'of feeling for all. and expres"l the

Suprenant took the mayor's seat anj

The vote resulted as follows: Mr.
Trullinger. Z: Mr. Cyrus, Mr. Trul
linger was declared the choice. He
will be installed Wednesday night.
Mayor Suprenanl's first annual mes
sage was then read. It was as follows;
"'Jentlemen of the Common Council:
It is customary for lh- mayor, at the
beginning of his ter n of clfi.e. to
communicate to the council ly mes
sage, setting forth, as far as praoj
cable, the general condition "f the
city's affairs, and making hi. ch reom
mendatlons as he deems proper. Ow
ing to the fact that the reports of
the various officers of 'he city have
, not been available th-y having Just
been completed -I am jnahle at this
time to make any extended or Kpeclfic
statements or .-ecnnmcn -latlons; but
must leave su h for future tlm.-H, when
officers' reports can have been exam
ined. My remarks on this occasion
must, therefore, ie of a ery general
nature.
"The affairs of the city are, I think,
generally In a fairly arlsfactory con
dition. So far as I am informed, the
various officers of ihe city are per
forming their duties carefully, prompt
ly and efficiently. However, this Is an
age of rapid development, and it Is re
quisite that, while practicing economy
in all departments, we keep abreast
of the times and up lth the march
of events.
While the finanres of the city are
not in a serious condition, they are far
from being satisfactory, and we should
labor earnestly to Improve them. The
limitation of Indebtedness allowed by
the city charter has been almost, if not
i)ulte, reached, and while It Is unwise
In public, as in private affairs, t.i be
parsimonious, it is but Just and proper
that the affairs of the city lie econo
mically administered. The Interest
charged against the city Is a heavy
burden, and ,f there Is any means by
will, h It can be r-dijced. it should be
d.rie; and some provision .,u!d bv
made, f ,.sible, for gradually reduc
ing the city'- indebtedness. There are
many outstanding claims against prop
erty o.vn.-rs, so, h as tax-s. street as
sessments, int. lest , liarg.-s. etc.. all of
whlih shoul I I- promptly , ollecte,,
and the proceeds properly applied.
owing to the nia nner of construc
tion of our principal streets I heir
maintenance i a great ex-nse, and a
heavy burden to th.- property owners
thereon. Yet due car.- must l- used
to keep them In safe and proper con
dition, and the building of new streets
should le- cn'. red up n only after care
ful consideration of ihe necessities
therefor, and of 'he ability of the
city and the property t,, b- ar the ,-x-penur
ther-of.
"The sanitary condition of the city
Is of the utmost importance. It Ih
not su' h a It should b-. and were we
riot blessed with a Wonderful climate,
we would pay d.-arly f,,r our short
comings in that respect. I especially
,atl tio- afentioii nt the commit, ,-e on
health and police to this matter, and
urge that they take it up, at once,
k-,. that existing laws are strlc ly en
forced, and win-re th- laws are de
fo ti-.e. r.-' otiun.-nd sic h additional leg
hslation as will remedy the defects,
"in,c the c,y h ,U' In good Sanitary
condition. I, lit little effort '.'.ill be re
,,jire. to maintain that condition.
, ' ''or.formlty o tin- regula'loriH Im
, pos.-d for the prevention of fires In the
city Is of the utmost importance. Ho
far as I have ascertained, the (ire de
partment Is in good condition, well
equipped, ably managed and Is prompt
and efficient in suppressing fires.
' The capacity of our city during the
next two years can be to a consider
able extent advanced or retarded by
j the manner In which the city Is gov
erned. A live, energetic, yet economical,
government will Inspire confidence and
encourage the Investment of capital In
'our tnllHt: while mismanagement and
extravagance destroys confidence and
drives capital away. We should en
; courage and foster legitimate enter
, prises of all kind.
i "I shall always be glad to render you
any assistance in my power, In any
(work which you may undertake for the
advancement of the city's nterests,
.and ask your hearty co-operation In
the endeavor to not only maintain ,,ur
! present condition, but t" i nprove It
'so fur u In our power lies. 1
i.Mr. Ilrlx Introduced a resolution fix
ing the time ,,f meeting I' inter the
terms of the resolution, the council Is
to meet on the first and thlid Monday
'of each month at T.J p m.. and. If the
! regular meeting night shall fall on a
i holiday, then the meeting will occur
on the Tuesday night following The
resolution specified that no meeting
would le- held last night, but that the
itlrsl tegular meeting of the year
; should occur tomorrow night. The reso
lution w as adopt.-d.
I The council then adjourned. Mein
iliers and citizen- gathered around the
I mayor's desk and warmly r..ngratu
l.ite-l him, wishing him all the mi ccs

This question has been worrying
many people who fear that the coal
supply Is becoming exhausted, but
th-re Is no u I lo worry, however, as
a substitute has been discovered In
petroleum. Ill nearly all of Nature's
products we find that as soon as one
material becomes scatce another Is
discovered to lake Its place. There Is
one exception, and thai Is Hosteller's
Stoma, h Hitlers. It Is Nature's own
remedy for all stomach, liver mid
bow.-l complaints, and during Ihe past
fifty years It lias been Impossible to
make a better medl'lne. It cures In
digestion, dyspepsia, constipation, ner
vousness and malaria, fever and ague.
If you have never tried It do so to
