CI7Y COUNCIL
Looks after Routine Business
and Orders Sixth Street
Bridge Raised a Foot.

Routine matters engaged the at
tention OF the city council mostly.
when IL held meeting Friday night.
The three Democratic members would
not vote for payment Of bills on. the
ground that the. city had no funds.
They appeared to overlook the fact
that the city treasurer has about
100000 on his books representing
uncollected taxes. There was an at
tempt to play politics.
The mayor informed council thai
the Sixth street bridge had been
found foot low A howl immedi-
ately went up from the Democratic
quarters and the Democratic mem
bers with one exception voted to, de-
lay the completion OF the bridge.
while the seven Republican. members
authorized the mayor to have the
bridge raised. The same will be
done at once. The Democratic menu
Der who failed to vote on the bridge
question was John Flaherty, street
car man and there is conjecture as
to whether there was a colored gem
tleman in the wood pile In his case.

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in The blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing in6am-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
neys and skin are too torpid to carry
it off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic. IS very successful in the
treatment Of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys AMI skim which j
stimulates, and at the same time il
improves The digestion. *

CONTINUED from page u


them OF the correctness of the. Ger
man announcement that historic
victory had been won over the Rus
SLAMS in Poland are borne out by the
apparent lessening Of enthusiasm In
Berlin, where the utmost fear during
the last two days was surcharged
with exuberant rejoicing.
It Is evident that Grand Duke
Nicholas has drawn in a portion OF
the Russian front from the Lowicz-
How line to entertainments nearer
Warsaw. There has been no admis-
sion from Petrograd, however. of any
serious reyerses in the field of oper-
atoms along the Vistula river, such
as must necessarily have preceded a
general German victory. 1t is regard
ed here as quite possible that the
Teutonic allies have scored successes
In some localities although there is
no information available as to their
time or location.
The reverse which Petrograd says
the; German have suffered in the re-
gion Of Mlawa. near the East Prus-
sian frontier. is believed in London
to have interfered with the opera
lions of the Germans along the Wis
,tula. It is asserted unofficially at
Petrograd that the Germans have
evacuated LODI. finding that city Of
no greater strategic value to them
than 1t was to the Russians.
What ever are the facts OF the sit
uation in the Vistula region the
present situation there apparently Is
exerting no influence on the crucial
operations to the soutj, around Cra-
cow.
