The provision for further electric ; street lights and longer service. ) The regular monthly installment of bills were allowed and ordered paid. I The council ordered the purchase of 100 'feet of tile to be installed on In-' dlana avenue for drainage purposes. Necessary repairs and fixtures were; ordered purchased by the council, the committee on water works to have charge of the matter. Chairman Krost of the light , com-j rnlttee reported that committee were ' making an exhaustive investigation j Into the matter of all night service in Crown Point, but were not ready to make their final report on the matter.

Most old people must give to the frowels some regular help, else thev offer from constipation. The -condition is perfectly natural. It Is just as natural as It !s for old people to walk slowly: For. age Is never so active as youth. The muscles are less tattle And it bowels are muscles. So alt old people need Cascareta. One might as well refuse to aid weak eye a-14 to weak bowels. .The bowels must be kept active. This Is Important at all ages, bul never so much as at fifty. Age Is not a time for harsh phyBlcs. Youth may occasionally whip tho bowels Into activity. But aan can'i be used every day. What the bowels of the old need is a gentle .nd natural t':nic. One that can be constantly used w.'.hout harm.

A report on the reading of meter at the Crown Point water works was read and approved and filed with the clerk. A committer composed of Councilmen Krost, Vincent and Salisbury was appointed by the mayor to confer with the city engineer relative to procuring plans and specifications for the remodeling of the city hall, to submit report at next meeting. .The resignation of Mrs. George S. M. Beck of the library board was accepted and Mrs. Maftie C. Gibbs was appointed to fill the vacancy. A committee from the fire department was present to present bills for salaries due, but owing to the fact that there is some question as to the department's legal Incorporation in the past, th4 matter was taken under advisement. New articles of incorpora
tion will probably be drawn by the fire
company, embracing many new fea
tures, and the matter adjusted at the
next meeting of the council.
The question of the purchase of a
typewriter for city use was discussed.
but finally tabled.
The council adjourned . at 11 o'clock.
The city will In all probability pur
chase a team of horses and suitable apparatus, for fire service during the coming year, which plan will follow out that advocated by The Times in many of its issues. The team can be kept busy with city work n places convenient to the fire engine house during the day, while In the evening it will be stationed at the engine house. Crown Point has been lucky with regard to fires In the past, .but that is no sign that the luck will necessarily continue, and with Its many beautiful and expensive homes spread out over much territory, the present fire fighting facilities as regards apparatus " are Inadequate and somewhat antiquated. A better fire apparatus will necessarily decrease insurance rates and give Crown Point citizens a sense of security that ought to amply pay for the additional expense to the city. The department will also lop off many heads and decrease the force, which will decrease the expense of the department itself to the city. Train sheds of' good construction are promised by the Pennsylvania railroad for the welfare of its patrons In Crown Point. Ample weather protecting facilities will be provided for during the coming year and the patrons of the road who have heretofore been obliged to wait In the worst kind of weather, unprotected, for the approach of trains, especially westbound, will be given relief from the practice.
The Pennsylvania' railroad Is exhibiting a desire to cater to the comforts of its patrons to a degree not shown ta the past, and their attention Is one that Is being well received by the
fsmieuaity , v - - .!
