THE BARS OF HEALTH
once down, disease finds nn easy en
trance. If there is a vcnk spot in the body, disease-germs
will find it. They will lodge
right in that spot and unless they are
driven out at once, will increase and
multiply and grow into 6eriou?ness.
Weakness is a predisposition to disease.
Whether the weakness be local or gen
eral, it is dangerous. Good healthy
strength all over the body is the best
safeguard ngainst disease. Debility of
any kind is a direct invitation to serious
sickness. The reason that Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures 98 per
cent, of all cases of consumption if taken
in the early stages of the disease, is that
it puts the whole body into a hearty,
healthy condition. The poisonous tuber
cular matter is thrown off by the
lungs, and the pure, rich blood cours
ing through them, nuickly stops the
inflammation, heals the broken mem
branes and makes the lungs perfectly
strong and sound. Consumption is
marked by wasting away of the bodily
tissues and vice versa. A wasting of the
flesh brings on consumption. Doctor
Tierce'a Golden Medical Discovery in
duces the Accumulation of sound, hard,
liealthy flesh. It increases the appetite
atvl the capacity of the digestive organs
for the assimilation of food. It is a puri
fier, a tonic and a powerful curative rem
edy, all in one bottle. AU who will send
their addresses, this notice and cix cents
in stamps, to World's Dispensary Medi
cal Association, Buffalo, N. Y., will re
ceive by return mail a large book of
16b pages, which tells all about the
"Golden Medical Discovery."
TOWN FATHERS MEET.
The Last Meeting but one of the Present
Council. Important Buiinett Transacted.
The Town Council met at the City
Hall Monday night and for a time it
was supposed there would be no meet
ing as only President of Council
Creasy, Lockard and Knorr were
present. Just about the time they
had concluded to adjourn Gorry came
in, and the council was called to
order. The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved.
Mrs. McCormick, Mrs. Mellick and
Isaiah 1 loiter appeared and stated
that their deeds for lots in what is
now known as Neal's addition called
for an alley at the rear, and they had
been informed that the plot as laid
out by Mr. Neal contained no alleys,
and inasmuch as the Council was
about to accept the same, desired
council to examine into the same so
as to protect their rights. The mat
ter was referred to the committee on
highways, and the solicitor was au
thorized to withhold the ordinances in
relation thereto.
John P. Jones appeared and com
plained about the condition of that
part of the town between Seventh and
Eighth Streets, and Catharine and
Iron, stating that it was frequently
inundated owing to want of sufficient
gutters to carry off the water. He
suggested the propriety of laying
pipes to the canal. Mr. Creasy in
formed him that the present council
would soon be out of office, and in
view ot this tact, as well as that it
would be expensive to dig up the
streets at this season of the year the
matter was postponed for the present.
Frank Miller desired to place two
Helsbachs lights in the council room.
He was informed that this council
did not intend making any more pur
chases than possible during the bal
ance of their term and hence action
on the matter was postponed.
J. U. Brown complained of the
practice of certain parties in burning
papers near the High School building.
1 hat it was not only a dangerous
practice, but was injurious to the
building. The committee on high
ways was authorized to notify chief of
police Knorr to arrest any one caught
burning papers at this place.
The solicitor was present and gave
the council some information in re
gard to Jefferson Street, and also had
a list of persons whose names appear
ed on the tax duplicate in the hands
of M. C. Woodward as being delin
quent in their taxes which he desired
the council to exonerate. J. K. Bit
tenbender also presented a list' both
of which were referred to the finance
committee. They were authorized to
examine the same and make a report
to council. The highway committee
reported that they had received
another bid for the stone crusher. The
secretary was instructed to write to
the Silver Spring Quarry Company,
and also Low Bros, and get their bids
for the same.
The Friendship Fire Company re
ported forty-eight members and the
engine in good condition but the hose
cart not fit for use. Stephen Knorr
was authorized to set the tire on the
same.
Winona Fire Company reported
twenty members.
Upon motion the appropriation to
the companies were fixed the same as
last Jvear viz : $75 for the Winona,
and $150 for the Friendship. The
secretary was authorized to draw or
ders for the same.
The Atlantic Oil Refining Company
desired a fire plug near their works
and upon motion, it agreed to have
one placed at the southeast corner of
Seventh and Market Streets. A pe
tition was presented from citizens re
siding on West Fourth Street request
ing council to allow the grade to re
main as it is at present. This is a
matter which has caused the council
a great deal of trouble and it was
upon motion decided to hold a meet
ing on the evening of February 20th
to dispose of this question.
Council in the meantime to visit
the location and notice to be given
the parties. East Third Street was
reported as being in a dangerous con
dition. The matter was referred to
the committee on highways.
C. C. Trench, and H. G. Supplee
appeared and complained that the
sewer on Fifth Street between Centre
and Market had not sufficient fall,
and in consequence Mr. Trench was
subject to great annoyance. They
desired it re laid and connect with the
Fifth Street sewer West of Market
Street Referred to committee on
sewers with power to act.

granted :
Mrs. M. E. Creasy for a two story
brick kitchen on Main and Jefferson
