The city council met in regular se.
•ion last night, every member being
present
The first business brought before the
body waa the report of the special com
mittee appointed last week for the pur
pose of defining the boundary line be
tween the city hall lot and the land ad
joining, which Is owned by the county.
The report was to the effeot that the
narrow strip claimed by both, about
four feet, be deeded to the county upon
condition that the lot between the court
bouse and city ball, owned by both sides
jointly, always remain open; and farther-
more, that ahould the county oommis-
mlsslonera decide to erect the proposed
new jail in the roar of this lot, that the
frontof said building extend no further
westward than the rear end of the city
hall building.
Tho'report was received and adopted.
The report of the committee on Are
department was next handed In.
Alderman Davenport Introduced a
resolution appropriating $200e*ch to the
four companies composing the depart
ment, viz: Wide-Awake, T. Wheatley,
Vigilance and Protection, to be paid
quarterly. Ho was sustained by Alder
men Bivens, Williford, Williams and
Logan.
Alderman Wheatley opposed this ap
propriation, thinking the amount exces
sive, and moved as a substitute that each
company be paid $37.50 quaiterly in
stead of $50, as suggested by Alderman
Davenport.
Considerable discussion followed,
Mayor Felder and the aldermen favor
ing Mr. Davenport's motion taking the
ground that the amount asked for was
not excessive if tho department proved
Itself efficient. All they demanded was
to know that each company was well or
ganized, and that each held regular
meetings and drilled at stated Intervals.
Alderman Davenport consented to
this and altered his resolution so as to
make It Incumbent upon each company
receiving this appropriation to meet
regularly once a month, and to practice
quarterly. Also, that Wide-Awake’s
engine be retained by that company, and
tbat the city bear the expenee of run
ning and keeping the same in repair.
There being no objection to this tho
resolution was unanimously adopted,
and eaoh of the four companies named
above wilt receive an annual approprl a
tlon of $200.
The Independent hoke companies,
some six or eight in number, will tote
their own skillet as heretofore.
A number of bills were read and
ordered paid, after which the meeting
adjourned.

Gentlemen—I have suffered for years
with » kind of tetter, or breaking ont all
over my body, and at time, these small
pimples would terminate In boils. While
traveling In the south last yeari had
occasion to try a bottle of P. P. P.~,
wbloh was recommended to me by a
friend, and to my surprise It helped me
so much that I got alx bottles, and
after taking tbe full contents, I felt
better than I bad since the beginning of
my trouble, and while I have no symp
tom* of the disease returning, I am still
using the wonderful blood medloine at
intervals, and am fully satisfied that 1
will be entirely cured of a disease that
for fifteen years has troubled me. I
cannot expresa my gratitude to you for
so wonderful a benefactor aa your P. P.
P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Boot and Potas
sium.) I am yours truly,

Have you neglected a cough or allowed
your blood to grow impure without
heeding tbe warnings? Be wise In time,
and get tbe world-famed Dr. Pierce a
Golden Medical Discovery, which cures
as well as promises. As a blood renova
tor, a lung healer, and a cure for scrof
ulous taints, it towers above all others,
as Olympus overtops a mole-hill. To
warrant • commodity is to be honorable
and above deception, and a guarantee it
a symbol of honest dealing. You get it
with every bottle of tbe “Discovery."

A Severe Test.
When a manufacturer, from years
observation, has so completely satisfied
himself of tee universal satisfaction giv
en by his prod note, that he feels fully
warranted In selling them under
Uflotto of gaerantoe, It la very natural
to believe that sueh a producer has Im
plicit confidence in the merits of his
goods, and teat, too, not without good
reason. Snob confidence is possessed by
the World's Dispensary Medical associa
tion, of Bnffsloo, N. Y., In Dr. Pierce’s
Family Medicines, and hence hla “Far.
orite Prescription” Is sold by druggists,
as no other medicine for similar pur
poses ever was under a positive guana
tee, that It will In every eaae give satis
faction, or money paid for It will be re
funded. It cures all those distressing
and delicate ailment* and weaknesses
peculiar to women. It Is not neoesaary
to .numerate tbs long catalogue of de
rangements, both functional and organ
ic, of tho female system which this mar-
velous remedy overcomes. They are,
alas! but two well known to most fe
males who have attained womanhood, to
noed more than a hint to make them
plain to their understanding.

It does not matter how yon spell
it—it sounds tbe same whether
you say Cash or Kash, and in
these times it works wonders. We
know whereof we speak, for lo, in
these lust few days onr buyer has
returned from the northern mar
kets and we know what wonders
Kash has worked there, and yon
shall know what wonders Kash
shall work here. This will apply
to small every day trifles as well
as to large specialties.
Do yon use matches? Don’t
you pay fi cents for two boxes
containing two hundred each?
Well, Butler & Berry sell the same
matches at 1 cent a box. Think
of matohes at 1 cent a box!
Maybe you don’t use clothes
pins, but maybe when yon’remem
berthat other storea obarge ten
cents a dozen for them, and yon
find ont here that Bntler & Berry
sell clothespins for I cent a dozen,
yon will realize that the aforesaid
Bntler $ Berry are “Cheap Folks”
all the time in every particular.
Now we have been quietly pre
paring for yon. and the Berry sea
son we con show yon another
wonder that Kash has worked.
Think of beantifnl berry dishes—as
clear as crystal—us bright as dia
mond—not cut glass of course—
but for three oents eaoh—you have
priced the SAtne for 60o. a set-
three oents eaoh at Bntler <fc
Berry’s.
There’s a new wrinkle in onr
stock in the shape of a pretty
plain white ironstone china wash-
stand set—10 pieoes for $2.70.
There are about 2 dozen sets left
—and if you want one, why you
are welcome to the ohoice. There
isn’t any money in the deal for us
—but then you know its a dandy
advertisement. $2.70 for an iron
stone china 10 piece wash-stand
set—of coarse that means at Butler
& Berry’s
When you come down town
again, look in at the additional
counter room we have made—
Glassware, Ornaments of all kinds
—and Lamps—why there’s stacks
of Lamps. Speaking of Lamps—
did yon ever price a Student's
Lamp at any other store?—asked
you $5.00 for one, didn’t they?
Wehavo boen getting $4.50 at the
Artesian Corner for them our
selves. We have them now—we
have lots of them—the fact was—
wo had to buy lots of tbem—bnt
this lot is to sell for $3.90—think
of it—a genuine Student’s Lamp,
$3.90.
