Thinks We Had Better Go Slow.

Editor Republican: Rensselaer is one of the most enterprising little cities there is anywhere. It is growing rapidly in population, wealth and improvements. One thing that has helped this city out wonderfully is that many of our farmers have retired from their farms and have brought their families and located here They own nice homes, help to improve the city, help the schools and assist in every way to build up the city. Our people are enterprising. Water works of sufficient capacity to meet the needs of the city for many years, have been put in. An electric light plant, which belongs to the city, has also been put in. We nave a court house which would do honor to any people. These and many other things have been done to make this city one of the nicest places there is, or can be, to live in, but these improvements have not been fully paid for. Therefore those in authority must ever keep in mind two things, viz: Ist. What we owe must be paid. 2nd. Our citizens must not be too heavily burdened with taxation and other public burdens. The streets which the City Council have given notice of their intention to improve, will, if improved as stated in the published notices, cost the city about $3,000 for the street and ally crossings. This is on the basis that it will cost one dollar per foot to the property on each side the street. From information obtained from the last published statement of the city’s finances and for information from one of the councilmen, it would exhaust the treasury to pay this amount. Under the law the city cannot take time on her part of the cost if these improvement are completed. Is it wise to take our last dollar to improve a few streets and leave nothing with which to repair other streets, sidewalks etc. lam most decidedly in favor of public improvements but let us make them on a basis that we can afford. I love nice things as well as any one, but it is not wise to buy what we are nob able to pay for.

NOTICE. We, the undersigned, do hereby agree to refund the money on two 25 cent bottles or boxes of Baxters’ Mandrake Bitters, if it fails to cure constipation, biliousness, sick.headache, jaundice, loss of appetite, sour stomach, dyspepsia, liver complaint, or any of the diseases for which it is recommended. It is highly recommended as a spring tonic and blood purifier. Sold liquid in bottles, and tablets in boxes. Price 25 cents for either. One package of either guaranteed to give satisfaction. A. F. Long.

ARE YOU CONSTIPATED?

You may not know it or at least fail to realize it but constipation is the greatest enemy to mankind. This condition unless corrected will bring on Indigestion and Dyspepsia. This condition places the system in such shape that if you are exposed to any one of the different kind of fevers you are sure to be affected thereby. In this condition a large amount of poisonous matter is retained in the system and 'you are therefore not in a condition* to throw off disease. A cold cannot be. eradicated when the system is clogged. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin gives perfect relief for this trouble. Try a 10c bottle just once; you will be convinced. Also in 50c & SI.OO sizes of A. F. Long. It will be an agreeable surprise to persons subject to attacks of bilious colic to learn that prompt relief may be had by taking Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Kernedy. In many instances the attack may be prevented by taking this remedy as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appear. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Meyer.
