Ellis Heart Stopped.

Commencing Its work some months
before we are born, the heart keeps up
its movement of at least seventy times
per minute, or nearly nineteen million
beats a year. Think of it. Enough to
wear out the stOutest piece Of machinery.
And yet it is like any other puppet. 1t
is Influenced by two strings (nerves)
that the brain pulls the one or the other
as the movements are faster or slower.
Fear, anger, excitement, love, passion,
over-strain. weakness, exhaustion, de-
bility, disease, medicines or poisons by
acting on the brain influence the heart,
and the little pump works faster or
slower as the case may be. This is why
there are so many weak and diseased
hearts, so many sudden deaths, that
palpitation is so frequent, and cold
hands and feet so common. The brain
exercises like control over the stomach,
liver and kidneys. Who is there that
from sudden fright or Overmastering
anger has not felt Immediately loss Of
appetite, pain in the bowels, and, per-
haps, desire to urinate?
Study these facts, for facts they are,
and you will then understand why that
great remedy, ROGERS ROYAL
NERVINE. acting primarily on the
brain and nerves to strengthen and heal
them, has saved SO many lives, has
averted thousands of cases of heart and
kidney disease that would have been
fatal otherwise. 1t is the most remark
able medical discovery of modern times.

PHASES OF LIFE.

Lee Townsend, who is we'll remem-
bered in Minneapolis as being the bust
ness representative of Thomas Keene,
the tragedian, and Fred Miller, the
business manager of Miss Minnie Mad
dern, melton Washington avenue yester-
day, and as they shook hands smiled at
each other Significantly. The reason
for this lies in the remembrance
OF little adventure which
occurred at Los Angeles, CAL. year or
so ago. Mr.. Townsend heard foyer
lOafer make an insulting remark con-
corning Miss Maddern and promptly
knocked the fellow down. The individ-
nal who made the Objectionable allusion
80 Miss Madden, at which Mr.. Towns
end took Offense, did not know who hit
him, but subsequently aScertained by
inquiry that Fred Miller was Miss Mad
dern's agent, and correspondent
in description TO the lady
pugilistic champion. Accordingly,
Jumped at the conclusion that II was
Miller who thumped him, and caused
the arrest of that gentleman. When
Mr.. Miller was arrested for the alleged
assault, of which he had no knowledge,
he was somewhat surprised. naturally,
but quickly OWNED that it was Towns
end who was meant. He said nothing,
however. but the next day addressed
Townsend q note, which read about as
follows:
Am arrested and in trouble; trial occurs at
the police court at 10 a. m; be present to
help me out: don't fail as I rely upon you.
As a result of this invitation Mr..
Townsend was present in the court
room at the time specified, and TO his
Intimate amusement saw Miller ar
Falgned for the assault which he had
himself committed. When the COM
plainant proceeded, however. to swear
that 1t was Miller that did the slug
ging, TownSend'S sense of JUS
iice triumphed and he came
forward prepared to plead
guilty to The Offense with which his
friend was charged. Miller's attorney
was shrewd enough to put the complain
ant TO the test of identifying his asSail-
ant. and the chump, when confronted
by both Miller and Townsend, could not
say positively which one had slugged
him. As a result the judge dismissed
the case, with the remark that
man who could not tell
who hit him could hardly make
a reliable witness. Ever since the oc-
currence, however, there has been
feeling OF GOODNESS almost amounting
IN anger between Townsend and Miller.
They are both short in stature, and do
look little alike, but Townsend de-
clares that it is an impOssibility that he
is homely enough to be mistaken for
Miller, and Miller says that if he in the
least reese mbles Townsend he will re-
move any resemblance with a shotgun.

THE BOARD OF TRADE.
How 1t WrestIed With the Tax
Question.

At the weekly meeting of the board
of trade the single tax question came
up, and C. j. Buell. opened the discus
sion. He had prepared upon black
board some taxation figures secured
from the city comptroller, and spent ten
minutes in explaining his position by
the figures. j. B. Bassett was voted
twenty minutes to give his opinions, and
stated that he was opposed to exempt
ing any species of property, from taxa
ton. and that the consumer, and not
the manufacturers were the tax payers.
If the burden of taxation were removed
from buildings and fixtures. it must me-
ceSsarily fall somewhere else, and the
chances were that the land would have
to bear the burden, and this injustice
could not be done.
Judge Atwater stated that the point
to be considered was a change in the
constitution and if the matter was left
to vote he would not agree to allow
any one paying no taxes to vote upon
the question. Mr.. Buell., desiring to
answer some of the points of Mr.. BaS-
sett, Judge Atwater and some others
started to leave the room when the
president announced that if they left
there would not be quorum. Some
one then moved to adjourn and the mo-
ton prevailed. A committee was ap-
pointed to make a list of directors for
the coming year and E. j. Phelps was
made chairman.

VERY CHARACTERISTIC.
Mayor Babb's Good Lord and
Good DeVil' Act.


