THE WATER QUESTION
a
It Is probably unnecessary but it can
do do barm to suggest that tbo city
oouocil should investigate with the ut
most c ara before It acta In thla water
works matter. The cUr cannot afford
to shoulder a debt of $.5,000 and an ob
ligation to perft ct a water supply at a
further expense carelessly The de
tails of the proposition should be work
ed out with painstaking and <then there
should be tho fullest and widest publici
ty concerning (he whole matter before
the city obligates the taxpayers.
So far as concerns the general propo
sition certainly there will be no one to
dispute the necessity of the city's hav.
ing an absolutely unfailltng water sup
ply, nor is any one likely to question
the contention that the municipal water
system should be free from any entaag
ling alliances, if practicable. The
question .is how best to secure the
first and whether the cost of the latter
wsre such as to make It Impracticable.
Is is ln><u gtng undue sarcasm to note
that the Rev. Mr. Clark, wbo officiat
ed at the Corey wed. Ing, did not dis
cover that he bad committed a grave
wrong and that it was a duty to return
that check for (1,000 until his congre
gation bad made it so warm for h m
that be discovered his job was in jeop
ardy ?
The evidence Is unmi?takable that
the administration will experience very
hard sledding before it lands Taft in
the Wtnie House, if, indeed, itrccomp
llshes that task at all. ibe people
absolutely refuse to warm up to tbe
big secretary of war.

Cleveland, May 1ft? The inability cl
the Taft-Foraker factions of the Re
publican pprty to patch up their differ

fresh hope. It is now believed a demo

Curfew Will Peal It's
Warning Tonight
Unless some heroic maiden prevents,
tbe curfew will ring out its warning
peal this evening, and it wlil then
behove the juveniles of this cky who
are under 16 years of age to hie them
selves off the street and to home and
mother. The so-called curfew ordi
nance was passed last sight, under a
suspension of the rules, receivlLg the
unanimous vote of the counoil.
The law mokes it unlawful for a bo;
or girl under 16 years of age to be on
the streets, unless accompanied by an !
adult person, v after 9 o'clock in j
the evening between May 1st and >
October 1st. From October 1st to the
1st of the following May the hour is set '
at 8 o'clock.
The old bell which called Skagway's !
citizens to church on Sundays and '
Skagway's children to school on the
secular diys, which still hangs in the !
municipal hall, a relic of the days ]
agooe when that building served for <
church and school house, will be used !
as a curfew. The chief of police will ]
see to the ringing of the bell.
The ordinance makes the parents,
guardians or otner cnstodions of child
ren liab e for its violation as well as
the children themselves. The mini
mum flue is $2 and the maximum 310.

WHY SO WEAK?
Kidney Troubles May b a Sapping
Your Life Away
When a healthy mau or woman be
gin* to run down without apparent
caus*, becomes weak, languid, depressed
suffers backache, dizzy spells and
urinary disorders, look to the kidneys
(or tbe cause of it all. Keep the kidneys
well and they will keep you well. Doan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and
keep them well.
Jas. Vandervere, motorman O. E. Ky.,
living on Central St. .corner Second St.,
Olympia, Wash., says: "Just about
two years ago, I learned about Doan's
Kidney Pills. I was troubled a great
deal with backache at the time. At in
tervals, the pain was severe and at
other times, a steady dull aching.
Whether it was my work or colds or
both that caused the derangement, I do
not know, but what I do know, is that
Doan's Kidney Pills quickly relieved
and eradicated the complaint, stopped
the aching completely and strengthened
my back so that I could lift, stoop or
bring any of the buck muscles into play
without tbe slightest twinge. I consider
Doan's Kidney Pills unsurpassable.''
