WILL FIGHT THE RAILROAD.

The city council met in regular ses-
sion at the city hall Monday evening
and the meeting was taken up in trans
acting unimportant business. The
electric lights failed to respond to the
touch of the key and the council were
forced to meet with no light but num-
Der of smoking lamps.
After the minutes of several preced-
ing meetings had been read the COM
mittee on rules made report and the
rules were adopted. Several petitions
were presented and sent to the commit
tees interested in that portion of the
city government.
The people Of Prairie avenue pre-
sented a petition asking that the street
be sprinkled. The petition was re-
ferred to the committee on streets.
alleys and bridges. John BAN sent in
bill to the city for damages received
from falling on a defective sidewalk.
He asked for $500 and his bill will be
duly considered by the committee on
claims.
A petition signed by hundred citi-
zens was presented asking for the city
to grant some financial aid tor Mrs.
Bridget Kearney, who was seriously
injured by falling on defective walk.
The petition was referred to the COM
mittee on claims.
The standing committees made their
usual reports.
The paving Of Grand avenue was
again delayed and the committee given
more time.
The old question of claims of the
Good Shepherd Industrial school of
Milwaukee came up, but as in former
times it was consigned to a lingering
death in the hands of the committee
on claims.
The street sweeper was purchased
from Chris. Brunz for $340 and munic-
ipal street sweeping is the next move.
The most important action of the
council was the stand taken against
the electric railroad, and If the council
continue their fight against the rail
road it may be some time until the
road is laid. The mayor offered a
resolution ordering the clerk to notify
Mr.. Comstock that immediate steps
would be taken to prevent him from
laying any portion of his tracks under
the present franchise. Aldermen Cor
man, Berens and FRANKIE voting in the
negative.
The official proceedings of the coun-
Gil were ordered published in the I'm
ion, Volksfreund and the Labor Her
aid at the same compensation as the
official paper.
After council adjourned meeting OF
the board of health was held at which
DR.. Cleary was elected health officer
for the coming year.

Rubber Band For He.aaeA..

Departmental headaches are dis tinct malady," remarked . we'll known physician to a reporter, land 1t is some what of surprise how many sufferers there are among department clerks from this trouble. The thing seems to grow among them, and they have their headaches as regularly as they have their work.
 A simple remedy which is worth try ing is to put rubber band around the head just above the ears The band should not be tight enough to stop the circulation of the blood. The band known as the string band is generally sufficiently heavy for the purpose. It should be applied just as soon as it is noticed that the headache is setting in and taken off the moment the pain ceases. In many cases the rubber band works nicely, though it affords no re- lief when the headache is the result of stomach troubles or biltouanees.
 'I find also that 8 rubber band twist cd about toe between the corn and the foot is handy remedy to stop the pain from jumping corn. Oorns are very liable to be troublesome when there is much humidity in the atmosphere. The rubber band seems to temporarily quiet the nerves in the toe, and in this way stop the pain. As in the case of band around the head, the pressure should not be tight enough to stop the circulation of the blood. ."-Washington Star.
