WIN. Ii. MCINTYRE,
Chairman.
Supervisor Stevenson submitted the fol-
lowing report, which was adopted:
Mr.. Chairman, &C.: Your committee on
complaints and Attachments woulIrespectfully
report that they have examined the matter
of the petition of the Central Union re,s
phone Co., presented before them, rslotlvs
to their line in this county, and we find
nothing to complain of and recommend the
assessment remain undisturbed. And we
have also examined the petition of 8. W.
Williams, of Streator, asking an abatement
of $500 on his residence property in StI.a-
tor. Your committee, after considerable in
quiry, conclude said property is assessed out
of all proportion to like property in the
same vicinity; and that said S. w. Williams
omitted attendance at the town board Of re-
view because Of being assured by the asses
sor that he had assessed said property at the
sum of 500, which assessment was entirely
satisfactory to said Williams until after the
day Of review, he found the assessment was
81 ,000 instead of 500, as represented.
Your committee, therefore, recommend tina.
the sum of $500 be abated from the assess
ment Of sub lot |, of lot 4, block 81, original
town Of Streator.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
JAMES W. STEVENSON, Chairman.

following report, which was adopted:
Mr.. Chairman, &c: Your committee on
complaints and Attachments would respect
fully report that they have examined the
matter of the petition Of Levi W. Rood, of
the town Of Mission. presented before them,
asking an abatement Of the assessment Of
certain moneys loaned by him for parties
non resident After having heard the petit
toner, by himself and attorneys, and after
consultation with the county attorney and
the different decisions Of the Supreme Court,
your committee are Of the opinion that to
adhere to said assessment would be barren
of any good results and would probably
lead TO expensive litigation aud trouble, and
do therefore recommend the abatement Of all
such assessment prayed for in the petition.
Your committee have also examined the
matter Of the petition Of Mrs. B. NJ. II.
Duncan, Of La Sale, relative to the assess
ment Of certain business property in said
town, and find we have no jurisdictions and

has been asked by millions aud successfully

Q wonderful force which Wo cannot SEQ, but
that tho moment Il departs, all power IA
gone, Every instant some particle in tho
body Is being destroyed by action, e1ertion
or thought, and those particles arc every
moment being renewed by new particles.
That constitutes life, aud whom this renew
Rl ceases, II " death But q very Rlight
thing interferes with thisrenewRl, and hence
death becomes 30 easy and life 30 difficult.
When there Is tendency In any part Of
the body not TO renew tho destroyed ele-

and digestion poor, aud the appetite gone,

appetite, The most modern scientific re-
medy discovered for accomplishing this re-
suit has been found in the wonderful Voll.

ably doing more TO avert sickness, renew
life andres health than any other prepar-
alton known to modern science. II gives TO
weakened faculties that which addsnsw life.
Il puts the system in q condition where
II can vigorously maintain the force Of life,
and hence It avoids the frat symptoms OF
death, which are disease,
Many mothers wonder why II is they are
less strong than formerly; why Il Is so much
more difficult to perform their duties than II
was o year ago, Tho answer Is 10 BIO found
In tho fact that their bodies are less vigorous,
and hence, do not renew the dead particles
which arc being consumed every moment,
throughout the body. We know of humid
reds OF men who were once strong hearty
and In perfect condition, who wonder why
they cannot endure as much as formerly,
and why it's they have been losing strength.
The answer Is simple, and Ia, that the yigor
Of tho system Is impaired, and hence the
new PARTICLES Of life do not take tho place OF
the dead ones. TO all such people VClina
