In need of repairs for some time and
the gentlemen who inspected things
through the entire building this after
noon found things in a miserable con-
dition throughout the building on all
floors from the third up. The cornices
of the top of the building are badly
rotted away and In storm could be
blown off easily causing danger to
those below. The roof is In good con-
dition, having been put on not long
ago.
All of the paper on the walls off
every room is hanging In shreds and
the fire department would be at loss
as to what to do in this fire trap should
confiagration break out.
Those with the party were: Mayor
Strimback, Ross Robertson, Louis
Sterne Geo. Jaeger, Chief John An
derson and Henry Kesschling.

formed into the mightiest republic
which the world has ever seen It's
domains stretch across the continent
from one to the other of the two
greatest oceans, and it exercises do
minion alike in the arctic and tropic
realms. The growth in wealth and
population has surpassed even the
growth in territory. Nowhere else in

Mi-on-na cures dyspepsia. There
isn't a particle of doubt about It; and
if any of the readers of The Gate City
are suffering from stomach trouble
of any kind Wilkinson & Co. will sell
you a box of Mona for so cents with
an absolute guarantee of relief, or
money back. In many cases one box
will effect a permanent cure; in
chronic conditions more Is necessary.
But one thing is certain: one box of
Mona will make you feel so much
better and brighter, so much more
energetic that you will not give it up
till cured.
Mona is not digester. Digesters
never cured dyspepsia, and never will.
Mona is stomach strengthened
that builds up the worn out, fabby
inside of the stomach, and makes the
stomach strong enough to perfectly
digest what you eat.

THAT life is wasted, and worse than
