How to Prevent Group.

It will be good newa to the mothers Of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup Is hoarseness. A day or two before the at. tack the child becomes hoarse. This Is soon followed by peculiar rough cough Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and 1t will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy Is used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be depended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take.

City Council.

At . special meeting of the Council, held on the Sth day of December. 1908, tho following members were pressnt: Mayor Walter German. Recorder c. W. Pearson. Aldermen J. E. Stone, Jas. Russell, J. D. Baugh aud ]. M. Nichols. The Mayor read the ordinance passed by the council on tho 4th day Of May. 1900. prohibiting tho construction oe any buiIding, or addition to any building, in Blocks IS, 10, 9l and as. out of any mate- rial other than that of Ibrlck and mortar" or .'slone and mortas." and stated that the ordinance was practically GUS. pended and rendered ineffective by mem- bars of the council yielding to the requests of property owners that they be allowed to use other material than that prescribed by | the ordinance.
 Attention was called to the fact that O. B. Rollwage had recently constructed . plain wooden addition, about twenty feet In length, to blacksmith shop in Block IS, and that T. c. Folbre Is now building an addition to his storehouse in Block i6. using wood and iron.
 The Mayor suggested that tho ordinance should either be enforced asainst al, or should be repealed, 60 that all property owners would be upon an equal footing. l After . full dlscussion of tho subject, the following motion was offered by Al. derman Fusssll. seconded by Alderman Baugh, to-wit:
 "That T. c. Folbre be permitted to com. plete the building begun by him in Block Id. provided all aides and root thereof orc covered with Iron shesting; that the wood CD building recently built by o. B Roll. wage tn Block Is, be allowed to remain, provided all sides and root thereof bs GOV. cred with iron sheetIng. within thirty day, from this date, otherwise to bs removed by the Aarshal; and that hereafter the or. dinancs providing for .sbrick and mortarn or s.stone and mortarn be strictly enforced by the Mayor and Narshal, ignoring tho right of anyone to permit deviation from its termsn
 Which motion was unanimously carried. and there being no further business ths council adjourned.
