The $SOO,OOO.

There is an impression among some
of the people Of the city that the
amendment to the city charter to in
crease the bonded indebtedness to the
amount of 100000 is for the purpose
of expanding that amount at one
time or within a short time. That is
not the purpose. The purpose is the
same as IL was on former occasion
of a similar character, and the city
was ten years In consuming 100000,
and it is presumed that 1t will take
several years to consume the amount
now asked for, and II is wrong to say
that it is the intention to consume the
whole amount at any one time, or that
any part of it is to be used for pri-
vate gain, or in other words for
"boodle." The checks and safeguards
that will surround the expenditure OF
monies in the future are to be. string
ent and iron clad.

Suspicious Characters.

VIM. Jones, John HapletOn and Joe
King were arrested last night as sus-
picious characters. Joe King begged
his supper from Mrs. Mansfield, the
lady whose house was burglarized
Tuesday night on Polk street. and The
police have an idea that Joe knows
something about the burglary. Officer
Ahearn made the arrest. The men
were transferred this morning from
the mayors court to the Justice court.

The rumor that has been afloat the

the city charter Independent of the
action of the city council. The HER

The old story Of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea-" gets a new Illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria. The
story is soon told: My daughter" said a
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out of
health-pOor appetite, disOrdered digestion,
pale earthly color, pain in the head, limbs
and back, and every now and then right
hard chill, followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine, just as he did from the
trst-and so kept doing all along-until the
name of quinine sounds like the tOlling of
the bell Clearly between the two, her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea- Sometimes the name is
varied, and 1t is called some other inc in
place Of quinine. but it is all the same-the
old firm with new sign. In this dilema a
lady friend said: Why not try Humph-
rey'5 Homeopathic Specifics, Nos. Ten and
Sixteen tried them. They were a sue
cess from the first, and not only cured the
malaria, but restored her to perfect health
and left no trace of disease or drug pois-

this: The railroad Of to-day is too small
an affair; it is too crooked and too insig-
nificant Take points like Chicago and
New York. An ordinary railroad is too
small an affair TO do the business. Let
mint Of capital build road as straight as
the crow travels, from New York 10 Chi

regardless of hills, mountains and valleys.
Build a track, say Is feet wide Let the
rails be as big-well, as big around as
sea serpent for instance. Then build an
engine with drivers ten feet high, every
thing heavy and strong in proportion /
mean build great big railroad, as much
ahead of the present roads as the present
roads are ahead of stage coaches. Steam
up your big engine, pull the throttle
wide open and let her go! Give her
straight track clear the deck and I'll bet

spell.

benefit. Several doctors treated my ease,
but none gave relief. finally used b. b. b.
as an experiment. and to my utter astonish
ment, all pain and suffering vanished after
using three doses. To the present time
have used three bottles, and not pain has
ever returned. do not know what was the
matter. neither could my physician name

II seems strange, on the first blush of
the matter, that 50 very few accidents be-
fall sleep walkers. The proportion Of
instances in which any injury is sustained
by the subjects of this remarkable state Of
semi-sleep is very small The explana-
tion Of the immunity is doubtless to be
found in the fact that il is state of semi
sleep in which the sleep walker makes his
excursion. He is only sleeping only SO
far as part of his cerebrum is concerned.
The rest Of his brain is awake, and there
fore it is really not a strange feat to walk
carefully and escape injury, doing all the
necessary acts of avoidance while carry
ing out some dream purpose, just as a
waking purpose is fulfilled. Lancet.

PAwNISG HER BOYS CLOTHES FOR MED-
ICINE- A poor woman in Wales, whose
boy had been very i'll for several years, had
expended all of her means to pay for medi-
cine. At last the doctors gave him up and
said he must die. He suffered so terribly
with rheumatism that he could not be
moved. One day some one told her about
the Mount Lebanon Shakers. The evidence
of the curative powers of their Extract Of
Roots was so convincing that she pawned
the poor boys clothes TO buy bottle Of the
remedy tSiegers Syrup, but now she feels
proud that size did SO. for it was the means
OF curing her son. The Shakers say that
this is the result of indigestion and that the
medicine cured the dyspepiia, and that the
rheumatism was only symptom Of the
real disease.

Self-praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit
person to tell the truth about himself. When
what he says is supported by the testimony
of others no reasonable man will doubt his
word. Now, to say that AllcOck's Porous
PIasters are the only genuine and reliable
porous plasters made is not self-praise in
the slightest degree They have stood the
test for twenty-five years, and in proof of
their merits it is only necessary to call at
tentiOn to the cures they have effected and
to the voluntary testimonials OF those who
have used them.
