aside from the additional cost Of print

The matter of annexation has been
before the Council for some time. the
work being opposed principally by
Councilman Kane, of the Fourth ward.
The latter wanted another postpone
ment for a week last night, but he was
voted down.
Mr.. McGovern, who offered the reso-
luton to have the work done, opposed
the motion made by Mr.. Kane TO again
postpone acting on the matter, saying
that he did not think anything would
be accomplished by another postpone
ment.
Mr.. DuRoss asked why Mr.. Kane
wanted the matter again postponed,
and the latter replied that one of his
reason was that no agreement had yet
been reached as to what the annota-
tion would cost.
Mr.. McGovern said the resolution
specified what the cost would be-
Messrs. Kane, Taylor, DuRoss,
Benson and Downes voted in favor OF

motion being lost.

his original motion to adopt the reso-
luton. He went on TO say that Il was
the intention to sell some of the books
and in that way pay for the annexation
and part of the printing.
Mr.. Kane remarked that Mr.. McGOv-
ern painted a pretty picture of what
il was intended should be done, but
he estimated that all the books sold
would not net the city S25. He cited
that the last issue Of books sold netted
500.
Mr.Kane considered that $4,000 was
altogether too high TO have the work
done and he made an amendment max.

KASPARILLA

This sterling household remedy has
tong been recognized as the best and
,afest Blood Purifier, the most successful
prescription for spring humors and such
disorders of the blood as boils, pimples,
pustules, blotches, sores and cutaneous
.ruptions. Kasparilla is admitted to be
he best remedy for that lack of energy
and the peculiar debility so prevalent
Turing the close of winter and the opening
If spring. For arrangements of the di.
yestive organs it is a natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
nentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating healthy activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, tc
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation oi
sood, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con.
,tipation and the long list of troubles
airectly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi.
ness, headache, backache and despond.
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t is 9
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
