Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is known by its works. The experience of half a century proves that no other preparation of the kind stops coughing and allays irritation of the throat and bronchial tubes so promptly and effectually as this.

Henry Wilson, the postmaster at Welsh ton, Flordia, says he cured a case of diarrhoea of long standing in six hours with one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholea and Diarrhoea Remedy. What a pleasant surprise that must have been to the sufferer. Such cures are uot unusual with this remedy. In many instances only one or two doses are required to give permanent relief. It can always be depended upon. When reduced with water it is pleasant to take. For sale by M. C. Quigley, Druggist.

Will Thompson, who is attending the Indiana Medical College at Indianapolis was at home over Sunday visiting his parents, Rev. R. W. Thompson and wife.
To-day, Feb. 4th, is quarterly pension day, nd quite a large number of old soldiers went over to Indianapolis to draw their pensions. Hancock ccunfy gets about $57,000 annually.
Dr. M. Y. Shaffer, the veterinarian who has been practicing here for several years, has bought a drug store at Indianapolis, and taken possession of the same. He will move his family there this week. We wish him abundant BUCses
The grand jury was sworn In this morning aud are now settled down to business. Mr. Robert Hurley, of Buckcreek township, was excused on account of being a teacher, aud Deputy Auditor J. L. Smith selected in his stead. Judge Offutt selected Taylor Morford, of tkis city, as foreman. Joe Hamilton is bailiff.
Mr. P. H. Boyd says he was up on Sugarcrtek yesterday and saw where they were cutting elegant ice a foot thick. He said he drove across the ice several times and that it was smoother driving than ou land. We accused Mr. Boj of being on a fishing spree, but he denied it aud said he never went fishing.
Neal Webb, an employee at the glass works, was very severely burned in the face by a gas explosion last Friday. He was attempting to fix a gas regulator at his home when the gas ignited and exploded with the above results. Gas is a wonderfully fine thing, but it is also very dangerous and frequently deadly if not handled with the greatest care.
County Officers' Salnrie*.
Under the fees and salary law which was recently declared unconstitutional so far bS Auditors, Treasurers and Recorders were concerned Hancock county officials were rated as follows:
Auditor $2200. Clerk $2000. Treasurer $1800. Sheriff $1800. Recorder $1400. But in the case of the Clerk, Sheriff and Recorder, their fees received in the office at the regular rates had to equal the amount of the salary allowed or they did not receive that amount, but only as much as the fees came to. The fee bill which the present Republican legislature will probably pass, is generally taking $100 off of the auditors salary and adding it to that of the sheriff, who in most counties was poorly paid as compared with other officials.
Cut Um Throut.
Jacob Eversou of New Palestine cut his throat and left wrist with a sharp pocket knife Monday morning while still in bed. His family were eating bieakfast. He wae one of New Palestine's respected citizens and no cause is known for the rash act. For several yeais, however, he has at times been somewhat out of his miud, aud no doubt committed the deed in a fit of despondency. He was not dead at our last report, byt his physician Dr. Buschel said that he would die.

Boyd of Noblesville. They had a special coach attached to the 8:45 a. m. train east. There were quite a number of ladies in the party.
Miss Ella, the eighteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morris Cleary, who live three miles south of Greenfield, died Monday at 7 p. m. from consumption. She was bright, attractive, intelligent and a very pretty girl. Her loss is a sad blow to her parents, brothers and sisters. This is the third child the family have lost by consumption in the last two years and they indeed have the sympathy of many friends. The funeral will occur Thursday morning and the remains then taken to the Catholic cemetery in Indianapolis for burial.
We have received a copy of the Columbus semi weekly REPUBLICAN of February 2nd, which indeed presents a handsome appearance. It is a New Year's edition and is a magnificent paper. It gives a history of Columbus and Bartholomew county with pictures and sketches of a large number of the representative business men, among whom we recognized many familiar friends and acquaintances. We commend Messrs. Haigh & Cochran, for their enterprise in so handsomely advertising their city, its merchants and manufacturers and their business.
Rev. Thomas Stabler, D. D., of the M. E. church was at Indianapolis yesterday to attend the ministers meeting to consider the Nicholson Temperance bill now before the Legislature. A large room in the Y. M. C. A. Building was full of ministers who were decidedly in favor of the bill, especially the ninth section, which practically gives the people of a township or ward local option. Dr. Stabler says he has never seen the people so thoroughly roused on the temperance question since 1854, when by a fusion movement a State prohibitory law was passed which lasted six months or until a Democrat Supreme Court decided the 1 iw unconstitutional.
Lieut. S. V. Ham went to Knightstown this morning to bid his friend, Miss Hinchman good-bye. He returned at 11 o'clock. He leaves in the morning for his post in the west, Fort Huachuca, Arizona. He will carry many fond rememberances of his winter's visit in Greenfield, as he says friends here have been very kind to him in the way* of social pleasures. He hopes to again return to see his parents and renew the many pleasant associations with friends here, but as a United States soldier it will be two years before he can secure another extensive furlough. The REPUBLICAN wishes him a safe journey and a happy time at his western post, where the climate is delightful, as it is almost summer the year round.
H. B. Thayer's New Block.
We have seen ths plans and specifications for H. B. Thayer's new block on State street, in architect John H. Felt's office. The building is to be 40 by 82 feet, two stories and a basement. The first floor and basement will both be nnected with Mr. Thayer's present room
on Main street and wiil make the entire
.i iun. onn
room thus connected, a little over 200 feet long. The new front on State street will be o( stone and granite brick and will be without doubt the handsomest in the city.
Always keep your eye on Spot Cash if you want your money to go the farthest.

