Mr. Otjen of Wisconsin has introduced a bill in the House providing that the Com- missioners of the District be authorized and directed to change the location of that part of Emporia stree® between 9th and 10th streets extended northeast (West Brook- land), so as to make it correspond to th> same street east of 10th street extended northeast, as laid out on plan of section 2 of permanent highways of the District of Columbia. ee There are “2 weeds in every- Sh body’s garden, and no garden was ever plant- ed in which weeds did not insolently pre- sent them- selves. They come without invitation and without a wel- come. If you recognize them fs.as weeds, and if you have jysense enough to know that weeds choke flowers. There are 5 weeds in the health-garden of many a man and woman, The doctors call them disease germs. If ou have sense enough to distinguish them om the flowers of health, and root them out, you will be robust, healthy and happy. The most dangerous of all the weeds in the flower garden of health is that deadly creeper consumption. There has never been but one medicine that would choke out this weed, root and all. That medicine is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It acts directly on the lungs through the blood, driving out all impurities and disease germs, and building up new and healthy tissue. It restores the lost appetite, makes digestion and assimi- lation perfect, invigorates the liver, puri- fies the blood and fills it with the life-giv- ing elements of the food and tones and builds ate nerves.

THE HIGHWAY ACT The Conferenca Report on the Bill : Agreed To, ee ip eae STANDS AS PASSED BY THE SENATE First Five Sectone-or 1893 Remain in Fokce. THE NEW PROVISIONS The highway extension bill, the Ecking- ton and Soldiers’ Home and the Belt rail- way bills have practically been disposed of by Congress. The conferees on the high- way extension bill agreed late yesterday afternoon by the House conferees receding, allowing the bill to stand as it was passed by the Senate. This bill, as agreed upon, allows the first five sections of the highway act of March 2, 1893, to remain in force, and provides as follows: “That sections six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and nineteen of the act of Congress, approved March 2, 1893, entitled “An act to provide a perma- nent system of highways in that part of the District of Columbia lying outside of cities,’ be, and the same are hereby, re- pealed. A New Plan for Section One. “Sec. 2. That the map known as ‘section 1,’ filed in the office of the surveyor of the District of Columbia on the 31st day of August, 1895, under the provisions of said act of Congress, be, and the same is here- by, annulled, so far as it covers existing subdivisions, and the Commissioners of the District of Columbia are hereby authorized and directed to forthwith withdraw the same from the office of the said surveyor and to discontinue all pending condemna- tion proceedings relating to subdivisions included within said map, and within nine- ty days from the passage of this act to prepare amended plan for that part of ‘sec- tion 1’ outside of existing subdivisions un- der the terms of sections 1 to 5 of said act, and said amended plan when recorded with the surveyor shall take the place and stand for any previous plan of ‘section 1.’ “Sec. 3. That in order to provide grounds for educational, religious, or similar insti- tutions, the Commissioners of the District of Columbia be, and they are hereby, au- thorized to abandon or readjust streets or proposed streets affecting localities that may be or that have been purchased for such purposes; provided, that under the au- thority hereby conferred no changes shail ‘be made in existing subdivisions or in ave- nues or in important lines of travel. “The plat of such readjustment, after be- ing duly certified by sald Commissioners, shall be forwarded to the commission con- sisting of the Secret of War, the Secre- tary of the Interior and the chief of engi- neers of the United St army, and when approved by said commission or a majority thereof the change,sha]] be recorded in the office of the surveyor of the District of Co- lumbia, and become a’part of the perma- nent system of highways, and take the place of any part inconsistent therewith. “Sec. 4. That no subdivision or subdivis- ions made and recorded in section 1 of the highway plans prior to the date of the ap- proval of this act shall be affected er in any way changed by any map heretofore approved and recorded or that may be hereafter approved and _ recorded under the proyisions of this act or of the’ act ‘hereby amended; and no_highwa: hall be located in_ section 1 through any unsubdivided or subdivided lands south of the Spring road that borders Holmead Manor, exgept such as are nec sary to continue or connect existing streets abutting such lands. Owners of Land. “Sec. 5. That the owner or owners of land over or upon which any highway or reservation shall be projected upon any map filed under said act of Congress shall have the free right to the use and enjoy- ment of the same for building or any other lawful purpose, and the free right to trans- fer the title thereof until proceedings looking to the condemnation of such land shall have been authorized and actually be- gun. And as to any highway or part of highway which by any such map is to be abandoned neither the right of those occu- pying or owning land abutting thereon or adjacent thereto, nor the right of the