six members present and when the aud
iting committee presented its report APP
proving of II number of bills Mr..
Thompson objected to the aduntion of
the report on the ground thar ii WAS
not made by the auditing committee.
This called forth Il heated debate and
city Clerk John r. Flannery was an
pealed to and asked tn furnish the
names of the committeeman. lie said
he could not give the desired informa-
tion as .he committee was appointed
during the term of his predecessor,
Joseph O'Boyle, who has left no record
to show who was appointed. ON mo-
tion of Mr.. Dempsey the report was
laid on the table until such time as it
can be aScertained who the committee
men are.
Mayor Maloney sent communication
appointing David T. Schelly city mer-
camille appraiser and the appointment
was confirmed. The mayor sent an
other communication Vetoing Il resolu
tiOn apDropriating $500 for copying the
minutes of past council meetings which
have never been placed on record. The
veto was sustained.
Mr.. Kearney introduced a concurrent
resolution authorizing the mayor to APP
point person to transcribe the council
minutes prior to Jan. u. 1896. 1t was
approved. The work must be done be-
fore the first Monday of April so that
the minutes can be approved by the
councils before they adjourn sine die.
otherwise :he city will have no legal
minutes of the affairs of councils prior

possible to have the work done i'm the

PURSUED BY A DEMON.

How many suicides, think you, read
err, have been committed by persons
driven distraught and hunted to their
doom by the demon of chronic i'll health
Countless. For instance, we know, do
we not, that hypochondriasis. is mo-
nomania-a sort of minor madness
produced by chronic dyspepsia? Again,
Insomnia, or sleeplessness, often re-
suit of the same cause, eliminates in
arrangement of the reasoning facul-
ties. 1t is. therefore, of momentous
consequence to prevent the arrival of
diseases at it's chronic phase, when it
daily and nightly scourges the suffer
or to a dangerously uncertain goal. No
medicine known to science, as a means
of arresting the maladies to which it
is adapted, exists equal to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Among these com
plants are chronic indigestion and in
somnia, kidney and rheumatic all
ments, constipation and liver trouble.
Appetite is improved by the Bitters,
the blood fortified, and bodily sub
stance and vigor increased by it.
