other Iowa towns Mr. Kreutzer
thought there was "a little bit of bluff
in the report as it threatened to do
things the city was not financially pre-
pared to do. As to the proposition of a
citizen to loan the necessary money
with which to build a plant. he said
that would be jumping from the hands
of one squeezer into those of another
DR.. Harris said if the city could get
fair rates from the present company
the matter need go no further. but if
not he favored installing a municipal
plant. The discussion became general,
and when Mr.. Fishers amendment was
voted on it was lost BY a tie-4 to 4,
The committees report was then
adopted.
MIR. HILL AND HIS BILL
Another bill from John W. HILL the
Cincinnati water expert calling for a
few less dollars than $1,000, was pre-
sented by Mr.. MCGUIRE, who said that
for one he would favor standing a law
suit rather than pay it. MIR. Benson
said the water committee had offered
Mr.. Hill 5000 in full. but this offer had
been rejected. The council voted unan-
imously to reject the bill, and MIR. Hill
Will be obliged To go To the courts to
collect it or will have to come to the
city's terms. Among the expense ac-
count submitted by Hill is one item
for fare in a parlor car.

a New Cure for Catarrh In Tablet


The old time treatment for catarrh
was in the form Of douches or sprays;

With greater success, but being in liquid
or powdered form were inconvenient
and were open to the same objection to
all liquid remedies, that Is, that they

to administer indications. but until re-
Gently no successful catarrh tablet had
ever been attempted.
AT this writing, however, a most eX-
cellent and palatable remedy for ca
tarrh has been placed before the public
and sold by druggists, called Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, composed of the most
recent discoveries in medicines for the
cure of catarrh, and results from their
use have been highly gratifying

view of securing its acceptance of the

no amendments tackled on the report,
neither did Mr.. Finkle. They took the
position that the time had come when
it was necessary to dictate to the COM

as It was, but said there was some
question as to the citys power to en-
force the rates therein under the COM
pany's charter. The comparisons of
rates had been made largely with cities
