How G.H. stuart. Life w.s Saved.

MAJOR Patterson's Speech at Valley Camp.
II had to take good care of Mr.. Stuart"
said the major" when he came forward to
the front. 81 remember one time he came
to see me at an army hospital. He was
sick. 1 tried to make him very comfort
able and some of the other people didn't
like to see it. They said to me: 'Patter-
son, Stuart isn't any better than anybody
else, and we don't like this oh, but he
is replied; he gives us so much money.
We must take care of him. That night
Mr. Stuart was taken seriously ill. The
surgeon thought he would die. They told
me that there was one thing that might
save him. And what do you think it was?
They said; Patterson, if you can make
Mr.. Stuart laugh he might get better 1
said l would try. In our tent was an
Irishman who had been SICK. He was
sleeping soundly that night and l gota big
spoon and the biggest potato could find
and l went over to his bedside and put
the spoon iii his one hand and the potato in
the other. Then | lighted lamp. The
lrishman was snorting like q tornado. [
said to Mr.. Stuart: Just look at that
lrishman, will you?' Mr.. Stuart was just
able to turn his head, and when he saw
the spoon and the potato, sick as he was,
he laughed aloud-and he got better. That
is how I saved his lite.'' The audience
shouted with laughter and Mr. Stuart,
though he has heard the story time and
time again, laughed as heartily as any one
in the audience.

SEVENTH WARD VALUATION.


Just what Constitutes ssNevv Terri
tory ass and ssNew Territory By
Officially Explained.
''The Pioneer Press consumes half col
INN of editorial space in showing up what
called the Minneapolis Tribune's mares
aest relative to the assessment of the Sew
snth ward. The Tribune tries to show that
she Seventh ward is outrageously assessed
10 the amount of SIS, 207, sos for real and
personal property, and the Pioneer Press
endeavorS to refute the statement and pro-
duceS a sadder cOnglomeration of figures
than the former, for in neither have the
Seventh ward figures been given correctly,
or even alluded to. Both have discussed
the assessment of this section, using as
basis figures on other sections of the city,
known as New Territory A. and New Ter
ritory b. the latter being taken by the Pho
neer Press for the Seventh ward, when it
is entirely separate from it"
The above comment was made to
GLOBE reporter yesterday, and for con-
vincing proof of what these new territories
are the reporter called on County Assessor
Beaumont and asked him to define them
which he did as follows:
Prior to 1872 the city of st. Paul was
bounded on the east by Arcade street, on the
north by MInnehaha street and on the west
by Dale street. In that year was taken into
the city what is now designated on our books
as ''New Territory A. which consists of
strip of land between Arcade and English
streets on the east, between Minnehaha and
Maryland streets on the north and between
Dale street and Lexington avenue on the
west, being strip think just one section
wide, running around the three sides of the
old city. In 1856 there was added to the old
city both the Seventh ward, known as such,
and ''New Territory b. The latter is strip
half a section wide running north and south
east of English street. and ON the north from

tionists of wholesome law, and reused to
sort of madness because their fellow-citizens
have organized to make them heed statutes
which close every other store aud suspend all
assume the part of propagandists,
and the Columbia association sends
forth its apostles to oppose high
license, or prohibition, or any legislation
likely TO restrain traffic which is essentially
everywhere a breaker of all law, and
despiser of the moral well-being Of the peo-
ple The saloon interests give their flag to
the breeze, and intend to capture the next
legislature. and to rule the state as they have
this city. Money, they claim. is not lacking,
and voters will be secured sufficient to ac-
complish their purpose. This is the outcome
of purely non-partsan attempt by the law
respecting citizens of this municipality to
make them heed its ordinances.
THE NEW ISSUE
is not one of our choosing, but forced upon
the people by the defiant attitude of the
business in question. The latter has GER
tainly not, in this city, ever made single at
tempt to conduct itself in way to show that
it meant to keep within the limits prescribed
by law. 1t has never resented or formally
condemned the attempt to sell without
license-a not infrequent occurrence within
the city'S precincts; it has never made it
condition to entrance into any liquor associa-
ton that such humane provisions as the
not selling to minors and habitual drunkards
shall be observed; 1T has never sought to
make obligatory upon members OF its guild,
the needing the Sunday closing ordinance.
What is said of it everywhere, however Sc
we're is deserved, because of this lawless char
acter attaching universally to it. What are
citizens to think of a traffic whose record is
such? What can liquor men expect but that
they will be opposed by Prohibitionists or
other practical temperance men SO long as
they stand forth as opponents of the Sabbath,
of all just and wholesome limitations imposed
solely in the interests of humanity and public
peace and good morals? Gov. Robinson, at
the anniversary of the Massachusetts, Law
and Order league, said that no one could show
his face in any community in that state and
oppose its humane endeavors. These leagues
in Eastern states and cities have become the
recognized allies OF the authorities and have
been instrumental in reducing Sabbath
drunkenness, and in preventing the selling of
liquor to minors. All right minded men have
wished these leagues success.