Good Devil" Act.
Mayor Babb, in his double role of
"good lord and good devil" is quite a
success. He complains against DR..
Burrell's criticism that he is not ''hard
enough" on the saloonkeepers, and at
the same time he objects to being held
responsible for the manner in
which men who have paid $1,000
year for the purpose of
retailing liquor in the city of Minneap-
oils are being treated 10y the police force
of which he is at least the de jure head.
The mayors parodOxical position is
shown quite plainly in an Interview in
an evening paper printed yesterday,
in which he is reported as saying:
Il see that the papers have me down as
an anti-treat crank. told several prom
inent members of the movement who
came to me that | was in favor of any
thing that would advance the cause OF
right and sObriety. The idea seems &c
prevail that am responsible for the
stringent enforcement of the Sunday
closing laws. But what can they ex-
pect of me? The laws have been made
by the city council, and, of course, we
must enforce them. If the people want
different effects they must have differ
ent laws. There is no city ordinance
covering the closing of the theaterS
Sunday, and consequently we don't in
terfere with them."

Aid. SterIins's Views.

AID. Sterling, chairman committee on

Dsition made by Mrs. Paine that we
should make the workhOuse a refOrma-
kory only bears out the proposition L
have already made through the columns
of the GLOBE. Some time ago | had
occasion to call the attention of this
paper to the fact that the workhouse
was not a reformatory. If we can make
1t such and save some Of the poor Great
ures who are sent to US it would be q
good thing both for themselves and
for Minneapolis. Make the workhouse

pie will agree with us.n

Fort Smelling Reservation Part
of the Park System.

There is a quiet but systematic
movement, of which Park Commits
sioner A. j. Boardman is the father, to
make the reservation known as Fort
Smelling part and parcel of the ex-
cellent park system of Minneapolis. The
fact that the state park extends to the
lines of the reservation, which adJolns
one OF the grandest parks in the world,
no doubt has made Commissioner Board
man anticipate the sentiments of many
of the residents of Minneapolis that
when the reservation is thrown open
for settlement it shall be as an addition
to the complete park system OF Mime

A BRIGHT PROSPECT.
Contractor Schofield Pulling The
Lost Tools Out of The Well.

Late Friday afternoon the last
set of tools lost, with 1900 feet of
rope attached, were drawn up out
of the we'll. Along with the tools
came a great mass of finely chop
ped rope, which had hindered their
operations heretofore. The hole is
now in a fine condition for the work
of recovering the one set of tools
that remain, but before that is
done the rope must be allowed to
dry out, that 1t may be spliced.
Contractor Schofield desires us
to ask Major Lawder to come down
to his place of business (the der
rick and tender him the promised
suit Of clothes, to be given when
the last set of tools lost had been
recovered.
Mr.. Rufus Hisey says he is going
to work on his own hook now, and
that it is his opinion that the re-
manning set of tools can be regained
within a few hours after the rope
has been spliced. Who knows
but Mexico may yet have natural

Have brought some caramola."
ooh, thanks, most awfuliy,r she gushed,
Like you they're just too SWEET"
And then at once her tongue was hushed,
For she began to cut
Now carameis are sticky things,
And, when too quickly ehewed,
They form o sticky paste that clings
Until the jaws are glued
The lover watched his hungry dove.

And thought: "If I'm to win her love
Now is the time to pop"
So down ne tumbIed on his knees

"Miss Jonesl o will you-won't you please
Say yes Iwant to wed"
Her heart against her corset knocked,
ayes, yes" she tried to say,
But couldn't-for her jaws were locked;
And turned her head away.

"Do not my love discard
But not a word the maid replied,
Although she struggled hard
70, Heavens.-tell me yes or no
Don't kill me with SUSPENSE;
II you don't talk he screamed, It'll 60
And ask o girl with sense"
Her perspiration came In drips;
Her eyes stuck out with pain;
She tried TO tear apart her lips,
But couldn't stand the strain.
Then b with dignity arose
And glared 81 poor Miss Jones,
And laughed q bitter laugh that froze
The marrow in her bones.
"Adieug' he sroaned. I've got the sack"
And started for the door;
She grabbed his coat-tails, pulled him

Then tainted on the floor.

Laying Out a Half-Mile Track

Froffi COiInallS hurdl Wofid.
We are in receipt of a communi-
cation asking information about
laying out a half-mile track. The
following, which was clipped some
time since from a turf paper,
answers the question completely:
"To lay out a half-mile track, lay
off two straight sides, 600 feet each,
parallel, and 452 feet 4 3-S inches
apart, connected at each end with
a perfect semi-circle (radius 226 feet,
2 3-16 inches); place the fence ex-
actly upon a line SO formed, which
is the inside of the track, and the
track viii measure exactly half a
mile three feet from the fence; the
outside fence to be placed &C.
cording to the width of the track

If not convenient to obtain an
engineer to run the curves, it car
be done as follows Place a centre
stake midway between the parallel
straight lines at each end, take 6
wire with a loop at the end, loose
enough to turn upon the stake, ano
measure upon this wire 226 fee
2 3-16 inches (the radius of thu
eurves.) which from the centre
stake will exactly reach the ends o
the straight lines; then describe
