REGULAR SESSION
OF CITY COUNCIL
Conscript Fathers Trans-
acted Business Rapid-
ly Last Night.
The city council met in regular
session last night with Mayor pro tem
Woods in the chair and the following
members present:
Aldermen Scales, Hyndman, York,
Hates, Clnpton, Miller ami Johnson,
Marshal Stewart, Recorder Jelfers,
Auditor Burgess, Tax Collector Rob-
inson, Street Overseer Henry, Engi-
neer Elliott and Health Officer Foun-
tain,
After the reading of the minutes,
the reportH of officers were read.
The marshal's report showed twen-
ty-three arrests with tines amounting
to $4t> and costs amounting to
$261.70, with $218.25 collected. The
tax collector's report showed that
$G30.7 1 had been received during
July.
The recorder's report showed twen-
ty-three trials and twenty-two con-
victions. The sexton's rep jrt show-
ed that four graves were opened here
last month, two of them for bodies
brought from the country.
Auditor Burgess reported that Sax-
ton Sutherland had prepared a death
report for Muyor Call, as mentioned
in these columns last week, and that
the death rate for three years hail
been only seven per thousand. Ten
per thousand in. considered a low rate.
For the tire committee, Alderman
Johnson reported the purchase of a
fire team from Col. H. J. Williams of
Dawson. This team was taken on teu
days' trial and it proved satisfactory
in every respect.
For the water committee, Alder-
man Miller reported that a hydrant
was needed near the city barn, that
the residents u: Confederate Avenue,
west of Fifteenth Street, were again
asking for fire protection and that a
similar request was made by the res-
idents of East Tenth Avenue.
The old debate came up again. It
was whether or not the city could
compel the water company to lay
pipes and put in those necessary hy-
drants. The city now has no con-
tract with the water company and it
is understood l y the council that the
city cannot force the water company
t > do this.
It was recalled that the water com-
pany had offered to sell its plant for
$100,000 or at such figure as shall
be determined by a competent engin-
eer and the water committee was in-
structed to again take up this propo-
sition, Alderman Johnson being added
to the committee by request of Alder-
man Hyndman. This committee was
given discretionary power to either
employ an engineer to determine the
value of the waterworks or the cost
of building a new one.
Under the head of reports from
printing committee, Alderman Hynd-
man reported that he had been out of
town for a few days.
For the buildings and grounds com-
mittee, Alderman Scales reported
that screens were needed for the
city's tenant house near the city barn
and that it would cost $8.40 to make
the improvement; the screens were
ordered adjusted.
Upon the report of the finance
committee, warrants were ordered
drawn os follows:

Aldermen Woods, York and John-
son were a special committee on the
delinquent tax matter and they rec-
ommended the acceptance of the fol-
lowing suggestions which were made
to them by City Attorney Mays:
"First, that a fee of ten per cent
be allowed on all amounts paid on
said delinquent taxes prior to the
preparation and advertisement of de-
linquent tax lists for the years 1!K)2
and 1903.
"Second, that a commission of
twenty per cent be allowed
on all amounts paid after said
lists have been published and before
suits are filed on same.
"Third, that a commission of twen-
ty per cent and the fees, as prescrib-
ed by law, be allowed on all amounts

LETTERS FROM WOMEN.
Ml«• Anna Preieott'i I.etter.
Mlra Anna Prescott, In a letter from
21(1 South Seventh street, Minneapolis,
Minn., writes:
" / was completely used up last
fall, my appetite bad failed and I felt
weak and tired all the time. My drug-
gist advised me to try Peruna and the
relief I experienced after taking one
bottle was truly wonderful.
" I continued Its use for five weeks,
and am glad to say that my complete
restoration to health was a happy
surprise to myself as well as to my
friends."—Anna Prescott.
Pe-ru-na a True Frlniil to Women,
Miss Florence Allan, n beautiful Chi-
cago girl, writes the following from 76
Walton Place:
" As a tonic, for a worn out system,
Peruna stands at the head in my esti-
mation. Its effects are truly wonderful
in rejuvenating the entire eysteni. I
keep it on hand all the time, and never
have that ' tired feeling,' as a few doses
always makes me feel like a different
woman."—Florence Allan.
Peruna will he found to effect an im-
mediate and lasting cure in all cases of
systemic catarrh. It acts quickly and
beneficially on thedtseascd mucous mem-
branes, and with healthy mucous mem-
branes the catarrh can no longer ex i.;t.
Peruna MakesTon"F«elUkealfow Person.
Miss Marie Coats, a popular young wo-
man of Appleton, Wis, and President of
the Appleton Young Ladles'Clnb,writes.
" When that languid, tired feeling
comes over you, and your food no longer
tastes good, and small annoyances irri-
tate you, Peruna will make yon feel like
another person inside of a week. „„
" I have now nsed It for three season*,
and find It very valuable and efficaci-
ous."—Miss Marie Coats.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving
full statement of your case, and he will
bo pleased to give yoa his valuable ad-

paid after the institution of suits to
collect delinquent taxes."
The council accepted these as a re-
port from the committee and it was
decided to remit the ten per cent pen-
alty on delinquent taxes which may
be paid before they are published.
This is merely an inducement to have
delinquents pay up and avoid the con-
sequences of a lawsuit for back taxes.
The delinquent lists for 1902 and
15)03, as prepared by Tax Collector
Robinson, were examined and approv-
ed and upon the mayor pro tern's ap-
proval they will be published as soon
as possible in order that tax suits
may be instituted in the district
court at the coming term.
There was considerable argument
on the remission of penalties, but the
application of the policy in this mat-
ter was left entirely with the special
committee on delinquent taxes.
Engineer Elliott reported that a
portable store had been set up in
East Twelfth Avenue at the Ninth
Street crossing and Marshal Stewart
was instructed to clear the street at
this point.
The special committee, appointed
to investigate what streets or parts
of streets in the city were occupied,
asked for further time as Engineer
Elliott has not yet had time to make
a full report in which all infractions
c juld be|shown.
Alderman Miller in behalf of Mr.
A. S. Crews asked that the city fur-
nish piping by which he could con-
nect with the sewer; it is the policy
of the city to encourage such con-
nections and the pipe for a lateral
was ordered placed at Mr. Crews' dis-
posal.
Alderman Johnson reported that
he had purchased a mule for use
in the park and cemetery and a war-
rant for .$100 was ordered drawn in
favor of the county on this account.
Tax Collector Hobinsons new rolls
were presented and showed the city's
tax valuation to be $4,557,244, an
increase over last year of more than
$.'*00,000.
