NOW FOR THE ORDINANCE.
The Committee Authorizes City Solicitor
Riley to Draw Up the Document.

There was a meeting of the Commit
tee on Ordinances last evening to con-
slider Councilman Robinson's resolution
providing for an ordinance for a special
election for the issuing Of bonds for the
construction of the electric light plant,
and to consider the manner in which
the ordinance should be drawn.
The early part Of the evening was
taken up in discussion OF the number
of years for which bond could be drawn.
While the ordinances state that it shall
be for not less than ten nor more than
thirty-four, City Solicitor Riley, who
was present, was of the opinion that
bond could be drawn for less number
of years than ten if so desired, the pre-
cedent being established in recent
years by Supreme Court decisions in
other parts of the State.
After some little discussion on other
minor matters, the committee practical
ly decided to run the bonds on the ten
year plan with the probability OF re-
deeming them at an earlier date.
The interest was placed at six per cent.
The City Solicitor was authorized to
draw up an ordinance according to the
usual requirements Of law.

There is more catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
~ failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. ]. Cheney
& Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti-
tutional cure on the market. 1t ia
taken internally in doses from ten drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly upon

lars for any case it fails to cure. Send

FAMINE IN RUSSIA.

LONDON, Dec. l4.-The Chronicles
st. Petersburg correspondent says
matters here are drifting from bad
to worse. The whole energy of the
department of finance seems to be
centered in manipulating funds on
the Berlin and Paris exchanges.
Despite the reports OF gold imports,
the imperial bank return does not
show an increase. There is nothing
to SHOW whether the gold is locked
in the war. chest, or what has be-
come of it, All classes are dis
couraged because of the half-heaIted
measures taken by the government
to cope with the famine difficulties.
In consequence, the famine is only
beginnln 10 be realized. Mer-
chants complain the prohibitions of
grain exports have locked up capital,
aud there Is no circulation of money.
Mobiles are unable to collect their
revenues and therefore decline to
pay what they owe shopkeepers.
The cessation of the court on f.ivo-
lous preteXts causes distress to
tradesmen. Famine funds are frit-
tered away by the local authorities.
The grand remedial measures exist
only on papers. Complaints of
enormous expenditures on the army
and navy are taken advantage of
by those unfriendly to the govern
ment. The whole empire appears
to be a seething mass of discomfort.
