TWIcE-ToLp TESTIMONY.
owosso People are Doing all They
Can for Fellow Sufferers.

Owosso testimony has been published
to prove the merits of Doan's Kidney
Pills to others in Owosso who suffer
from bad backs and kidney ills. Lest
any sufferer doubt that the cures made
by Doan's Kidney Pills are thorough
and lasting, we produce confirmed
proof-statements from Owosso people
saying that the cures they told of years
ago are permanent. Here's an Owosso
case
Mrs. William Fuller, living at Rowley
st., Owosso, Mich, says:
Ny back gave me great deal of
pain, extending to the shoulder, the
pains being go severe at times, that
was unable to rest. suffered many
accompanying symptoms of kidney trou-
BILE and my physician told me my condi-
tion was very poor. i procured Doan's
Kidney Pills and the backache soon left
me and feel like different person.
(From statement given in 1899
CONFIRMED PROOF.
On Nov. 8 1906, Mrs. Miller confirmed
above statement in the following words:
/ am glad to again Recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as / have never
suffered from severe attacks of kidney
trouble since taking them. Some
symptoms 1 have since felt, but they
have been quickly banished by Doans
Kidney Pills.

CITY fathers COMMUNE.
Various and Sundry Municipal Affairs
Come up tor ConsidsrAtion.

The city fathers convened in reg
ular semi-monthly session last Mon
day. Hizzonor, Mayor Barr. presid-
ed, and Aldermen lnge. kirkpatrick.
Daimler and Mapes gathered around
the municipal board and took notice
of anything that came up.
Under the head of communica.
tions and petitions the city clerk
read u petition, signed by Allen
Moore and other property owners.
requesting the city dads to install
an arc light on the corner of Smith
land avenue and Seventh street.
The petition was referred to the
electric light committee for recon-
mendation and report.
j. N. Lamb. of the Fulton Market.
made application for permission to
connect the new slaughter house
about to be erected on the site of
the old canning factory. with the
sewer. He was requested to make
application in writing for consider
alton at the next meeting.
II. T. O'Connor. on behalf of
the property owners of the
Bradish addition. objected to the
erection of the slaughter house on
the proposed site, for sanitary rea-
sons. Although the proposed slaugh-
ter house is located outside of the
city limits. Mr.. O'Connor cited the
fact that under the statutes the
city's power. as regards regulation
xnd control of slaughter houses. eN-
tends to within one mile of the outer
boundaries of the city limits. Mr.
Sceley also objected to the location
of the slaughter house. considering
it menace to the health of the pro-
posed residents of the proposed
Gillen addition across the arroyo.
The matter was referred to the
committee on sewers.
Frederick A. Moss, of the Cont
mental Audit Company, Denver,
appeared before the council with a
proposition to audit the books of the
various city officials. for whatever
period the city might determine. for
certain stipend. Mr.. Moss stated
that he had examined the books of
all the CITY officials. and assured the
council that he could make sugges-
tions in the matter of municipal
bookkeeping that would be of great
advantage to the city. The matter
was referred to the finance commit
tee.
DR.. Stubbs, city health officer, in
verbal report, cited the fact that
although many of the towns on all
sides of La Junta were afflicted with
an epidemic of smallpox and scarlet
fever. this city had thus far escaped
contagion. He also advised the city
council to meet as board of health
and condemn the Wiedeman building
on Second street in which the
Chinese laundry is located. The
ground under the laundry is nothing
more than a bog or cesspool, and
the building is unfit for human
habitation. besides being a menace
to the health Ct the people of that
neighborhood. DR.. Stubs also
