The petition filed by Judge Buckler
AYERS that on the 9th of January the
CITY entered into contract with the
Ell Paso Gas, Electric Light & Power
company, by which the latter was to
| furnish arc lights to the city for light
ing the streets at 1925 per month cash,
or its equivalent in city warrants, the
city to designate the number and loca-
tion of the lights. It also declares that
at the time the contract was entered
into the company had been lighting
the streets under previous contracts
for q mum Der of year., and tina at the
time fifty three lights was the numb
required, and that the city has since
adoed one more. The plaintiff de-
clares that it has faithfully lived up to
its part of the contract and says that
when It presented it's bills for Feb
ruary, March and April the city coun-
oil refused to allow them. The petit
ton does not state that the council Of
fered to pay the bills upon the condi-
ton that such action should not be
construed as an acceptance OF the We
toed contract.
The company declares that the city
is indebted to the company for lights
for February to the amount OF $3.50, o..
for March, 490.25, and for April S494.9O

When the citizens committee was
negotiating for a fran ohise for an

the prospect of securing lucrative
contract for lighting the city, and they
felt to bind the city for five years to
the old company would greatly retard
the growth of Ell Paso.
Mayor Magoffin signed the contract
the day after it was passed. although
ne had five days in which to act. A
mass meeting was called by prominent
business and professional men and at
tended by over two hundred leading
citizens. who strongly condemned the
action of the mayor. The result was
that Mayor Msgofn rescinded his &C
ton and vetoed the contract.
For three months Mr.. White con-
tinued to furnish the required lights
A few weeks ago he presented bills for
the lights at SO % each, the price
stipulated under the vetoed con-
tract,
The council agreed to allow the
bills conditional upon Mr.. Whites
agreeing that such action should not
be construed as an implied acceptance
of the contract but simply as volun-
tary reduction in price on the part of
the company; to have paid them other

council was advised, an implied &C

cost in physical suffering and the great
risk of the operation itself.
Although Mr.. Dustin had been afflicted
for a long time with enlargement of the
prostate gland and urethral obstruction. Re
had counted the cost of an operation. He
was compelled to use the catheter every
time to draw his water. and the pain and
inconvenience from his disease had
caused him to consult eight different ply
sicians in the hope of some relief. They
had almost killed him by using large sounds
and bougies to remove the obstruction.
one day an advertisement caught his
eye, 1t was in reference to the famous
Solvent-Alterans system and he determined
to investigate. He found that this system
was not only cheaper. easier and a surer
way to get rid of prostate disorders. but
he found it to be less cruel than the knife,
and almost absolutely certain to cure MIN.
His judgment told him that the Solvent-Al-
terans system was scientific and common
sense He decided to test it and it fully
met his expectations. That was two years
ago. and he is still perfectly and perma-
nently cured.
Full particulars in regard to this marvel

free to all. 1t is a home treatment, a man
loses no time from work. and the plan Is
so certain to cure him that everyone should
know about it. If YOU are afflicted with
prostate trouble. or have a friend thus af-
flicted, you should send for Il copy of this
