STRUCK A SNAG.
THE ACTION OF THE COUNCIL
VETOED BY THE MAYOR.
jower and Cirowls all Along the Line
—A LOIISession and
Little Done.
The city legislature met at the usual time and plaee Monday night, and the rowing eommenced almost immediately, or as soon as the clerk had finished the delectable tasU of reading the minutes of the last three meetings. He had incorporated into the serial the fact that he had presented the telephone resolution to the Mayor'at 11:•() o'clock, precisely on the 27th day of the present month, and Mr. Da vis promptly registered a kick, and all joined in until the Mayor called them down, and informed them that the City Attorney woidd pass on the question. He decided that the particular words had no business in the minutes, and after a jangle of some length the minutes were lixed up to ihi" satisfaction of the most fastidious Solon and were passed up as correct.
The Mayor then informed them he .had a little matter which lie desired to present to their consideration through the medium of the clerk. All htraightened up and strained their ears. The matter proved to be a veto of the action of the council on last
Monday night. When it was read a blind, deaf and dumb man would .have known that none of the council /had ever been in congress, and if parliamentarians were required to hold a seat there, none of the present council will ever write "M. (V after itheir names. For some minutes they were dazed. They did not know just what had struck them. Mr. Davis undertook the task of arguing with the Mayor, but that failed to head the thing off. The ghost finally walked and the matter was passed over the the veto by the following vote: Ayes
Smith, Nolan. Hutton. Thompson and Davis. Nays, Binford, Naylor and Morgan.
Excuses of absentees were called for and Mr. Smith responded that at the last meeting he was absent from the city. The Mayor pronounced the excuse a good one.
Mr. Binford presented an amendment to the garbage ordinance, reserving the right of the city to reject any or all bids. Mr. Davis, did some more artistic kicking and demanded that the matter lie referred just as his had been, and called for the ayes and noes on the amendment which he offered. It was a tie vote, and the Mayor voted with the noes and the ordinance being an emergency one was shot through in a hurry, fill voting for it. •,
Another car load of stone was ordered for the entertainment of the city's prisoners. The Board of Public Improvement reported that the •Clerk had been instructed to issue a permit to the Central Union Telephone
Company to set poles for their wires, and that they had filed the necessary
lond with Col. 1. C. Elston as surety. It was also recommended that the street commissioner be instructed to clean the gutters throughout the city.

A Disgusted Woman. It isn't any wonder that sonu- women gx-t disgusted
with medicine and lose faith iu the doctors. When a woman
y*WC. VVJtVIl II »UlUUIi
complains of feeling' weak, nervous and despondent, and suffers from headaches, pains in the back/and stitches in the sides and burning, drag:giug-down sensations, the average physician will attribute these feelings to heart, stomach or liver trouble. For years, possibly, she takes their prescriptions for these ailments without receiving any benefit, then, in final disgust, she throws away drugs, and hopelessly lett matters take their course. A woman whe suffers in this way is almost invariably a sufferer from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism. There is an unfailing and inexpensive cure for all troubles of this description. It is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate organs concerned, making them well and strong. It heals all internal ulceration and stops debilitating drains. It takes the pressure off the nerves and makes them strong and steady. Undei
marvelous merits thousands of women have been made healthy, happy and robust. The "Favorite Prescription" restores weak, nervous, pain-racked women and makes strong, healthy, capable wives and mothers. With its use all pain and suffering disappear. All g^ood medicine stores sell have nothing else "just as good."
Constipation and torpid liver will make most ambitious man or woman utterly r-' f-pod for nothing. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets cure them. One little Pellet is a gentle laxative and two a mild cathartic. Pierce's 1000-page illustrated book,

