After that I tried several kind a of plasters to see which was the best, and finally decided that AJlcock's suited my case the beet.

The paving ordinances are at last passed. This desirable result was brought about at an adjourned meeting of the coo noil held last night. The council met at 8 o'clock with Mayor Kanan in the chair. Aid. Mo- Glellan was the only member absent.

The procee lings follow: THE CITY MABSHAL'S REPORT of the arrests, causes of arrest, and noes assessed and collected during January was read and referred to the city attorney for examination. The jiumbor ot arrests was 27. The causes were: Intoxication 11, assault 5, disorderly conduct 1, using profane language 2, larceny 4, attempt to commit rape 1, shooting in city limits 1, attempt to murder 1, highway robbary 1. The total amount of fines assessed was collected $39. REPOKT3 REFERRED.

The January reports of J.M. Lowry and A. 0. Stevens, police justices, were read and referred to tho city attorney for examination. REPORT APPROVED.

The Finance committee reported that the Library account January, as returned by the city treasurer was correct. Beport adopted. LIBRARY CLAIMS. The following library claims were allowed: J. B.

Bevans, $13GO; Deca- tnr Gas R. McClelland, 117; Morehouse, Wells Co, $105; Mrs. Alice 8. Evans, 80 cents; same, $50; Margaret R.Cloyd, $20. Alethea Fuller, $5.

PLAT ACCEPTED, The Streets and Alleys committee to whom was referred the plat Montgomery Shull's First addition to the City of Decatur, reported rec ommending its acceptance. The report was adopted. The addition lies north of Herkimer street, between the Illinois Central railroad company's tracks and North Broadway. CLAIM ALLOWED. The claim of John Psrke, amount ing to 120.30, was allowed.

THE OLD SQDASE IMPROVEMENT CONTRO VERSY. Alderman Wayne submitted a com luuiiictition signed by owners of prop erty abutting on thu old square, and he asked that it be favorably consicl ered, as in his opinion the proposition which it contained was fair and jus both to the property owners and th city. The communication referre to the improvement of the old square The commissioners made an assess ment of Bis dollars per frnt foot up on the property abutting on th square, and this the property owner have held -was excessive. In the com munication they proposed as a compromise, that the city accept four dollars per foot, which rate they expressed a willingness to pay. Aldermen Muzzy, Wayne and Gogerty urged the acceptance of the proposition.

Alderman Darfee urged that action be deferred until the council was better informed as to the matter, and he moved that the communication be referred to the Finance committee and tho mayor. The motion was lost. It was then referred to the city attorney, who was instructed to confer with the property owners, and settle with them on the basis proposed. The vote on the question was: ayee, 2, Alderman McClellan being absent. Thus ends, if no further hitch occurs, the controversy and expensive litigation which the old square improvement gave rise to.

THE WILLIAMS GRADE. The Williams grade was adopted as the grade for" the streets to be paved, and the paving commissioners were instructed to make their specifications conform to that grade An ordinance embodying the above was passed. THE PAVING ORDINANCES. There being no other business on the clerk's table, City Attorney Mills submitted the paving ordinances to the council and they were taken up and passed, all except the ordinance providing for the paving of that portion of West Main street between the old square and North Church street- Action on this ordinance wis deferred because no grade had yet been established for the street. The ordinances passed provided for the improvement of the two routes between the old square and depot determined upjn at the last January meeting, and also for the improvement of North Park street and of South Water street between East Main and East Wood streets.

At 11:15 o'clock the council adjourned. Six Per Cent. Interest. We have $100,000 to loan on good farm lands, in sums of $1,000 and upwards, at 6 per cent per annum interest, and can give borrowere the privilege of paying off their in partial payments.

