building handsome home on the OPP

is the intention of the church to have
the house placed next to the church.
There is considerable opposition to the
petition, asking permission to move the
house to the lot owned by the church.

OVER CHURCH'S PROTEST.
Council Unanimously Decided to
Pave Park Avenue.

Over a protest, in which the trustees
of Grace Methodist CHURCH expressed
the opinion that the paving of the
street would mean noise that would in
terfere with services, and that would
probably cause them to change the To-
cation of their church, the ordinance
providing for the paving of Park ave-
nue. with Vitritied brick, was read a
second time and passed by a unani-
nous vote of Council last night.
The property owners who signed the
petition set forth that they had been
called upon to pay money recently for
making connections with the house
drainage system and that in some
cases the petitioners had to pay for
the paving of other streets. The par
agraph from the church trustees stated
that jefferson street is already paved
and that the noise by traffic on sun
days is Objectionable enough as mat
ters now stand. With a vitrif1ed brick
pavement in front of the church, and
the Belgian block paving on the side,
it was commended that the noise would
make it all but impossible to conduct
services.

Employed There.

For systematically robbing Rourke's
foundry, where three of them were en-
ployed, George Dunbar, Wickham Bry-
an, William Reilly and John Bolton, all
colored, are prisoners at the police sta
ton. They were arrested by Detec-
tives Stark and Bostck.
1t is alleged by the officers that Boil
ton did the actual stealing, but that
he was assisted by Dunbar, Bryan and
Reilly, who were employed in the foun-
dry. The detectives say that these
three men put the brass and other
metal where Bolton could get at it
without any trouble.
The officers charge that the stealing
has been going on for quite awhile,
and say that for this reason it is i'm
possible to tell how much stuff has
been stolen from the foundry. The
prisoners will be given a preliminary
examination before Recorder Myrick in
Police Court this morning.

Out Before Council.

After large number of witnesses for
both sides had been heard, the City
Council reported adversely last night on
the applications of K. r. Horton and
K. l.. Stevens to retail liquor. The
fight against Horton was made by

from the church. Rev. jackson, the
pastor, and others, appeared before
Council to oppose the application, while
Horton appeared with several of his
friends to urge the granting of the Ii
cense. Stevens desired to open his bar
on Wayne and jefferson streets, but
the opposition to him was equally as
strong. Several applications to retail
liquor at this address have been turned
down by Council.

XIOO.NO Per RnffIe

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for a single bottle of medicine, and vet
if you consider the matter rightly. it
is a very cheap price for a bottle of
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses it half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
500 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for 5o
cents a bottle.
Don't buy it from substitutors. Your
health and happiness is your business
and making money out of you is their
business.
Buy the honest Johnson's Tonic. Take
no counterfeit or substitute. -ad.
