sion Last Evening to Consider
ing Street Bids.

Bitulithic was recommended for the
construction of Broadway and Jeffer-
lson street between Ninth and Eiev-

recommended for the contract for
the street work. and II. NJ. Weikle
was recommended to receive the work
of laying the sidewalks and cutters.
All bids for the graveling of Clark
street from Tenth street to Gould ave-
nue. and from Gould avenue to Bron-
son avenue, We're refused on account
of the bids being too high.
The Southern Bitulithic company
was the only contractor Offering bids
for bitulithic, but It is in the power
of the general council to select any
material for the streets. The bid for
the construction of the street with
asphalt was 5000 cheaper. The bids
were: George w. Katterjohn, brick

Bridges & Sons brick, $26,54S; as
phalt, s25.524.
For the construction of the side

contract, If the council approves 1t,
as soon as the traction company can
put in double tracking, ana the board
of public works will write the. man
agement letter requesting the work
TO be started at once. All of the ma
terlal has been received by the trac-
tloli tohipduy' anu MI. w Isoh, rep
resentng the bitulithic company,
thought the work should be completed
by August /. The cost of the btu
lithic was a little higher per square

contract was let, because of the less
of yards and the cost of NOV
ing the machinery here.

Headache?

If it does, you should
try DR.. Miles Anti-Pain
Pills. Why not do so.
They will relieve the
pain in just a few min
utes. Ask your druggist
There are 40, 900 druggists
in the U. S. Ask any of
them. A package of 25
doses costs % cents. One
tablet usually stops a
headache. They relieve
pain without leaving any
disagreeable after-effects
Isn't that what you
want?
my son FRANK snyder has used
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills for a long
time. He never had anything to
help him SO much for headache. A
year ago he came home, and l was
down sick with such a dreadful nerv-
GUS headache. He gave me one Of
the Anti-Pain Pills. and after while
I took another and was entirely re-
iieved. always keep them In tho

How WoxaII Was Named.

Near Schwenksville. Pa. Is village
that bears the name of Woxall. This
wonderful name was the result OF an
error upon the part Of the postoffice de-
partment In Washington The place
was known many years ago as Crop
pestettel," or "Crowtown," and later
as Mechanicsville, but wen a post
Office was established there In 1898
neither of these names was satisfac-
tory, and 1t was decided to choose a
new cognomen. Many were the sug-
resttons submitted to the postofaice de-
partment. but all were found to be, too
nearly like the name OF some other
postoffice to be acceptable. One DAY
the village storekeeper saw the WORD
"Noxall" upon a piece OF calico and
called the attention Of several friends
TO it. At once all agreed that "Nox-
alIp would be a fine name for their
tom. So the postofflce authorities were
notified. Soon q letter came from
Washington approving the name that
had been chosen, but IN the letter II
was spelled "Woxall." So Woxall be
came the name Of the village.-Phila-

ritanical training, she was interested In
the proceedings. She studied the elab-