It ia useless for physicians to argue gainst the low necked style of dress or ladies at parties and balls. The act of the matter is that this style is considered just the thing on fall ress occasions, that it is of all most ieantifp.1 in the eyes of beaux, HQ 1 hat, since the belles care uiofefor hem than they do for fhny rill continue to adhere to the d-c ete style. Man's taste is often ca- HJciouB, bat on the subject of this tyle of dress he has never been found wuver. He likes it, always has liked and always will. Long before we were born Sheridan made Captain ibsolute say to his son, after describ- ee the beautifal face and eyes of a jelle: "And her neck-- oh Jack! ack!" No reader of Sheridan's can have forgotten that.

The fashon must be worshipped, and ie has sent forth his fiat that the 'ecollete style is the thing. Fashion which perpetrated the enormous hoop kirts of '66, the high-heeled shoes, he Grecian bend, she tightly laced waist, the pulled back dress, and the ibommations known as three story pera hats, varies from year to year such trifles, but maintains that the decollete style of dress is derigeur on ill great occasions. Fashion seems iver to aim at the destruction of woman's health, aud the death of Mss Jayard recently is ascribed by physi- as largely duo to nothing less han the style of dress we write of, worn always in the warm parlor as well as in the hall where the cold air ame in as she stepped out to welcome each guest. But what is the use of writing in this vein? No reform will result, because those who most need it will pay no heed. They lever have and they never will.

Per- isps one or two of the great number may be induced to change, and if hat much can be effected, two lives at least will be the happier for it A Bit ot a Blaze. Tue school building on Sangamon street in the First ward was again on fire Friday forenoon, and again the fire originated from the furnace. The fire was discovered about half- past 11 o'clock. At that time smoke was seen issuing from the register in the third grade room, which is in charge of Mrs. Frank Eoddy.

A fire alarm was turned in and the department responded promptly. Part ol the flooring around the register was cut away and the flames were easily extinguished with a bucket of water, Some excitemout was caused among the children ia the room, but a panic was prevented and all got safely out of the building. The janitor at the Sangamon btreet school is Carroll Fmin, but he was not there Friday, having been called away from the city early in the week. His brother had been left in charge of the building. However, the fire was not due to the negligenco of the latter.

The fact is the top of the furnace is too near the flooring, and whenever the furnace is made hot enough to properly heat tha building these cold days there is danger of a fire breaking out. The building has been on fire now three times, and the fire in each case originated from the furnace. A Thief Easily Cftujrht. From Tuesdox'i On Friday night of last week Henry Berry and Ira Gepford, of Maroa township, went to Clinton to attend a dance. After the ball was over they went to the hotel and put np for the night.

Gepfurd had $250 in a pook- etbook in his inside vest pocket, and upon retiring for the night he placed i he vest under bis pillow. He and jerry occupied the same roym, and ust before Gepford got into bed Jerry, who Bad already lain down, aid him to go and look the door and be certain that it was locked. iVhile Gepford's back was turned in iris way, it is supposed that Berry took the money from the purse and replaced it in the vest, keeping the money. At any rate the next morn- ng Berry was the first to rise, and when Gepford awoke, he found Berry at the door. He said: "I thought I old you to lock this door." "I did ock it," answered Gepford.

"Well," said Berry, "it was unlockei when I got up. You had better look and sea whether your money and watch are safe." Gepford then picked np his vest, saw that the watch and pocket- and thought no Bprry first said ie would accompany Gepford home, and they came down to Maroa together. Then Berry said he believed ie would not go out right away, and shortly after took the train for Clinton, where he hired a horse and drove to Waynesville. Gepford did not discover his loss until he got hotte, and was about to pay his father some rent money. He then speedily returned to Maroa, telephoned to Clinton, learned of Berry's whereabouts and Boon had Constables HorT and Parker on his track.

They arrested the thief and took him to the Clinton jail. His preliminary examinatior will occur to-day, and he says, "II Gepford swears against me, I'll have to go to the pen." The constables got $50 of the stolen money from Berry at the time of his jook were in place more of the matter. arrest, and a part of the remainder from a girl at VVaynesville where he went to visit.
