$26,06O.5O we still have $22. 1888, and every
voter and tax payer in this City has perfect
right to ask the question WHAT HAVE WE
TO SHOW FOR THIS?

not account for all of it, and We have given

Fire Engine, &c. have no word of criticism
to make at this time in connection with them.

gives me an added sense Of security would do
away with none of these things NY object in
writing this article is that we may look at our
city business in an impartial light and forget
not the labors of those who in past years have
served us SO well, for to them we are indebted
for many improvements. The Sewer System
cost at least $25,000. The lower bridge was re-
built at cost of about $1,000. The Fire Alarm
cost about 1000. The City Park cost 5000

ago. fail to see where we have been drawing
any prizes through our municipal administra-

$24.26O.5O

This shows an increase in ordinary expendi-
lures for 1907 and over that of 1904 and of
24,260.50, and to this amount should be added
the difference in hydrart rental for years 1908
and 1905, which is $1,8OO, or total difference
in favor of 1901 and 5 of $26,O6O.5O.
We are told this is accounted for by an in

Patent Medicines

The patent medicine industry has
grown to wonderful proportions, but al.
ways seemed to me that a Yankee
would some day put the finishing touches
on II, and 1t seems to me that those
new booze and tobacco cures, to be
given out without the knowledge of the
patient, are about it. According 10 the
circulars of the man who makes the
dope, all the good wife has to do is
to slip a few patches of it in the old
mans coffee and in a little while he
will turn white around the gills when
anyone asks him to have something,
while in the morning he will make a
wild rush for the artesian well instead
Of the booze bottle in the pantry. At
pipe, IL rolls up his stomach and he
throws the good old briar at the cat.
The scheme Is simply great, and it is
pity that II cant be carried out
IA little farther, say to the unconscious
habit Of cussing. Take the supreme
cusser in the town for example, would
Mt il be better than finding ten to
hear him say "sugAr" or "shaw"
when the bristles were standing up all
over his backi And then there are
about a thousand men in this town
who would be elegant subjects for Pre-
