City Coiniell "Will lie AsUcil to Tnko
S.i me Sluirii Action.
At tho meeting of tho city council tonight
Mayor Jennings will call tho attention of tho
ni.inrmen to tho deplorable condition of
llroadway between the Northwestern tracks
tm Thirteenth street bridge. Ho will
urge that Immediate action bo taken to place
the thoroughfaro In proper condition. Tho
street nt this point is almost Impassable for
teams and the city Is likely to havo a dam
age suit on Its hands nt any time unless tho
roadway Ib repaired. Some tlmo ago tho
Illinois Ccntrnl secured the passago of an
ordlnnnco raising the grado of llroadway be
tween Thirteenth street and tho Northwest
ern imrLs. In order that It could lay lt
imnlia npmg9 tho street oil n grade equal io
that of Its bridge. At tho tlmo tho ordinance
was parsed tho Illinois Central agreed to do
whatever grading was necessary to place tno
street In a passablo condition. About this
innii ' i .
unto hiou iuu - , . -
brldgo at Thirteenth street over tho cro.'k
In placo of tho trestle. In order to con
form with tho grade of tho Illinois Central's
tracks tho motor company graded up its ap
proach to tho bridge, with tho result that
on tho south sldo of Its tracks thero Is at
present a deep gully, which, during rainy
venthcr, becomes a regular lake.
Tho Illinois Central officials havo besn
written to nnd requested to fulfill their part
of tho contract and repair tho stredt, but
nothing baa been heard from them yet.
Mayor Jennings Is anxious tnat tho council
shall tako steps tonight to compel tho Illi
nois Central to carry out Its promises.
Another matter to come beforo tho council
tonight will bo the. question of forcing the
different railroads to plank their tracks at
tho several crossings In thu vicinity of
Thirteenth street between Broadway and
Union avenue. Tho resolution Introduced by
Alderman Drown calling for gates at tho
nurllngton'o tracks on South Main street
will also come up for action.
The council is expected to tako somo ac
tion tonight on the Fifth avenue bridge. A
malorlty of tho aldermen favor standing out
. .nnniiinv ho motor company to pay
halt of the cost of the now structure, while
inn minoniy Druoo iu v., UwU. u.
atltfle U ti company will pay the exU
amount that It will cost to make tho brldgo
eufTlclently strong to support tho motor cars.
Thcro are) several other matters to como
before tho meeting tonight and tho session
promlsin to be an Interesting one.

Mrs. M. R. Ilcnton, 706 South 30th street,
oays: "I suffered with kidney trouble for
long time. Of late years I was almost dis
abled and a constant sufferer from rheuma
tism. I had no pcaco by day, nor scarcely
any rest or sleep nt night on account of
backache, rheumatism, nervousness and oth
er distressing and annoying symptoms of
disordered kidneys. I was also troubled
with torpid liver and biliousness. I tried to
got relief by using different kinds of kid
ney and liver remedies, but my troubles re
mained until recently I heard about and
procured some of Morrow's Kld-ne-olds
and Liver-Lax. The use of these remedies
wrought a wonderful change In my physical
and mental condition. In less than a week
I was frco from kidney backache, rheuma
tism and in fact all pain and other symp
toms of kidney and liver troubles."
