The Pew A Emerson oil company was granted the use of the streets for laying pipes, on Tuesday night. The ordinanoe was introduced some time ago and has been a fruitful subject of debate.

It was this which Induced the oounoilmen to pass the ordinanoe. The People's Oil and Gas oompany also scoured a franchise. There was considerable discussion over the ordinanoe. The one inquiry was made, whether or not the oompany was composed of home capitalists. One councilman voted for the ordinance, saying if the oompany was composed of any foreign capitalists he would not vote for its passage. The vote stood 5 to 5 and Mayor Danxldson voted for tbe ordinanoe. There have been numerous franchises granted, more than will ever be of service to the com panies holding them. Some companies want franchises just for the sake of having them.

and had drilled in the well about 10 feet when the tools became fastened in the hole and it required several days to remove them. It is believed that the oil rock Is only one hundred feet below and work will go on rapidly. The Kinser and Exchange wells will be drilled in within the next two weeks. Both wells are within about 100 feet of oil and they will be oased next week. As soon as a dry hole is secured a few days only will be required in which to determine whether or not they find oil. The other wells have all crossed the 1,000 line with tbe exception of several wells which were commenced within the past week or more. All of the wells which were first started will te down within the next month, if no serious trouble is encountered. Thus exciting times may be looked for in this city if more oil is found.

HOW TO QST THB MATT.

Without Money.

You have a boy In the family? Let him ask your neighbor to buy The Mail from him each Saturday. You give him nickel. He goes to The Mail office and as a newsboy gets two copies at 2K cents each. Be sells one to your neighbor and you have your money back.

Seef Try it! Then your boy can get other subscribers, and earn 26 to 50 cents for a little spending money, in an hour or two on each Saturday afternoon. Besides, teaches him business habits, the value of money, and reliance upon himself.

The majority of The Mail's newsboys oome from our best families, and it is pleasing sight to see them gather, on each Saturday.

Vigor ana Vitality.

Are qalckly given to every part of the body by Hood's Bansaparilla. That tired feeling la entirely overcome. The blood la purified, enriched, and vitalized, and carries health instead of disease to every orflan. Tbe atomach la toned and strengthened, the appetite restored. The kidney* and liver are ronsed and invigorated. The brain ia refreshed, the mind made clear and ready for work. Try it.

^HAT is meant by 'free alkali,' Doctor? I see it mentioned in the advertisements of Ivory So^f." "'Free Alkali,' Madam, is the alkali which is not combined with the fats or oils of which the soap is made, due to the ignorance or carelessness of the soap maker. Soaps in which free alkali' is present are decidedly injurious to both the clothing and the skin when habitually used. I have seen reports of analysis made of the Ivory Soap by men eminent in our profession, and all pronounce it to contain no free alkali,' to be made with great care and of materials of the best quality, carefully selected, so I unhesitatingly recommend it for evciy purpose about the house for which good soap is required."

A WORD OF WARNING.

Th«rt! iflS ffliny white toaps, each represented to be just at

they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeit*, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities 4 the genuine. Ask for lvo»y Soap and insist upon getting it OoRrrisht 1S8S. br Procter A Gambia.
