DEATH OF LONE HOLBROOK.

A telegram from Mr.. S. F. Holbrook at
10 o'clock Tuesday bore the sad news of
the death of Prof l.. l.. HolbIook,
Familiarity known to all friends as LONE.
After long struggle with that most
dreadful of all diseases-consumptio
Ionic finally yielded up to the inevitable
this morning, and his spirit has gone
hence to meet Him who gave it.
He was patient to the last, and never
fully lost faith in his ultimate recovery
of health. But Deaths stamp had been
depicted upon his brow for weeks, and
his closest friends knew that the end
was drawing near. While the announce
ment of his death will cause little sur
prise, yet the fact that he is dead will
cause pang Of sorrow to sink into the
breast of every one who knew him.
Gentle in manners, with an amiable
temperament he endeared himself to
those most intimately known to him to
surprising degree. And especially
fond of him were his music pupils, who
became attached to HIM as to a brother.
The parents and relatives of the de-
ceased will find consolation in the fact
that all friends share in their grief at
this time. Funeral services were held
at 903 Hennepin Ave-, Wednesday,
at O'Clock ID. m.

SHOULD BE OBEYED.

Each fire company in the city has two
members sworn in with full police pow
ers on occasions of fire, and the city
should furnish these gentlemen with
badges, so that their authority may not
be questioned. 1t is customary for a
large number of people to rush to fire
whenever the alarm is sounded, and il
is not unusual for a goodly number OF
the curiously inclined to place them
selves directly III the way of the fire.
men, causing those whose efforts are be-
ing put forth to save property from de-
struction vast amount of annoyance,
say nothing about loss of time required
to get the intruders out of the way.
These special policemen should be
obeyed without question, and as before
remarked, they should be supplied with
some sort of badge rs mark of their
authority.

The hotel committee held conference

paugh the object ofwhich was to close the

The uncertainty which many thought
hung over the matter is thus at an end,

HEARD ON THE STREETS.

G. NJ. Phillips: "The new chemical
engine was Il great success at the last
fire. There is nothing like one of these
engines for putting out fire when ii
first starts. 1t isn't any good after a
fire has gained considerable Roadway.
Fifty gallons of the chemical prepare
ton are worth fifty barrels of water.
The acid used in one of these engines
burns right through anything ana has
to be handled carefully, but as it comes
out of the nozzle, after being diluted, it
doesn't burn much"
M
Glenn Schroeder: "There is hospital
at New Ulm that is very successfully
managed by the Sisters of Charity. They
are the ones that ought to have charge
of our hospital, when we get one."

Chief Fowler: There is a certain
set of people in the Fourth ward that
are holding meetings around in stores
and saving that they will never allow
any dogs of theirs to be taken up by the
police. Just wait until notice has been
given in the official paper and We'll see
what the police will do. These people
will find that not only their dogs but
they themselves will be taken mp. We
don't propose to have any nonsense

Stolen Horse Recovered.
MAPLETON. Aprll 9

MAPLETON, April q.
They have him. Constable Tenney
arrested Frank Campbell yesterday
charged with stealing the horse from NJ
Schlingerman. The horse also was
found. Campbell has been making his
home with Gid. Doty, of Sterling. The
horse was taken into a thicket near Mr..
Doty's, where he was kept all day We'd
nesday; but in the evening the thief be-
came frightened and cut him loose, and
he was afterwards found in Mr.. Roberts
yard. Yesterday the place where the
horse was kept was discovered by
Messrs. Doty and H. Fisk, as was also
the piece of the halter which was cut off
and left tied to the tree. The place OF
concealment was well chosen, and only
for the fact that suspicion pointed i'm the
right direction, the thief might have es-
capped entirely. The examination has
been postponed until May I'd, when it is
expected the county attorney will APP
pear and conduct the prosecution.
The seeding is practically all done,
and the gentle shower lost night did a
world of good.
The Napoleon Roller Mill has again
taken first rank. James Pierson is now
the miller, and as soon as that was
known all the old patrons and many
new ones returned, and the mill is being
crowded to it's utmost capacity.

Famous Women.

1t is significant fact that most of the
women who have achieved fame in art,
literature, or "affairs," have enjoyed
vigorous health. This shows that the
mind is never capable of the severe and
continued application necessary to Crea-
tive work, unless the body is at it's best.
The woman VINO aspires to fill an exalt-
ed place among her associates, must be
free from nervous debility and female
weaknesses. DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription will Danish these, and it Is war
ranted to restore those functional har.
monies which are Indispensable TO

Ic weaknesses and ailments peculiar to

Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-18

IT is nothing new to fiad our esteemed
contemporary, the Times, indulging in
gross misrepresentation of men and
things. In fanatic endeavor to find
something in the Democratic primaries
to rival the gross ruffianism of the God
and Morality primaries, at which ballot
boxes were smashed and their contents
thrown into the street, the Times, in its
issue of yesterday, got up cock and bull
story about Theodore Bauer and Billy
Manning having gone down to the Sec
ond precinct of the First Ward 10 get up
bulldozing performance in the interest
of Thomas J. Cuddy Tor Sheriff. 1t was
an invention out of whole cloth. There
was not even shadow of color or iustif
cation for this charge. Billy Manning
was not at any hour of the day near the
First Ward polls. We have his own
statement for this assertion, and we have
no doubt that Bauer's performances were
equally mythical. A considerable por-
ton of the space of the other journals of
Los Angeles is devoted to rectifying the
roorbacks stated by the Times. In this
case the attempt is made to besmirch the
Democratic party, which covered itself
with honor by the high degree of order
and propriety which characterized every
stage of the primaries held on Thursday.
