CITY MEETING.

Regular Meeting of Msyor and A der
men Held Monday Evening.
At the regular meeting OF the mayor
and aldermen held Monday evening, the
matter OF back taxes was discussed at
some length, and the board concluded
that the only way to get at delinquent
taxpayers WAS through the law made for
that purpose.
John H. Bresnaban, special collector,
has a matter OF 5000 or $1,000 on his
books running back three, four, five and
six years, with several cases going back Of
these years. In the opinion OF the board
this is entirely unnecessary, and it pro-
poses to push matters to climax by
bringing suit.
Collectors Trip and Bresnahan have
both worked faithfully to get these taxes
in, but find 1t nearly impossible. Both
collectors cited several instance5 of per-
sons owing 5000 and saoo in back taxes
coming into their offices and paying IS
and $40 every three or four months. Such
small payments on such large taxes would
scarcely pay the interest.
And while these tax payers are enjoying
their money, the city is borrowing at az
and per cent. In the opinion OF the
board this.is not fair deal, and 1t does
not propose to do 1t any longer.
Relative to the back taxes the following
vote was passed by the mayor and board !:
On motion, voted: That the collectors of
| tg Ses are hereby Instructed and authorized to
| sue all back taxes forthwith Ia aceoraauce wiih
| the order passed last December relative to the
same.
Alderman Mccarthy, Of Ward 8, then
brought the attention of the board to a
bill from B. B. Walker for $44 for repairs
to Ticonic engine,
From the conversation OF various
members OF the board and the chief of
the fire depart ment, it would seem that
the engine had been given a thorough
overhauling preparatory to fancy play
ing, and the bill had been presented to
the city.
Chief Engineer Eaton claimed that the
engine was delicate one, and not made
for fancy playing, and II used as such
should be Kept IN repair by the company
using her.
It was the cause of much discussion,
but the board could not entirely agree
with the chief, and agreed to pay half the
bill i. the Ticonic boys would pay the
other half.
The contract between the city and M. j.
Drummey for the care Of the city poor
was read by the city clerk.
Following are the rolls of accounts as
read and aaaed hu the hoard.

One OF the greatest American millionaites
once SAID to his physician, "A million dol
lars, Doctor, iot a new stomach, and Then
the sick man groaued and turned away,
One of a mans greatest pleasures is that
born of a Keen appetite, vigorous digestion
and a good dinner, and this belongs TO
many a good fellow who is living ON small
wages, but the rich man without a stomach
has 10 forego the good things OF the table
because his stomach rebels. Without a
healthy stomach and Il good digestion, our
blood is thin, watery and poor, our heart
action is weak, our liver does not do ITS
duty, and man is miserable and unhappy.
In this condition man is prey to the germs
of influenza, consumption. malaria and all
the ills that he is heir TO. Consumption
can be treated by natural methods which
are as close to nature as possible.
DR.. X. V. Pierce. chief consulting phySi-
clan of the lnvalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y, years ago I'M
derstood this disease, and after a long pc
Rod of experiment discovered certain roots
and herbs which were natures remedies,
and succeeded in putting them up in a
form that would be easily procured and
ready to use. This he called DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t gives no
false stimulation because it contains no
alcohol and no narcotic. 1t helps diges-
ton and the assimilation of II elements
in the food as are required for the blood.
Instead of a cod liver oil, against which
the already sensitive stomach will declare
open rebellion, this tonic has a pacifying
action upon the sensitive stomach and
gives to the blood the food elements the
tissues require. 1t maintains the patients
nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain,
digest aud assitnilate nutritious food. 1t
overcolnes gastric irritability and symp-
toms of indigestion, and in this way fever,
night sweats, headaches. etc, are done
away with. 1t f~ortities the body against
the germs of consumption, grip and ma
laria, and it builds up the tissues and puts
on healthy flesh.
When the druggist says he has some
thing that is lust as good as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, he says so be-
cause he hopes to make a better profit,
but his own mixtures have not stood the
test of long experience nor had the success
that DR.. Pie1ce's medicines have had.

REV. POWELL RESIGNS
The Episcopal Rector viii Leave
Mitchell to rakeup Residence
Ou1 IN l%'Nlllurnla.

1t was announced through the coli
umns of -The Republican several
weeks ago that Rev. Chas. Powell,
rector Of the Episcopal church, mad
received several calls to churches
elsewhere, three OF them being in
California and one IN this state. At
that time MIR. Powell said be was
undecided whether he would accept
any o. them. Since, however. he has
decided TIC accept the call to Calitor-
MIA and a few days ago rendered his
resignation to Bishop Hare. Tues
day evening Mr.. Powell received a
letter from the bishop accepting his
resignation and he will close his pas
toIate with the church Jan. It's. 1t
is possible that his last service will
out to Chamberlain on the 18th with
Bishop Hare, who is also scheduled
for a visit to Mitchell on the 10th.
MI. and Mis-. Powell will 20 pack to
their former home in Ohio ion Il Wis
it OF a couple of weeks and he Will
90 direct to C0lusa, Cal, which is
the place that he has accepted. In
retiring from the local church Mr..
Powell says he regrets to part very
much with tle.good friends THAT he
has made in Mitchell, but he finds
that the climate in the winter time
interferes with his health and thus
seeks a warmer climate. as Il
preacher Mr.. Powell is certainly "A
most able one, as his sermons for the
past year and a half have denoted
from Sunday to Sunday. He IS a
pleasing gentleman personally and
young enough in pulpit work tc
eventually attain a high position il
the Episcopal church.
1t has o been determined as yet
who will be his successor. a rector
from New York state, a Mr.. Greene
has been expected to arrive for sever
al weeks as az assistant to MIR. Pow
ell, and if he zones it is likely tina
he will ill the vacancy temporarily.
