I dispelled here when the County j Commissioners, acting as a board of] Lrevlslon, dropped from the estimate! jof $117,000,000, which they had placed on tiie coal lands, and ac cepted the figures proposed by the coal companies amounting to a little more than $24,000,000.

('anions New Medicine. • "Tanlac!" There is magic in its name, which is to-day a household word in this community, where its fame is as widespread as the bright, smiling sunshine. "Tanlac is the result of scientific research," said the Tanlac Man. "its ingredients are gathered from the remotest parts of the "earth anil compounded by skilled chemists even as mysteriously as famous mineral waters are formed. The science of man, competitive chemist skill and acquired medical lore are set at defiance in so far as imitation is concerned. "Tanlac, has and is now proving invaluable in cases of stomach, liver and kidney troubles, as well as ca tarrh. As a general tonic and stomachic for half-sick, run-down, listless men and women, it builds up the system, creates a healthy appe tite, promotes digestion, vitalises the blood, and brings back color to the checks and the sparkle of health to the eyes." The genuine J. I, Gove Co. Tanlac is now sold here by George's Drug Store, Geo. A. Gorgas, Chas. X l '. Kramer, Kennedy Drug Co., W. F. Steever and all leading druggists.
