CONSUMPTIvES TAKE NOTICE
Every moment of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice OF 8 remedy. The amount OF testimony in
favor Of DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Sy up, as a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all hat can be
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicine. see DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates of many persons of the highest
responsibility, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians Of
acknowledged ability. Schenck's Fulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
Dloyment Of two other remedies which Dr.Schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional RENE
dies are Schencks Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. By the timely use OF these medicines ac-
cording to directions, DR.. Schenck certifes that
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
DR.. schenck is professionally at his principal
office, corner Sixth and Arch SITS Philadelphia
every Monday, where all letters for advice must be
addressed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-The sanitary in
spector of Memphis writes to tho National
board of health that the tendency of people
absent from Memphis to return to some
place there continues. He says if it were
not for the enforcement of the rule, which
requires all who go into Memphis to have
the permit of the superintendent of quaran-
tine, there would be hundreds returning
where one goes now. Local guarantees on
all the lines of railroad in this State are
gradually coming into accord with the gen.
eral system of inspection. Public opinion
is in almost entire harmony with the health
authorities, and gives free and hearty en-
dorsement to the quarantine, as it has been
and is now conducted.
The National board of health has ap-
pointed a committee to meet railroad repre-
sentatives and aid in the preparation of a
system of rules and regulations governing
inspection. It is the intention also to have the
proprietors of steamboats, interested in the
subject attend a conference at Nashville

TRIP TRIPPED,

A Step Son Bores Hole in His Brevet
Daddy. -
The residents of Eagan township, near the
quiet village of Rosemount, about twelve
miles from st. Paul, were thrown into fu-
ror of excitement yesterday morning by the
announcement that Albert Trip, residing
near the latter place, had been shot and
fatally wounded. The rapidity with which
bad news travels is proverbial, and the first
report of the sinister affair was waited to
this city about 10 o'clock, when messenger
drove up to DR.. Murphy's Office in hot haste,
and informed that gentleman that he was
urgently wanted at Rosemount. III"
The messenger was terribly agitated, and
without stopping to enquire the nature of
the patients illness, DR.. Murphy and his
escort started for the scene of the affair as
above indicated. DR.. Murphy returned last
evening and confirmed the ugly report of
the shooting. The man had been shot
through the back of the neck, the ball pass
ing through the feshy part of the neck, in
dangerous proximity to the spinal colamn,
creating tubs-like wound as clear-cut as
whistle. ..r a.. .....: ..... ....,,
The wound was dressed by DR.. Murphy,
who pronounced the injuries serious but not
fatal. AS to who did the shooting or the
manner in which the wound had been pro-
duced he did not think to inquire, officiating
only in the capacity of q practitioner. The
mysterious affair was investigated by GLOBE
reporter, whose diligent inquiries were pro-
ductive of the following information: -
The shooting took place on Trips farm
about O'Clock YESTERDAY morning, and was
perpetrated by step son of the latter named
Augustine, who did the shooting in a
moment of indignant and outraged frenzy.
From the information at hand the affair
which eliminated SO disastrously on yester-
day was the result of long standing feud
between Trip and his step son Augustine.
The trouble is said to have arisen from q
consciousness on the young mans part that
Trip had Influenced the separation between
his father and mother, which took place
some years ago, since when Trip and his
present companion have been living together
az man and wife. The feeling, as above de-
scribed, ranklel in the boys mind and has
proved the thoru to all domestic happiness
in the household. A quarrel took place yes
terday morning between father and step son,
during which the latter shot at his father
with the result as already stated.
The victim to the affair is we'll known in
st. Paul, having been part owner of Con-
ley's variety theatre and more recently the
proprietor of a butcher shop on Wabashaw
street. He is property owner in st. Paul,
is spoken of peaceable man, and has been
generally regarded as aquietly disposed gen.
tlemen. -

A Good Joke on Prior

Sylvester Montruse was delegated last
night to clean out the Chicago, Milwaukee
q st. Paul ticket Office, and by the ap-
pearance of the place he did the work we'll,
if quantity Of water would clean it. While
Sylvester was wetting down the walls super
intendent Prior strolled into the Office, and
was asked what he wanted. On answering
nothing in particular, Sylvester, who did
not know his visitor, ordered him out. Now if
there is one thing more than another that
superintendent Prior dislikes it is to be
treated unofioially by any of the road en-
ployes. and he did not, therefore, make any
move toward the door until Sylvester pointed
the hose at him and seized him by the coat
collar, when the bystanders say that he
moved rapidly. After putting Prior out
Sylvester locked the door and proceeded
with his work, and Prior went for police
man, who persuaded Sylvester to open the
door. When the situation was explained to
him Sylvester apologized, but it will prob
ably be the last time he will clean out that
Office.
