Necessity Is the surest promoter of Invention. The recent coal strike causing the price of coal to advance to almost beyond reach has resulted In tha granting of over 4000 patents on machines to burn either oil or gas. The necessity for a family medicine that could be relied on absolutely In cases of stomach, liver and kidney ailments led to the Introduction of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters 50 years ago. Today It Is world famed as a cure for loss of appetite; Insomnia, nervousness, flatu lency, indigestion, dyspepsia, constipa tion nnd bllllousness. Try a bottle and be convinced of Its value. It contains nothing that will Injure the most dell- cata system nnd Is therefore specially adapted for restoring strength to those who have become weak from long sick ness or those In need of a tonic. Don't accept a substitute. . TO PROTECT Tilt CITY COUNCIL CANCELS itAISED WAHKANTH. Other Amount of Late Auditor's iH-rulcntion Must Jte Paid by Bondsmen. At the regular meeting of the coun cil last evening City Attorney Smith preitented a report wllh reference to the nihility of the city for the amount of the defalcation of the late Auditor Nelsoi. Mr. Smith reported that the city ;ould not be held responsible for the sum In which 'he warrant were rulw.-d, und cited numerous decisions In support of his opinion. The warrant buyers who plated cash In the hands of the lata auditor did so at their o risk, the attorney reported, and any re siiltaut loss falls on tbem. The city Is responsible for the apiount in which th warrants should lawfully have Ikd drawn, but In no other amount. An ordinance canceling those raised warrants still outstanding was Intro dined and passed undor suspension of th mil's. The ordinance provides for the cancelation qf 71 warrant!, which had been drawn in small amounts and then rained. The amount of the de. fulcation on thosf; wxrrant, Mr. Smith suld, was about $1500. In one or two Instances the persons In whose favor warrants were drawn received the rals ed warrants Instead of the cash, and In two known caies of the kind the hold ers have agreed to refund tte money The defalcations on warrants already prevented to the city treasurer and paid will be mad: up by the bondsmen of the late official. The council last night chose two new assessors. Only two names were pre sented those of Asmus Brix, a retiring councilman, and C. C. Utzlnger.

Caspor Drilling presented an applica tion for appointment as sexton of Ocean view cemetery, and th matter was referred to the committee on pub lic property. The ordinance Increasing the salary of Chief of Police Hallock from $81 to $90 was passed last night by unanimous vote. At a previous meeting It was laid over, unanimous consent for bus pension of the rules being refused at that time. Chief Hallock last night requested the council to have his books exported, and the request was referred to the ways and means committee. George Johnson presented a claim for 161.05. for cxpeuses Incurred during the Illness of Ole Tangen, a smallpox pa tlent. When the disease attacked the young man Johnson asked the city of ficials to cause his removal to the pest house, but this was refused, and instead the house was quarantined. Johnson was compelled to provide food for the patient for some time and to attend to his wants. His claim was referred to the health and police committee. A communication from County Clerk Clinton showed that the assessed valu atlon of city property for the year 1902 was $1,627,970. At the next meeting of the council the appropriations for the year will be made.
