ANOTHER ROUND ON LIGHTS
onncil Scheduled to Take Up the Fleming
Idea at Tonieht'i Meetine.
CHIEF OF POLICE OPPOSES THE PUN
aya s Dtasesse with Itreet Lights
Wesls Pat the City at Ike
Merey of Bsrglara aad
Holdas Mea.
The street lighting situation is scheduled
for another round at the meeting of the city
council tonight and Councilman Fleming
proposition to dispense with ail arc lights
on the public tho rough faxes until the light
ing company la prepared to resume Ita reg
uiar service. It Is stated, will meet with de
feat. The proposition has met with general
objection and the consensus of, opinion
ma to favor the llghta lit half tho time
rather than not at all.
Under It contract with the Cltlsena Gas
and Electric company the city charges the
company up with all "outage," so the city
Is at no financial loss by failure of the
lighting company to render the service con
tracted for.
At the special meeting of the city council
laat Friday night the committee on fire and
light, of which Councilman Younkerman Is
chairman, waa Instructed, at the auggestlnn
of Councilman Fleming, to oonXer wtth the
police department and ascertain If cutting
out the street llghta at night pending re
pairs to the power plant In Omaha would
Interfere with IU work. Chief of Police
Richmond only returned home yesterday,
but as soon as he heard of Councilman
Fleming's suggestion, he practically p'aced
his veto on It. To keep the city In darkneaa
the entire night, he contended, would be to
place the community at the mercy of burg
lara, thlevaa and holdup thugs. "We had
much better have euch light as the com
pany can give pending tho repairs to Its
plant than no light at all," he said.
At the Invitation of Manager A. L, Eng'
lish of the Cltlsens' Gas and Electric com
pany members of the city council and
Commercial club vialted the power plant
of the lighting company in Omaha yester
day morning. They were shown how and
where the recent accident to the machinery
occurred and the efforts the company waa
making to repair the damage and get the
plant In full running order again. They
were ahown the new machinery which the
company la installing with the expectation
of preventing a recurrence of the present
breakdown. The councllmen and others ex
pressed themselves as satisfied that the
lighting company waa doing the utmost
In Ra power to remedy the situation and
that the accident waa one for which the
company could not be held responsible.
A visit waa also made to the power
plant of the street railway company. The
trip was made in ' a special oar arranged
for by Manager English of the Cltiien'
Gaa and Electric company and Electrician
Carr ef the street railway company.
The city council la expected to take some
action tonight relative to ae curing better
Are fighting facilities and equipment for the
city, the need of which waa again made
apparent by the firs laat week which de
stroyed the building and stock of the
Union Transfer company on South Main
street. Mayor Macrae. It la stated, will
advocate the purchase of at least one. If
not two, steamers. The need of larger
water mains In ths Implement district la
also conceded and this phaae of ths ques
tion also will be discussed.

But most people think with their head.
How do you think?
I know WHAT you think If the shoe
hurts.
No matter how you think nor what you
think, you'll think bigger, better and pleaa

Our shoes feel right because they're built
on right lines.
Shoes wear out readily because they lit
poorly, and when the strain falls In spots
you soon learn where the spots are.
Thla same unequal distribution of strain
forces ths shoe out of shape.

