Appointments.

City And I tor Warns Members Ac Inst
Overdrafts Faults Plan to Hold
Carnival- Assessor's Booka
Are Ready.
The new city council last night after
listening to the mayor's message and con
firming his appointments disposed of a
large amount of routine and otner matters
in a business-like manner and with con
siderable dispatch. beveral important
matters were referred to the committee of
the whole and a meeting to consider the'm
will be held Thursday afternoon.
At the meeting of the committee of the
whole the recommendations and sugges
tions contained in the mayor's mesxage will
be considered.
Mayor Maloaey's Mesaaae.
The mayor In his message said:
To the Members of the City Council,
Gentlemen: As this is our tirst meeting
of the new council, where mere will be any
'uusiuess tianaacvfd and nrougnt up, t
wisn to present to you the following ques
tions, wiiicn, in my Judgment, demand Ini
nieuiate attention.
First, one or tne matters which properly
cullies before you lor your consiueranon,
is the question ot waterworks. This ques
tion has been agitated from every stand
point lor the lui six years, 'inere Is no
reason, in my judgment, wny tne system
huuia not be Immediately extended to tne
bill ana bouom disnicts, to atlord them
fire protection and water service. How this
la to be accomplished should be determined
by you. The tirst coslderation is natura.ly
whether wa have the funds to acquire a
plant for the city at tne present time. That
matter is in court now, but how long 1( will
take to settle 1 don't know. The second,
how can we acquire that plant most ad
vantageously ana speedily tor the city.. To
this question you should give your early
attention and your best business Judgment,
to the end that the present unfortunate
situation can come to an end, and that a
staisfactory one to yourself and to our
people.
As to Indian creek, my position is well
known. 1 have recommended In the past
that the system of tunne.lng at the edge of
the city limits is the only feasible way to
dispose of this matter. The last council's
action In the matter consisted In instruct
ing the city engineer to make surveys and
find the cost of constructing a tunnel. It
la Important that this work should be Im
mediately completed, and if. In your Judg
ment, the action of the past meets with
your approval, I believe that Immediate
action should be taken by you gentlemen.
As to the extension of the street car sys
tem, the growth of our city and the wants
of the people have made the extension of
the street car syBtem a necessity, and for
that reason the council should Insist upon
such extensions as are necessary.
In reference to repavlng Broadway, this
Important matter should not be delayed.
Last year the motor company In making
repairs at the Intersection of Pearl street
and Broadway, on a request from the
mayor and city council, replaced the old
granite with Purlngton block, and this is
such a vast Improvement over the uneven
rock pavement that it met with the ap
proval of the business men of the city. I.
therefore, recommend to you, gentlemen of
the council, that you will take auch Imme
diate action In this matter aa well repave
such portion of Broadway as In your judg
ment will be necessary for the betterment
of the business Interests of the city.
In the next two years there win ha
good many important matters come up for
VOl 1 r rnnalrlwrafinn In lha V. - n i
provitnerrts and things of that kind. I
would recommend that any proposition be
fore the council, amounting to over 1200 or
any ordinance granting right of ways or
anything of that kind, should be laid over
ror one ween after It is nrenentert n th
council, before there is any discussion on
It. , ,
The mayor announced his reappointment
of the following:
City phyeiclan, Dr. R. B. Tubbs.
City electrician, E. J. McKinley.
Street commissioner, T. J. Flood.
superintendent . of market u'lin.n.
niggeson.
Custodian of city hall. Andrew Hansen
Police health officer, Peter Smith.
I ne mayor stated he would defer his
appointment of a chief of police, poll tax
collector .and pound master.
City Auditor McAneney In a communica
tion ,to. the council warned them against
any overdrafts ln the appropriations for
the maintenance of the different municipal
departmenta for the ensuing fiscal year,
, City Auditor's Report.
city Auditor McAneney'a communication
was as follows:
I have, with the assistance nf th retir
ing city council, attempted to clean up as
u fxissioia an claims aga nst the c iv

uuauy S.U oi tne ko,3ou or general fund ap

Too Commonly Uasd.
The use of pasty cereals Is not advis
able. A physician saya: "Pasty cereals are
very Indigestible and a bad thing for the
stomach, causing a depressed feeling and
quite a train of disorders, particularly of
the intestines and nerves.
Cereals, auch as wheat and oata, can
be cooked long enough and well enough
to fit them for human use, but the ordi
nary way of cooking leavea them In a
paaty condition."
A cntlman from Evansvllle, Ind.,
says:
My physcian prohibited the use of
oats and wheat, for I was in a bad con
dltlon physically, with pronounced dys

"He said the heavy paste waa Indl

thoroughly cooked food and conked in
auch a manner as to change the atarch
into a peculiar sugar, could be easily

Lawrence. Kans. I was a jrreat sufferer from a weakness
irregular periods, headaches, backaches and otiier femalo trou
bles, which caused a weak and broken-down condition of tho
system. My vide was so sore I could not lie on it. I saw in my
daily paper that Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was
good for all female troubles and had done so much for other
suffering women, so I felt sure it would help me, and it has
helped me wonderfully. I got relief from the first bottle. My.
aches and pains all left me and us I continued taking the Com
pound I grew stronger. Within three months I was a perfectly
well woman, and I want this letter made public to show what
benefits women may derive from Lydia 12. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound." Mrs. Julia A. Snow, Itoute No. 8, Lawrence, Kans.

fashioned roots and herbs method has never been improved
upon. The fact that this leader of them all Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is to-day the largest
seller of any similar medicine in the world, is proof positive
of its value and superiority, for with all our enterprise and
advertising we could not keep fooling the people for 30 '
years. Merit and merit alone is what nas made Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound the standard medicine for
treating diseases peculiar to women. - ' .