pub- lic to use such ‘highway or part of high- way, shall be affected by the filing of such map until condemnation proceedings look- ing to the ascertainment of the damages resulting from such proposed abandonment shall have been authorized and actually begun; nor shall the obligation of the mu- nicipal authorities to keep the same in re- pair be affected until they are rendered use- jess by the opening and improvement of new highways, to be evidenced by public notice by the Commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia. “Sec. 6. That said Commissioners shall not submit for approval to the highway commission created by section 2 of said act any map or plan thereunder until the own- ers of the land within the territory em- d within such map shall have been given an opportunity to be heard in regard thereto by said Commissioners, after pub- le notice to that effect for not less than fourteen consecutive days, excluding Sun- days.” ——__-e- TEST NOT MADE. Charge of Selling Liquor to Soldiers is Abandoned. John King, who said he was from Illi- neis, was today sent to jail for three months by Judge Kimball for carrying a razor concealed on his person. King was arrested last night by Officer Lee while almost fn the act, apparently, of handing some liquor to soldiers, and a charge of that kind was entered against him. Today, however, this part of the charge was abandoned by Prosecutor Mullowny. In conversation with a Star reporter Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny said he nolle prossed the charge against King for the raason that he had been sufficiently punished in the concealed weapon case. He said the question of whether or not the law had been repealed is one of importanc>, and he thought a poor man not interested in the question of selling or furnishing liquor to soldiers or volunteers was hardly the man to make the fight. King, h> said, could not have made the legal showing in court that should be made, and in consid- eration of his punishment in the other case he thought best not,to prosecute for the al- lsged violation of the law of 1861. Should applications for a warrant under this act be made, he sald, it will be issued, but the matter wil! be*considered by Dis- trict Attorney Davis before the case is pre- ented in court. 33 Mr. Frank Madigan} r2presenting the Uquor dealers, was 4 dourt, anxious to see what action the cotirt would take, and ex- Pressed surprise wiien'‘he learned of the action of the pros ates attorney. The Polic> were also disappointed, for they had hoped that the legality of the act of 1861 would have been s®ttigd this morning, in order to end the ‘uncértainty about the ceses. As the matter’ stands now, they have to sp2nd_aigregt amount of time watching the soldi and the saloons. Mr, Madigan was not willing to make a fight on the King case today, for the rea- son that it involved no question of the ‘| rights of saloonkeepers. He told a Star re- porter that the liquor dealers had mad2 no arrangement to take a test case into court, but they are prepared to defend any per- son who happens to be arrest2d. It was reported to. the ice y2sterday that a number of bootblacks in the neigh- borhood of 6th street and Pennsylvania avenue did a land office business in the liquor line. 5 a The soldiers who visited saloons yester- Gay experienced considerable difficulty in. getting liquor, the saloonkeepers being un- willing to risk arrest. o i ESE Am Attorney Disbarred.

The regiments came by way of Lewinsville and Langley, cross- ed the Chain bridge and went up the Con- | duit road. Camp for the night was pitched on the high ground just outside the Dis- trict line and south of the tracks of the Great Fats electric road. The camp was | peainiy visible from the cars. The men | brought with them the small dog tents, and these were pitched in quick order. The wagon train also accompanied the com- mand. The three regiments were mand of Col. Campbell, th sisting of the Ist New Jersey, the 65th New York and the 7th Ohio. While the enarch Was not so much enjoyed by the soldiers, on account of the dust, the location of the camp proved to be acceptable. Several road houses were near by and shortly after camp was established these Places were invaded by a large number of the soldiers. Curtin’s club house, on the hill back of Dalecarlia reservoir, the place of George Sullivan at the top and that of Nicholson at the foot of Dalecarlia hill and the road house of Hart's, a half mile ‘away, were visited, and in short order everything drinkable was consumed. Other squads of soldiers went still further, to Gien Echo, and even as far as Cabin John under com- brigade con- bridge. This was early in the afternoon. At Cabin John Bridge Hotel the men amused themselves by taking pictures from the walls and doing more or less damage. At Glen Echo this was started, but the fun did not proceed very far. A Wagon loaded with beer, which was dis- ccvered coming up the Conduit road, was taken in charge, and the entire load con- fiscated and consumed. Col. Campbell Appealed To. To protect themselves the owners of the places communicated with Col. Campbell and he detailed guards to look after the property of the complainants. At Glen Echo a force of thirty men was detailed. No soldiers were allowed in the place. ‘hose who came up on the cars were caught, ordered off and sent back to the camp on the next town-bound train. Those required to show their passes before admit- tance to the grounds could be secured.
