ON1 7 THP BEST Family edicifie - She Kas Ever Known. Words of Praise from a New York Lady for AYE R'S P I LLS ' I would HUo to add my testimony to that ot others who have used Ayer's Pills, and to say that I have taken them for many years, and always derived tho test results from their use. For stom ach and liver troubles, and for the cure of heailai-he caused by these derange ments, Ayer's Pills cannot he equaled. Wlien my friends aslc me what is the .lest Temedy for disorders of the stom ach, liver, or bowels, my invariable answer is, Ayer's Pills. Taken in mn non, they will break up a cold, prevent la grippe, check fever, and regulate the digestive organs. They are easy to take, and are, indeed, the best all-round family medicine I have ever known." Mrs. 3Iay Johnson, 3C8 Rider Avenue, New York City. AVER'S PILLS Highest Honors at World's Fair.

A special meeting of the city council -was held laet night, being the last meet ing of the council as at present organ ized. Mayor Menefee was abeent on ac- -connt of sickness, but there were present "Councilruen Saltmarshe, Wood, Eahel "man, Johns, Ross, Lauer and Nolan. On motion Councilman Eahelman was 'chosen mayor pro tem, who thanked the council for the compliment and assumed the chair. A number of petitions to sell liqnor were then read from Dan Baker, Sinnott & Fish, Otto Rirgfeld, A. Kellar, T. T. : .'Nicholas, John Howe, F. W. L. Skibbe, .'. August Buchler, Chas. Frank, F. Ijemke, Wiseman & MarderF, Ben Wilson, A. -Baldwin, Murders & Michel bach and Maetz & Fundi. . Tho petitions were gr&nted, on motion of Nolan. j r- m m m mmm Stt ""'"".j. Ay) ?m:M ... An ordinance was then read granting - a franchise to Senfert & Condon for erecting, constructing, Maintaining, bs iing and operating telephone, electric Vlight, power and telegraph lines in, binder and through the streets, alleys ' and public places of .Dalles City. The company does not aek for an exclusive franchise, guarantees that no expense shall accrue to the city from any work they may perform, and bold themselves responsible for any Jamage that may result from their, business. Mr. Nolan desired to know if the firm would be willing in return for a Iran htse to supply the recorder's office with a free telephone. In explanation Mr. Condon said the franchise was as ood a thing 'for the city as himself, The company proposed to lay all its . wires underground at great expense, which would be out: ot ' the way of the firemen and wouM ' greatly lessen all trouble and danger. They asked, for nothing better than what they, already had from a business standpoint, but wanted their underground wires' pro tected by a franchise from being de etroyed by anyone who might come vpon them and think tbey were in his way. Councilman Thompson believed that an unconditional franchise should t granted, and "'on motion of Mr Nolan, the ordinance was placed upon its final passage and passed. No other business appearing, Mr ' Nolan arose and made reference to the retirement of some of the-councilmen and he wished to tender the courtesies o those who remained to those who r ' tired. Speaking for himself, Mr. Eshel man said he was gratified for the kindly expression manifested,' that his duties had been pleasant, there bad been little unpleasantness among the council and lie retired with the kindliest feeling toward all. Councilman Lauer made no remarks." He has served longest of all three years and a half having been ap pointed to fiil a vacancy six months prior to his regular election. The city expenses at the time 'Mr, Lauer entered ' the council, have been as high as (1,400 per month. Now they are but little above $300. Messrs. Laoer and Eshel- man retire with (rood reason for eelf congratulation. THREW HIS CRUTCHES AWAY. Engineer W - Hayes, of the Southern fca-; clfle Cared. Mb. Editor, Deab Sib : I hold it to be a duty, as well as a pleasure, to make known through the press that which of all other things is essential to mostr, viz: The way to cure pain and sickness. From December 1st to the 29th I was confined to my house with sciatic rheu matism, kidney trouble and inflamma tion of the neck and bladder and general indisposition. Could not sleep more than an hour at a time.. All means I tried proved unavailing. I was prompted to visit Dr. Drrin through the advice of my friends who had been cured by him, though I must say I had little faith that electricity would cure me. I came to the doctor -on crutches. Two weeks' treatment has cured me, so I've thrown away my crutches and my other com plaints have all disappeared, so I can now take command of my engine again. W. Hayes, "914 Fifth street, East Portland, Or. Dr. Darrin is now located at the Uma tilla house, The Dalles, and will remain until July 3d. - - jun29-d3t-wlt lOO Reward HIOO.
