THE VOTE CANVASSED.

The Board of Trustees meet last night
as a Board OF Election Commissioners
after it's regular session, and canvassed
the citys vote at the last election.
After the canvass of the vote, which
showed a few changes from the figures
published in the Record Union ON the
morning after election, but nothing af-
fecting the result, the board adopted q
resolution declaring elected and di-
recting that certificates of election be
issued to them the following:

shame. Their remonstrance came III
too late to be of legal force, but all the
same it stopped the work.
Devine said there were people owning
the property where the worst hole IS
who wanted the alley improved.
Paine said he hoped the Superinten-
dent would fix only the hole to let the
hackmen out and that the alley 'front.'
ing on the rich peoples property would
not be fixed.
The Gray property had objected, but
the objection was filed after the time
allowed. Devine had wanted the mat
ter to go over so that it might help him
in his canvass and the board had helped
him out.
Superintendent Touhey said a few
loads would do no good, as 200 feet
would have to be fixed.
The Superintendent was ordered to
put $50 worth of rock in the hole.
Paine, for the Street Committee, said
that he had been handed a list of trees
to be planted in the P-street plaza,
made out by the various nurserymen OF
the city. There was some difference of
opinion as to the best size to plant.
Brown thought Gardner Dalton had
displayed good judgment in selecting
trees and he thought it would he well
to adopt the list, and so moved.
So ordered, and on motion of Devine
the Chairman of the Street Committee
and gardner were instructed to pur-
chase the trees.
Brown said there is no shelter for the
tools and the gardner asked that a
place be rented. The matter was re-
ferred to the Street Committee.
Devine moved that the Street Com
mittee be requested to ascertain the
cost of a. tool house in the plaza. Car
ried.
Plans and specifications were pre-
sented by Paine for a center-piece-or
a rockery-for the plaza, and action was
deferred for week.
The board then adjourned as Board
of Trustees and reconvened as a Board
of Election Commissioners to canvass
the election returns

Diamonds Discovered in Wisconsin.

The report that diamonds have been
found in Wisconsin will draw thousands
to that State. How madly we rush after
riches, and how little we treasure the only
true wealth-Health. All of the diamonds
and money in the world cannot bring hap
piness without health. Because of it's
mad rush for wealth, America has become
a nation of dyspeptics. No other people
abuses its stomachs as we do, and there
fore no other nation is so subject to ner-
vousness, insomnia, indigestion, bilious
ness and torpid liver. Hostetters Stom-
ach Bftters has restored more weak stom-
achs to health than can be counted. It's
results have been phenomenal. To avoid
limitations be sure that private revenue
