A Lie Nailed.

SALEM, N. T.. june z, 1ss1.-Mr. 8. Black
ford. 146 West Third street, St. Paul, Minn.
Dear Sir: Your last package of medicines
came all safe, and has done me and my family
great deal of good. My wife is not well yet
and think l need more medicine to make a
sure cure. mean to follow up the medicine
till well. Mine was case of scrofula of long
standing. mail you to-day in separate en-
velope postal order for $18 for twelve large
sized bottles of DR.. Halliday's Blood Purifier.
The original letter can be seen at nay Office.
The party who wrote the above has been doc
toring for scrofula with the best doctors of
that vicinity, and after taking dozen bottles
he ought to know whether it was a humbug
or not, and would certainly not send for $lS
worth more If it was a humbug, as some of
my neighbors are trying to lead strangers to
believe, to hurt my business, because do not
trade with them. A certain German baker, be-
cause trade with Michaud Bros, which he
does not like, gets up the report that said it
was good for warts, which is the biggest lie
ever concocted. What claim for this medi-
cine is, tonic and blood purifier for all poi
sonous diseases of the blood, and after test
of five years in st. Paul, it has increased over
ten fold every year, and is endorsed by our
best citizens. If certain neighbors would mind
their own business as well as they do mine it
would be better for them. Unless abated I
shall commence suit for damages.

Report of DR.. Hamilton.


NEW YORK, July 4.-From the Tribune;
DR.. D. j. Hamilton, who went to Wash
ington Sunday night at the request of
Secretary Blaine, to consult with ply
sicians in attendance on the President,
returned at 1l:30 last night. In response
to inquiries by Tribune reporter, he
said, ~ left the White House at 8 this
afternoon the President was no worse
than when arrived at $50 in the morn
ing. There was no evidence that he was
sinking. He vomited in the morning.
The vomit being Of a greenish color, but
the last three or four hours there was
much less. The great source of suf-
ferings has been pains in
his feet and legs. Indeed this has been
the only source. In the forenoon that
abated meterially. He appears bright
and cheerful, and is prompt to answer
questions He turns, without aid,
in bed Ito have his back
examined. He said turning over did not
hurt him. He remained in that position
twenty minutes, which accelerated his
pulse somewhat. All of these symptoms
are not of the highest degree of gravity,
and do not of themselves necessarily indi-
cate fatal issue.
When we take them in connection with
the fact the ball seems to have penetrated
the liver and remains in the scavity of
the belly and beyond the reach of
detection, the symptoms may
be fairly interpreted as leaning

day.
The alarm of fire from box No. II at 8
O'Clock yesterday morning was caused BY
the discovery of fire in the one story and
half frame building, corner of B and
Third streets, in the Sixth ward. The
fire was first discovered by Chief Strong,
who turned in the alarm. Owing to the
rough condition of the streets, the fire
had gained considerable headway before
the department arrived on the ground.
The department succeeded in confning
the blaze to its place of origin, and the
flames were thereby prevented from com
munieating to the adjacent buildings
The building destroyed was owned BY
George Fontain, and occupied by his son
and VIM. LOBBY. They succeeded in
saving q greater part of the furniture
The building was covered by an insur-
ance of $500, which equals the loss. The
fire is supposed to have originated from
defective fue
At about 3:45 yesterday morning fire
broke out IN frame house on East Fifth
street, between Minnesota and Robert
streets, kept as boarding house by
James Mellady and family, and owned by
Mrs. Miller The fire is supposed to have
originated in a lamp which was left burn
ing in rear chamber for an absent
servant. The alarm was promptly given
The department responded quickly, and
the damage to the building was limited
to about $l00. Mr.. Mellady lost about
as much more IN removal of furniture
and fire and water damage to household
goods. Insured In Col. Stoddart's agency.
The alarm Of fire from box No. II at
1855 O'Clock last night was caused by the
discovery of flames issuing from the
dwelling occupied by Mrs. Miller, corner
of Bertha and Kate streets, in the Sixth
ward. The department turned out, but
the blaze was extinguished by the bucket
brigade before their arrival. The fire
caught from the upsetting of kerosene
lamp. The damage will not exceed fifty
dollars.

Early Morning Reports,

WARRINGTON, July 5.-Col. Rockwell, who
spent last night with the. President, went home
this morning to get some rest. As he passed
out of the White House his face showed hope
was high in his breast. He said "Thauk God,
l believe the worst is over. now believe he
will live. Twas with him all night and
the change for the better is most decided, and
inspires his friends with hope amounting
almost to enthusiasm"
COL Corbin. who has been close watcher
at the bedside, said at noon: II believe the
President will live. Everything looks bright
now, and we pray that there may not be any
change for the worse"
As bulletins are not being issued SO freely as
formerly, the reporters have to gather the
opinions of doctors and of visitors to the
Presidents room. All these agreed at noon
that the President had steadily held his own
all day. The doctors do not say that there
has been any change for the better
this morning, but they are we'll satisfied.
The President dozes frequently and suffers
some pain but remains cheerful. It is not be-
lieved that any decisive opinion can be given
of the case short of several days. One of the
strong points in his favor is that there is
now harmony between his respiration, pulse
and temperature. Such wounds develop new
complications almost daily. The doctors con-
vey strong hope of final recovery based up
on his condition last night and to-day

Cracking q Safe.

