MUCH MUNICIPAL BUSINESS
Matters of Importance to Come Before
the Cou-cil Today
The Mayor viii Send In rIessage Vetoing
the Ordinance Abolishing the Boiler
Inspector

The city council will meet this morn
Ing a 10 o'clock in reg ular session for the
transaction Of business. 1t is under
stood that the mayor will send in
message vetoing the ordinance abolish
ing the office of boiler inspector and
board of engineers. 1t is also under
stood that the incun1be Mr.. Waters,
to secure whose removal 1t is alleged the
ordinance was passed, has signified his
willingness to resign. This will sim
plify the situation, and there is hardly
likelihood of any attempt being made
to pass the ordinance over the veto.
1t is also expected that the committee
will present it's final report on the Main
street pavement. Owing to the heavy
rains of last week, it is possible that the
city engineer could not check up the
street as to line and grade, as directed.
and If this is the case, action will again
have to be postponed.
AS this is the last meeting in the
month but one, and under the charter
water rates must be fixed during Feb
ruary, some action may be taken. but
owing to the Importance of the matter,
1t may be deferred until special ses-
sion later in the week.
1t is hardly likely that anything will
be done in the matter Of the retrench-
ment committees work. It Is possible
that report has been prepared, but If
it has, 1t has been kept more of a secret
than any similar matter of equal i'm
portance that ever took place about the
city hall.
1t is among the possibilities that some
action may be taken in the matter Of
furnishing work for the unemployed,
though so far as known, no formal rec
ommendation has been made by any Of
the committees.
Altogether, the session promises to
be very busy one. and Of more than
usual public interest.

IsI.ife Worth LiviupP

If there is an individual on earth who 1.
excusable for thus interrogating himself, Il
is the unhappy mortal who suffers from
malaria in some one of its diabolical forms
This is no difficult conundrum. however
Life is worth living by any man or wo
man who enjoys good health and is moi
harrased by reproachful conscience. The
malarial scourge, heavily laid on, is a ter.
rible one for the poor sufferer to endure
A series of freezings, scorchings and
sweats-the last leaving one as limp and
strengthless as dish rag, are hard in
deed, recurring as they do with f1endish
regularity. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
the worldwide known preventive and
curative of this class of maladies, either in
the form of ague and fever. bilious re.
mittent, dumb ague and ague cake. Used
with persistence they will, rely upon 1t,
eradicate disease from the system. They
also conquer rheumatism, kidney and
bladder complaints. nervousness. dyspep-
sa, liver complaint and constipation and

cessively. the last one used being placed
behind a cardboard about 16x18 inches,
which acted as a screen.
Before the exhibition the doctor read
a portion of a paper upon the subject,
which he prefaced by few general re-
marks. The essay gave a very brief
sketch of the history of electricity, as
far as 1t had bearing upon the Roent-

As the screen was too small to allow
the shadows to be seen more than five

party consisted of twelve gentlemen
who sat down at 2 p. m. to table ex
quisitely decorated in the national col
ors, of red carnations, white narcissus
and blue violets. The flowers were
strewn carelessiy over the table in pic
turesque confusion, forming a pretty
groundwork for the cleaning silver and
cut-glass. A beautiful center piece of
the same theme of red, white and blue
adorned the board.
The place cards were unique and orig
inal, being figures in water colors, with
the heads Of cats. Each figure was
dressed in different style, and suggested
some characteristic Of the guest. For
instance on the card of Bishop Johnson
the figure was dressed in a business
suit and carried hand bag. Upon the
bag was traced J. H. Johnson, Land of
Promise, London, England. The bishop
shortly leaves for this point.
On Lieut. brakes card the figure was
in naval costume at the wheel Of a YES

made a graceful and gracious address of
welcome. Mr.. Jackson read an original
poem dedicated to Bishop Johnson. Maj
Ben Truman sang one of the famous
baritone solos, that he sings when es-
pecially inspired, and Capt. ] B. Lanker-

only encouraged worse robberies,
