Speak kindly of the Jews. They
are law abiding citizens, friends Of
public schools, loyal to our institu.
tions, and enemies of disorder. We
have never heard OF q Jewish an
archist or of one being engaged in a

Jew is arrested for being a tramp, a

whether it was so or not, but it

A COMPARlSON.
AS l said, one is apt to feel disap.
pointed when he approaches the
trees for the first time. Yet when
he remains awhile near them they
gradually increase in size, aud at
length become full large enough.
They are truly immense, and it is
only by comparison that their full
dimensions are apprehended. If
five buildings like the Mcclure in
Wheeling were piled one upon an
other, / think the trees would still
overtop the structure. If one of them
would fall to the ground, the log
would be as high as the top of the
second story window of an ordinary
house. lfsawed into lumber there
would be more than three hundred
thousand feet, or more than three
million shingles The Lumber would
make plank fence twenty miles
long.
The trees resemble cedar. The
bark is very thick-two feet in
places. The cones resemble those
of pitch pine, and the seeds look like
cabbage seed. There are no young
trees at all. believe the seeds will
grow. Large quantities OF them
have been shipped to Eastern gar
dens, and to Europe. The trees are
dying. No doubt, it is of old age.
The tops of many Of them are broken
off. One gigantic tree has fallen,
and lies upon the ground, looking
like an immense wooden wall.-In-
tellidencer.

The sale of seats begins this morn

the weeks engagement commenc-
ing next Monday evening of

they Will present. for the first time III this

Wednesday evening and Saturday mat
inee, Belasco & DE M lies American
society comedy, "The Wife," which ran
400 night at the Lyceum theater, will be
played by the original cast. AS pre-
sented by this company, it is said to be
one of the prettiest plays ever pre-
sented. Its story possesses interest,
and its Situati OnS are of rare dramatic
strength. The characters are said to be
well drawn and the dialogue never dull.
There is nothing improbable in its story,
which is told pathetically enough to
cause wet eyes on the part of the women
and engage the closest attention on the
part of the men. There is serious in
terest for those who incline in that di-
rection, comedy for those who like fun,
and sadness for those who suffer disap-
pointed love. "Sweet Lavender" will
succeed 1.-The Wife," on Thursday even
ing, and be presented for the balance
of the engagement. 1t was written by
A. W. Pinero, and was presented 400
nights in London and 256 nights at the
Lyceum theater last winter. 1t is said
to be unlike 1.-THE Wife," and shows
the remarkable versatility of the COM
pany.

In Store for the State Fair---The

Adjt. Gen. Mullen yesterday issued
an order to the members of the National
guard in relation to the military display
at the state fair. The militiamen will
assemble under arms, in service uni
form, at such rendezvous in st. Paul or
Minneapolis as shall hereinafter be
designated, on Sept. 10, at 10 o'clock.
Transportation will be paid and ssub
sistence provided. There will be bat
TALON and brigade drill, various eVOlu-
lions with blank ammunition illustra-
tive of the maneuvers of troops in actual
service in the face of the enemy, In
which the infantry, artillery and cavalry
will be brought into action, the whole
to end with brigade dress parade
and. review by Gov. Merriam, the COM
mander-in-chief. The order continues:
The heavy expenditures necessarily
incident to this general military display
are to be met wholly by the Minnesota
State Agricultural society. The gen
erous support rendered by William Nj.
Bushnell, president of the association,
and his public-spirited associates, ren-
dering this tour of the entire military
organization possible, without the cost
of farthing to the state, affords the
national guard an opportunity never
before offered, and not likely to occur
again in the near future. The COM
mander-in-chief urges upon the national
guard the Importance of cordially en-
bracing this opportunity to show to the
people of this state that we have body
of men equal to the best, unusually
well-otficered, well organized and thor
oughly disciplined. There is, however,
yet room for improvement. A military
organization is what it makes itself.
The highest degree of proficiency can
not be attained save by the hearty and
cordial aid of every officer and man.
The commandments trusts that all
excuses will be laid aside, and every
man will be found in his place.

JUDGE KERR'S CONSCIENCE
Is Credited With an Apology Due
Court Findings.

The plaintiffs motion for new trial
In the case of Ii. j. McAfee against
George Graham and others has been
denied by Judge Kerr. 1t will be re-
membered that at the time the case was
tried one OF the plaintiffs witnesses,
named Watson, was severely roasted by
the Judge for attempting to deceive the
court and the jury. The defendants
counsel moved to have Watson COM
mitted for perjury, but Judge Kerr
overruled the motion. The. judge now
saws that he apologies to his own con-
science for not ordering the commit
ment of Watson.

Diggles, w. K. Mercer, G. j. Sigm0nd,

damages. The plaintiff asserts that he
was defrauded out of that amount by
the defendants. In his complaint,
Hanson says that in September, 1888.
he sold the defendants a drug store at
Baron, Wis, and accepted 81, 900 in cash
and $1,000 IN notes as payment for the
same. The notes were secured by
mortgage on piece of property which,
the defendants claimed, was near Eau

that the mortgaged property was no

was almost worthless.

ills a Good Thing.

Every disease is caused by microbe,
whether the disease is known or I'M
known--those new diseases appearing
annually being caused by new microbe.
in fact l am anxious to know any single
disease which is not micrObe.
The microbe is Natures destroying
element. For instance, if you cut your
self, the cut might do no harm. but the
microbes find the wound and blood a
proper seed-bed, and go to work, caus-
ing Inflammation, fermentation and
pain as they progress, until stopped.
Every species of microbe can be trans
ferred from one place to another, or
from one person to another, just the same
as we can send a diseased graft from a
or just as well as we CAN transfer any
disease from one sick person to a
healthy one.
Take the decomposing matter from
any wound and place it into fresh-cut
wound on another person and he takes
the same disease. Why? Because it is
living matter that propagates similar
seed as the bed from whence it came.
Plunge knife into a corpse and then
quickly cut yourself. and it will show
i'll a few hours how fast these deadly
microbes decompose your blood down to
fermentation, disease and death.
Now, if this theory is right, which it
undoubtedly is, medicine that will
kill the microbe without injuring the
patient is the proper preparation for the
people to cure and prevent disease with,
and the most effective preparation for
this work extant is "Rodam's Microbe
