Geo. W. Jenkins, editor of the Santa Maria Times. California, in speaking of the various ailments of children said: "When my children have croup there is ou.y one patent medicine that l ever use, and that is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It possesses some medical properties that relieve the little sufferers immediately. It is. in my opinion, the best cough medicine in the market" If this remedy is freely given as soon as the croupy cough appears it will prevent the at tack. It is also an ideal remedy for whooping cough. There is no danger in giving it to children, as it contains nothing injurious. For sale by H. 0. Hitchcock, druggist.

An Important Improvement.

The old Dominion Copper Mining and Smelling Company has decided upou un important improvement to be made at the smelter. A new Nord- berg Corliss engine, 22x30, has been ordered. It will run two No. ' blowers to supply the blast to the two large rectangular furnaces, for which purpose the present plant is inade- quate. The new engine will not only do the work of the three small engines and steam pump now in use, hut will also supply power 10 run drill press and special tools which have not beeu heretofore used.
 Provision will also he made ahead for an electric light plant, of 125 Is. candle power, incand.scent lights, for lighting all the surface works at the smelter and mine. This electric plapt may not be put in for some time yet, awaiting tue decision of tue Boston of1ice
 The plans and specifications pre-. pared by Superintendent s. A. Par. nall provide for the enlargement of the engine room to dimensions of 46lx37 feet. and for other desirable changes The rev engine will effect matcria saving of fuel-a reduction of about 4( per cent from the present consump tion. Preparations will be made fol putting in the new plant immediately upou the arrival of the engine.

Two men are now under arrest for the safe cracking -(Florence TTibuue.) The Tempe News of the 9th reports that the two men were captured by 2 posse in haystack % miles south of Casa Grande.

Both are strangers. They were lodged in the Florence jail.

\ natural result OF this unwarrantod.
uncaued for and entirely reprehensible
delay on the part of Council was the in
creased taxation of 1898. which took be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 from the pockets OF
the people, over and above what they had
been taxed by the alleged maladministra-
ton Of 1851. No one familiar with the
affairs OF the city i'm 1894 and the opening
months of 1895 doubts that had the new
Council taken hold of the financial adj
ministration in earnest Immediately after
its organization, called it's Finance Com
mittee together to study the state of af-
fairs during the months Of February and
March. and made mp and passed an APP
preparation ordinance early i'm April that
the city government could have been
pulled through with close economy and
little stretching of the cloth here and
there. perhaps and the Increased taxation
saved TO the people. But with tine city
government being run upon the scale of
1894 for fun seven months of 1885. while
Council shuGled and diily-dallied and de-
layed, it was impossible. by July, to in
sttute such economies as would meet the
situation. and the G4c. levy was the result.
How the taxpayers were compelled to pay
for this bogus reform is shown 10y these
figures -
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1897-01-26

estimates until May. June or July. The
city ordinance requires these estimates to
be made in April or as soon thereafter as
possible. and that Council fully under
stood the necessity OF promptness in this
regard there can be no doubt, for in the
body were many experienced men. and the
chairman of the Finance Committee was
an old and experienced public official
and a business man whose standing in the
community is second 10 none. Did The
reform Council take prompt hold of
situation which ii was admitted required
prompt action? 1t did not. on the con-
trary. the avowed policy from the start
appeared to be to allow the making up of
the annual budget Tor 1885 TO oraS along
to the last possible minute. and then some.
ana although the administration came into
power pledged TO rectify AT once the hnan-
c.al policy of 1891. If It was pledged 10
anything. it deliberately set to work to
run the affairs of the city for 1895 upon
the basis OF the estimates for 1894. and il
did it for fun seven months. The cT-
peusos Of the first three months OF 1856
were betrayed by an ordinance apprO-
priating one-fourth of the money appro-
prated TO the several departments during
1894, this ordinance being passed by the
expiring old Council. in accordance with
custom. When that ordinance ran out.
on the S1st day of March 1895, the reform
Council promptly passed another ordin-
ance for April, appropriatiug one-twel1Jh
Of the appropriations for 1891 and il re-
peated it Tor the months of May, June
and July, and it was NOT until the first
day of August, 1895, six months after the
reform Council had been elected and had
entered upon the discharge OF its duties,
pledged and promising to institute fnan-
cial reforms. that the appropriations for
1895 became available! This is the exact
truth of local history, and cannot be
either palliated or denied.

unknown but large aggregate were car