GILMAN VS.. ULLMAN.
A Lively Time OH the Occasion Of a
Visit OF the Husband to the Wife.

Visit OF the Husband to the Wife.
Fred Ullman. who has brought suit for
divorce from his wife, Emma Ullman, on
the ground of adultery. seems to still exer-
else a watchful care over her. For the past
week Mrs. Ullman has been staying at a
boarding house on Exchange street, pend
ing the divorce proceedings. In the mean
time Ullman has been explaining to his
friends and acquaintance how his wife had
been untrue to him, and mentioning dates,
places and the names of those whom he
claims were the guilty parties. Notwith-
standing his talk it seems he still feels
kindly toward the woman and is jealous of
her movements. Yesterday afternoon he
visited the house where she boarded and
endeavored to enter the room. In the apart
ment with Mrs. Ullman was her attorney
and a police official who resides at Mime
apolis. Some one had told the attorney that
Ullman was desperate man and carried
gun foot long. Consequently when Ullman
demanded an entrance there was sudden
departure of the two from the room. The
attorney took the window, the Minneapolis
police official another and Mrs. Ullman es-
capped through all adjoining room. Some
one sent for police officer, but before he
arrived the trouble was over Shortly
afterward Mrs. Ullman took room at
hotel and after barricading the door, armed
herself with revolver which she said she
would use if her husband made any at
tempts to assault her. Up to midnight
there had been no further trouble.

POISONED BEEF VICTIMS.

They Are All Better But Net Well
Yet--Arsenic Thought to be the
Cause.
The family of James Coombes. who
were poisoned from eating canned beef
Saturday, were all better yesterday after
noon. Six people were made sick, these
being Mr.. and Mrs. Coombes, two young
daughters, Mr.. Coombes' brother George
and Joseph Saleys, one of the children who
was ailing, not being allowed to partake of
the meat. The baby and Mrs. Coombes
were the worst sufferers, but DR.. Hawkins
said last evening that he thought all were
better and would recover from the
poisoning The worst feature of
their cases now is the caustic results
of the poison, which the doctor thinks is
undoubtedly arsenic, as all the symptoms
pointed to this. A drink of water was
enough to set anyone of them to vomiting,
and the medicine given by the doctor was
hydrated oxide of iron and magnesia, which
was not an emetic but as neutralizer, and
as large quantities of it would hurt no one
the patients were provided with plenty of
it. Among the symptoms were violent
cramps in the limbs which would draw up
with knotted muscles, causing intense
agony. Although recovered from the first
shock of the poison the sick peoples tongues
are red and raw, as are their threats, as if
burned by the arsenic. Some of the matter
thrown up has been preserved by DR..
Hawkins, and will be analysed.

Rice street east to the city limits, extending
the city on the east and north TO
the present limits, and being in the shape OF
q carpenters square, only with the two
parts nearer equal. In the Pioneer Press
article, which is misleading this is COMPOUNDED
with the Seventh ward which was added to
the city at the same time and the writer has
been talking about the Seventh ward as
Bessment without ever mentioning the ward at
all as far as the figures are concerned"
The figures and explanation: The Trib-
une assumed that the valuation of the
Seventh ward was SIS, 2O7, sos, which in
reality is the combined assessment of real
and personal property in New Territory
A" and New Territory B." The Pioneer
Press insists that it is only S1,058. SIS.
which is in reality New Territory B." but
the actual assessment of Seventh ward
property real and personal which is NEIL
toned by neither paper is So, 757, 39S. Of
this amount the assessor returned So, $685.
44S for real estate, but this was thought
very much too small by the board of equal
ization and it was increased from 20 to 100
per cent. according to locality, so that Mr..
Beaumont thinks it will reach $4,000, 900
when the figures are corrected.
