Modern Progress
And the Demand of Today
A Matter of Supreme Importance

We live in an era of progress. In every de-
partment of business, in the arts, sciences
and mechanics, new things are constantly
being discovered, new facts developed, old
theories dispelled, old methods discarded.
Inventive genius was never more active or so
successful as to-day.
This progress in all things has, of course.
pervaded the professions of pharmacy and
medicine. The result is that there has been
a great change in the method of preparing,
combining and administering curative agents.
Many articles extensively used by our fathers
and physicians of forty years ago, and sup
posed to contain great remedial value, have
been discovered to be either absolutely inert,
or, perhaps. actually injurious to the human
system. For instance, mercury was a com
ponent part of many of the medicines taken
by our fathers; now ii is known to be an in
furious drug, and its use is avoided as much
as possible.
What folly tits, then. to talk of the value of
''old time remedies" or to claim superior
virtue in the medicines of our fathers"
Those ancient formula have had their day
and must be allowed to rest with the dead
past, where they belong.
What today needs is medicine

DIED IN COLORADO.
A Daughter OF Ex-Gov. Austin
Succumbs to Consumption.

Ex-Gov. Austin received telegram
Thursday evening from his wife in Col
orado Springs announcing the death of
their daughter, Ida w. Austin. The
news was not unexpected, as she had
been suffering for some time with con-
sumption. She took severe cold in
Boston two years age, and since then
has suffered continuously, though every
thing that loving friends could suggest
was done for her. A year ago last sum-
mer she was taken to the Yellowstone
park, with favorable results, as it
seemed, and the following winter was
spent in New Mexico, and last summer
at Lake Minnetonka. Fearing another
winter in Minnesota, she was taken to
Colorado, and hopes for her recovery
were many, and the indomitable will of
the sufferer sustained her much longer.
Had she lived, she would have been
twenty-three years of age on May s.
She was young lady of unusual nat
ural ability and excellent attainments,
and her future seemed very bright in
deed. This is the first time that death
has entered this family. The remains
will arrive in St. Paul to-day in charge
of Mrs. Austin and Miss Lenora Austin,
who were with her when she died.

10" Business Being Handled by
ALI Local Roads---An Engineers
Ideas.
Although the strike is practically
ended in ST. Paul, the embargo, con-
trary to expectations, has not yet been
officially raised. Notwithstanding this
fact, all the roads yesterday were re-
ceiving and handling 20" business the
same as if strike had never occurred.
Many of the strikers have again taken
charge of their engines, though a few
still linger to give things an Official
rounding up. Said one of the brother
hood last evening:
Eyes, the Chicago, Burlington &
Northern is not only willing, but glad to
take back the men. 1t saves the road
great expense in repairing Sburned-out
and drowned engines. and its old pas
senger trade, that left it when the
'ScabS' came on and went over other
roads, is being regained. We deny that
we are defeated but for reasons
best known to ourselves, prefer TO
go to work again temporarily.
1t is probable that you will yet see
every wheel in the country tied up,
within short time. Still water runs
deep You know, and there is strong
undercurrent that is rapidly working to
the surface. To all intentS and pur-
poses the strike is off in st. Paul, but it
is merely temporary give in III order
that we may have time to thoroughly
strengthen our position. The public
thinks that we have weakened and
thrown up the sponge. In so thinking
the public underestimate the strength
of our order and the character and stay
ing qualities of the members. To COM
pletely abandon this controversy ana
acknowledge defeat. might, and III fact
would, result disastrously to the brother
hood and weaken it in many respects. Ii
is question really of life and death and
you can bank your last dollar that we 40
not entertain the remotest idea OF letting
the brotherhood go to pieces. Ii you
were member of the brotherhood, and
could hear this matter discussed, you
would see a love for the order OF the
strength of which no outsider ever
dreams. They are as detetermined as
on the day the strike first commenced.
We know our strength; we know we
can tie up every wheel in the country
by acting in concert, and quickly gain
our point, and everybody else is aware
of this fact. Now, then, having such
knowledge, with the added fact that It
means life or death to the order, would
we not be worse than foolish to acknowl-
edge ignominious defeat and quietly re.
turn to odr posts at the old standard of
wages? At present we cannot hope to
gain much by prolonging the strike here,
so we may as we'll be working until the
broth is cooked. At present they are
arranging matters in Chicago so that
members of the brotherhood all over the
country may understand the situation
thoroughly. The brotherhood has not
given up the fight, nor does it intend to
give it up. 1t is working secretly, and
the leaders are aware that talking must
cease. The time for blowing and talk
ing is over. The time has come to act,
not merely to furnish news. See that
you do not mlsconstrue what have
said"

WEST sIDERS PROTEST.

Shey Object to Paying Taxes and
Penalties for improvements Not
Yet Begun.
The West Side union held a regular
meeting last evening. Dr.. J. g. McNa-
mara. from the committee on health and
sanitation, read report in which atten-
zion was called to the condition of the
yards and alleys on that side of the
river and recommending that they be
cleaned before the advent of spring;
also advising people to discard well for
city water. The report also recon-
mended the burning Of garbage and
night soil.
Aid. Bryant made a verbal report as
TO what had been done in the matter of
building the new span of the WabaSha
street bridge.
Mr.. Lienau introduced the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the system of max
ing assessments for improvements that
have not yet been begun, and the col
lection of taxes with interest and pen
atty levied to meet the cost of said i'm
provementS, thereby depriving the peO-
pie of the use OF their money for six or
twelve months without paying them in
qualified diSapprOval, and this union
asks the board of public works what au-
thority they have to demand pay for
what has not yet been done?"
Messrs. Boston and Bryant spoke in
favor of the resolution, and it was
adopted.
Mr.. Lienau introduced another resoIu-
ton, calling on the board of public
works to use less haste and more dis
erection iii the cutting and grading of
streets on the West side, thereby tend
ing to destroy the natural beauty of that
section of the city.
Mr. Hornsby spoke in favor of the
resolution, and said that the West
side was blessed with unusually beau
tiful sites for residences, and he, for
one, objected to this cutting of I'M
slightly gaSheS through the hills. Mr..
Lienau agreed with Mr.. HOrnsby. He
had been in great many cities, but he
had yet to see such craze for cutting
and leveling as exists in st. Paul.
kansas City, San Francisco and Los
Angeles have hills as high as st. Paul,
but they do not cut through them as we
DO, said the speaker Mr.. Stanley OBJ
jected to the resolution. He said that
Baptist hill. a once famous mole on the
face of St. Paul. had been cut away to
the great benefit of the city. These
hills would Interfere with the uniform
ity Of the sewerage system.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on streets, roads and parks.
Mr.. Boston thought the West side had
arrived at such stage of commercial
Importance as to be able to support
good public house OF hotel. No action
was taken on his suggestion, adjourn
ment following.
