The old administration went out and
the new one came in without fuss or
unnecessary ceremony. 1t was straight
business all the way through. The Old
council met in the morning and again
in the afternoon to finish up the bust
ness of the fiscal year. 1t met for the
last time at 7:45 o'clock in the evening
to welcome the new council. At that
meeting City Clerk O'Leary read let

membrance of her gift of the library
The manufacturers regretted that it
would not be ready before May 8. On
motion of Alderman Fitzpatrick, the
council adjourned sine die.

together and introduced his successor.

In submitting this report to you
gentlemen, l take the liberty of calling
your attention to the present unsatis-
factory method of attending to the
sanitary affairs of the city and offer

Improvement:
During the past three years, owing
to the limited number of men allowed
me, l have been compelled to detail
one man to attend to the sanitary af
fairs in the city. thereby reducing the

that an increase in the force be made

lieve that such an arrangement. while

In conclusion, I desire to take ad

That my own duties and that of the

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the syotcm. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effcctually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance. and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating thom, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

Decided Against General Miles.

Washington, May 1.-The Wade court
Of inquiry, in its report now in the
hands of President Mckinley, finds the
charges Of "embalming" the fresh beef
to have been unsubstantiated by the
testimony, and says no chemicals were
used to preserve 1t. It also finds that it
would have been impracticable to Sc
cure beef on the hoof for the Cuban
campaign. The finding is likewise in
opposition to the assertion on the part
Of General Miles that the use Of tho
beef was an experiment.
