that it is The very height of impu-

In remarks upon the comparative
value Of advertising space, George p.
Rowell 81 Co.'s "Ncwspaper Dir cto
~" for 1888, now in press, speaks as
follows of the advantages which Sun
day newspapers offer to advertiser:
"In daily papers, adver isemeIts
are WORTH about one bird the price
which weekly Issue the same num-
Der Of copies can demand. Sunday
papers. semi and tri.weekles aud all
publications issued more frequently
than once a week are usually classed
witt dailies in fixing the value of
their space, but Sunday papers par
take largely CT The character of week
lies, aud this is the reason why they
are popular with advertisers. AS t me
passes the ra'es of charge for ad ' err
tislng in them will tend toward a
higher schedule. They now secure
more than fair share of advertising
pa ronsge because, considering both
quaint tv aud quality, the rates are gen.
orally too low"

The above was a

down to bottom rock to find the true de-
post. Hence, the indolent man, the su-
perficial, the artificial man, was spoken OF
as Surface washer" Such man IN
pain gives one OF two superficial rubbings
with the pain cure, actually too indifferent
to bring about its true effects by friction
creating warmth. He simply washes the
surface, and if miracle is not performed
by curing him at once, he believes there is
no virtue in the preparation. 1t he only
knew that chronic and crippled cases have
been cured permanently after forty, thirty,
twenty years ofsuflering, he would, perhaps,
as these patients have done, give 1t an INTEL
ligent and patient trial. But he is sur
face washer" and what he says about 1t ls
superficial nonsense. Not so with the
earnest man, who earnestly seeks prompt
relief and certain cure he acts according
to the directions. For instance Two
years ago Mr.. John OFT, Sr., of st. Boniiace
Cambria county, Pa, was afflicted with IN
Gammatory rheumatism in acute form, and
was permanently cured, as he tcstlies IN
the following: st. Bonface, February II,
1ss7-I herewith express my kindest re-
gaids to your remedy for lis great healing
qualities. Two years ago ] was taken to
bed with intlammatory rheumatism, and
got so bad that one OF my legs was par
alyzed and swelled up a. thick as bag,
burning and paining feariully. l could
not get out of bed nor could move my
leg OF let any one touch it for all the pleas
ures of the world My son advised Inc
to apply your St. Jacobs Oil and after two
applications was able to walk used half
a bottle, and have not felt rheumatism
since In my estimation gold will not
compare with it. | am ready to testify
take oath to the above at any time If
desired Mr.. OFT was certainly no super
fetal manipulation with so valued rem
edy. He experienced all the pleasures Of
the world in his prompt and permanent
cure; and to such patient who followed
directions strictly, and was relieved OF
torture, gold will truly not compare with
bis estimation Of its benefcence.

THE CHICAGo.BALL CHIEF.
A. G. Spaldfng in Minneapolis
Interesting Ball Talk.

The tall and robust form of A. G.
Spalding, the Chicago base ball mag
nate, loomed up in Nicollet avenue yes
terday. Fred Leland had him in tow,
showing the sights of the great sporting
center. Mr.. Spalding is chock full of
base ball information and can talk it
well, so it was not long before he was
led off into discussion upon the sub
ject.
NO, | can understand he said,
why Minneapolis is not as good a ball
town as one could want There are
enough people here and they certainly
take enough interest in base ball to sup
port good team. One great trouble is
the price ball costs. Salary lists are
running up out of proportion and there
must be general shaking down before
long. Too many cities are struggling
along making nothing, simply from car
rying too heavy load of salaries. De-
trolt is the mostnotable instance of this.
1t has not made dollar out of the game
ana Its terrific salaries are responsible.
Ihey led off i'll this and there is no sense
in it."
ut is certainly much worse in pro-
portion in the minor leagues then, is it
not?"
"Yes, it is. / wonder how many of
the smaller cities and good many
larger ones can live and pay their men?
st: Paul pays altogether too much. A
salary OF $50 or S175 a month is an
abundance for the average player, and
II that salary were general, the players
would be satisfied. There are excep-
tlonal men who might be worth 81, 500 a
season, but they are few. AS good men
n -irf ,ln,
minor league can sell off a good man for
$500 it should never hesitate. | pre-
diet there will be a general shaking up
on this question before long"
"Of course, Chicago will win the
league pennant?"
"Of course. We have kept the lead
long enough, now let some other team
carry 1t for a month or so and we will
come in on the stretch. Our people ex-
pect that, and we don't have to win all
the time to get crowd out. A Chicago
audience simply wants good ball and
they'll cheer the victors whoever they
may be. Detroit is different. Now
there is great ball team, but because
they won last year, their people want
the earth, and if the team loses game
they say they're no good and don't turn
out: AS say, Detroit is not making a
dollar, and some others are in the same
boat. Indianapolis is doing well. be-
lleve, but Washington is not.''
what do you think of a national
league team here to represent the Twin
cities, with park half way between
the cities?''
well, would it be supported? A
league team is an awful-fnancial load
to carry, but if these cities would join
In such scheme don't see but that it
might be made great go. 1t would
only be ten minutes from either city to
the ground. DO you know, thought of
that years ago, when we had the trouble
with st. Louis. l don't know but it's
scheme that one day may blossom into
beautiful reality"

MINNEAPOLIS.
DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.

