" TALKED BUSINESS, sign, as they did not care to De : vilified - jn - the matter. But the The Richest Man la the "World. There never was an issue be fore the people of this city of such great impo" tance as the mat ter of a water system from this city to Rock Creek. Over the perpetuity clause in the water bill passed by the lasfe legislature 'there ha been graat discussion and those for and against bond ing the city for $75,000 to build such system grew farther and farther apart in their views un til it looked as thbugh the chances for obtaining water under the present bill were being jeopard ized. At a meeting of the Benton County Citizen's League last Tue dav evening: this matter came up and a good candid ex pression of both sides of the ppp' osition was made. As before stated, the opposition to the mat ter of a water system is compar atively slight. The main objec tion -on the part of the people came from th'e perpetuity clause, whereby the commission perpet uated itself. Those named as commissioners have maintained all the time that the bill could be so -changed at the next meeting of the legisla ture as to make the commission ers elective by the people. Many not on the commission shared this view. But others advanced jthe opinion that the bond-holders would have a right to object to a -change in conditions" after they , had purchased; the bonds. 1 From those in favor of the commission .as proposed this' argument was met that the property was good to the bond-holders for the vari- ous sums taken m Donas, conse quently the legislature could, ef- iect a satisfactory change at the next meeting. In reply to this statement , came the assertion that if the property was good the owners of such property had a right to representation in the matter, and so it went. bo tar as we Know, tnere is no objection to the members of the commission as a wnole and on many occasions we have heard it stated , that were thev people to elect a commission it is a matter of doubt if they would in the endchoose so wisely. There is no reward provided for their la bors in connection with the work of building the system. It is stated, and truthfully, too, that a . large portion of the western part of the city is without water pro tectien m case, of fire. A great water system would lessen dan ger of loss from fire and conse quently secure' lower insurance! 3 rates. A few days ago a member of the, proposed commission stated that he believed that the majori ty of those to constitute the com mission would favor leaving to a vote of the people the matter of - the committee to manage the ' works after they Were completed. He thought he would be willing to be balloted on by the people and the four commissioners get-. - ting the largest vote should con ; stitute the committee. Further ' more, he thought that they would .be willing to -pledge themselves to assist in taking the .matter be fore the legislature two years hence and having the commis sioners made elective by the peo ple. ' . . Such a proposition cannot but will be restored, as it strengthens and bin Ida np these ergans as nothing else will. Oscar Bowman.

Wilson both expressed them selves to the effect that there would under the prqposed condi-1 tions be no impediment to effect- ing the Change at the next legis-1 ature, whereby the commission should be made elective by the people. Dr. Withycombe was thorough- y in earnest in having matters pushed along vigorously and de clared that there was not a single thing that was not within the power of the people to fix up in a very satisfactory manner. Many others present voiced this senti ment. We understand that partly as the outcome of this meeting last Tuesday ' evening that . a mass meeting of the citizens is soon to be called and the matter in all its various phases will be thorough y discussed. , There is not a par ticle of doubt but if a number of the proposed changes are put be fore the" people that they will vote the system. They will, as sure" as fate, for they want the water. ' i Fit Glasses PROPERLY, ACCURATELY, and SCIENTIFICALLY To all Defects of - Sight. MATTHEWS, TheJsweler Room 12, Bank Building.

Workmen are already at .the the task of tearing away prepara tory to the reconstruction of the brick stable into a first-class store building. W. P. Lafferty, who is having those changes made, is not going to have the work done by contract, but will personally superintend the work himself. 1 he main building is 50x100 feet and when done is to have a room of this size, with a '15-foot ceiling on the ground flooiv A 6-foot deck is to run along the north and south sides of this room, while in ithe east end, or back part of the building, the decking is to be 24 feet wide. A stairway is to run up from the south side of ' the building and will open from the street. Up stairs there is to be one laree room 50x100, with an 8-foot ceil ing. If considered advisable Mr. Lafterty intends some lime in the future to raise the entire roof sut ficiently to allow a 16-foot ceiling tor the room upstairs. It was discovered that the foun dation was in first-class condition In tact, a better foundation would be hard to find any where, as this one is of brick and asphalt.

I suf fered terribly at the time of men struation, had blinding headaches and rushing of blood to the brain. What to 'try 1 knew not, for it seemed that I had tried all and failed, but I had never tried Wine of Cardui, that blessed remedy for sick women'. I found it pleasant to take and soon knew that I had the right medicine." New blood seemed to course through my veins and after using eleven bottles I was a well woman. Mrs. Bush is now in perfect health because she took Wine of Cardui for menstrual disorders, bearing down pains and blinding headaches when all other remedies failed to bring her relief. Any sufferer may secure health by tak ing Wine of Cardui in her hoine. The first bottle convinces the pa tient she is on the road to health.
