CITY COUNCIL.

The regular monthly session of the
city council convened on Tuesday
evening, with Mayor Ringle presid-
ing AS our Mayor had been in
Europe since last spring, it was the
first meeting at which he had been
present for some time.
1t was found that the city needed
money to replenish the general fund
and it was ordered that $4,000 be
borrowed to cary on business until
the taxes came in.
Fire station No. reported a. dis
abled horse and it was ordered to
purchase one in its stead.
1t was found upon investigation
that there was very small amount
of insurance on property owned by
the city and it was voted TO increase
the amount on the various buildings,
equipment, etc, to an amount that
will be adequate to heep replace them
if destroyed.
The matter of laying a sidewalk on
the street passing through Jacob
Mortenson Lumber Co.'s property
west of the Leahy & Beebe bridge,
which was ordered to be built at a
previous meeting, was taken up and
discussed. The company argued that
it would do no good to lay the walks,
as they would be destroyed in the
winter by the drawing and storing of
logs. The matter was referred to the
proper committee to be reported up
on at the next meeting.
w. w. Albers declined reap
pointment on the library board and
Emmer Lampert was appointed to
succeed him. A. j. KraatZ was re-
appointed as a member of the water
commission.
The Fire and Police commission
made report as to the investigation
being conducted with reference to
the fire department, as to its eff
cheney and especially as to its work at
the fire at the pumping station last
July. G. ID. Jones speaking for the
said many witnesses had
been examined and that a report
would be forthcoming later. The
idea seems to prevail that the inveS-
tigation was for the purpose of see
ing if any improvements can be made
to better conditions in our city.
Reports of the various officers were
read and that of the comptroller in
dicated the necessity of replenishing
the accounts of several important
funds. Considerable discussion was
had over city fnancies, the mode of
paying bills, etc, and after allowing
the usual batch of bills the council
adjourned to meet again on the 9th
of October

NASHOUT REFILLED.

The huge Washout on the Sturgeon
Eddy road caused by the heavy rain
and the bursting at the same time of
a sewer pipe on the night of August
3lst, after two weeks work has been
repaired, the work being finished
Thursday Afternoon and the road be-,
ing open for travel again. The con-
tract for doing the work was let by
the city to Frank and Paul Schulz
of the town of Hewitt, two sturdy
farmers and loggers who evidently
knew their business, for the sum Of
81 900 and who most successfully ac-
complished the work. The washout
was very destructive. About 5000
yards OF the roadway and the en-
bankment of the river through which
the pipe passed was washed away.
In order to restore travel in that
neighborhood immediate repairment
was necessary. The city undertook
the task of restoration but gave it
up as bad job. Fortunately along
came the Schulz brothers who sub
mitted a proposition to tackle it for
the sum named which was accepted.
A filling of $500 yards was made by
ten men and five teams, besides rip
rapping the river bank, in just thir-
teen days, for about the sum of 300,
the contractors pocketing about $500
as clear gain in praiseworthy fulfill
ment of their contract and which
has been duly accepted.

Apply Sloan's Freely For Lumbago.

Your attacks of Lumbago are not
nearly so hopeless as they seem. You
can relieve them almost instantly by
a simple application of Sloan's Lini-
ment on the back and loins. Lum-
bago is a form of rheumatism, and
yields perfectly to Sloan's, which
penetrates quickly all in through the
sore, tender muscles, limbers up the
back and makes it feel fine. Get a
bottle of Sloan's Linfment for 25
cents of any druggist and have it in
the house-against colds, sore and
swollen joints, rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatica and like ailments. Your
money back if not satisfied, but it
does give almost instant relief.

| am sure the poultry raisers of
Mexico and vicinity owe the Mes
sage vote of thanks for the ac-
tive interest which it is taking i'll
behalf of the poultry industry in
Audrain county. | certainly ap-
preciate the privilege accorded
me of talking to you once or twice
month thru these columns.
Don t forget that March 9TH is
Missouri Hen Day" Plan to
attend the mass meeting which
will be held at l 80 p. m. at the
Court House, in Mexico. An in
teresting and instructive program
has been prepared, and at this
meeting an organization for the
purpose of making Audrain
county the leading poultry coun-
ty i'll the State will be perfected
If you keep even a dozen hens,
you can t afford to miss this i'm
portant meeting.
The outlook for high prices for
poultry and eggs is better than
ever before. Beef is scarce. and
getting scarcer. The population
of our cities is increasing three
times as fast as the population of
the country. These increasing
millions get hungry three times
day, three hundred and sixty-fve
days in the year, and they all like
fried chicken and fresh eggs Let
us see that they are kept well sup
piled.
If you have not already done
so. resolve right now that you
will make "A start with purebred
chickens this year. 1t will be the
best resolution you ever made. /
have deep personal grudge
against every scrub chicken IN
Audrain county, because | know
that they are depriving their own

better. Try it and be convinced.
