He was also sentenced to pay a fine of $50 and be imprisoned for thirty days for contempt of court, in as saulting a witness on the stand, &c. De fendant was committed to jail.

Two doses will relieve you. Regular size 75 cents. , j ; SCHENCK'S SEA WEED TONIC In the at mosphere experienced here during the summer months, Ltho lethargy produced by the heat takes away the desire for wholesome food, and frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, particularly those suffering from the effects of debilitating dis eases. In order to keep a natural healthful activity of the system we must resort to artificial means. For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very effectual. A few doses will create an appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated body. ; For dys pepsia it is invaluable. Many eminent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanent ly cured by the drugs which are generally employed for that' purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic in its na ture is totally different from such drugs. It contains no corrosive minerals or acids ; in fact it assists the regular operations of nature, and supplies her defi ciencies. The tonic in its nature so much resembles the gastric Juice that it is almost identical with that Asia. The gastric juice is the natural solvent which, in a healthy condition of the body causes the food to be digested, and when this juice is, not excreted in sufficient quantities, indigestion, with all its distressing symptoms follow. The Sea Weed Tonic performs .the duty of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic sold by all Druggists. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ' MINUTES . i I' h or Meeting of Retail Liquor Dealers, ueia at the Howard Engine House, ou Monday, July 23, at 3 P. M. WHEREAS, A PETITION WAS SENT BY the Retail Liquor Dealers of the City to the Mayor and Aldermen, praying for a reduction of the Special License Tax, and stating their grievan ces ; and, whereas it .appears from the City papers that said petition was read before said Board, which in fall meeting assembled took action thereon, and allowed a reauction to be nude to the amount of Thirty Dollars per year; and, whereas it also ap pears that, after this enactment, in a subsequent meeting. Alderman Flanner, of the Second Ward, moved to reconsider said reduction, and by so do ing again raised the License to its former standard, this act originating, it is supposed, from a commu nication received from a so-called Auditing Com mittee, appointed by His Excellency, 2. B. Vance, and upon whom a most considerate Legislature seems to have conferred powers unlimited ; be it, therefore, Resolved, . ' 1 : That we, Retail Liquor Dealers, and bona fide Citizens of this Municipality, do solemnly protest against the action of a Committee appointed by Le gislative enactment, and not elected by the qualified voters of this city. S. That we recognise only the duly elected Mayor and Aldermen to prescribe Laws for us, and shall not address a Committee to remedy our grievances. 3. That a committee of three be appointed to con sult, first, the City Attorney, Col. William S. De vane, in regard to the powers of the two Boards of the City. , 4. That the Clerk of the City be requested to fur nish the names of those who voted Aye, as well as those who voted against reduction. 5. That as it is apparent that the duly elected Board of Aldermen &i powerless and subject to a superior body, that prior to the convening of the Legislature, a Mass Meeting of all good citizens be called, for the purpose of petitioning that Body to annul the whole City Charter, curtail or repeal the law in regard to certain Committees, and, if possi ble, to change all the Wards of the City. i 6. That the revenue derived from the Retail Li quor Dealers amounts to about $13,000 annually, or nearly as mach as is expended on the whele Police Department, and as ail other Branches ef Trade have been materially reduced, we, as a body, de mand a redaction in proportion. 7. That our thanks are tendered to His Honor ,the Mayor, and Board ef Aldermen, for taking our peti tion into consideration, and for their prompt action thereon, at the same time expressing our regret that the Alderman of the Second Ward, who is supposed to be a Non-Dealer and a Non-Consumer of the Ar dent, should have entertained the motion detrimen tal to this body. 8.
