The Ladies’ Literary Society reported $953 subscribed toward the purchase of the Milroy property facing the Washington street bridge for a public park. On motion of Councilman Ferguson it was voted that the city purchase the plat of ground for a public park for the city and that it be called Milroy park. Said purchase to be subject to a good title made to the city by the grantors at the price of SI9OO, provided the subscriptions of the citizens be raised to the amount of SI,OOO, the said amount to be collected by the Ladies’ Literary Society or their order, and that the city be able to make such terms for the payment of the S9OO as will be satisfactory with the present condition of the finances of the city. The balance of the money will be raised at once and the grounds purchased. J. C. Carmichael was granted permission to erect an iron covered frame building on the ground in the rear of the Horton building. A petition for an arc light at the creamery bridge was referred to the light committee. The city attorneys made a report upon the remonstrance of W. H. Eger et al, in regard to the Plum street side walk ordered at a previous meeting. He reported that the council had the right to order such improvement. Therefore the walk will have to be built, but the council has given the property owners permission to repair the walk, with the understanding that the new walk is to be built in the spring.

Ellis Walton made a proposition to sell a strip of his lot adjoining the city plant to the city for SIOO. The strip is forty-five feet in length and two feet in width and is at the rear of the lot. The proposition was rejected and the city attorney was instructed to make a written agreement with Mr. Walton to ratify a verbal agreement made with Councilman Parks, in which Mr. Walton agreed to arbitrate the matter.

Three years ago our son Harry had inflammatory rheumatism. He had suffered so much that I believe if we had not given him Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills which relieved him almost instantly he would have died. lam always glad of the opportunity for praising Dr. Miles’ Remedies.”— James Evertt, Alton, Ills. “I was afflicted with neuralgia for years and never found any permanent relief till I began using Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills.

The headache was gone. We use them in the family and find them excellent for the women folks. This high altitude makes them very nervous.
