Pears
Soap

People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
1t takes off dirt. So far,
so good; but what else does
it do?
1t cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin makes red
ness and roughness and
.teads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears Soap has no free,
alkali in it. 1t neither red
dens nor roughens the skin.
1t responds to water in
stantly; washes and rinses
off in a twinkling; is as
gentle as strong; and the
after-effect is every way
good.
All sorts Of stores sell It,
especially druggists; all sorts
of people use it.

the report was adopted.
Alderman Warmoth for the hospital
committee, made lengthy report on
the condition of the hospital, recon-
mending certain improvements on the
building and showing an inventory of
property on hand. The committee,
referring to the inventory say: Your
attention is specially called to this ex-
hibit, for the reason that it shows the
absence OF very many properties es-
sential to conduct such an institution
successfully and with credit to our
city"
The inventory alludes to the $12O
range and says it is "unfurnished. ~
The inventory also shows the only
stock was two cows nd calf.

clans desiring to lease the hospital,

ana reports the Best.
Los Angeles Times.
Health Officer DR.. MCGOWAN of Los
Angeles has made during the last
few weeks a thorough study of the
baking powders sold in this section of
California.
There are so many baking powders
in the market, the use of which is GER
tain detriment to the health of the
consumer, that this action of DIR. Nc
Gowan in giving the public reliable
and authoritative information as to
the brands that are both economical
and wholesome, is most timely and
valuable. A portion of this report is
as follows:
"OFFICE OF THE HEALTH OFFICER,
"Los ANGELES, CAL, May %, 1891.
"From analyses made by Prof. Ris-
ing, professor of chemistry of the Uni
versity of California, Prof. Wenzell,
professor of chemistry California Col
lege of Pharmacy, and from further
searching analyses made by Profess
sors Thomas Rice & Son of San Fran
cisco, Prof. Hanks and others, and by
analyses which l have personally
made, it is clerely demonstrated and
proven that the Royal Baking Pow
der is pure and wholesome, and that
it stands as far as strength and purity
are concerned at the head of the bak-
ing powders of the United States.
"The Royal is composed of abso-
lutely pure, harmless and wholesome
ingredients of the highest grade and
character.

From which it will be seen that the
increase of the assessed values of 1891
ever those of 1881 are $5,6l1 ,491, and
when we consider that the assess-
ments have been based upon so per
cent valuation we find that the actual
increase of values during the past ten
years has been over ST | 100000.
The table also shows there has
been no "boOmn in our city, but
that the values have steadily ill.,
creased year by year, there being
but one year, 1889, when there
was slight decrease, but which was
recovered more than ten fold the fol-
lowing year. Many new enterprises
have been inaugurated and carried
forward to successful completion.
Among these is our electric street
railroad system, as good and complete
as could be wished for. The city has
leased the railroad to the site of the
dam and it is now in successful opera
tion as dummy line, rendering good
passenger service, thus supplying a
long felt want and at the same
time returning a reasonable income to
the city.
The business interests of our city
are so cOnservative-so much OPP
posed to anything like what is
known as boom-that fear we have
been little slow in taking hold of
some really meritorious enterprises
that would have resulted IN that per-
manent development which is so de-
sirable at all times. L trust that
our citizens will lend helping hand
to all desirable enterprises and con-
tribute literally to the building up of
our beautiful city.
The great undertaking we have in
hand, the building of the dam, and
water, electric light and power works
has gone steadily forward during the
past year, as you will see from the
very able report of the secretary of
the board of public works hereto at
tached.
Although the work is not so far adj
vanced as we had hoped for, yet much
of the most difficult portion Ofthe work
been firmly laid we'll nigh across the
river. The work is being well done
and it will be successfully finished.
To fully understand what has been
accomplished and to realize the i'm

with its strength and durability-in
short to comprehend the work in all
of it's magnitude you must see it. By
seeing you will realize that it is
only a question of a short time
when the dam and our entire
system of water, light and power
works will be completed, and we will
have as good water works and electric
light system as could be desired, with
a water power of $4,000 horse
power; the largest improved water
power, with but one exception, in
the United States, to which we
will invite the attention of
all manufacturing enterprises desir-
ing cheap power.

THE CITY COUNCIL.
THE ANNUAL MESSAGE OF HIS HONOR,
MAYOR MCDONALD.
J, A Comprehensive and Interesting Document
which Will be Read With Interest.
Other Matters Disposed Of
Last Night.

The city council was in session last
night with Mayor Mcdonald in the
chair and all the members present ex-
eept Alderman Will Shelley.
One or two petitions were acted on
and referred.
The city recorder was granted leave
of absence from the 30th of this month
until the fifth of next, to attend a
meeting of the Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows at San Antonio.
The mayors annual message was
then read, as follows:
To the Honorable City Council of the City of
Austin Texas
GENTLEMEN-In presenting this,
my second annual message, permit me
to congratulate your honorable body
upon the satisfactory condition of
municipal affairs, and the unmistaka-
BILE evidences of the growth and pros
perity of our city as exhibited by the
reports of the various heads of depart
ments herewith 81 omitted.
The past year has been one of great
financial depression, seriously affect
ing the condition of the entire civilized
world. This wave of depression has
caused work on many under cakings
to be suspended, and many contem-
plated improvements have been aban-
doned for want of money.
Many cities in our own state
have been greatly retarded in their
growth, causing depreciation in val
ues, which has resulted in many fail
ures in business and much financial
distress.
We have not entirely escaped the
effects of this wave of depression, but
owing to the conservatism of our citi
zens we have been able to pass
through without serious trouble. Our
merchants and other business men
are doing q good, safe business.
Our city has had steady
and continuous growth, buildings are
being erected as they are needed, i'm
provements are going forward on
every hand.
Although there has been little move
ment in real estate, thesales that
have been made have been at good,
fair prices. Values have been stead
lily advancing, keeping pace with the
general growth and prosperity of the
city, as will appear from the following
table. showing the assess d values of
property for the year given:
