Couucii RuctIon.

At the meeting of the council one
week ago, Mayor Coffiand announced
that Heretofore he had appointed p. s.
Curtis policeman for the ensuing year.
A portion of the council were evidently
not pleased with the selection, for at
last nights meeting an ordinance was
passed, under suspension of rules, Great
ing the office of city marshal and also
reducing the salary of the policeman to
f3 per month. The mayor, believing
said proposed ordinance illegal, stated
that he would exercise his veto power
Should the measure not be killed, il
will undoubtedly lead to litigation, 49,

same time unnecessarily increase taxes,

strife among the city fathers

spoke tenderly of her ideal, mothsrly life
and at the close of the service the East
ern Star ladies formed procession, and
her body was lovingly laid to rest in our
beautiful cemetery. She was worthy
matron of the local chapter of the East

glad life will be much missed in this
community. Our sympathy is with the
friends who are thus suddenly bereaved
She lives with God.
The funeral services of Kate Wise, last

The Reason Why.

Drummond, Wis, Aug. 21.-(Spe-
cial.)-Whole families in Bayfield, coun-
ty are singing the praises of Dodd's
kidney Pills and the reason why is
given in experiences such as that Of
Mr.. [. T. Void, a well-known citizen
here.
Il had such pains in my back that
did not know what to do" says Mr..
Void, "and as came across an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills, sent
for box. That one box relieved me
OF all my pains My wife also used
them and found them just what she
needed. l recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills as sure cure for Backache and
other Kidney Troubles"
Backache is one of the earliest symp-
toms Of Kidney Disease. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills cure it promptly and perma-
nently and prevent it developing into
Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes or
BrightS Disease.
