George A. Custer Post No. 1, Grand Army of the republic, George H. Thomas Camp No. 1, Sons of veterans, and the Ladies' Aid society of the sons of veterans last night held joint public installation of officers in Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers hall in Nineteenth street.

NO MEETING LAST NIGHT.
The Police Commission Waiting on the Gov
 ern0r.

There was no meeting of the police com mission last night. It was said among the members early in the afternoon that there would not be on account of Gov. Johnston not having made any appointments to fill the vacancies.
 The public at large is now more at sea than ever as to who one of the appointees will be. There is little doubt as to former Alderman McCartins appointment, owing to the fact that he resigned as a member of the council. As to who the other man will be very few people now venture an opinion.

POROUS RLASTERS

Why are Allcock's the best plasters?
Because they make the cures where all
others fail. Why do they make the cures?
Because they contain the right materials.
Compare their fine aromatic odor with
the nasty smell of all other plasters.
Your sense of smell will tell you which
is the best. Did you know that Allcock's
have a greater sale than all the other kinds
put together? Did you know that all
makes and brands of so-called porous
plasters are in imitation of Allcock's!
But they initiate in appearance only.
Don't waste your money in buying the
false. Get ALLCOCK'S, the standard
plaster of the world.
