none the less positive and, best OF all,
they are lasting. It's an honest medl-
cine-not beverage.

CITY DEFENDANT IN ISIUNcrIOE SUIT
Wm' Brandon Seeks Injunction Restraining Pay.
ment Of Alleged Illegal Salaries

Alderman William Brandon. of the
Fist wsrd, in the capacity of tax payer.
has brought an action for an Injunction
against the city to restrain the payment
of alleged illegal salaries to certain civ
officials. An accounting is also asked
for by which Mr.. Brando. claims he can
have returned to the city reasury GER
tain alleged illegal salaries heretofore
drawn. 10 seems that an ordinance was
passed after the present clerk and other
officials had been nominated and elected
to their respective offices increasing the
salary of two officials and decreasing
that of another, and that, too. in the
face of the statute which says that the
salary shall be fixed at the first meeting
in February and shall not be increased
or diminished daring the term of Office
of the incumbent. City Attorney Smith
at the time gave an opinion in writing
declaring the ordinance so changing the
salaries void, but portion of the city
administration assumed to act upon the
void ordinance as though it were valid
and TO draw salaries accordingly.
The city attorney is a lawyer and
wisdom would dictate that his opinions
be followed.
