Consultation Free. MYERS-DILLON DRUG COMPANY 16TH AJTD FAJLVAH 8T8 NEWLYWEDS ARE SEPARATED Husband, Returning from Baltimore, Insists on Talking Politics. JUMPS FROM TRAIN AFTER START Wife Watts at Fremont for Comias of the Mis She Had Wedded at Baltimore bat a Short Time Before. Mr. Newlywed was busily engaged In a "talkfest" with a fellow traveler at the Union station this morning. Tea, Mr. Newlywed was on his way horn from Baltimore he had Been an onlooker at the democratic national convention, not a delegate. And Usten-he haa been caught In the -matrimonial meshes while there no, not by one of those Baltimore maids she was a schoolgirl friend who had come over to the convention from Atlantic City. Traveling friend ' and Mr. Newlywed soon forgot nuptial topics, however, and became busily engrossed in the progres sive outlook and the possibilities of a third party. Mr. Newlywed was Just summing up his arguments on the "steam roller" when a demure little hand tugged his sleeve and murmured something about train time. Hubby smiled sweetly, Ignored the warning and continued his amateur political conversation. Just then the Overland Limited gave an almost inaudible toot as a signal warning to start. Mrs. Newlywed hurried through the Iron bars, expecting hubby to follow. Indeed, he kept on until she reached the "El Monte," one of the Pullmans about five cars from the rear. To the polite request of brass buttons she re plied that hubby had the tickets. Already the Limited was creeping out from under the train shed. Sfewlyweds Separated. Safely ensconced in the Pullman Mrs. Newlywed glanced back and saw hubby and his traveling friend walking non chalantly through the gate. Of course he would catch the train. Mrs. Newlywed would stay in her seat until hubby found her Just to worry him over his lack of attention. By this time the Limited was making a fast dog trot gait and increasing its speed every minute. Hubby and the traveling man glanced at the moving train and "steam rollers," progressive parties and the recall of Judges were forgotten. They both started on a speedy Olympic sprint for the train, gained it and hopped aboard a Pullman about three cars to the rear of the El Monte. "Have ydv seen my wife?' breathlessly queried Mr. Newlywed of the conductor. "No, sir," answered that individual. "This is a special car of Chicago business men bound for California." One glance into the interior of the Pull man bore out the official's words. " Thero were .no women there. , "We're on the wrong train," gasped the traveling friend when he heard the words "special, Chicago business men." Mr. Traveling Man pulled on his Pan ama, scrambled for the step, bopped off and was followed by Mr. Newlywed minus a straw hat in the hasty exit. It was only after a hurried conference with station officials that the political pair were convinced of their mistake. As a result Mrs. Newlywed is waiting In Fre mont until the Los Angeles Limited comes along this afternoon with hubby.

Judge Ben Baker, city corporation coun sel, told the city commission and the water board yesterday thst extensions could not. be made nor water mains laid by the water board without the consent of the council. Judge Baker will render a written opinion In the case Friday. He said he looked up the law and found that the water board didn't "own the water plant, but simply had supervision over It." He also asked for harmony because the question raised would readily permit of further litigation unless a compromise between the board and the council could be reached. This opinion followed objections to lay ing the big forty-eight inch Florence main down Twenty-Seventh street, made by B. J. Seannell and Nels J. Anderson. They declared the street "was filled up." as a huge sewer had been constructed in It and a six-Inch water main laid over that. Water Commissioner Howell, replying to a question from Commissioner Ryder as to whether the Water board had ever contemplated consulting the council In the matter of tearing up streets to lay mains, said the question had been met with for the first time. Mr. Howell Invited the commission to Inspect the plans, which he said would prove that Twenty-seventh was the log ical street for the main. He said en gineers had been brought here from 8t Louis, examined the system of mains and designated Twenty-seventh street for the big pipe. Further Mr. Howell asserted the water company had been building other mains, two of them thirty-six Inches, with' tho Intention of some time connecting with the forty-eight-inch main on Twenty-sev- enth. To change the plan now, he said, would mean added expense and a main of decreased efficiency, because a right angle turn would have to be made to run It down Twenty-eighth street, the next "most logical." Judge Baker gave it has bis opinion that the council dould use Its own judg ment In naming conditions under which the Water board should make extensions and lay new mains. This would compel the hoard to pay the cost of relaying streets torn up In the process of con structing such mains. Democrats Drifting Back from the Big Baltimore Meeting Louis J.
