Nervous Prostration-
Complete Recovery by the Uso of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
Some years ago,- as a result of too
close attention to lminc3s,' my health,
'failed." .1 became weak, nervous,'. was
unable to look' after my interests, and ,
manifested ' all tlio -symptoms of a de
cline." I toolr three bottles of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, began to iuipyve at oucc,
sml gradually increased mv weight from
one liundred and twenty-live to two
hundred pounds. Since thru, Iind my
family have used tli is medicine wjiori
needed, and 'we- are all in tlie best of
health, a Jact which ire attribute to
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I believe my chil
dren would have been fatherless to-day
had it not been' for Ayer's Sarsaparilln,
of which preparation I cannot say too
much." IT. Oj Hixrox, Postmaster and

THE MAYOR'S MESSAGE.
Several Points for the Council to
"mlnate Upon the Coming Year.
JBu-
To the Honorable Common Council . of
JJalles City:-
As we are about to enter upon another
year's administration ot c.ty affairs, it is
proper that wo should - have a brief
resume oT the past gear's business and
also outline.or forecast the policy of the
. council tor the coming year,, At the be
.. 4rfnnincr rif t.h Innf. 'fiana! voa'r 'TnW 1
4 1895, the city bad not yet. completed the
eale of the bonds and the principal part
oi ioe oia warrants were outstanding
and it is impossible to compare the cash
ibalance at that time with the .cash bal
anee at the present time and deduct f
. conclusion therefrom. ; "
- I find from examining the annnal re
s porl read the first Monday in July, 1895,
that the expenses of the city for the
year previous had been $12,180.83, te'nj
-a trifle over $1,000 per month and this
-without payment of any interest, I find
.Irom the records kept by the recorder,
and as will appear in his report,' that
- the past year the expenses for city gov
ernment have been (6,973.85, or a trifle
over one-half what thev were the vear
. previous. Of ' course to this we should
add the interest on bonded debt $3,420
making oar total expenditures, includ
ing interest, $10,393.85.
We have collected income daring the
past year as follows :
Saloon licenses. ......... .
;.$ 5,080 00
4,519 01
- Fines, miscellaneous licenses
and other sources.
2,104 95
; Total.:. ..
Less cash exp.
.-.,,.-..,..,...$11,703 96
including int . ; 10,393 85
Balance. ...... ....... 1,310 11
From the foregoing it will be seen
that we have been able tq '. ran the city
and pay nor interest for $1,310.11, less
than the income derived (be past year,
a showing upon which- I can congratu
late the council. . i. . u: y-,'
. IBs expenses nave been further ..re
Iuced for the coming year by discon
tinning the arc lights, bo if the income
can be kept op to last year's figures, we
shall very easily be able to have a still
larger surplus at the .end of the coming
year. There is now a balance on .hand
exclusive of the money set apart for the
redemption of warrants issued prior to
the time when warrants were paid by
the treasurer on presentation, the sum
of $6,949.22. ; : V - , v ; -
Still we should not at this time simply
congratulate onrseves on business suc
cess, but exercise a vigilant care fcr the
future. VVe should watch that our in
come does not shrink by any 'lack of
carfi'n'ness on the prt of our officers
and also that our 'monthly running ex
censes are not allowed to increase. The
system of the past.year of closely ecrut
inizing every bill, and closely consider.
Ing very. expense .before incurring it.
should be continued. v. It would.be very
easy for expenses to creep up again on
as and- instead of allowing this to be
done it is. my hope that in jcase. we have
. any substantial surplus we may arrange
to nee that surplus in something tend
ing towards -the permanent . improve.
ment and advancement of the city. -
We must not lose sight of the fact that
on account of .very close economy out
little has been done toward the keeping
p of the "fire department apparatus, and
am in'ormed that tlie purchase of a
quantity of new hose and perhaps some
other minor repairs will be necessary in
the near future. ' ;
The light proposition is one which is
entirely unsettled and I have never con
sidered that ' vhe question was one of
lights or no lights, but rather what kind
of, lights and what they - must cost us.
heartily approve the action of the
council in discontinuing the. expensive
arc lights, as we could not, in justice to
other matters, continue paying out eo
much money for. arc lights alone." The
former expense for . lights was some
$500 or $600 greater each year than all of
the money , the city could, collect for
taxes oyer and .above the payment of
interest on bonded debt; and was out of
proportion to anything else in the city
government, I believe, however, -the
council 'should . take the matter in
band and see what arrangements 'can be
made for a cheaper system of lighting,so
as to be able - by the fall of the year to
provide sufficient light for the safety, of
the citizens; but at the same time see-
ng to it that the expense is kept in pro
portion to other expenses of. the city and
within our ability to pay;
The question , of street -improvements
in my opinion should nave some con
sideration at the hands' .of this council,
but by this I do; not mean to say that
we should begin an expensive system of
improving, but that the streets should
be cleaned and at least a portion of the
rut holes and sand pits, which may now
be seen in almost every portion of the
city, should be filled.'; Nothing adds to
the appearance . of a 1 town , more than
well graded ana well kept streets and a
vast amount of improvement in this re
spect could be made at a very nominal
expense either to the , city or the prop
erty owners.
A question which will soon confront
ua or others in this council -and a ques
tion which must be met belore longis
that of eewerage. The present eewer
system -is imperfect and -worn - out.. I
fully appreciate the ."hard times" and
do not urge or advise that this question
of sewerage should be taken, up before it
is absolutely necessary, but ., whenever
the council is of the opinion that the
majority of the property, owners are in
favor of a new sewer system they should
not hesitate to take the matter in their
Hands And act; and I might go farther
than this and say that whenever in the
opinion of the council our sewer system
is inadequate and is in such condition as
to endanger the health and lives of the
inhabitants of the city, they should not
hesitate to try to remedy the evil even
by a new sewer system; I do not be
lieve any ' considerable sewer Improve
ment could be made to advantage ex
cept by taking the entire matter in hand
at one time and constructing a full and
complete system entirely independent
01 the old. . , x
1 sincerely hope '.that- the present
council will ' be as harmonious in the
transaction of business and as true to
the city's welfare as has the council. dur
ipg the past year, and that the relation
of the counciliaen with each other and
that the, relation of. ' myself , with the
councilmen will be mutually pleasant
and agreeable. Respectfully submitted,
