By inquiry at the city clerks Office We
learn that Mayor Davenport has vetoed
the action of the council at its last meeting,
ordering an extension of the water works
into Grove street, on the ground that
the city has not the means to carry out the
order. The extravaganza of the water
board ring has used up all the city funds
and left us with debt larger than the
constitutional limit. He has done the best
he could. during the past year to curtail
the extravaganza of this Republican water
board ring and keep down expenses. Had
Jake Wollenhaupt and Bill Atkinson sus.
tanned him, as it was understood they would
when they we're elected, he would have
been able to have materially lessened the
expenditures. AS il is, this water board
council has used up every cent of the
building fund raised by DR.. Gait, and
every cent of the library fund, and to-day
the city is bankrupt and can't pay its city
orders when presented. The city has moi
the legal power to borrow cent of moaey
because our debt already exceeds the hmii
fixed by law. And if this water boare
ring is to run the city another year the
building fund and library will be broker
down, and even the police force will have
to be disbanded If Mayor Davenpor,
had been sustained our financial affairs
would not have been brought to this
humiliating condition.

Another Mexican War Soldier Sends
for Medal.

One of the oldest soldiers in this city is
Mr.. John Frederick Louis Wolfertz. He
was soldier for some years in Germany
before he came to this country. When
the Mexican war broke out he enlisted in
Go. 4. I'd Regiment of Ohio Volunteers,
and served until the close of the war. He
is now II years old and hale and hearty.
Noticing in THE ARGUS few days ago
that all soldiers of the Mexican war were
requested to send to Washington for a
bronze medal made from four cannon cap
tured from the Mexicans during the war,
Mr.. Wolfertz made up his mind to have
one, and on Saturday forwarded his So, the
price of the medal. His wife, Hannah,
who accompanied him all through the war,
is now nearly 70 years old. The old couple
live on Orleans street, between Swan and
Otter, and from present indications both
are good for some years to come. They

In Saturdays Chicago Tribute. we find
the following:
The attention of the Changers has been
drawn to the perverse practices of the
Milan distillery and its willy proprietor,
Jacob Freisinger, as we'll as to the alleged
completely of Collector Weisser IN the
crookedness going on in that interesting
suburban district. Witness after witness
has been summoned and their evidence has
been fortified by evidence of a documentary
character. all going to prove that freisin-
ger made crooked whisky and shipped it
over the railroads to Chicago, New York.
and other places, by peculiar arrange
ment with certain railway officials. where
by no records were preserved of the
amount of goods shipped. A thoroughly
good case has been made out against Fret
singer, and Weisser has been found to
have winked at all sorts of crookedness.
1t is therefore supposed, taking it. alto
gether, that the tworemaining Indictment
are against Freisinger and Weisser. Bench
warrants have been issued, and it is quite
likely that the two gentlemen from the
interior will be called upon to take a trip
to Chicago in the near future.

good deal better and cheaper. Now they

Amelioration and Cure.

Amelioration of the symptoms of a disease is, OF
course, one desirable object of medication, and
there are no doubt, palliatves which possess con
siderable remedial efficacy. The temporary dis
appearance of the indicia of disease, too many
instances however delude the sick into belief thai
they are cured. Many OF those who have borne
grateful testimony of the permanent remedial
effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, in cases o.
liver disorders, chronic constipation Intermittent
and remittent fevers, urinary and rheumatic all
ments have also recorded the fact that the temporl
relief occasionally afforded by the medicines which
they tried before using the great restorative inspired
hopes which were speedily dissipated by return
of the malady. The Bittcrs not only relieve, bu

An ARGUS reporter called on Mr.

this morning, and asked him if he had seen
the item in the Tribune. He said he had,

being indicted. He said that he would he
the last man in the internal revenue SER

must certainly be the storekeepers or
gaugers there-men who we're at the dis
til!ery every day. He says he did not visit
the distillery once month while--he was
deputy collector, nor was it necessary that
he should. He thinks if he had been
indicted the U. S. marshal would have ar

He does not think that Mr.. Frysinaer
