arms between Aldermen Poago aud
Tibbs,tho account was recommitted

bill of ':;. (." from tho Hell Water
Company for lowering water pipes.
Mr. Tibbs explained that tho
grade of the strtet was lowered and
that tho wator company then had to
lower their pipe.
Mr. Poago thought that was no
reason why tho company should bo
paid for lowering thoir own pipe.
Tho city engineer said ho could
find no evidence that tho water com
pany had over put their pipe down
10 the proper grade, and that it was
thoir own fault that they had to
lower it He had refused to approve
ho ru count.
Mr. Symes thought tho lowering
of the pipo had been rendered nee
essan y the fault of a former city

ompa'iy should be remunerated for
the extra expense.
The city engineer said there was
a leiorded gratre, aud thnt the pipe,

stated that tho water company had

that this was a relowering.

ni ttee.
The other bills approved by the
finance committee were then ordered

The Whisperer.
"The request of the citizens who
are asking th3t the streets on which
they live be graveled is a very
modest one," whispered an out
skirts resident this morning. "They
have paid their share of taxes
towards putting down high priced
streets in other parts of the city,
and now they ask a very small re
turn. It ought to be given them."

"I understand that some f the
subscribers to the advertising fund
are making pretty hard sledding for
the committee which has in charge
the collection and disbursement of
thn innnfcv." said a live and uro-
.
gressive Waooito to tho Whisperer
today. "J ney kick ana grumble
about paying up their subscriptions
as though they had not voluntarily
subscribed. Now the members of
the advertising committee get noth
ing out of the fund thus collected.
They are liberal subscribers, and,
in addition, give a good deal of
their time to attending to tho prop
or disbursement of the fund. Thcv
should be encouraged by prompt
and cheerful responses when they
senu arouuu 10 coiiece me mommy
s ibscriptions."
"I am surprised," tuid a Fort
Worth man to the Whisnorer. "that
you Waco people do not make a
bigger stir about your hot artesian
water. Why, I have met Texas
people within the last month who
did not believe you had any such
thing here had never heard about
it. I honestly believe the artesian
water of Fort Worth, from little
bits of wells, much of it having to
be pumped, was more generally
talked about in Texas seven or
eight years ago than is your magni
ficent supply now. Whoop it up,
lot it be known, and rc3p the re
ward." Tho Guaranteed Income Policy of

La Grippe.
During tho prevelanee of the Grippo
the past seasons it was a noticeablo
fact that those who depended upon
Ur. King's New Discovery, not only
had a speedy recovery, but esoaped all
of the troublesome after cfl'eots of the
malady. This remedy seems to have
a peculiar power in cfleoting rapid
oures not only in cases of La Grippo,
but in all diseases of Throat, Chest and
Lungs, and has cured oases of Asthma
and Hay Fever of long standing. Try
it and be convinced. It won't dis'a
