WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE.
CHAs. A. CABRERA, 39 Hawley Street,
 Boston, Mass writes <: 7 5 I

"One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only a question of days rather than months With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, [ tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, as last resort, was induced to try Dr. R. O. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle took new lease of life, and I can honestly say to-day that one spoonful of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than gallon of any other known remedy. bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symp- toms of cough or cold I fly to it for the re- lief it never fails ts giEe.p E E ' fB'% DIR. FLOWERS LUNG COR DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung Remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of Consumption as no rem- edy has ever been known to do. 1t stands without a rival for Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asth- ma, and Consumption.

The trial of Frank Meade, who is under

district court before the middle of January.
He has been confined in the county jail
since about the middle of September, the
trial being postponed on account of the
sickness If his attorney, ex-Goy. Davis.
Meade passes his time in the upper corrl-
dor of the jail, except at nights, and reads
a great deal In fact nearly all his time,
except when some friend drops in to see
him. is passed in the company of his pipe
and a book. He looks little thinner than
three months ago, and has allowed his
beard to grow. His spirits are good, but
he is losing vitality. Being naturally an
active man, the confinement has been irk-
some. From constant lack of exercise the
exertion of doing anything quickly puts
him out of breath. and though he oc-
casionally is under the weather for a few
DAYS. his general health is tolerably good.
He does not care to talk over his own case
very much, but is anxious for the approach
of the trial,

A Member of ST. Georges Suggests
That the Winter Clubs Eject Their
Officers on arades.

To the Officers of the Carnival Association:
Gentlemen: In order that the matter may
be brought to the notice of all concerned,
address this letter to you through the columns
of the daily press. AS you are aware. the
success of the winter carnival of st. Paul
depends almost entirely upon the winter
clubs. Instead therefore of appointing the
chief marshal Of parades together with his
aides al d other officers necessary for the
management of the clubs. would it not give
better satisfaction to allow the clubs them
selves to elect such officials? A convention
Of all snow shoe and toboggan clubs can be
called at an early date, TO which each club
can send five delegates, and in addition to
electing such officers they can at the same
time transact other business that might come
up before such body. If this su -gestion
meets with your approval, will you issue a
call for such convention to be held at what.
ever time you think it advisable?

terms: Thirty men from each club to start
from some point to be agreed upon. the run
to be to Merriam Park or Minneapolis;

or, if members of both arrive at the same
time, the club having the largest number to
be the winner, the losing club TO contribute
a supper to the entire party, and the run to

A Suit Begun i'm st. Paul TO Prevent
Iowa Officials From Levying ON


An application was made yesterday to the
United States circuit court, on behalf of the
Pullman Palace Car company, for an injunc-
ton restraining the officers of the state OF
Iowa from collecting state tax upon the
Pullman ears. The case is rather curious
one. The tax is supposed to be levied
upon the railroad cOmpany's property in
Iowa. The Pullman cars are not owned
by the railroad company, yet the effort is
made to fasten part of the tax upon the
Pullman company. The case was argued
and submitted. In the four cases of Fuller
81 Johnson against John c. White a
motion for a reference to take testimony
was argued and submitted. In the case of
William w. Church against the Northern
Pacific road, a motion for a continuance
was denied. In the case of Charles W. E.
Sammermeyer ct al. against the German
Insurance company, and in that of john f.
Wyman against the Citizens National
bank. of Faribault, demurrers to the COM
plants were argued and submitted.

day. In the case of Thomas Preston
against Mary G0oden the jury returned a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $16S.
The case of Martin Standake against An

of George o. Lawton against L. j. A.
Launer the jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff for sos. The case of William K.
CASTOR against the Chicago, Burlington &
Northern railroad is on trial. This is an
appeal from the award of the commission
ers appointed to appraise real estate taken
for that road.
Judge Brill was holding special term

Judge SimOnS granted divorce in the
case of Thomas Kincaid against Delphine
Kincaid. In the matter Of the assessment
for opening, widening and extension of
Sixth street, from Wabasha street to Sum-
nit avenue, Judge Brill sustained the OBJ
jections of the st. Paul ArmOry association,
and the application for judgment against
lot 2 and the eaSterly half of lot g. block 5,
of Rice & IrVine's addition, was denied.
L. r. A. Howe has brought suit against
II. r. Hollinshead to recover S305.81. The
plaintiff says he and the defendant went
into partnership to share the expense and
profits alike, and that the defendant got the
most out of it. He therefore wants the
latter to pay back.
In the cnse of Jacob Manner VS.. S. E.
Eaton ct al. Judge Simons decides that the
plaintiff is entitled to the possession of the

of this state 1t is anticipated that move
will be made in the legislature this winter
to repeal the bill which has been on the
books but two years. which requires all
keepers of drug stores tobe registered phar-
macists. This will be attempted. it is
thought, by two or three owners of drug
stores. who are not practical pharmacists.
but who want to continue their business for
the money there is in it. The law is said
to be satisfactory to the majority of the
druggists, and to the clerks who organized
last night and it is with the idea of united
action to prevent its repeal that the organ

Knights VS.. Trades Unions.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 15.-An order was
received late yesterday afternoon. it is said
from General Master Workman Powderly.
ordering all assemblies of the Knights of
Labor to withdraw their delegates to the
federation of trades. One reason stated for
ordering this withdrawal is the aggressive
attitude of the federation towards the
Knights. The trouble is substantially the
same as that in progress in various parts of
the c0untry-KnIghts OF LABOR versus
trades unions. The federation of trades is
a similar body to trades assembly or a

A.CURIOUs CONrRIvANCE.
A Clever Little Machine Invented
by Frank n. etersOn. the POliti-
clan and Lumber Merchant.

Frank n. Peterson, the heavy weight
lumber merchant of Franconia. who came
near getting the nomination for secretary of
state in the Republican convention a few
months ago. is something of an inventor.
and during his leisure hours has worked
out a curious continuance that he calls an
adding machine, calculated to facilitate the
work of bOOkkeepers and accountants. Mr..
Peterson was registered at the Clarendon
yesterday on his way home, and he had one
of the machines with him. which he eX-
hibited to few of his friends, and its cor
rect computation of long columns of fig
ureS was watched with great deal of in
tereSt. The machine looks like
young type writer, and has ten keys
that look like the keys of typewriter. On
nine of the keys are Numbers from one to
nine and the remaining key is marked with
a cipher. There is a large wheel, on the
surface of which are numbers running from
one to ninety-nine, and two ciphers denote
the hundred. On smaller wheel working
by the side of the large one are numerals
from one to six, and thus the machine is
capable of adding single column of
figures, the amount of which will reach
900. The small wheel revoiveS once while
the large one turns six times. On a band
running round inside the rim of the large
wheel are cut nOtches which are caught by
levers attached to the keys, and which turn
the large wheel past as many numerals on
the rim as are denoted by the number on
the key. 1t is very simple arrangement,
but must have required long study and
close calculation. The wheels are covered
with tin case, and the figures are seen
through small square hole in the cover
There is no possible way for a mistake to
be made if the numbers that are to be
added are struck with the nand of the
operator. Mr.. Peterson said he couldn't
play a piano. but he could have considerable
fun with the machine when business was
dull. He carries it round in black walnut
box, and watches it with as much care as
if it was set with diamonds.