During Monday night burglars made
an unsuccessful attempt to crack the safe
at Boyer & Defel's grocery store, corner
of Carroll and Josette streets. On COM
ing to the store yesterday morning one of
the clerks was astonished to find things
badly demoralized. Fancy goods were
strewn about the floor and counters, and
several empty wine bottles suggested that
there had been picnic. Further 1nves-
tigation showed that an attempt had been
made to blow open the safe. A small
hole had been drilled in the door of the
safe, which had been filled with powder
About the time they were ready to COM
pie the job the cracksmen were frightened
off. The safe contained nearly $500, and
they would have made good haul.
Nothing of special value was taken.

NEW YORK. July 5.-The report that spe-
cial police force had been sent to the Fifth
Avenue hotel, at the request of and for the
protection of ex-senator ConklIng, is denied
by Superintendent Walling
A Washington special says: Vice President
Arthur suffers much grief, and is in state of
anxiety to learn how the President is getting
on. he eats very little, and receives hardly
any visitors. Iu conversation with friend
last night he shed tears in relating his inter.
view with Mrs. Garfield, and said that this
event, If it should terminate fatally, would be
the greatest calamity that could happen to the
nation. It is enough. he said, to convince
every man of the folly of party strife. The
cabinet is unit in scouting the idea of any
political significance attached to the crime.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Secretary Blaine last
evening called on Vice President Arthur, but
the latter refuses to see any visitors except
friends, or, as in the case of Blaine, cabinet
officers Senator Jones, of Nevada, whose
guest Arthur is, says that nobody IN the coun-
Try is more grieved at the Presidents case than
Arthur is, and that nobody will more gladly
receive the news of the Presidents recovery.

"Th0nE GOd.'

NEW YORK, July SIT was curious study
to watch the faces of persons as they walked
up to read the morning bulletins. The latest
dispatches published in the morning were
somewhat discouraging, but the improvement
in the condition of the woun6ed President in
dicated by later dispatches had very cheering
effect. One old gentleman, after reading the
bulletins, turned to friend, who stood at his
side, and exclaimed, as he raised both hands
above his head: "Thank God! bet he will get
we'll. Our minister prayed for his re-
covery last Sunday, and yesterday
was the first time in my life when I didn't
celebrate the Fourth in the usual manner, and
every time during the day when thought Of
our Presidentlyin on his bed of suffering,
I put silent prayer to the Almighty that he
would spare him to complete his work for his
people. I believe that these prayers, as well
as the prayers from thousands in the country,
which have been offered the last two days,
will be answered, and that our President will
live to carry out the work which he earnestly
began" and again exclaimiag, "thank God,''
in loud voice, he walked away.

sionsacant Foreton Comments.

LONDON, July 5.-The Journal De St,
Petersburg characterizes the attempt on
President Garfeld's life..as "an abominable
crime which has deeply moved
and saddened Russia, and
asks if recurrence of these henious crimes
does not indicate the existence of contagious
is, says the Journal, great lesson to be
learned from all this, namely that
neither republics or monarchies are safe from
the attacks of some perverted minds. Once
more we express the cordial sympathy felt by
the whole of Russia for Mrs. Garfield and the
people of the United States. The relations
of Russia and America have always been
cordial. There never existed feelings of
jealousy or antagonism between the two
people. The American nation may count upon
the feryent prayers of Russians for the Presi-
DENTS recovery.
The in erest and anxiety in England about
Mr.. darfield's progress has rather increased
than abated, and news of his condition is ca
gerly sought after.
The Edenboro Scotsman, commenting on the
shooting of Garfield, says: The intelligence
of this Infamous act will incite in this coun-
try mingled feelings of surprise, regret and
indignation. The feelings in Great Britain to-
wards America does not require special
circumstances to give them sincerity or force,
but the sympathy called forth by this event
which has already been appropriately rendered
by the queen, can hardly fail to gain intensity
when it is remembered that Garfeld's
publication before he was laid low were words
of good will to this country. The notice
concludes as follows: ga Car of Rus
sia, and President of the United States
stand at opposite poles Of government, yet
both are exposed to the same Kind of assault,
and within few months of each other both
have been victims of the assassin. The con-
sciousness of this must always be present,
more or less, to those who hold high and re-
sponsible positions

The Haverly "Strategist'' party con-

evening to small but very appreciative
audience. The company is composed of
excellent artists, who arc fully competent
to sustain oven more ambitious roles than
they appeared in. Mr. Polk is an excel
lent comedian, and Mr. Linden is not far,
If any, behind him. The entire company
is we'll balanced, and well deserves all the
commendation it has received. When it
returns to St. Paul-it is to be hoped at

mometer is not up to the nineties-it may
be assured of a hearty reception.
