REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING.

BILE amount of business which came
up before the meeting.
A petition was received from M. C..
Poyntz for permission to erect a one
story cottagd on Holmes street to
cost $500. Referred.
Col. Noel Gaines petitioned the
council to correct his city assessment
which included $500, and stated that
he had no such amount of money.
Permission was given Franklin
Morris to build frame house on
Main street.
The building committee of the
council will pass later on the ques-
tion of permitting B. T. Gudgell to
erect store room on Conway, be-
tween Third and Fourth streets.
City Clerk Polsgrove's monthly re-
port, which was read, showed that
there was cash balance in the treas
ury of $7,541.31.
The report of the city court which
was also read, disclosed the fact that
the receipts for that department dur
ing the mouth of November were
S397.90.
The following committee appoint
ments for the new board were then
announced by Mayor Hume:
Bridge-Newman Rossen and Welt
eel.

man and Demaree.
The police force, as at present
composed, together with the present
chief, were then elected for the en-
suing two years. There had been
rumors of a change on the police
force for several months past, but
the action of the Mayor and council
proved it groundless.
The special board of supervisors
appointed by the council some time
since to revise the delinquent tax
list, rendered their report, in which
it was held that the Mason-Foard
Company owed the city consider
able sum in the way of taxes, as did
also the illinois Insurance Co. 1t
was ordered that the corporations al
luded to be required to pay the sums
due to Tax Collector Dudley Richard
son.
Mr.. I. T. West appeared and made
q strong plea for the abolition OF
stock sales on the corner OF Main
and st. Clear streets ON county court
dey, and the matter was taken under
advisement for action at later date.
City Engineer Robert Frazier sub
mitted that the level of the pave
ment on Broadway, from Ann to
High. should be raised on account
of the improvements recently made
by the L. & N. at that point. Re-
ferred.
A member of the council suggested
that 1t would be good idea to have
some of the trees and many dead
branches removed from the North
side of Broadway from Ann to High,
and the proposed improvement will
be brought up later.
Mayor Hume submitted a con-
tract with Scott & Coins, the we'll
known contractors, to make certain
improvements to the interior of the
Capitol Theatre, the remuneration for

THE HONEST FARMER.

About the Corporation thiefs."
And ways and. deeds impure;
About the shabby, measly tricks
That men do do to get more hicks?
Who says the. sea and hell betwix'
Is just about his sort o. fix?
The honest farmer? Sure.
Who is it calls himself sheep
Amongst the wolves that prowl and
leap
In predatory glee;
A lamb before the shearers, dumb,
Unable TO lift toe or thumb;
A dog that begs the fallen crumb
Who it is claims all this, begun?
The honest farmer? He,
Yet who is it gets up fore day,
To stuff a steer with corn and hay,
Before the weighers come?
Or sells you dew, so much per ton,
On oats and hay, and calls you "one,"
To even question what he done

The honest far Sh-mum.

More people succumb each year TO
some form OF kidney trouble than any
otner cause. The slightest form of

into Bright's kidney disease, diabetes

quency, especially at night painful
scalding and other urinary troubles,
try the following simple home remedy (:
Fluid Extract of Dandelon e.half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. These simple ingredients are
harmless and can be obtained at any
good prescription pharmacy and any
one can mix them by shaking we'll in
bottle. The dose for adults is a tea
spoonful after each meal and again at
bedtime.
But unless you go to the trou ole to
ask the druggist for the Dundelion and
Sarsaparilla separately, and then buy
one ounce Kargon Compound, in an
original (unopenedl package, plainly
printed. Guaranteed No. l0S under Ma

ELECTRIC ROAD SOLD
Eleven Miles Of Road Brought Only S22, 500
At Auction,

Stowe, December 20.-The Mount
Mansfield Electric Railway Co. IS prop.
erty, after spirited bidding, was sold
at auction today to A. II. Soderu, of
Boston, .for 800, 800. There were thir.
teen bids in all. George HI. Dale,
special master for the American Trust
| Co., holding mortgage on the prop
erty, acted as auctioneer, the property
being sold by order OF the United
States district court to satisfy the
foreclosure OF the mortgage. Mr.. So
dem, the purchaser, declines to make
any statement.
1t was announced March Is, that @.
E. Burt, of this place, had been ap-
pointed receiver OF the property, and
he has operated the property since that
time.
The railway extends from Water
bury to Stowe, distance of eleven
miles, and 1t is said that it has been a
losing proposition from the start.
When 1t was constructed the town of
Stowe furnished $40, 900.
The appointment Of a receiver was
taken in some quarters to mean the
ultimate extension of the road to NJ Or
risville, distance of eight miles,
which 1t is believed would make the
property good financial investment.
Whether this will be effected under
the new management cannot be an.
bounced until the policies of the new
purchaser are made public.

VICE ADMIRAL
RANK IS NOT
SCHLEY's AIM

Washington, Dec. "a. Suggestions
that the passage OF the bill introduced
in the senate and house To create the
rank or vice-admiral may be hampered
by the efforts OF Rear Admiral w. S.
Schley 10 obtain such recognition are
not looked upon seriously I'm congress.
Rear Admiral Schley declined TO discuss
the matter. but friends who have here
tofore interested themselves in his be-
hak gave prompt negative TO the plan.
They do not look upon tho bill as one
which takes into consideration an officer
OF the navy on the retired list
Any effort to link with the vice-ad-
miral bill. which Is intended TO provide
rank commensurate with responsibility
for the commander-in-chief OF the bat
tleship fleet; another one raising the
rank OF retired officer will not only
have little support. but will meet vigor-
Gus opposition. Furthermore, II is un-
derstood a bill retroactive in the case OF
Rear Admiral Schley would be vetoed by
the president.
Interest In the vice-admiral bill Is
rapidly growing, and there IS every dis
position to urge it's consideration as soon
as congress reconvenes. There has ap-
parently been change Of sentiment
from that which greeted the suggestion
mado in the report OF the secretary OF
congress who were opposed 10 the crea-
tion OF the rank under the disposition OF
the. feet which then obtained see in the
concentration of the big battleships and
the long cruise a necessity for the
higher rank not before recognized.
While the bills i'm each branch OF con-
gress were referred 10 the committees
on naval affairs, II is found that the
committees on foreign affairs OF both the
senate and house are taking an interest
In the plan. IL Is held that the navy's
standing with other nations is not main
tanned while the country fails to give Of
ficers of great responsibility less rank
than is accorded officers Of foreign
navics.
Capt. II. T. Hobson. member OF the
house naval committee, whose experience
I'm the navy makes il possible for him
to realize the needs of the service from
the standpoint OF experience, is heartily
In favor Of the bill,
