Camp Perry, Ohio. ■During the season of 1 898 nothing ■Was done in rifle practice in the Na tional Guard of the State nor did the usual competition take place owing to the fact that the entire division was ordered to Mt. Gretna for muster into the United States Volunteer Serv ice for the war with Spain. Under the circumstance's it was impossible for the members of the Guard to qualifv as usual and it was decided to issue the sharpshooters' and first and second class marksmen's decorations to all of the officers and men who qualified in 1897, thus making a continuous record for the men who remained in the Guard and qualified in 1899, and also to provide a special decoration for all marksmen who volunteered for the war with Spain.

Royal Votes "No" And when the vote was called for everybody voted for the adoption of the measure but Mayor Royal who ex cused hihuself thus: "I vote 'no' as I do not think the office of highway commissioner should be abolished and be filled later on." Council passed finally the ordinance introduced a month ago by Commis sioner Taylor providing for the issue of the $300,000 worth of bonds au thorized in the fourth improvement loan. This measure gives the sinking fund commissioners the authority to float SIOO,OOO for park improvement, $25,000 each for new bridges, fire ap paratus, public comfort station, mu nicipal repair plant and $50,000 for sewers. At the request of Commisaioner Taylor the Royal ordinance prohibit ing children under the age of 15 from attending moving picture theaters, etc., after 8 o'clock in the evening or during school hours unless accom panied by an adult was postponed. Mr. Taylor wants to look into it a little more thoroughly, he said. Ilowman Saves City Money More than $l,lOO is again saved the city by City Commissioner Bowman, of the Department of Public Safety, as a result of the conference he re cently had with George B. Tripp, vice president and general manager of the Harrisburg Light and -Power Com pany, relative to the underground con duit system. The light company was the only bidder for the placing of the wires of the police and fire alarm in conduit, its figure being $3,190.93. The light company, however, has offered to put the wires down for a lump sum of $2,400 in view of the fact that it has to provide for its own conduits. Mr. Bowman was directed to close the contract after an opinion from City Solicitor Seitz on the sub ject had been read. The Bowman ordinance lopping a dollar from the yearly minimum do mestic water rates was introduced. It reduces the rate from $6 to $5 a year. New Measures Introduced Other new measures included ordi nances by: Commissioner I.ynch —Authorizing the opening and grading of Nineteenth street from Chestnut to Mulberry; Twentieth from Market to Chestnut; Mulberry, Eighteenth to Nineteenth; Hildrup, Eighteenth to Twentieth; Chestnut, Eighteenth to Nineteenth. Resolutions providing for the re appointment of Clark E. Dlehl as City Electrician for another two-year term; granting the Camp Curtin Fire Com pany permission to hold a fair in the house March 4 to 14, were offered by Commissioners Bowman and Taylor, respectively. A bill of $33.75 for damages to car pet caused by an overflowing sewer, tendered by Brown & Co., North Third street, was referred to Commissioner Lynch with instructions to confer with Mr. Seitz as to the city's liability. Council was invited by the Washing ton Fire Company to inspect its Christmas tree to-morrow evening. The ordinances providing for an arc light at Third and Eocust, re-enacting the old paving advertising ordinances and constructing sewers in Fourth and Daisy streets were passed Anally. Chamber of Commerce Expresses Desire to Work With Council In a letter to City Council this after noon the Chamber of Commerce ex pressed its desire to work in harmony with the city government and to do all It can to boost the city and work hand in hand with the Councilmen for the betterment of the peopl of Hurrls burg. Following is the letter: Mayor John K. Roy.il and Mem bers of the New City Council, Harrlsburg, Pa. Gentlemen: The directors of the Harrlsburg Chamber of Com merce take this opportunity of expressing to you,- as the new city officials, their desire to work in harmony with you. The policy of the new organiza tion will not be one of criticism or complaint, nor one of passing various resolutions. There are many ways, we believe, in which the Chamber of Commerce and the City Council can work to gether. The directors do not be lieve the members of the Cham ber of Commerce will ask for changes and improvements in the conduct of the city which are not practicable, and we believe as a general policy it Is better to pro mote things by personal confer ences than to first express desires through the newspapers.

Lane Wants Radium Prices Reduced For Sufferers Washington, Jan. 27. Secretary Lane told the House Mines Commit tee that Congress should break up "the monopoly that keeps radium at a fabulously prohibitive price" and enact legislation to put the curative on the market cheaply for large num bers of sufferers. Secretary Lane declared it was the government's duty to get all- the ra rium it could. He combatted argu ments against withdrawal of lands saying there was no intention of set ting aside a vast area nor to look up the mineral ore lands indefinitely, but simply to get radium out for public use where it would not be in the hands of a monopoly.

OAKLAND SINGERS ORPHEUM HEADLINER Light and Breezy Acts With Plenty of Song Features the Bill Light arid breezy acts with lots of good music make the Orpheum bill well worth while seeing this week. Will Oakland and Co. in a singing novelty is the headliner of the bill and rightly so. The entire group of singers are among the best ever heard in this city and somehow or other the is different from the usual musical turn. The redition of a farcial oper etta "At the Club" is especially well done. Edgar Allyn, the. basso, ranks close to Oakland as a singer in every way. I Mary Elizabeth in a singing and I talking act is sweet and clever; Mc- Kay and Arrtine, a flirtation act, has a bit of clever stepping and good sing ing; Hunting and Francis, another man and girl act, has a lot of new wit and many a trite remark that madt the audience laugh long and heartily, the Randalls in a sharp-shooting act, take away the breath by their daring. One of the best acts on the bill is a skit called "A Letter From Home" with Thomas P. Jackson and Bernars Cavanaugh, as the characters. MAX ROBERTSON. j | Inter-State Commerce Commission's Ruling Eliminates Allowances Washington, D. C., Jan. 27. Mil lions of dollars paid annually to great industrial plants—so-called trusts—by railroad systems in the form of "al lowances" or special services, were held to-day by the Interstate Commerce Commission to be unlawful and un reasonable preferences, in fact unlawful rebates, operating to the disadvantage of smaller manufacturing concerns throughout the country. Elimination of demurrage on "Indus trial lines" owned by the manufactur ing plants and claiming to be common carriers, the admission of such indus trial lines to the benefits of so-called "per diem arrangements," and other practices were condemned as unlawful. The commission held that if they should be determined as lawful, they should be extended to all Hhlppers. Pointing out that the practices con demned dissipated the revenues of the great railroads to the extent of mil lions of dollars each year, the commis sion made a significant reference in its decision. to the present movement among the Eastern railroads for an In crease in freight rates. "Before they may fairly ask the gen eral piiDlic to share further In carry ing their burdens, It la manifest that the railroads must themselves properly conserve their sources of revenue by making every service performed con tribute reasonably to their earnings."

Rheumatism in all of its forms is quickly relieved by medical baths. The crystals of uric acid lodge in the small blood vessels causing congestion with resulting pressure upon the surrounding nerves. This causes the excruciating pains of rheumatism. SULPHUR VAPOR BATHS create a better circulation of the blood thus helping to dislodge these crystals which by these baths are eliminated along with other impurities through the pores of the skin. A few baths a week for several weeks will in a case of long standing bring results; if you do not insist upon doing those things which will cause more rheumatism.
