E. H. MARCUM, Clerk of Session. 2d23 CITY MAY LOCATE REST ROOM IN BASEMENT OF LIBRARY (Continued from Page 1) under a Slew law the city attorney, on account of having a municipal court here, must prosecute all mis demeanors brought before him from any part of the county. He pointed out that the work of the office took up a large amount of time and that there was no city in the state that paid as small a salary as is paid by Bemidji. He stated that during the past year over twice the sal ary of the attorney was saved by sev eral court actions. Upon a vote of the council it was decided to leave the salary the same as last year. Treasurer's Salary Reduced. The only other change in the sal aries is that of the city treasurer. The city treasurer formerly received $35 a month and the bond was paid by the city. This year the city treasurer's salary is raised to $40 a month but he must secure his own bond. The cost of a bond per year is about $80, so under the new sal ary the city treasurer will receive $20 less than last year. Judge Gets $1,300. The salaries of the city officers are as follows: Judge of the municipal court, $1,300 per year clerk of the municipal court, $30 per month city attorney, $70 per month city treas urer, $40 per month, city clerk, $100 per month janitress of dormitory, $10 per month drivers of motor truck and janitors, $75 per month chief of police, $80 per month patrolmen, $70 per month city en gineer and street commissioner, $100 per month water clerk, $65 per month librarian, $40 per month, janitor of library, $15 per month city assessor, $500 per year health officer subject to bids boarding pau pers subject to bids.

Another Wonderful Recovery From Kidney Trouble For nearly nine years I was a great sufferer from what my doctor said was Kidney trouble and my blood was out of order enduring all that time excruciating pain in my back and across my bowels. I was drawn down so that I could only walk with my hands on my knees. My doctor said he could do nothing for me. I tried many kinds of medicine but all to no avail. A friend told me about Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and as I had tried everything else that I heard of, I bought a bottle of Swamp-Root and it did wonders for me. I prize it higher than any other medicine and I shall recommend it to my friends. I wish to add right here that after using Swamp-Root for two months I began to straighten up and am now sound and well, and feel like I might live a long time yet to tell what your medicine has done for me. Yours very truly, T. C. CLAY, 750 Sugar St. Marion, Ohio. State of Ohio Marion County Personally appeared before me this 19th day of December, A. D., 1914, T. C.
