CITY COUNCIL
PROCEEDINGS
Bunch Of Ordinances Passed,
Others Ordered Drafted.

At the meeting of the city council Sat-
urday evening the committee on streets
and public property submitted, with its
approval, several recommendations
made by the street commissioner; that
a sidewalk be built on Sumpter street,
relative to repairs of water mains on
graveled streets, and the fixing of the
city limits.
1t was announced that the road and
poll tax fund had been overdrawn; that
this tax is being paid very slowly. The
matter was referred to the committee
on streets and public property and the
city attorney.
At the request of W. II. Hawley and
the Hobson Mercantile Company, per-
nit was granted to erect rack for
hitching horses, on Center street, north
of Granite.
The city attorney was again requested
to submit an ordinance defining the
specifications decided on for sidewalks,
and requiring that these details be COM
piled with. That official was also in
structed to draft an ordinance requiring
contractors on city work to give bonds.
Five ordinances were passed and ap-
proved; including chickenpox in the list
of contagious diseases, regulating and
licensing pawnbrokers, junk and second
hand goods dealers, regulating the plac-
ing of signs, awning, gates, porches, etc,
prohibiting the riding of bicycles on
sidewalks, and repeating certain ordi-
naTces.
The city officers were given until
Thursday to hand in their monthly re-
ports to the finance committee. Regular
bills were allowed and warrants or
dered drawn.

old forget he is old, and so universal is
this inclination that the gravest and
stadiest and stateliest and haughtiest OF
men are justified ip going to the circus.
BY the way, Mr.. Sells, who is himself a
tiger tanner, says there is a great deal
more honor and respectability about II
royal Bengal tiger than there is about a
lion, the king of beasts. He says you
may tame Il lion, get on friendly terms
with him, and then some morning with
out the slightest provocation he will
turn and rend you; but II one ever gets
the confidence of tiger, n real royal
tiger, when he agrees to be friendly with
you, he will keep his word for life. A
circus is great animal study. II IL n
good study for the artist, too. The way
the muscles are'put on tiger or II lion
is study. They mean the concentration
of power in the smallest possible space
where they will do the most good. The
man who does not like circus is one
who is going into his shell.

The Circus At Baker City.

The Sells 4 Gray circus will be in
Baker City next Monday, the 18th. A
great many will be scOrnfully saying
that it is the same old show it has been
for fifty years, but every one OF those
will be seen early at the tent, for the
fascination of Il circus that begins in
early childhood clings to poor mortality
SO long as il has eyes to see and ears to
hear. 1t il a good thing, too. II dis
tracts mans attention from the cares of
the world. The older man gets the
more pleasure he gets in seeing the
young enjoy the pleasures of circus,
no matter II it il the same wonderful
girl in the same wonderful tinsel that
turns the same somersaults through the
same hoop upon the square back Of the
same saddle that il on the same gray
horse. There Is new flavor to the old
jokes on the part Of the clown. There
is an oder OF sawdust which makes the

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.

"Something New Under tbe Sun. >
All Doctors have tried to cure Ca
tarrh by the use of powders, acid gases
inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the 1nucuous
membranes causing them to crack
open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the inhalers have entirely eat
Ell away the same membranes that
their makers have aimed to cure,
while pastes and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and expe-
rienced practitioner who has for many
years made close study and special
ty Of the treatment of Catarrh, has at
last perfected a Treatment which when
faithfully used, not only relieves at
once, but permanently cures Catarrh,
by removing the cause, stopping the
discharge, and curing all infamma-
ton. 1t is the only remedy known to
science that actually reaches the af-
hicted parts This wonderful remedy
is known as "Snuffles the Guaranteed
Catarrh Cure" and is sold at the ex-
tremely low price of Que Dollar each
package containing internal and ex-
ternal medicine sufficient for full
n nth's treatment and everything
necessary to it's perfect use.
''Snuffles" is the only perfect Ca
tarrh Cure ever made and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoy ing and disgusting
disease. 1t cures all inflammation
quickly and permanently and is also
wonderfully quick to relieve Hay Fe- J
yer or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads
to Consumption 'Snufaes will save
you if you use it at once. 1t is no or
binary remedy, but complete treat
ment which is positively guaranteed
to cure Catarrh in any form or stage
if used according to the directions
which accompany each package. Don t
delay but send for it at once, and write
full particulars as to your condition,
and you will receive special advice
from the discoverer of this wonderful I
r -medy regarding your case without
cost to you beyond the regular price
