Trustee Dolan said the statement
made by him was to the effect that %
cents had been deducted from each ami
every light, so that instead of the city
paying S615 per light for the 27O
lights, it paid only $3.50.
Mayor Land said he believed the bill
was correct, and ought to be paid He
bad conferred with the attorney for the
electric company, Mr.. Hatfield, and
they had compromised by deducting the
cost Of eighteen lights for the month.
He had figured on the matter closely
and believed 1t was a just bill He
said the electric company had been kind
to the city and had not attempted to
charge for new lights put in. He be-
lleyed that the compromise agreed upon
was correct one and that the bill
ought to be paid
Trustee Brown renewed the motion
10 reconsider the vote by which the bill
was allowed, and it was zeconded by
Devine
Trustee Tibbets opposed the motion
and said that the electric company
paid taxes here and ought to be pro-
tected. He thought the bill as report
ed by the Mayor was a correct one and
was satisfactory to him.
Trustee Bentley said the corporation
admitted that it had not, in the month
of October, fulfilled its contract with
the city, and that all he desired to do
was to ascertain whether the reduc-
ton was sufficient. He was unable to
figure on the Chief of Police's report in
ten minutes and only wanted time to
properly examine it. He said the cost
for lighting the public buildings had
been doubled within the past year, and
he desired to ascertain why it was SO.
He had at previous meetings called at
tention to the increased cost, but had
been ignored by the board.
Mayor Land explained that instead
of sixteen-can power incandescant
lamps used a year ago thirty-two can
die power lights are now used, which
doubles the cost of lighting
The motion to reconsider the vote
whereby the bill was ordered paid was
lost by a vote of 4 to 4, President Me-
Kay declining to vote, and the bill will

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

TIE EXCELL LENcE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity OF the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup Of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

Took an Unfair Advantage.

Down in Clarion county, Pa, there
used to live a man named Major
Green. who had a half brother
named John Green. Each spent the
greater part of his life in thinking
up Jokes to play off on the other,
and when John Green died the score
was thought to be about even.
A plain stone was erected over
Johns grave by his family, and sn
1t beneath his name an(tthe dates OF
his birth and death was carved this
simple inscription:
He lived a blameless life"
But after it had remained that
way for week or two somebody
added, Until the year before he
died, when he learned to play the
accordion. "
Major Green passed to the great
beyond few months later, and il IL
generally thought by people whd
knew them that he had the last
laugh on John when they met ON
the other side.-Cieveland Leader.

mined to avenge the murder OF
Mr.. Boaz Ethridge by the negroes
Yesterday, the killing of whom
precipitated the rio,ins, which has
so far resulted in eight deaths,
with a possibility of several more.
The situation is most acute; as
the negroes are SAID to be arming
and preparing to give battle, in
which eve"t great loss OF life will
follow.
Last night, two of the negroes
implicated in the killing of Mr..
Ethridge were captured and in-
nediately executed by the thor
oughly enraged white men.
This morning four others were
captured. and, after establishing,
beyond doubt that they were also
implicated in the killing of MIR.
Ethridge, they were taken inside
the town, hanged to convenient
limbs, and their bodies riddled
with bullets.
The lynchers made no effort at

ties at hand which would enable ro

were holders of real estate to a given
amount were entitled to vote, and
did very generally exercise the right
of franchise.
In colonial days the states of the
south generally made the ownership
of property requisite to the exer-
else of the right of franchise, while
the New England colonies generally
made church membership a ncccs-
sary qualification CT the voter. Fol.
lowing the idcS that only property
holders should vGte. it Was Il natural
step to conclude that all property
holders should vote. Maryland,
therefore, decided that where the
ownership of property was vested IN
a woman who had not husband to
represent her she should be a voter.

grandmother tell of voting during

the candidates for office sat in the
election room, and each voter vs.
expected to look them over and Sc

sired to vote. and the clerks made a
record of the decision. Candidates
for state Offices wero expected to

forties the spirit of progress required
a sweeping away of the barriers
which the property qualification had
set up, and constitutional conven-
ton decided in favor of giving the
ballot to every white male voter
who had reached the age of 2l years.
AS the right of woman to vote was
based ON the idea of property quail
