William Gillette's Held by the En-
envy" in general merit, which comes to
the Grand opera house next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Its
strength depends not so much upOn
military actions as upon the triumph in
character which the play disclOses. A
triumph, in brief, of honor and devotion
TO country over mans honest love. 1t is
a drama which has the supreme effect
of arOusing enthusiasm for Col. Pres

seem, in placing his duty above his love
at time when the life and liberty of
Gordon Hayne, his rival, are at stake.

quest you to publish this ex-

Frank Z. Davis, the old man is having
rather a hard time. When Blaisdell
went TO the jury room, Anderson
mingled with tile official powers and
talked Of indictments. His connection
with the Collom trial seems to have af-
fected his head on the subject of grand

curable it is safe to predict that they

ANENr THE VERDICT.

William D. Hall, Secretary of the
Board oil Trade-Like MY respected
friend, Capt. Gutter, l would say the
verdict rendered by the cOr0ner's jury
is "a verdict as is a verdict" The
force of this statement depends upon
the application.
Tribune-Star-Ther does not seem to
bP sufficient evidence on which to indict
any one for criminal negligence in con-
nect.ol with the fire, and such being
the case. il would be of no practical
benefit for the jury to prefer formal
charges.
Evening JOurnal-The verdict of the
cor0ner'S jury is a disappointment.
That body was expected To reach some
positive conclusions. 1t has not done
so. 1t distributes a mild degree OF cen
sure around among different people,
and so divides the responsibility that
no one in particular is 70 blame.
l.. A. COndit, County AUDITOR read
nothing of the reports but the head
lines. If that was all there was of the
verdict on the fire ii should have been a
UhitewaSh and done with it.

carefully, but | think it is what might
be called 4 padded" piece of neWspa-

THAT SNOW ORDINANCE.
A Committee of Thirteen Will
Consider Ii.

The committee on ordinances reported
back the ordinance for the removal of
snow and ice from sidewalks without
any recommendation. The ordinance,
as prepared by Aid. Parry, empowered
the street commissioner, in event of the
failure of the owner to do so, to remove
snow and ice from the sidewalks in
front of all buildings and lots in the
city and TO assess tile property for the
cost. and provided for the collection of
this money in the same manner as Spe
cial assessments are collected. AID. Parry
succeeded in having the ordinance given
its first reading. Calling Aid. Gilman
to the chair, President Johnson took the
floor, and said that it was time that
something was done to rid the city of
the nuisance of snow and ice which was
allowed to accumulate on the sidewalks.
IF this ordinance is passed." he con-
tiuued' ''it will impose tax on poor
people heavier than all the other taxes
put together. Something should be
done, and done quickly, but am OPP
posed to the ordinance as it now stands"
The ordinance was then referred to q
committee of one alderman from each
ward. The committee as announced
by the president consists of Aids. Parry,

Some unpleasant truths for uar'
Smokers and | Sers of the Weeds

According to a recent paper read by Prof.
Adolph Zieber before the German Medical
Congress. the excessive use of tobacco pro-
duces certain diseases as surely as hot iron
will produce burn.
According to DR.. Zieber, who is not an
anti-tObacco crank (uslng the weed in mod
Grafton himself). the effect of tobacco on any
100 men is about as follows: On 20 per cent
any form, producing on such men neuralgia
spasms Of the heart, weak action, fainting,
dizzy spells, confusion Of mind. dyspepsia,
ETC., etc. on 30 per cent. nervousness, palpi-
tation Of the heart giddiness, dyspepsia. etc. !;
on 20 per cent dyspepsia and heartburn, and
on 10 per cent. no evil and some good effects.
His research aud experiments prove that
excess in tobacco produces thousands of
cases Of heart disease, makes multtudes Of
dyspeptics, causes many sudden deaths from
Neuralgia Spasm and Faintness of the heart
(Angina Pectoris), produces cancer of the
mouth. throat and tongue, extreme nervous
exhaustion and bloodlessness of the brain
and spine, cancer of the stomach and bowels
and abscess of The liver.

peculiarly effective antidote to poisoning by
