WARM SESSION
OF COUNCIL
Members and Spectators In
dulge in Loud Talk.
Interesting Debate Cut Off
by Extinguishing the Elec
tric Lights—No Decided
Action on Light.
Tho regular session of the borough
council was held Monday evening with
all members present except Mr. Ilincer.
In the ahsonce of Secretary Sweenoy,
Mr. McLaughlin was chosen pro tetn.

ery, 81.75. Bills of tho Freeland Water
Co., for 831.50 and 8120, and James
Kennedy, no amount, wore laid over.
Tho resolutions adopted by tho citi
zens at tho recent mass meeting wore
presented and read. Geo. Brown, Esq.,
presented a supplemental petition signed
by many citizens which was also read.
Both documents wore accepted and
taken up after routine business was
finished.
Tho July report of Burgess Boyle
showed the total receipts to bo 820.10;
$0 00 duo burgess and 813.50 duo bor
ough.
Chief of Police O'Donnell's report was
approved and police expenditure of
8144 60 was ordered paid.

In sinking fund.
Tho special light committee, through

Information secured from secretaries of
different municipalities regarding prices
paid for streot lights. Figures from
thirteen towns showed that they paid
from 850 to $82.50 per light per year,
with contracts varying in length from
one to ten years.
Messrs. McLaughlin and P. G. Gal
laghor criticized tho report, contending
that tho committee failed to make rec
ommendations to council, as instructed.
J. J. McMenamin, on behalf of tho
citizens' meeting committee, explained
fully tho motives of the committee. His
remarks were followed by the reading
of tho citizens' petition, which came to
council in practically the same form as
published in Friday's Tribune
A motion by Mr. McNeils that the
recommendations contained in tho peti
tion bo enacted into ordinances received
the votes of Win. Gallagher and Mc-
Neils, tho remaining eight voting no.
A motion by P. G. Gallagher to refer
tho recommendations to the ordinance
committee was carried by a vote of 8 to
2, Messrs. McLaughlin and McNeils
opposing it.
However, beforo this vote was takon
tho discussion on the motion was exceed
ingly bitter, and In addition to mombors
of council several spectators, after re
ceiving the privleges of tho lloor, spoke
freely on tho recommendations in
general. Among those who took an
active part in the debate were Council
men McLaughlin, McNeils, Gallagher
and Crawford and Tax Collector Malloy,
ex-Burgess J. M. Gallagher and Attorney
Brown.
Personalities wore indulged In by
Messrs. Crawford and McNeils, brought
on by revolations of the methods alleged
to bo used by agents of tho Electric
Light Company in procuring votos for
the propositions made to council. Sweep
ing charges of indirect bribery wore
make by Mr. McNeils in reply to in
sinuations of Mr. Crawford that the op
position to the light contract was not
sincere.
Just as tho debate had reached a point
where the hundreds of spectators looked
for a confirmation or denial of tho
rumors of wholesale bribery of councll

Company, theelectriclights In tho build-

dents will give them a befitting recep
tion.
Scientific Diet for Nervous People.
Schulc, writing on mental diseases,
asks, "Ih our civilization to blame for
this neurotic condition?" and the an
swer is In the affirmative. llow can
nutrition prosper in the body where
malnutrition holds full sway? And
how can people be happy and healthy
when worry dominates their lives?
For In this human being the lower offi
cers of the nervous hierarchy draw
their very breath at the bidding of the
higher powers, and the relation Is ver
ily reciprocal, for to keep the brain
healthy the unconscious nervous func
tions must be kept in good shape, prop
er activities alternating with wisely
arranged periods of repose.
Just as soon as one notices the ap
proach of nervous Irritability systemat
ic nerve rest will shorten an attack,
and by rest I mean to have the patient
go to bed and have massage. The
amount of exercise undergone In a
good scientific massage is equal to a
walk of two or three miles a day, and
It goes without saying that such pas
sive exercise should increase the appe
tite, and the food Ingested and enjoyed
will be digested and assimilated. I use
tho word "enjoy" deliberately, because
there are some nervous Invalids who
cannot .enjoy their food unless in soli
tude. In addition to the massage I
would recommend salt rubs, which are
very easy to give. Have a saturated
solution of cominon'tnble Salt. Rub
the body briskly, especially from the
spine outward toward the sides of the
body and as soon as the skin Is well
reddened wash off! with moderately
cool water, and the chances are nil In
favor of restful condition. In case per
sons suffer from cold feet at night I
would advise tlie bathing of the feet In
cold water before going to bed and
having a hot water bag always ut
hand.
Lettuce, celery, splnnch, onions, are
nil vegetables especially valuable to a
person of nervous temperament, and
milk hot or cold Is Invaluable.—Pil

THE PRESIDENT
Of the City Council, Wilkes
barre, Pa., Cured of
Rheumatism.
Col. Wm. J. Harvey, a president of
Wilke9barro's city council, who will
long bo remembered for his great work
for the city, was once a mere physical
wreck, torn In every muscle and nerve
from the frightful pairfs caused by rheu
matism. He consulted the best physi
cians, wont abroad, took mud baths,
aud almost every known treatment for
the disease. One of the city officials
had had a very similar experience and
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
had cured him, so ho recommended this
great kidney medicine to hl9 friend,
and Col. Harvey is today a well man,
hale and hearty. In his own abrupt
way he states hie case:
Dr. David Kennedy,
Dear Sir:—This is to certify that I
was permanently cured of rheuma
tism by the use of Dr. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy.
Wm. J. Ilarvey.
Nothing could bo more direct or more
to the point than this simple statoment.
Rheumatism is but another name for
uric acid poisoning which is caused pri
marily by diseased kidneys. Cure your
kidneys and the rheumatism disappears.
For all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep
sia and chronic constipation, as woll as
sicknesses peculiar to women, Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorito Remedy is unques
tionably the greatest medicine known to
tho medical profession.
