researches were crowned with success. lie
says the statement may strike the public as
incrcdulous, but nevertheless it is true, that
he has treated MS many as three hundred
cases, and never lost a single case lie can
refer to numerous cures IN Cairo, and Is alb
solutcly certain that he has sure and in
fallible remedy. Not being physician, he
makes no charges for his services
and does not, therefore. invite patronage;
but Knowing himself in the possession Of II
"sure cure" he feels that he cannot with
hold it from the suffering little ones in the
families OF his friends and ncighbors. That
everybody may secure mastery over the
terrible disease he will, in Il short time
publish a pamphlet, giving the history of
his discovery, and exact directions so that

The bill for and ordinance under the
resolution of alderman Paticr, that passed
the City Council Tuesday night, increasing
the Mayors salary from $500 to $1,000 a
year, ought to command the approval of the
Council when put upon its passage. With
all the multifarious corporation needs of
city of ten Thousand inhabitants TO look
after, the Mayor certainly has if he
faithfully discharges his duties, but little
time left wherein to do anything else. 1t
would work greatly to the good of the
public service and the advantage of the
city, if the Mayor would devote his entire
time TO the duties of his office, and not have
lis attention distracted by the necessity Of
making living by individual effort. One
thousand dollars year is anything but u
princely compensation for the entire time Of
man who has the capacity TO aCceptably

but the SUN would afford tolerablc sup
port, and the "honor" womb serve as the
profits. 1t is probably true that the office
would not go begging if the salary re.
mains as now at $500; but the question sug-
gests itself, will not the city be more faith,
fully and effectually served, if the salary of
the Mayor bears something like just rela.
ton to the services he performs: We GER
tainly think that such would be the case.
and the probability Of such result is 80
strong that the city would hazard but little
in risking $500 on it.

at all, they select man who will attend t.

Why don't YOU demand that the CITY

if he has performed them!
And especially have expected you to
ask why the Circuit Court was removed

another building, a half mile distant from
the offices and records of the county, and
to u building that would prove hazard.

the officers Of the court permit books and

the Revised Statutes, if you would know
where the court should be held, or ifyou
would know the causes that would Justify a
