is hoarseDess; this is soon followed bv a
peculiar rough cough. which is easily re-
cognized and will never be forgotten by
one who has heard it. The time TO act is

THAT FUNNY REGISTER.
The Market Street Paper Makes Another
bad Rlundcr.


Yesterday mornings Register contain
ed IN article that created considerable
amusement all owe town. 1t stated that
the Intelllgencer's account OF Tuesday
nights meeting OF council was seen early
in the day to be inaccurate and there
fore the Register was in great demand.
The Intelllgencer's story OF the meeting
was In every way more complete than
that In the Register, az a easily be
seen by a comparison. But the point OF
the Register story yesterday mofping Is
that II either Intentionally or lgnSrantly
makes 4 mlss;atement. 1t states that
the city charter election ordinance was
knocked out In the first branch by a
vote: that the Intell!gencer's statement
that the ordinance was sent W. to the
next meeting on account of the objection
TO It's consideration by Mr.. Zwlcker was
untrue. This makes the matter one OF
veracity, and 1t Is not surprising that the
Register Is on the side of the fence where
vcraclty Is an unknown Quantity-whcre
of course 1t must feel very much at
home. There wa no vote on the elec-
ton ordinance In the first branch and
the ordinance does go over to the next
meeting because Mr.. Zwicker objected.
just as the Intelllgencer stated Wednes-
day morning. True, n motion to post
pone consideration for twu weeks was
proposed by n member, but Mayor Cald-
well decided that Mr.. Zwlcker's motion
suiilccd, and the motion was not put.
