The city council met last night In ad

Into the municipal coffers I1HS.742. Deduct
ing the usual 10 per cent reserve, there
will be available for warrants at the com
mence of the fiscal year, August 1, $147,867.
The appropriation ordinance shows the
amount to be distributed among the vari

There was a marked cutting down In
some of the funds as compared with the

CATARRH
A UNIVERSAL DISEASE
Catarrh usually begins with a cold ia
the bead, but doea nut atop there. The
mucous membranes all become inflamed
and accrete a filthy, unhealthy matter
which ia absorbed by the blood and dis
tributed o all parti of the body. The
patient is then continually hawking
and spitting, the nose ia stopped up,
the ears have a ringing or buzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and as the un
healthy matter more thoroughly satu
rates the blood a general feeling of des
pondency takes possession ol the system.
I had Catarrh for about fifteen years,
and no man could hava been worse. I

Bnyinai Voting; Machines,
Tt appears to be the plan of the city
officials to combine with the county offi
cials In the purchase of voting machines.
With this end in view a committee was
named last night at the meeting pf tha
council to confer with the' county authori
ties today. It Is expected by thla commit
tee that the county will agree to purchase
three voting machines for Bouth Omaha
and that the city will provide five. These
machines are to cost 80 each. South
Omaha has now six wards, and with only
eight machines In sight the voting pre
cincts will have to be cut from twelve to
eight The heavy voting Is done In the
First, Second and Sixth wards. This will
mean that the voting districts will have
to be changed, but there is no possibility
of changing the ward lines. With voting
machines It Is asserted that 600 may vote
In a district. This cutting up of the vot