(From a Stafi Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Dec. l.-(Speclal.) Here
after on all the literature sent out by the
department of agriculture the state fair
will be spoken of as "The Iowa State Fhlr
and Exposition." It will, In fact, be a
"state fair and exposition," too.
Arrangements are being made to light
the grounds and buildings at night, so that
they will be practically as light as In the
daytime. In addition, the barns and stab!es
and all buildings will be open at night,
and there will be a horse show In the stork
pavllllon. Every year the attendance at
the night attraction at the fair la larger
than can gain admittance to the amphi
theatre to see the night attraction.
horse show In the stock pavllllon will thus
provide for the attendance there of the
overflow ' and will also compete with tho
night attraction at the amphitheatre for
attendance.
The plans for the atate fair as Instituted
at the meeting of the directors of the de
partment last week are very far-reaching
and provide for the Increase In the pre
miums In the horse department by the
addition of 12,500. This will be used to
Increase all the premiums offered and will
also Increase the number of premiums of
fered. Some of this (2.500 Is also to he
used for entirely new premiums, the most
Important of which Is the premium on
American coach horses.
Recently the Unltod States Department
of Agriculture started In Colorado an ex
perimental breeding farm under the direct
supervision of Prof. Carlisle of the State
Agricultural college of that state. Th's
experimental farm Is for the purpose of
breeding a distinct American type of coach
horse. The kind that Thomas W. Lawson
and his class drive to their carriages.
Prof. Curtlss of the Iowa Agricultural col
lege Is Interested as one of the supervising
directors of thla experimental farm. The
Iowa State Fair and Exposition Is the first
state fair or exposition to offer premiums
especially for this class of horses. The
premiums will be so large that they will
guarantee the entrance at -eke fair of the
best class of this kind of hor.es that there
are In the United States, and these animals
will all be available for use at the horse
show at night.
There Is now but one other state fal that
gives a greater total amount In premlumn
In the horse department than does that In
this state, i In addition to bringing In
American coach--" horses, a new classifica
tion, It has also been decided to offer pre
miums on mulea that will made a classifica
tion and department In that line that will
be worthy of the tame.
The Institution ttf these plana will prob
ably bring such a large horse exhibit that
It will be difficult for the fair to handle
them. If, however, the legislature buys
the seven acres south of the present ground
and provldca for. a stock pavllllon there
the directors wllfum enough of the profits
of this year's fair to build a large brick
horse barn that' will hold at least 1U0 head
of horses, which will provide for a large
part of the Increased exhibit.
Attractions for Blight Crowd.
It Is contemplated In the plans of the
directors of the department that with the
grounds brilliantly lighted and all buildings
open at night the 'attendance at night will
be much larger than ever before. Clerks
and people from the city of Des Moineo
generally who tre busy with their work
during the day time and who are largely
unable to attend the state fair nt all will
swarm to the grounds at night. With tho
grounds open each day several hours moro
an additional Inducement will be held out
for the very highest class of attractions and
-oncesslons to come to the fair.
The financial prosperity that has smiled
upon the fair the lust few years Is enab
ling the directors to make the broadest Im
provements In every department. There la
not a department but will be strengthened
the coming year, , from machinery and
stock down to chickens and embroidery. In
fact, the two last, named department urc
coming In for their, share In abundance. In
the course of time the exposition building,
which Is . a subcjuuitlal structure In Ita
frajiuwork, is to be entirely wather
boarded on the outside and celled on the
Inside, so as to uinktJ.lt one of the per
manent buildings vf the fair. The floor on
tho inside will be mado of concrete Instead
of sawdust, and the.. whole character of
tliu building changed.
In the poultry department some compre
hensive plana are on foot. The dipartnnnt
offers premiums for the best milk cow, the
tests occurring on. the ground. It Is now
bring u:ged to offer premiums for the hen
thai lays the greater number of csks In
a period of twelve months. These wouid
be some difficulties attending the test, but
It is believed that It could be acccmplished.

AVO.D APPROACHING WEAKNESS
A disease that robs a man of his spirit, ambition and force
should not be considered a trilling ailment. Diseases or weak
nesses ot men may be primarily Induced from a variety of causes,
such as neglect. Ignorance, overwork, dissipation, etc. The victim
of weakness generally knows the cause. I-rfiss of power gradually
develops. Occasionally weakness Is usually the first sign of fall
ing powers. The man who stopk the cause and begins treatment
then Is restored so quickly by our method that he often does not
appreciate the calamity he has avoided. Deferring an active and
energetic course of treatment meana greater wakness. leading u
Nervous Debility and the complications that ensue. The evils are
both physical and mental.
Such troubles, when neglected or Improperly treated, have
been the means of blighting the most radiant hopes, rendering
business a failure. If you are afflicted with any of these baneful,
body-destroying, soul-blighting diseases, so prevalent among men,
come to ua and we will make a thorough, searching and scientific
examination of your ailments free of charge, an examination that
will disclose your true physical condition, without a knowledge
of which you are groping In the dark, and without a thorough
understanding of which no physician or specialist should treat
you.
The man who haa youth In hla heart, pure blood In hla velna,
ambition, confidence and nervous energy In his make-up, and who
is free from the contaminating effects of these diseases or the de
pressing Influence of Nervous Debility is worth more to himself,
hla family, his friends and the world than is the broken-down
millionaire, with all his wealth In the bank. We have gladdened
the hearts of thousands of young and middle-aged men who were
plunging toward the grave, restoring them to specimens of physi
cal manhood, full of vim, vigor and vitality.
STEPPING STONES TO SUCCESS
Vigorous manhood la the stopping stone to success in life.
The mun who has preserved the vitality given hira by nature,
or, having lost It, has regained It by securing the proper treat
ment In time, Is enabled to shove aside harriers which Impede
hla progress, both commercially and socially. It forces men to
the front In all walks of life. Do you want to he Btrong, pos

