Council Monday
When He Refused To Call

Adjournment Taken For Three
Weeks On Motion
Adjournment Taken For Three
Weeks On Motion

A protest was registered Monday
? evening at the regular meeting Of the
e city council by President William
Banning against the hurried manner
in which ordinances, ct cetera, are
put through by the body.
The protest came when an assess
ing ordinance was introduced, provid-
. ing for the payment by property own
ers of sixty-one cents per foot front
for the construction of sanitary
sewer on Oak street, from the west
end thereof to Rogers street, with
necessary laterals. The ordinance
was carried through it's third reading
on suspension of rules and was up
= Tor final passage when President Ban
ming stated that he did not favor such
course of procedure and would not
call for vote unless overruled by the
body.
City Auditor Parker stated that
Otis & Co. of Cleveland had refused
TO take up the bonds until the assess
ing ordinance had been passed and
urged the necessity of this procedure
owing to the furry produced by the
war. The chair still maintained his
original position, but on motion OF
Mr.. Dubinsky, the ordinance was
put to vote and passed.
President Banning again placed
himself on record as against this
"hurry-up" method when another as
sessing ordinance was introduced
providing for payment of sixty three
cents per foot front by abutting pre-
perty owners for the construction o
the west side trunk line sewer. TN
willingly, he put the question of fina
passage and the vote was In favo
thereof
a resolution was introduced for tn
construction of sidewalks on tn
south side of the square from Higl
street to the south side of the Kno,
county Savings bank and from th
corner west to Mulberry street. Th
resolution was found to provide TO
the paving of the sidewalks" and th
council, much puzzled, referred tn
matter to the sidewalk committee,
Mr.. Weaver stated that the super

This is the result of the putting up

Just because catarrh affects the nose and
throat, few people realize how deep seated
It may be until it creeps into the bronchial
tubes and settles down into the lungs.
The way to treat catarrh is to recognize
the fact that 1t Is in the blood.
And there Is only one blood purifier that
can be safely used. 1t is s. S. 81, the most
powerful, the most searching, the most
assimiative blood remedy known today, for
1t is not mineral, but vegetable remedy.
The medicinal components of S. $. s. are
relatively just as essential to well-balanced
health as the nutritive properties of the
grains, meats, sugars and fats of foods.
Any local irritating influence is the blood Is
rejected by the tissue cells and eliminated
by reason of the stimulating influence OF
s. s. S.
You will soon realize its wonderful In
1uence by the absence of headache, de-
clded clearing OF the air passages, a steadily
improved nasal condition. and sense OF
bodily relief that proves how completely
catarrh often infests the entire system.
You will find s. =. s. on sale at all drug

A MISTAKEN idea

There are some people who still resort
to drugged pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unadulterated nourishment in Scott's
Emulsion is eminently better, but refrain
from taking it because they fear It may
lead to excessive fat or obesity.
This is mistaken idea, because Scott's
Emulsion first strengthens the body before
making flesh. It's blood-forming proper
ties aid nature to throw off sickness by
building health from its very source, and
flesh is formed only by its continued use.
Avoid alcoholic substitutes for SCOTS.

White SLAYER
Operating At Station, Belief
Of Two SyCharitGS
And Investigation Reveals An
Amusing Situation

Two female Sycharites, considerably
agitated, presented themselves at the
Pennsylvania ticket window Monday
morning, just after the S:4S train had
pulled out, and in awed tones whis-
pered through the window that white
slavers" were in operation at the sta
ton.
Further questioning revealed that
they had seen, with their own eyes, a
man pull a woman off the train that
had just departed. Excitedly, they led
Mr.. George A. Cheyney outside and
pointed out the couple who were jab-
bering away in some foreign tongue.
Astounded that such high-handed
practices existed in peaceful Mt. Yer
non, Mr. Cheyney stepped up to the
couple and asked if they had tickets.
NO" answered the man accused of
violating the law that made Mr.. Mann
national character, "but she has. %
Where to-" pursued Mr.. Cheyney.
