ,Iee Men. The law was designed specially to secure the weighing of all Ice, In response to complaints , from many sources that ics wagon men were not putting retail deliv eries on the scales and frequently gave less weight than paid for. Mayor Dahl mao, realising the difficulties In the way of proving an Ice trust and getting a re duction In prices, declared that he would at least do- hla best to obtain full weight for the high charges. The ordinance ro' ferred to waa drawn up at his suggestion and waa passed by the council unani mously. So far there haa been no prosevu ttcois, under It One or twe cases of alleged violation were reported to the mayor and be' Instructed the city prosecutor to Inquire Into the.arrdr, jee if -evidence to convict could be 'obtained1. Nothing " more " was heard about the Incidents In question. In order to avoid the appearance of class legislation ' the ordinance was made to cover every thing sold by weight or measure, provides penalties for short weight or measure, Is sweeping, and the legal department believes It a valid law and one capable of enforcement.

TRAINOR VISITS INFIRMARY Coanty Commissioner While la Pes. er Inspects Connty Hospital for Information Here. . County Commissioner P. 3. Tralnor has returned from Denver, where he spent sev eral days. As chairman of the county hos pital committee bs was Interested In the Denver county Institution and took occa sion to visit It and the poof farm. He gave particular attention to Denver's method of csrlng for tuberculosis patients, as this Is a problem the county board here is trying to solve. , ' Somewhat to his surprise ' hs found no provision In the county hospital there for the Isolation of this class of patients, al though there Is always a number of them In the hospital. They are kept at the hos pital until they are strong enough to be moved and then they are sent to. the poor farm, where there Is a small building Bet apart for them. There Is no special treat ment prescribed for them here, however. The cere of this class of patients Is left largely to private Institutions. The hospital is about twice as largs as the Douglas county hospital and has 2S0 inmates. The cost of running It Is 90 cents per capita" per day. The poor farm consists of $00 acres and Is maintained at an annual expense of I7S.000 over the income from the land. There are 12S Inmates and the per capita cost is about $0 cents a day. Mr. Tralnor figures that this Is considerably more than It costs to run the hospital and poor farm -Jure. At the Denver hospital there are fifty female nurses and frve internes. At the Douglas county Institution there are nine nurses and not more than two Internes. NEW LIGHTS ARE UNPOPULAR Hoops of laeandesreats for Ak-gar-Ben Brine Oat Chorns f Knocks.

Etont, Lscal Frisod. HE WANTS ' NEW REMEDIES PROVIDED Manager Poeoek of Hotel Ryan, St . Paal, Declares Against . Eater talalag Kecre Guests at Leading Hostelrlee. ' The chief paper of tha morning at the second day s session of the Northwestern Hotel Men's association waa that of J. F. Stout of the law firm of Hall Stout, on ths subject of "Hotel Legislation In the States Comprising the Association." Mr. Stout's argument was to the effect that there wss no actual law In any of ths states that protected ths hotels against the deadbeat and petty thief, and that It was of little avail to take such cases Into ths criminal courts. Ths only remedy be could suggest under the present conditions was to demand advance payment of suspected parties. To post such parties might result In retaliation: on ths part of ths profes sional beats, who were usually rather smooth Individuals. But little good wss ordinarily realised from levying on ths baggage of such par ties. Mr. Stout suggested as a remedy ths Institution of some sort of a protective Insursnce organisation among the hotel men, whereby they might be Insured against the work of beats, which would result In a more careful Watch over the actions of suspected parties. This might also Include losses sustained from the pe culations of, dishonest employes and guests. He thought also that a law might be en acted limiting the responsibility of hotel proprietors for articles left In their csre by guests and placed In the hotel safes. However, ths general laws protecting hotel proprietors that were now on the statute books In msny of the states were fairly good and as a nils he would advise against too many special laws. Deadbeata and Colored Men. As a result of Mr. Stout's paper a com mittee was : appointed of which President Rome Miller was elected chairman, with vice presidents from each of the states, to formulate a bill covering ths suggestions Implied In Mr. Stout's paper and submit tha same to the several state legislatures. A. A, Pocock of the Hotel Ryan of St Paul read a paper on the subject of tha en tertainment of colored guests at hotels. He said he would not permit the entertainment of these guests at his hotel. The discussion was brief. W. B. Betty of Hotel Life," Cleveland. O., discussed hotel matters In Its various phases from a hotel paper's point of view. Other papers, including "The American and European Plans." "The Commercial Traveler and the Hotels," and. the 'Treat ment of Regulars in -Rush- Times,"- con cluded the morning session, with brief dls--cusslons. ..-.. , The afternoon was given over to the die- cusslon of vsrlous hotel topics, inoludlnw a paper by I. A. Medlar on "Hotel Advertis ing," and one by Rome Miller on "Hotel White Elephants." The effect of the pure food law on the hotels was also scheduled for the afternoon discussion. Tuesday evening the visitors were en tertained at Lake Manawa as guests of T. J. O'Brien of the Henshaw. The session will close Wednesday with the election of officers and In the evening tho visitors will be entertained at a recep tion by Mr. and Mrs. Rome Miller at their country home, "Hlllcrest," on the Florence boulevard. -..'

Julian Olseen. treasurer of Trlnltv Methodist church, walked briskly up to the receiving teller's window in the United States National bank Monday after noon. Shoving a shot baa half IMel with silver coin through the window, he said. Borne more money for the church." Tha teller counted the money, and whan hla practiced fingers reached a certain sickly- loosing ana ngni weight silver dollar, he disdainfully handed It back to Mr. Olseen. it waa largely composed of "lean". tr Olseen had to take a good coin from his pocket to fill up the hole In the church account, and as he gave It to the teller he remarked. "Id give $t to know who It Is keeps paying his pledge with bsd money." Mr. Olseen Intended to keep It quiet, but one of his friends witnessed the episode and told It to his co-workers at the grain office of W. C Sunderland. He was ths butt of all their Jokes until he managed to pass the coin on Joe McOrath, and now Joe Is trying to get rid of It. Bowel Complaint la Children. When six months old the little daughter of B.
