ple's church i'm Baltimore, which meets
in the Lyceum theater, is making an
suspicious beginning, and the audi
ences are reported to be large. The
church is organized to reach the float
ing classes of people who would be
more likely to be reached by a theater

instead "BOnd of Union," which is as
follows: eve believe in the Father

During the civil war, as we'll as in our
late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one Of
the most troublesome diseases the army
had to contend with. In many instances
it became chronic and the old soldiers
still suffer from it. Mr.. David Taylor, of
Wind Ridge, Greene Co., Pa, is one Of
these. He uses Cham berlain's Collie,

he never found anything that would give
him such quick relief. 1t is for sale by

Awful anxiety was felt for the
widow of the brave Gen. Burnham, OF
Machias, Me, when the doctors said
she could not live till morning, -
writes Mrs. S. II. Lincoln, who at
tended her that fearful night. "All
thought she must soon die from pneu-
monia, but she begged for DR.. King S
New Discovery, saying it had more
than once saved her life and had cured
her of consumption. After three
small doses she slept easily all night,
and its further use completely cured
her." This marvellous medicine is

City Council Acting Favorably on the
Measure, the Company Sets a Gang of
Men at Work on Its Property Bright
and Early Today-Other Aldermanic Ac-
ton.
Favorable action having been taken
by the city council on the company s
ordinance last night the Burlington
| bright and early today had force of
men at work on it's Twentieth street
property eXcavating for the new depot
it proposes building there. Collins
Bros, as hitherto stated, have been
awarded the building contract and
the work will he pushed rapidly
forward, in the hope that the struc-
ture may be gotten under roof before
the winter sets in. Should the wealth
err continue fair we'll into the season
there is possibility that the depot
could be completed the present year.
| but the company officials are rather
inclined to think they cannot finish
the structure before spring.
There was little opposition to the
Burlington ordinance at the meeting
of the council. John Looney. in be-
half of propertyholders on Twenty
| urSl street from OecOnu 10 L mira
avenues, addressed the aldermen, and
said they could not justly vote away
the street, and that legally they had
no right to do So and he advised that
they go slow in the matter. E.
| ID. Sweeney spoke in support of the
ordinance and went on to show that
the great majority of the people were
willing that the company have the
thoroughfare, because it would not be
of any use as public highway, any
way, after the company began using
its depot grounds.
The passage of the ordinance was
moved by Aid. Concannon, and with
an amendment by Aid. Gall that the
company be required to open a So
foot alley from Twentieth to Twenty
second streets, which was accepted by
the company, the ordinance went
through, vacating the north $50 feet

81, $50. Mrs Blake was injured on a
defective walk. On trial of the case