A NJ5W CITY BUILDING.
What a Number of Our Representative
BUSINESS MEN TLIMK O
S. (x White—City buildings should be built from a business stand point. What we want is a city building that would be decent and respectable for a city of this size, and that we are not in a shape to build at present. I do not like the proposed location on North s-treet at all, because it is uor. where a stranger would see it, an therefore would not advertise our city abroad What we want is broad, clean streets, well kept, handsome buildings, so tbat f-eople will understand that we are wide awake and progressive. No, never put a city building where you would not be willing to build a business room.
V. L. Early—I am always in favor of public improvement, but I don't believe it is practicable to go iu debt for a city building at this time. I go on the theory that it is better to go without some things we can get along without, than to contract a big debt which will be a burden to the tax payers for years to come. If the city had the money, I would say all right. But I think the city is carrying as large a debt at present as they can.
Ham L. Strickla —I atn heartily iu favor of a new city building, but don't think it would be to best interests of the city to build on her lot on North street. It is not in a public place and would be very ineonvenieu to the public. I think the building should be west of State street. A new building would help the city in a great many ways.
W. A. Hu«hes—It would be a good tbiug for the city to put up a new build ing, but it should be made a modern building—one iu which each city officer could have a private office, and a council chamber which would be large enough to conveniently seat a Inrge audience. I don't think the city lot on North street is a desirable location for the kind of city building that is needed here, but the city is not financially able to do much better at present: still we had better put one there thau to not have any.
J. Hinchman—I don't think it is best to build a city building at present. It would be better to put up a school house instead of having to rent one. When we build a city building we must put up one that wiil met the demands for years to come At present I don't think the city can afford to put up such a building.
Arthur Wilkius—Yes, I am in favor of the proposed new city building, but I don't think it should be elected ou Ner
street, as it is too much out of the way.
The building should be pur where it the most convenient for the general public. The city should put up a building that would accommodate the public as well as the city officer?, and also be the headquarters for the fire department. A nice plan would be to have the building near the center of population, as the lower room could be used for a business room—say the post office.
Judge Offutt—If the financial condition of the city is such that it can put up a building that the citizens would be proud of and one that would be a credit to the city, I would say, go ahead. I don't know how the finances of the city are, but I don't believe we can put up t.he kind of a building we should. I don't believe in doiug things by halves. When we put up a building let's do it right.
John Miller—We ought to have it. we need it—The proposed location is central and we need the building. The rents the city is payiug will more than pay the interest on a good building and put the fire department in much better shupe.
to have a new building. John Duncan—1 am in favor of a city buildiug We need it, and the rent we are now paying for poor accommodations would pay the interest on a building that would suit us all right.
I. P. Poulson—If we are a city we should have a city building. Harry Regula—A city building, oh pshaw! What we need is a new school house.
E. P. Thayer, Jr.—I am opposed to the proposed location. The Board of Trade and eitizens generally have been doing what they could to boom our city and now when the city has a chauce to put up something that will be a credit to Greenfield, it does not want to hide it
away
This is the time Tea.
It.
The REPUBLICAN interviewed a number of our business meu Tuesday on the subject of a new city building, and this is what they say:
E. S. Bragg—If the city is able' to build it I am in for it, us we need some thing of the kind badly A city building might not pay as an inv-estuieut, but if we can build one that, woul-1 be a credit and an honor to Greenfield, then go ahead. What we do need, though, aud what I am decidedly in favor of, is a sewerage system.
t1ou aU(]
Wm. Driscliel—I think the city ought jfftUCks
.* ,fVr
doing better someday, as we certainly can not build the kind of a building now that wo ought to have.
J. Ward Walker—I do not. think the Council stiould allow a few dollars to stand in the way of a first class location and a building that would be an honor aud a credit to our city. The building will not be for this- month or this year, but for many years to come. The North I street location is not the one for the city building.
Lee C. Thayer—I think it would be foolishness to build a new city building now. The best thimr to do is to get out of debt before building houses. We need sewerage wors? th«n we need a city building. WUen the city does build it should get a public location where a good building would show off and be of advantage to our city in advertising us abroad. It would be very nice for the city officers to have A No 1 offices, but we can wait until we can build properly.
Frank S. Hammed—I th'nk we need a uevr school building worse than we do a city hall. When we do build though it snouid be iu a style that we would not be ashamed or.
H. Thayer—We elect the Council to attend to that business aud they are all good men. If we have the stuff, the thing to do is to build the building. The proposed location is a poor one aud should be bettered. A city building should be acredit to our city and should not be put where people will not see it.
Eph Marsh—I atn opposed to building" the kind of a building tiie Council is considering at present. I am favor of building a tity hali that will be in keeping with the general tendency of the times aud Greenfield's well-known reputation for progress and advancement. When, we do build a city hall let it redound to our honor and glory.
J. W. Cooper—We ought to have a city building—modern and up to date. There could be a better location, however, than the proposed one on North St.
We to-day again present the views of anumber of business men in regard to the proposed city building. The general opinion seems to prevail that a building should not be erecttd until one can be built that would answer the purposes of the city officers, a mayor's court, a fire department ami ai me t-ame time be such a building as w_uM be a worthy monument to the public spirit and enterprise o£ a city the size and character of Greenfield. The North street location is unpopular because it is hemmed iu between otuer buildings The G. A. 11 W. It. C. atul S. of V.
