Shooting Pains in the Cords
and Joints.
Symptoms Of Inflamnatory Rhes-
1natism Which Quickly Disap-
peared When the Patient
Tried the Right
Remedy.

Almost any pain or ache which cannot
readily be accounted for is usually CLASH
fed as rheumatism. Some of these are
transient and cure themselves.
An actual attack of rheumatism is
very difficult to cure so that it will stay
cured. Ordinary treatment aims only
to relieve the pain until the attack wears
itself out. Then it is liable to occur
again and usually does, year after year.
The only lasting cure is secured by
driving the rheumatic poison from the
system and building up the blood SO that
the disease is prevented from obtaining
q new foothold
Mr.. Frank Thornburgh, q prominent
farmer, of r. f. D. No. 8, Indianola,
Iowa, says:

rheumatism for eighteen years. The

Like Many Another Hard Pressed
Father City Council Takes the
chiId's Money in Order
to Keep Going.
FUNDS ALMOST ALL GONE
Ending of the Fiscal Year Sees the
Finances at Low Ebb and a
Halt is Called to the
Expense Bill.

Keokuk's strong box is almost
empty and it may be necessary to
sell couple of more buffalo to Hag-
eneck and the steam roller to the old
iron man in order to ges enough
money in to run the city for the next
couple of months. On account of lack
OF funds there is no city work going
on and none will be done until after
the change in government when ar
rangements will be made to secure
money and Keokuk can improve NUM-
cipally.
At the regular monthly meeting of
the council last evening, the main
question was whether or not to pay
the bills. Some of the accounts have
been exhausted and no money can be
appropriated out of an empty fund
Therefore several of the accounts
were not allowed, but were referred
back to committees.
The firemen and police were order
ed paid out of the fire and police
funds which still have a few dollars
left, but the general expense bill and
Ota6I6 were not allowed.
A motion that the salaries of all city
officials from mayor down to dumping
ground Waterman, be not allowed,
came very near passing, but the ac-
counts were finally allowed although
there is not money enough on hand to
pay them.
But by using the baby's bank. like
many hard pressed fathers have done
before, $4,000 was secured and the
city will not go broke for another
month yet. The special bond paying
fund which was created some time ago
was looted by means of a special or.
dinance which provides that the fund
now on hand be turned into the gen
eral fund, thus giving the city little
more money to keep the sheriff from
lacking sign on the door.
A year ago the finance committee
figured on receiving and spending
$128,0G0 during the fiscal year, but
only $4,000 has been taken in and
this has nearly all been spent as fast
as received. With change in gov.

functions if the city should borrow
anything the council finds itself do
ing some mighty close figuring in or
der to come out even when it gives
up the reins of Office to the com
missioners.
Even a greater problem will face
the commissioners, for they will take
charge of the city with no money or
hand and nothing coming in until
taxes are due or saloon keepers are
ready to pay their licenses. The only
money in sight at present for the
immediate future is from the specia
tax levied last night for weed cutting
and snow cleaning.
Ten aldermen were present at the
meeting, Aldermen Hickey and Swan

Would Change the Yards.

Should the tracks north of the city
be changed according to the plans,
which would eliminate the cruve from
the right of way and give the tracks
an eight foot elevation above those
now located in front of the union de-
pot company's ground, the entire yards
OF the G., B. & Q. and possibly the
Rock Island would be changed. The
agreement with the city some time
ago to do no switching above Bank
street, would still remain the same
and the yards would be moved much
farther down than they are at the
present time, being taken out alto
gether possibly. Should no suitable
location be found, Alexandria would
prove good place to reconstruct the
@ yards.
