Mr.. Seidell concluded his remarks
with a motion that Dayton A. Doyle,
Esq, and Hon. e. w. Stuart be ap-
pointed to defend the city against the
injunction suit.
Mr.. Winum objected to appointing
two attorneys to defend the city
against an action brought to restrain
Council from going ahead with prop
osition it had been advised was lille
gal before legislation was begun to
authorize it.

Winum, 'he advises us to rush head
long into an affair whose result will
be a loss of nearly $500 to the city.
Our Solicitor advised us not to author
ize this bond issue, and now that our
disregard Of his advice has got us into
trouble, ! do not see the ACCESSIBILITY
of allowing the city to be dragged fur

Mr.. Seidell consented to amend his
motion so that the appointment of Hon.
e. w. Stuart alone was recommended.
The recommendation was adopted.
Solicitor Esgate explained to Council
that he could not defend the city mas
much as he had been obliged to become
the prosecutor against it. He said the
only relief he could see in sight was
to go before the Legislature and ask
for special act allowing the city to
sell bonds, and also to increase its tax
levy.

DISGRACE

Upon This City.
Mr.. Seidell Urges Heroic
Action
To Defeat the Injunction
Proceedings.
Some Pointed Remarks
by Mr.. Winum.
seideII Referred to lnstisator Of
Suit as "Narrow.Minded Man."

Councilman Seidell is not pleased
with the injunction restraining this
city from selling, bonds amounting to
S16S, 900 and at Council meeting Mon
day night made a vigorous speech in
which he criticised the procuring of
the order and denounced its instigator
as a "narrow-minded man." The in.
stigator is Attorney H. G. Sanford,
who served notice on Solicitor Esgate
to petition for the restraining order
Mr.. Seidell is also aggravated by
the movement by creditors toward
having receiver appointed for the
city of Akron, and he insinuated con.
siderable criticism of the publicity
their suggestion has been given.
Among other references he made ii
plain that his opinion of the conduct
of Solicitor Esgate is not 1S-karat in
the favor of that official.
"How does it come" he asked, that
our Solicitor is allowed to proceed ii
it is illegal to issue these bonds?"
Here Mr.. Sefden WAS corrected by
Mr.. Winum, who declared that the
Solicitor had announced positively to
Council that hei believed the bond is

NO MAN IS STRONGER
THAN HIS STOMACH.

The stomach Is the vital center Of the
body. 1t is the organ from which all
other organs are fed. A weak stomach
means a weak man. There never was a
strong man with weak stomach. What
is called uweak stomach" is In general
diseased condition of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
which prevents the proper digestion of
the food which is taken into the stom-
ach, and so reduces the nutrition of the
body. When all food is taken away the
body starves. When the food eaten is
only digested and assimilated in part j.
only nourishes the body in part, and so
the body is partly starved. And this
starvation is felt in every organ of the
body dependent ON the blood which is
made from food.
The great variety of the cures per-
formed by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is due to its remarkable
power to heal diseases of the stomach
and allied organs. 1t cures through the
stomach diseases seemingly remote, but
which have their origin in a diseased
condition of the stomach and the other
organs of digestion and nutrition.
rWeak " heart, lungs, kidneys and weak
ness of other organs is cured with the
cure of the weak stomach.

RUMORS ARE FALSE
Says an American Cereal Co.
StOckhoIder.

A prominent stockholder in the
American Cereal Co. says that there
is no truth in the rumor that the
stockholders of that company are op-
posed to the reorganization under the
name of the Quaker Oats Co. says
Finance.
"All these rumors emanate from a
man who does not own one dollar of
stock in the American Cereal Co.,"
he said: Holders of five-sixths of the
entire capital stock have already de,
clared in favor of the plan. Three
years ago when the present manage
ment took hold the stock was selling
at 80 to 90. 1t is now worth $50. O.

SOLICITOR
Cannot Defend the
City.
He Is Plaintiff In Case
Against It.
Secured a Temporary
Injunction
-,
Restraining the Sale Of Bonds
Anountina to Sl62 000
Restraining the Sale Of Bonds
Amounting to $l6S. 600.

Councilmen were somewhat sur
prised Monday night when they learn
ed that City Solicitor Esgate could
give the city no help in it's fight
against the injunction suit to restrain
the sale Of bonds. The Solicitor is
the plaintiff in the case. He filed
the petition Monday afternoon and
Judge Kohler granted the order at
3:15.
The Solicitor was impelled to this
act by Attorney H. G. Sanford, who
served notice directing that suit be
brought. Had the Solicitor not done
this, Mr.. Sanford would have filed a
petition himself, and the fact was
known to Solicitor Esgate. Mr.. San
ford had a petition ready to file in
case Solicitor Esgate refused to act,
as he did in the Kenfeld case.
In his petition Solicitor Esgate states
that the ordinance authorizing the
bond issue was not read on three dis
tinct nights, and his principal claim
is that the city cannot increase it's
Indebtedness when it has no money on
hand.
He also alleges that the ordinance
was passed for the fraudulent and
unlawful purpose of evading, disre-
garding, circumventing and exceeding
in legal effect the limit Of taxation.
The petition is a ponderous affair,
including the claims for money speci-
fed in the ordinance to issue bonds
1t is not likely that the petition will
be heard sooner than Monday, all
though an attempt will be made to
have it heard earlier.

Wisher-feel it to be my duty to
squelch you with a wet blanket; to
quench, if possible, your dramatic ardor
with my sincere advice.
To enter into details and give you all
the why's and .'wherefores'' would be
tedious and of little value. for every en-
thusiast has an offset for each adverse
argument But let me hope that you
will be guided by the simple don't do

rical drudgery dates from early boy
aood-and take in good part his opinion
that you are not naturally adapted to

To be a mere s'bootjack' among the

is a dogs fate, and a NANCY yellow dog
at that. Don't do it-in capitals and the
largest type. Love it. if you will, at
distance across the fiery boundary of

ways be a source of enjoyment for you.
But as a disappointed, crushed TRACE
dian" you would curse It as the cause
of your unhappfness
The theater is overfull of disappointed
pursuit would have achieved some show
of satisfaction, which the subordinate
actor never knows.
Now my boy, divert your mind at once
into a different channel and regard the
theater merely as an occasional relaxa-
ton from practical business strain, and
one of these days you'll thank me for
my interference Sincerely yours,