the counties were Indebted to the state
IW.OOO. This was gradually reduced a little
at a time till at one time It was down to
$10,000. This, since Auditor Carroll came
Into office. Under the direction of Auditor
Carroll, J. F. Wall of Mount Ayr, clerk
for the revenue department, pressed the
matter In correspondence with the various
county auditors In an effort to get the ac
counts all atralght. The amount .was
greatly reduced, but could not be wiped
out, and on the recommendation of Auditor
Carroll the legislature last winter enacted
a law providing that counties must pay
2 per rent a month Interest on all back
accounts. This Is the same amount that
the counties are allowed to collect from
cltlx' ns who fail to pay their taxes. This
law did the business. The law went Into
effect July 4. 8 nee that time the counties
have been r'duclng the amounta they owed.
They were unable to wipe out the Indebted
ness entirely, but It will be wiped out by
January 1, according to the state auditor's
ofllce.

u.iry 1, when Senator Allison waa expected
to re-iuh Wabhington.
It has been understood for some time that
a blate wua all prepared und that tho
former understanding as to appointments
weuld be maiutuiiied whereby each con
gressman and senator had the glv.ng out
of uiua appointment. This slate did not Coll- i
templute the reapt Intment of McMillan.
If McMillan is u candidate for reappoint
ment it may dmarrange the entire siate.
and the allotment of appointments by coii
grekaioiial districts may not be fallowed at
all.
in aJdition to the candidacy cf Marshul
Christian for reappointment, it is learrej
that John Ledjjerwood of Decatur county Is
a candidate for the same position In addi
tion lo liinshaw ef Jasper. There la a story
current lhat George Christian, murehul for
tho southern district, because of tho oppo
kltion to lua rvappointmtut, has promised
that lita deputy, Howard Hedrlek, will not
be reapp li.ted. Iledrtck U Christian's busi

There seems to be little question but that
a conferenie of the members of the Iowa
delegation will be held in Washington soon
af u r the holidays and aome are arguing
that Im cause a conference la to be held
there ran be no agreement to follow the old
lu.. atid apportion the appolutuienla by
! tho other chamber und then through the
house, finally to be presented to the gover
I nor for his approval. Finally, after all
this work, Mr. Byrkltt points to the fact
I that frequently the law Is declared un
constitutional. He thinks a commission
would give a proposed law closer study
before enacting It, and with the attorney
general and supreme court to advise with
there could be no excuse for enacting un
constitutional laws.
Clash Over Summer School.
The proposed summer sehool ai the Sutc
Agricultural college at Ames, may be the
cause of a clash between the three atate
educational Institutions of Iowa when the
leglKluture meets, and may be aa addi
tional ground for the legislature passing
the law providing for a !oard of contro
tor ine inree iiisiiiuiions. ti i neins
claimed by friend of the two other Insti
tution that the State college promised
faithfully that it would not start a summer
school In opposition to the summer school
of the two other Institution, provided, the
tv.o other institutions did certain things.
Now it seems assured that Ames will ask
the leg.slature for an appropriation sum
cient to inaugurate a summer school, and
the two other schools will attack and re
sim the request. The annual report of
President Storms has not yet been filed
with Governor Cummins, though It Is ex
pected any day and Is now over due. In
that report will be enumerated the various
