SEWER SYSTEM
PLANS ADOPTED.
City Council Will Push Mat
ters Through AS Quickly
As Possible.

At the meeting of the city conncil
Thursday night plans, specifcati ons
and estimate prepared by City
Engineer Fenner for sewer system
were adopted. and the city attorney
instructed to prepare an ordinance
for the next meeting for calling an
election to authorize the issuance
of bonds covering its cost. The
estimated cost, according to the en-
gineer's report is $4,000. 1t is the
intention to push the matter through
as rapidly as possible.
Formal charges were preferred
against Marshal Rand by the police
and health committee for his failing
to comply with the ordinance relative
to collecting fines, and his removal
asked. No dishonesty was charged.
Owing to the fact, however, that Mr..
Rand has been granted months
leave of absence to go to Chicago,
the committee withdrew the charge
until his return, and no action was
taken. W. II. Mather was appointd
marshal during his absence.
Ordinances were passed establish
ing grades on Granite street from
Mill to Columbia. and on Columbia
from North Street to Lot 20 in
Block IL.
The report of the Streets and
Public Property committee favoring
the opening of Cracker, Auburn and
Austin streets across the railroad
track To Central addition, was
accepted and the city attorney in.
structed to prepare ordinance cover
ing the ground.
The contract for the city printing
for the ensuing year was awarded to
The Miner.
The city attorney and city recorder
asked that their salaries be riased
and the matter was referred to the
finance committee.

Paine'SC
Compound
CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid of this poisonous acid which produces the
irritations, pains, agonies, inhammations, and
swellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. 1t is the only
medicine that prevents return of the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared of all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with Indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use of Paine's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr.. S. D. Conway,
St. Louis, Mo-, was permanently cured by
Paine's Celery Compound, after repeated fail
ures with other medicines and physicians; he
says:-
81 am "a years of age, and have lived in
St. Louis Fl years, and all this time with the
exception of three years, have served in the
Engineers Department as Inspector. Last
