will be held in the several wards to
choose aldermen, wardens and ward

put into the field for aldermen. In Ward

declines denomination. In Ward it is
understood that Alderman Nevins will

Claim He Is Still Janitor.

The members of the public buildings
committee, we are informed, claim that
Mr.. Flaherty isstill janitor of City Build
ing. They say that while the Mayor can
suspend the janitor, he cannot discharge
him, as that power rests with the whole
committee of which the Mayor is but a
single member. Therefore Mr.. Flaher-
ty remains janitor.
The Mayor, on the contrary, insists
that he has the right to discharge Flah-
erty.

CUT|CURA BABY.


This beautiful baby boy, the son OF
Geo. b. and Janetta Harris, Webster,
Ind, is one of thousands completely
cured by the CUTIoURA REMEDIES OF a
torturing and disfguri G skin disease,
after many doctors and remedies had
wholly failed. The marvellous cures daily
performed by these great remedies have
astonished ali familiar with them. None
but mothers realize how these little ones
suffer when their tender skins are liter
ally on fire with itching and burning ecze-
mas, and other itching scaly, blotehy and
pimply skin and scalp diseases.
To know that a single application
of the CUTIcURA REMEDIES will
afford instant relief, permit rest
and sleep, and point to permanent
and economical because most speedy
cure, and not to use them, is to fail in
your duty. Parents, think of the mental
and physical suffering to be endured in
years to come from neglected skin, scalp
and blood diseases. Cures made in infancy
and childhood are almost invariably per-
mament.
