OFFICERS May HOLD OVER.
Report That raw'ucket's City Council viii Rs8k No
Joint Convention This Month.

There was considerable agitation
among the politicians OF Pawtucket last
night when the story was passed about
that there would probably not be any
joint convention of the city council this
month for the election Of the city ofii-
GERS for the ensuing year, and I'm that
event the present incumbents will hold
over for another year.
This was done several years ago, and
the reason given for several interested
persons wishing IL this year Is because
they fear their men will be defeated AS
the vote is shown by canvassing TO be
very close.
that they will be partners Co any
scheme to prevent the holding OF
joint convention, for there are men in
Office that the Democracy would like TO
get out, and II there IS a plot to pre-
vent the election the Democrats say
that the Republicans. who have a ma
jority I'm both branches will have 10
father u.
The rumor has excited considerable
comment, and while some who hear the
statement profess TO believe that such
action win not be taken, as IL savors of
revolutionary methods, still there are
others who meet this remark with the
statement that Il has been done.
The law requires that the officers
shall be elected i'm February and ~
they are not elected this month then
the present incumbents would hold
their positions another year.

And can it be cured?
Grip is characterized by a continued
fever, by a tendency to Inflammation Of
the membranes of the digestive and often
the respiratory tracts. by pain in the mus
Cles, and by debility.
The grip in individual cases varies from
a slight indisposition to severe forms with
grave symptoms; these variations depend
ing wholly upon the heath, age. tempera-
ment or nervous condition OF the person.
Those predisposed TO rheumatism suffer
great pain in the muscles; persons of ner-
vous temperament become low spirited,
often have hysteria and. if not closely
watched. have been known TO commit sui
eide. Several cases OF this sort have been
reported this month in the newspapers.
Headache is a constant symptom. The
bowels are generally constipated. What
ever form the disease takes there is in
variably extreme prostration. The danger
to persons in previous healthful condition
is slight.

is one certain preventive OF serious cases

persons suffering with it, or beginning 70