Dr. Taylor, of the Board of Health, reported that all the diphtheria cases were convalescing and no new ones reported. There had been some cases of cerebro spjnal meningitis, of which two had died. He recommended that the alleys, backyards, vaults, wells, etc., be cleaned at one. lie reported that smallpox was virulent among the colored people of Louisville, and such would 110 doubt cause a panic among that race. He recommended that Policeman Dickerson lie instructed to keep an eye on the colored people coming from that city to Crawfordsville and report at once. He referred the question of free lights for the Secretary's oilier to the council for settlement.
Dr. Morgan reported the sanitary condition at the Mills school building bad, that the cold air shaft was taking air oil of a pool of stagnant water. I The Mayor was instructed to issue !a proclamation ordering a general cleaning up.
The racket wa^ stirred up again when Mr. Thompson offered an ordi nance anu proposed that it lie passed at once. It was finally after a lot of I wrangling referred to the committee, as was a second ordinance presented by him, dlowing liquor dealers to pay the $250 license fee in two installI ments.
The committee 011 the sale of the electric light plant, begged for three weeks' more time. It was decided that when the committee was ready it :Id report to the Mayor, who would call a meeting.
Dr. Morgan presented an ordinance in reference to the refunding of the electric light bonds, correcting a mistake the committee had made in selling the wrong bonds.
Dr. Morgan maue a report for the finance committee in which he reported the amount paid out for salaries to be $16,450: water -?ii,110. In" terest, $2,625 all of these with slight variations. He did not give theexact figures. He found the appraisement of property to be $8,80(5,720, on which there should be $38,087 in taxes collected, but between $2,000 and $.'5,000 of this was not collected. He showed that the city was falling behind and recommended an application of business methods in city affairs.
The City Attorney announced that the cases against the Central Union Telephone Company had been dismissed.
Mr. Smith called up the Plum street opening, and moved that the Treasurer be instructed to make a tender of the amount of damagi assessed and collect the benefits. This called for more eloquence and was finally settled by a call of the roll, the Mayor giving the casting vote, declaring that as the matter was now in litigation that it should remain in statu quo for the present.
There were 14(5 dead head lights reported, and a motion madetocollect for them after April. Mr. Davis amended the motion by letting th« 101 lights in the Y. M. C. A. le free, and made an eloquent and touching appeal for that institution and its poverty. But after all, his amendment failed and Mr. Smith's motion went through. The light committee will make some fair arrangement with the Y. M. C. A.
The city engineer reported his estimate 011 the city's part of the new cement walks at $600, and 011 sidewalks in various parts of the city at $70. Mr. Smith served notice 011 the council that at the next meeting he would introduce some legislation which demanded promt and decisive action, and asked them to be prepared for it.
Mr. Binford expressed the opinion that as the city had so many livery bills to pay, that it would be the proper thing to have a "hurry up" cart of their own, and as Officers Brothers and McCoy had offered to furnish a horse and buggy if the citywould shelter the outfit and feed the horse he thought the municipality could afford to agree to it. All the rest thought so and the motion prevailed.
Accounts were allowed and the council adjourned.

REASONS.
For the Major's Veto of the Councils'
Action.
Following the reading of the minutes at last nights council meeting the mayor presented through the clerk the resolution adopted at the called meeting of last Monday night as regards the C. V. Telephone Co. and voted the same as follows:
I hereby object to the above and foregoing resolution and hereby veto the same. My objections are as follows: 1st- That the Central Union Telephone Company has 110 franchise which gives it the right to use the streets and alleys of the city of Crawfordsville, set poles and string wires thereon and operate a telephone system. 2nd That said company forfeited its franchise and rights under the or dinance adopted Dec. 19, ISN1. Tt shall not be permited to use the streets and alleys without asking for and obtaining a franchise from said city with proper limitations as to time it shall run and the amount said company should charge the people for'phones, and a compensation to the city. .'5d. Thai if said motion and resolotion stands as now adopted it surrenders and abandon all advantages which the city now has by reason of the repeal of said company's old franchise adopted Dec. 19.1S81. and which lixes 110 limit of any kind as to time or amount said company shall charge for phones. lth. It surrcnderS'^all a 1\ mt iges the city now has. It is against the best interests of the public and gives to the city no benefits whatever. •0. W. EI.MORK, Mayor.
