Those persons, and their number
is legion, whose fondness or the
summer dr se,t is such that they
re des'ei,p'rd ice cream tends, will
be glad to know that the value of
ice cream as a remedy for certain
intestinal tsoa''les is being advanc-
ed. Some. indeed mos physicians
permit it TIN Y ;nout typhoid feyer,
,lways insisting that it shall be of
the pursst make. To the story now
goius around in print, of the entire.
cur, of a case OF ulcer Of the stom-
ach by the sole and pc stent use
of ice cres.n, may be added to that
of "a woman. She suffered from q
serious affection Of the eyes, direct
ly traceatle to digestive disturban-
ces, and her physicians finally put
her upon ice creamas a SOLE diet.
For eleven months she literally
lived upon ics cream, with the re-
sulc of efs-ctins permanent cure.
The theory Is that the cream fur

the dis ased intestines, chilled by

are prevented from getting up in

out of the hands of the original 10
Gators and dt ed ON that day was
filed by Supt. R. M. Straus with
County Recorder NJ, !. Pool, which
conveyed all right and title IN said
mines to Mr.. Lane and the consider
alton therein expressed is $l50,0oo.

Since that time shaft has been
run down over 200 feet and cross
cuts made which at the present
stage of development shows more

funds were already in hand for the
completion of the entire work, and
itonly remained for the promoters
to complete the estimates Of mate

awarded.
The reservoir propen will cover
eighteen miles long BY three miles
wide, and the dam will be 2ol feet
high and 500 feet long When
filled the reservoir in its shallowes'
point will be $50 feet deep. From

by this company may be had,

some assurance that mucb of the
work will be done by local labor.

What The People Are Saying.

What The People Are Saying.
A large number of our thoughtful
citizens have concluded that our city
government was fast approaching
bankruptcy, because of the failure to
pay promptly the ordinary running
expenses, notwithstanding the issue
of 100000 in bonds to pay past due
Indebtedness.
A city with S31, 100000 assets in the
shape Of taxable property, with only
$2,063, 800 bonded Indebtedness cannot
go bankrupt with any well devised
plan Of city government. Bankruptcy
is the last thing we should think of,
it would set our city back for years
and stop its growth and prosperity.
The first care of the city government
should be to pay it's laborer and SER
want to do this expenditures should
be regulated by the possible income
from taxes and other revenue; so as
to provide for the fixed charges
against the city.
First of the fixed charges, we can
place the bonded debt for which we
must provide interest and sinking
fund. Our credit depends upon the
provision for this item, because il we
fail to met the interest on our bonds,
or provide the sinking fund for their
redemption at maturity, our city would
be placed in the hands of the courts
to be run for the benefit Of our credi-
tors. In fact, it is only through this
channel that bankruptcy can come.
In looking into the bonded indebted
ness we find that our city administra-
tons have been criminally neglect
full. The official statement of the
bonded Indebtedness, begins with the
year 1880, when the bonds of 1875
were refunded; from this date to Ju-
ly 1895, we have issued S2,063, 800 in
bonds, so that today it requires ILL.,
1000 to pay interest, and $40, 2S6.20
to provide for the sinking fund for the
redemption Of the bonds at maturity.
An inquiry at the auditors and
treasurer's Office discloses the fact
that no account has been kept of the
sinking fund, and that there is not a
cent in the city treasury today for the
the redemption of these bonds, not
withstanding the fact that the tax
payers have paid every year into the
treasury a sinking fund. No item
