HOW MEN DIE.

If we know all the methods of ap
proach adopted by an enemy we are the
better enabled To ward off the dana er and
nostnone the moment when surrender be
comes inevitable In many instances the
inherent strength Of the body suffices t.
enable Il to oppose the tendency toward
death. Many however have lost these
forces 10 such an extent that there is lit
tie or no help. In other cases little aid
TO the weakened Lungs will make all the
difference between sudden death and
many wears of useful life. Upon the first
symptoms of Cough Cold or any trouble
Of the Throat or Lungs, give that old and
we'll known remedy-Boschee' German
Syrup, careful trial. 1t will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "benefac

MINNEAPOLIS,
A RULING REQUESTED.

Those aldermen who objected on
charter grounds to paying the cost of
Illuminating Nicollet avenue have not
succeeded in making it clear to the pub
lie that they cannot legally appropriate
the amount. 1t is not llear that they
cannot appropriate the money for street
lighting purposes. Why cannot this
$4,000 come out of the general fund and
be charged to street lighting?
The council certainly iliuminates
all and any of the public
streets, without special legislative au-
thority. and why cannot Nicollet ave-
aue be Illuminated in this particular
way without violating the letter or the
spirit of the charter? If the council
saw tit to extend string of electric
lights along Minnehaha avenue clear to
Fort Smelling, it would do it, and 1t is
little singular why Nicollet avenue can
not now be Illuminated for the eXposi-
ton. without going to the legislature
for authority. The GLOBE would like
b ruling Oh this point.

ALL SORTS.

1t will be seven days wonder if some
of the Minneapolis soldiers of Republic
can faith and Canadian tendencies in
1861 will be able to sleep soundly while
the United States army is in command
of a Democrat. Gen. SchOfield would
pc perfect in their eyes, were he only a
Republican.
Can it really be that in the sacred
precincts of the Eighth ward a Sunday
cock fight has taken place? Perish the
thought! The territory made holy hy
the footsteps of Albert Lawrence and
Alick Millar could never be so polluted.
Escaping DRINKS and roughS should
be careful to know whether a pursuing
patrOlman means to try to hit them. 1t
Is these shots 'fired in the air. and
Sincerely to scare" that are dangerous.
One or two little local politicians are
busfly running to the newspapers to
state just how they stand between GER
tain candidates. And they do it, too,
sublimely ignorant of the fact that no
one cares how they stand. or would not
care, at least, if the thought Of such lit
.le fellows ever came to them.
Some months ago Henry j. Altnow,
one of the clerks in the office of the
clerk of the district court, compiled a
table showing the returns of the clergy
IiSi Oli Ill11loSO llCtuStS lSSuCu
from the Office for some years past. The
number of returns was very small in
proportion to the number of licenses
issued, and attention was called to
the fact that the law provided that a
return must be made inside of thirty
days. This statement, published in
the city press at the time, bore fruit, for
few days after it appeared Rev. A. B.
Co-eman, who married John Logan and
Anna Wilson in 1866, made return on
the license. Yesterday afternoon Mrs.
c. f. Dykeman put in an appearance at
the clerks office and asked for the re-
turn Oh her marriage with Mr.. Dyke
man in 1878. She was looking this up
In order that she might secure a pen
zion. but no return could be found.
1t is going to be the regulation Mime
apolis local campaign this fall. The
Republicans are trying to work their
non-partisan racket, and the board of
trade has put in its oar i'll its usual lofty
way.
Mayor Ames-I mean to do my best to
defeat bossism in my party, if sacrifice
my chances for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation.
Theboard of equalization is raising hob
This year, and will probably increase the
assessment on hob before it gets
through.
Mayor Ames' chances are surely on
the wane. Joe JepsOn, Levi German
md Orville Rmehart have served notice
that they will not support him.

programme embraced both instrumental
music, and the various numbers were

tons embraced piano, violin and vocal
solos as well as singing by the quartette,
whose ages ranged from sixteen to nine

tinehan was especially agreeable, and
when it is considered what great dis
advantage blindness is to a musician,
the performance can be said to be truly
wonderful.

AGREE TO DISAGREE.
The Famous Dobbin Divorce
Ends in Separation.

1t is great pity, sometimes, that the
law does not mete out the Justice which
the public seeks at its hands. 1t was
particularly pity that in the recent
famous D0bbin divorce case, Judge
Lochren found that the law would not
break the bond that was making two
lives miserable. The parties to the suit
will now drag out separate and love-
less existence, where the law might
have offered relief and future happi-
ness to both. Mrs. Lizzie Day Dobbin,
the wife in name only, has gone to Los
Angeles to make her own living, and
will never see her husband again. She
independently refused to accept ANY,
thing from j. l.. Dobbin and borrowed
the money to take her to her new home.
where she expects to make living at
her former occupation of teaching
school. Mr.. Dobbin said there was no
possibility of recOnciljng their differ
ences and offered her separate main
tenance. but having taken the first step,
she determined to press on and declined
to accept anything at his hands. Friends
of both parties say it is a very sad case
and regret that the law could not sepa-
rate two persons Of utterly incompatible
temperament. Married people takc
each other for better or for worse. and
the Dobbins certainly took each other
for worse.

human treatment toward her, and fire.
quently called her vile and indecent
names in the presence of neighborS.
She also charged that he refused to pro-

she was obliged to support herself.
