Tho buying of an engine meets with the approval of all except a few of tho people of town, as the necessity of protection for Hill property is well known; but the methods taken by one-half of council to purchaso tills engine are not creditable to the men who lent their aid to the railroad ing of the scheme. To say the least, the haste shown in this purchase, and the shutting out of all other offers, was not warranted by tho circumstances; nevertheless no fault will be found if the engine 19 capable of doing its intended work when the occa sion arises, even though its purchase was In the interests of a political machine and not for tho benofit of the FIIII.

A powerful engine cannot he run with a weak boiler, and wo can't keep up the strain of an active life with a weak stomach; neither can we stop the human machine to make repairs.

Recent experiments show that all classes of foods may be completely di gested by a preparation called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which absolutely digests what you eat. As it is the only combi nation of all the natural digestants ever devised the demand for it has become enormous. It has never failed to cure th* very worst cases of indigestion and it always gives instant relief. Grover's City drug store.