There are some few Democrats who
have allied themselves with the move
ment to nominate citizens ticket for
the city election. They are few in
number, but there are some. They are
guided by mistaken sense of duty and
right. Those Democrats are most
anxious to secure the election of the
Democratic state ticket and to carry
through the electors for Cleveland and
Thurman. They are as ardent to this
end as those Democrats who refuse to
he hoodwinked by the citizens ticket,
but they forget the bearing
this citizens ticket will have
on the general election. The
Republicans are sharper and are trying
to reap the advantage. The willy schem-
ers of that party are anxious to elm
mate all that is possible of party con-
test, because they know their state,
congressional and county ticket will
have palmer sailing. What are these
Democrats thinking of? The mole is
less blind than they! 1t is their duty to
nominate good, clean and competent
man for mayor and make good, clean
and thorough fight for his election, and
thereby bring out voters to the support
of the state and congressional tickets.
The harder the fight is waged, the more
Democratic votes will be made. Has
this fact ever presented itself to these
Democrats who favor citizens ticket?
If it becomes necessary to go into
citizens movement to secure good men,
it would be different, but such is not the
case. AS good Democrat can be nomi-
mated by Democrats as by mass con-
yentiOn

A BATCH OF WEATHER.

Another red hot day, with the custom
airy wind storm at evening. And how
hot it was. Steam ran three feet from
the stacks of the motors before it be-
came sufficiently condensed to be visi-
bic. The mercury scared aloft among
the unused figures in thermometers
until its altitude could scarcely be told.
By all means, it was the champion
warm day of the year. Every man one
met was ina temper-at least, he was
hot about something. The one solitary
cool spot in the city limits, out of
water, was in the center of the pa
vilion at Lake Harriet, where the
sun never gets and where the lake
breeze sings cadenzas through the whis-
kers OF the foliage. To keep cool was
impossible. The fiZz of soda fountains
was suggestive, but of steam escaping,
while the work necessary to grind out a
milk shake laid out drug clerks in every
direction. Still there were no sum
strokes. The people of this torrid zone
nave become used to temperature rang
ing to los deg. in the cellar, in summer,
30 minus 0deg. under the kitchen stove
in winter. They live on, just the same,
and talk directory war and base ball.
Then at night came the storm. This
time it came from the south, but Min
neapolis people know that electrical
storms can come from any direction
with equal facility. The sky took on
cyclonic complexion, and for half an
hour the wind played hide and seek with
phin1npvS SignS and warrant trees in
approved st. Cloud style. Like huge
Holian harp, the breezes played
through the iron rafters and open win
dows of the post office building, and
the sad strains of "Waiting'' were dis
tinctly audible. Then it settled down
to gentle rain, soft, lulling, cooling
rain, with an influence that would
soothe the angry passions of the Eighth
ward contestants. The hot wave was
chased of the field, and the city went
slumberously to bed.

JUMPING PROPERTY.
The Board of Equalization Sizing
Up the Assessment Lists.

me Board OF Equalization Sizing
Up the Assessment Lists.
1t the revenue resultant from the as
Sessment of 1883 is not sufficient to
meet the demands on the city treasury,
lit will not be the fault of the assessor
and the board of equalization. In these
superheated August days the board
labors away conscientiously, raising as
sessments, elevating this one little
and boosting that one out of sight.
Every day there is prolonged fight as
some mealy mOuthed property owner
kicks softly and vigorously at
his tilted valuation. The asses
sor has very 'cute way of
handling personal assessments. If
return is not made, that official makes
an arbitrary assessment and is con-
scientious enough to make it sufficiently
high. IT there is no kick and it becomes
necessary the next year to again make
an arbitrary assessment. it is made
little higher, for the assessors reason
thus: II last years assessment was too
high, there would have been kick:
there was none, so it was not high
enough. So up it goes another notch.
The board yesterday heard complaints
from the Eighth ward, and there were
plenty OF them. All property on Frank
lin avenue, from Cedar to Eleventh, was
raised: the north side got Is per cent
adued and the south side was lifted %
per cent. Fourth avenue property was
held to be high enough, and was allowed
to stand as it was. The board, among
its miscellaneous business. has tackled
the log owners again, and Messrs. Briggs
and Shaw d Elliott were ordered to ap-
pear and show cause why they should
not each be assessed with 10000, 600 feet.
