CONVINCING. Facts are the most con-
vincing of arguments. When aman puts
pistol close to your head and mildly
remarks that you don't need your purse
any longer. and that those who have
ought to give to those who have not, there
is something so convincing in his tones
that you simply say, "Heaven helps
themselves and allow him to do just as
he pleases. When you recite the mat
ter to your neighbors, your nervous
system is so illustrated" that you de-
clare that you cOllared the rascal, deli
vered him over to the police threw his
pistol into ditch. ard presented the
purse to a missionary who was ju,t star
ting for the Cannibal Islands. Human
nature is very eccentric.

Catarrh Is Inflammation Of the mucous
membrane, attended with increased secretion.
Thus catarrh may affect the head, throat
stomach, bowels, or any part of the body
where the mucous membrane is found. But
catarrh of the head is by far The most common,
coming on so gradually that often its pres
ence is not suspected till il has obtained a
firm hold on its victim, 1t is caused by a
cold, or a succession Of colds, combined with
Impure Blood.
When firmly established the disease is ex-
ceedingly diGagreeahe causing flow from the
nose, dryness of the throat, headache, loss Of
appetite, roaring and buzzing noises In the
ears, etc. In Hoods Sarsaparilla may be
found a prompt and permanent cure for
catarrh. 1t purihcs and enrches the blood,
soothes and rebuilds the diseased membrane,
and thus soon cures the disease. At the same
time 1t refreshes and tones the whole system.
The remarkable success OF this peculiar
medicine entities it to your confidence. Give
Hoods Sarsaparilla a trial

Young and Frank Morse are the acknowledged

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
John J. Ankeny came to Minneapolis In
1857, and has had two terms experience as
subordinate in the postoffice, once under his
brother, in 1850, once under COL Aldrich, in
1858. He was afterward in the boot and shoe
business, and OF recent years has engaged
in Insurance and real estate His residence
is 1909 Hawthorn avenue and he has pleas
ant cottage at Brightwood, Lake Minnetonka
Maj. Henderson said last night he had made
good and honorable fight and had done the
best he knew how. He had nothing to regret
except another had got the plum.
Last night Col. Glenn said he had no more
feeling in the matter than if he had lost
cigar. Life was too short for him to indulge
in regrets.
Scion Armstrong of the East side, who has
so often been the sacrificial lamb for the
Democratic party, will be deputy postmas-
ter.
j. H. Rolfe, who was put down as an active
candidate, but who never turned his hand
over, was not a bit disgruntled.
There was sure to have been some leaden
hearts, no matter what the choice might
have been.
Cl0NcuS-IHo pFeSlucIl HIS iuitue ulOlO
friends for Col. Glenn than he ever had be-
fore.
This is the second time the presidential
lightning has struch into the Ankeny family.
About the time Ankenys term expires the
new pos to flee will be ready for occupancy.
Judge Rand looked last evening as though
he had lost his best friend.
It was Il case of three being called and one
being chosen.
1t will be Postmaster Ankeny.

ALE SORTS.

1t is shrewdly conjectured that the sleep of
President Tom Lowry was sweet ard peace
full last night.
A dead blind pig, suitably labeled, is on ex-
hibition at one of the lake Calhoun resorts. 1t
carries it's own moral.
The electric motor was off yesterday. It is
something like the telephone girl-all right if
you can only get there.
Unless the presidential head is made of
adamant he cannot refuse to attend and
open the Minneapolis Industrial exposition.
Congressman Gilfillan's principal CLAIM for
denomination seems to be that usage has
always given two terms.
One reason why number of Democrats
seemed disgruntled over the postofice ap-
pointment was that Republicans were pleased.
That's strange!
''We translate our business for the benefit
of the English speaking reporters said
delegate to the Augustana synod yesterday.
II wonder if any English meeting would do
the same for Swedish reporter"
Supt. McKinstry would do long-suffering
public great favor if he would step into the
telephone exchange and overhear some of the
lazy 1mpudence of the operators. The ex-
change needs another newspaper overhaul
ing. 1t is getting very careless and in at
tent1ve.
novel contest will take place this evening
between Police Officer John Schroeder and M.
Franklin. 1t will be held before Professor
Staumpf, and will decide which of the two
men speaks the better English T he contest
was brought about in this way: A few days
ago Mr.. BachSwert, of the Golden Eagle
clothing store, and Mr.. Franklin were speak
ing of the English language, and Mr.. Franklin
made the remark that he could speak it bet
ter than most foreigners. Officer Schroeder
passed, and Mr.. Bachswert said that there
was man who could speak the language.
Inside of ten minutes Mr.. Bachswert had bet
Sl10 against Mr.. Franklin's $50 that Schroeder
was the better man. A contest was arranged
and will be watched with interest.

THE NEW COLLEGE
The Subject of Discussion at the
Augustana Synod.

The discussion pertaining to the details
of the new college building at Rock Island
was resumed yesterday morning by the
Augustana synod of the Swedish Lutheran
church. Motions to refer the matter to the
board of directors and to the next meeting
of the synod were defeated. and resolu-
ton lnStructing the directors to erect a.
suitable building was adopted. The finan-
clal aspect OF the college was next discussed
at considerable length. President Carlson
suggested that an assessment of SO cents
should be collected from each communicate
OF the synod. Rev. Hoblem opposed this
idea strenuously, and thought that volun-
tary subscriptions should be solicited. DR..
Hasselquist thought that there was too
much begging already, but said that the
project OF establishing college should re-
celve hearty support without much urging.
Rev. b. M. Holland of Illinois and Prof.
Olson were opposed to the assessment plan
and urged that subscriptions should be
received. After some further discussion
an amendment offered by Rev. Holland in
favor OF soliciting subscriptions was
adopted. Rev. l.. A. Hocanzan, J. A. En-
ander. Gustav johnson and O. w. William
son We're elected to serve as building
committee during the ensuing year. A
greeting was ordered sent to the Lutheran
synod in session at Easton, Pa.
IN THE. AFTERNOON
the devotional exercises were conducted by
Rev. n. Oshlund, and Rev. G. j. Damshon
preached upon ''True Repentance In

Flowers STOLEN.

To the Editor of the Glooe:
1t would appear that the opinion generally
prevails that public parks, public institutions
and public buildings belonging to the public
are the legitimate prey of individual maraud-
ers that any or everybody is entitled to
gather flowers and even to carry Off whole
plants from the few public gardens adjoining
