ITEMS 0f INTEREST

MISS LIBERTY, who holds aioft the
torch on. Bedloe's Island In New York
harbor, rejoices In what Is literally an
iron constitution, and SO we don't think
it worth while to recommend 10 her the
use Of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
Bat this Is the one great exception which
proves the rule For all the rest Of
womankind the "Fa7orite Prescription"
is Indispensable. The young girl needs
its strengthening help at that critical
period when she is Llossoming into
womanhood. The matron aud the mother
find in it invigoration and relief from
the numerous Ills which beset their exis-
tence. And ladies well advanced In years
universally acknowledge the reviviiying
ard restorative effects Of this favorits
and standard remedy The only medi.
cine for woman, sold by druggist under
a positive guarantee from the manufrc-
turers, that it will give satisfaction in
every case or money will be refunded
This guarantee has been printed on the
bottle wrapper and faithfully carried out
Tor many years.

GARBAGE CONTRACT DEAL
HOW EXPENSES HAVE INCREASED
WHILE SERVICE is POORER.

Mcconnell and Gallagher Have All
Things Nicely Arranged and Their PIGS
Are Wen Fed with Garbage Collected
at the City's Expense old Contractors
gaIk.
Despite the disclaimer Of DR.. Wales,
president of the city Board Of HEALTH
investigation proves that there is more
erookedness in the awards of garbage
contracts than was at first imagined.
1t shows that those to whom contracts
are awarded are either direct sub-con-
tractors under Mcconnell aud Gallagher,
or that there is a tacit understanding
existing among them that virtually
amounts to the same thing. It further
shows that the work, to say the least, has
been but poorly performed.
Above the Appropriation
The appropriation made by City Coun-
Gil for removing garbage for the year
1890 was IS, coo. The awards made for the
work by the Board of Health for 1891.
amount TO 50, 766 35. This is ST, 1855 85
more than the appropriation was fol 1890
The natural supp5sltion is that City
Council will either have to raise the
appropriation to that figure or set the
contracts aside on the informality of the
bids, and the fact that they were ex-
cessively high and secured in an irregular
manner.
But this is not all While in 1890 the
sum Of S., 600 was appropriated by Coun
Gil for the work the bids only footed up
70 81. 760 25. Thus it will be seen that
while the awarded contracts for 1891
amount to 40 798 35 which IL S1 T9R Ri
more than the appropriation for the pre-
ceding year, It is also an actual increase
over and above the contracts of 1890 Of

How it Eas Increased

been increased far atovs the proportion.
