An Unusual and Affecting Scene in
tho Council Chamber An Item for
the School Board to Consider.
Birthday Celebration and Sevorol
Condensed Locals Memorized nnd
Jotted Down.
Tho most crest-fallen individual who
ever plodded his way uown that cir
cuitous stairway from the council
chamber was James llcnnlgan, tho cx
member from tho Fifth ward, after he
was informed by Chairman Lasnn that
ho was no longer a member of the select
council and was simply holding him
self In contempt when ho offered to
dictate to that body. When tho meet
ing was called to order he nssumed his
nccustomed seat, and after listening
to tho reading or - - minutes by Secre
tary Flunnery, n portion of which ex
1 'dined to him that his scat had bon
declared vacant, he could no longer
suppress his emotion and, rising, ob
jected to their adoption. Not a mem
ber of the council moved In their seats
nnd the stillness was almost oppres
sive when Chairman Langin, In fan
oral notes, solemnly Informed him that
the tlmo had passed when he could as
sume tho privilege of addressing the
chair, that he was now merely a plain,
every-day citizen and any further ex
planation from him could not possibly
bo entertained. Ho cast his eyes Im
ploringly about the room and even at
tho group of scribes In the reporters'
den for a glance of sympathy, but
members and reporters were both deaf
and dumb to his entreaties, nnd, pick
ing up his coat nnd hat, he vacated tho
"great objector's." desk and as ho ap
proached the elevator (that Is not) ho
Informed tho chairman that he would
be present at tho next meeting and
would come prepared to stay and as
sume tho duties of the office to which
ho was elected. During tho balance of
tho session a resolution was Introduced
asking that a special election be held
on April 1 to fill tho vacancy caused
by tho ousting of Hennigan. The lat
ter, we understand, is already a can
didate, and, If elected, Chairman Lan
gan will have to desist from humming
that refrain "I Don't Care If You Never
Come Back," etc. Members Kearney
and Tigue had a little scheme to In
troduce, but it did not materialize.
Now here is a little matter that
should receive the Individual nttentlon
of the school board, for wo know it will
very much Interest the taxpayers. The
night school which was opened has
been dwindling it Us membership un
til at the present time there is scarce
ly an average of twenty scholars. There
are two teachers, a principal and. his
assistant, who are drawing seventy-live
dollrs a month from tho school fund
as their salary and we do not blame
them, but the question Is, are tho mem
bers of the school board aware that
the attendance Is so meagre? If the
young men who tlnd their way to Main
street every night do not appre
ciate the advantage offered them in this
direction it would be better to close
the building at night and expend the
money for a more beneficial purpose.
Street Commissioner Carroll was a
very happy man last night, as he had
his salary advanced one hundred and
twenty-five dollars for the ensuing year
by the same members of council who
turned poor Hennigan down and de
clared his seat vacant.

treatment at some time in her life for troubles
of the generative organs.
To treat these cases properly it is necessary
to know all about them, and full information
many times cannot be giA'en by a woman to

"Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam
I was .1 sufferer from female
weakness. Every month
regularly ns tho menses

pains in uterus, ovaries

corrhcea. I had my children
very fast and it left mc very
weak. A year ugo I was
taken with flooding and al
most died. The doctor even
gave me up and wonders
how I ever lived. I wrote
for Mrs. Pinkham's advice
at Lynn, Mass., and took
her medicine and began to
get woll. I took several
bottles of the Compound
and used the Sanative Wash
and can truly say that I am
cured. You would hardly
know me, I am feeling and
looking so well. Lydia E.

My physician scraped the
womb, still the flooding

better. At last he ad
vised me to use Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. Then I
thought I would write to

take her remedies. I
received her reply and
followed all herdirections

send you thi testimonial,

"Dear Mrs. Pinkham I feel it my duty to write and thank
you for what your Vegetable Compound has dono for mc. It
is the only medicine I havo found that has done me any good,
llefore taking your medicine, I was all run down, tired all the
time, no appetite, pains in my back und bearing-down pains,

bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I felt like
a new woman. I am now on my fourth bottle and all my

years and would recommend your Compound to every suffer

Another Tumor SucsasstfisHy EzzssQiletfj,
"Two years ago I was a great sufferer from womb trouble
and profuse flowing each month, and tumors would form in
the womb. 1 had four tumors in two years. I went through
treatment with doctors, but they did me no good, and I thought
I would have to resort to morphine. The doctor said that all
that could help me was to have an operation and have the womb
removed, but I had heard of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine and de
cided to try it, and wrote for her advice, and after taking her
Vegetable Compound the tumors wero expelled and I began to
get stronger right along, and am ns well as ever before. Can
truly say that I would never have gotten well had it not been for ($
Lydla E. Pinkham's Compound. I cannot praise it enough." J
