Coordination" Will Continue.

The city council, last week, at an
adjourned session in the trial of Paul
Allen. proprietor Of the Combination
saloon. in which they we're attempting to
revoke his license on the charge that he
was conducting a disorderly house. in.
definitely postponed the case. Since
this license was given the police have
been continually harrassed by the reports
from this place Of robberies. hold.ups,
knockout drops for harvesters and
strangers, gambling. etc. with which the
alleged victims have filed the ears of the
police. Both Mr.. Allen and his bar
tender have appeared in police court at
different times. The saloon is run in the
Hieber building. on the corner Of Second
and D streets. 1t was the inability of the
city attorney to specify and prove
charges, together with disagreement
among the councilmen. which is re-
sponsible for the acquittal Of the case.

the roof of the City bakery and fought
with water and salt to con6ne the blaze
within the brick walls Of the Wilson
block. and finally were successful.
The losses are as follows Gust Ia.

That is the statement of a woman who
had never been well until she was made

other women in like case. They have
always been sufferers from disease. They

For all such women Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription holds out the pros
pect of perfect and permanent health, by
the cure of the womanly diseases which
weaken women. II establishes regular
ity, dries weakening drains, heals infam-
nation and liberation, and cures female
weakness. It makes weak women strong
and sick women well.

cines and the advice which you so kindly sents
