expected he would die. 1 had heard Of
the remarkable cures effected by Ayers
Sarsaparilla, and decided to have my
boy try it. Shortly after he began to
take this medicine, the ulcers COM

"In May last, my youngest child,
fourteen months old, began to have sores
gather on its head and body. We ap.
piled various simple remedies without
avail. The sores increased in number
and discharged copiously. A physician
was called, but the sores continued to
multiply until in few months they
nearly covered the child's head and body.
At last we began the use of Ayers Sar-
saparilla. In a few days marked
change for the better was manifest. The
sores assumed more healthy condition,
the discharges were gradually dimln-
ished, and finally ceased altogether.
The child is livelier, it's skin is fresher,
and its appetite better than we have OBJ
served for months. Frank M. Griffin,

TALKED OF A MARKET.

South side Citizens Meet and De-
eide to Ask a POstponement.s7 c
A good-sized meeting was held last
night in Tollefson's hall, in South Min
neapolis. to discuss the South side mar
ket ordinance and everything connected
with it. There was any amount of dis
cussing, but little actual reasoning or
working. The meeting seemed to beof
the nature Of a Round Robin, without
the writing material. Almost every
man present wanted something and
had something to say. He told
what he wanted and said his say, but
he generally disagreed with every
body else. There seemed to be no fixed
idea as to what should be done. After
about two hours of desultory discussion,
which ended as it began-by there be-
ing no agreement between any two
men-John Lally secured the floor and
urged that the council be requested, to
postpone action on the matter for thirty
days. He made motion to that effect,
and it was carried. In the mean-
requested, the South siders will
talk the matter over and endeavOr to
arrive at some concensus of opinion.
The following were named as a commit
tee to wait upon the council and urge
the pOstponement of the settlement OF
the question: III. o. Peterson, ii. II.

AMUSE MENTS.

Ducan B. Harrison's new military
drama, entitled "The Paymaster," was
seen for the first time in this city at the
Grand Opera last evening by large
audience. The play is in five acts, and
the scenes are laid in Ireland in 1888,
and are divided between British bar
racks and Celtic homes, and. of course,
love and villiany form the basis of the
plot. The play is filled with melo-
dramatic situations and rather exciting
scenes. The tank business worked
stronger and more effectively than any
similar production seen in the city this
season, and makes the hit of the per-
formance. The water is supposed
to represent the Inslavogue river.
and in escaping from his guards
house the hero of the play
twelve feet into the river. In the fourth
act he takes deliberate head-foremost
dive into the water to rescue his sweet
heart, and the liquid splasheS up to q
great height and falls about the stage
in a most realistic manner. The plot
shows that, though man be born with
silver spoon in his mouth, he can be
led from the path of the righteous and
become as degraded as can pauper.
Duncan Harrison, new face to the
Northwestern stage, played the part OF
Robert O'Conner, and can be rated as
fairly successful last evening, although
at times he appeared awkward. Several
other members of the company were
equally pleasing. The production, as
whole, is great novelty in its way,
and highly entertaining one, and will
undoubtedly have two more large audi
ences.
The usual crowded house greeted

POLICE CoUnr NEWS.

4 Motley Group of Prisoners Is

There was big surprise for Judge
Emery when he took his seat upon the
bench in the municipal court yester-
day. The police had taken things COM
paratively easy for the past month, and
outside of few DRINKS who insisted on
making themselves obnoxious, but few
arrests had been made. Saturday night,
however. there was big crowd of people
on the streets and the police drag net
was pulled out and repaired and put
into service. Consequently the bull pen
was overlooking yesterday and forty
three prisoners answered roll call. Many
of them were charged with petty Of
lenses, and after receiving lecture
from the court were allowed to depart

In SPECIAL SESSION.
The County Commissioners Meet
and DO Little Business.

The County Commissioners Meet
and DO Little Business.
The county commissioners met yester-
day in extra session and disposed of
what little business had accumulated.
There was little to be done except to
receive bids for the addition to the
county treasurer's office.
County Auditor Condit submitted his
financial statement for the year of 1889,
and it was adopted.
A request was received from State
Auditor Braden asking for the appoint
ment of two men who would be suit
able as appraisers of swamp land in
Hennepln county. The commissioners
appointed Frederick Webb, of Plym-
outh, and F. Ii. Hennessy, of Maple
Grove townships, as such appraisers.
The matter of the distribution of the
+ penalties for the dilatory payment of
taxes was talked over at some length by
the commissioners, and Commissioner
Nash moved that the commissioners
meet a committee from the city council
Oh March at the court house to dis
cuss the matter, which was adopted.
Commissioner Nash, from the COM
mittee on taxes. reported back about 100
applications for abatement of taxes,
and gave the committees recommends
ton that they be not allowed, which the
board approved.
The following bids for the construc-
ton OF an addition to the county treas
nrer'S Office were received: john Keat-
ing, 1865; l.. G. Brisbee & Sons. 1928;
E. Kneeland. ST, PA. %; b. r. }. Thax-
ter, sl.6S6.5O; Forster & Smith, 81 .20e.50;
NJ. G. Galpin, Sl,2l9. The bids were re-
ferred to the committee ON public
grounds and buildings, with power to
act and let the contract.

THREE DIVORCE SUITS.
Two of Them Have Been Granted
One III as just Been Be gun.

Two Oh luen nave Been GranCeu,
One Has just Been Be gun.
Anna Mastod, pale. interesting
looking woman about thirty years of
age, with light hair and blue eyes. was
before Judge Smith yesterday morning
as complainant Ia suit for divorce.
Louis Mastod, her unfaithful husband,
bald-headed and seemingly careless of
the consequences, was also there. The
evidence adduced in the case showed
that Anna and Louis were married
thirteen years ago, and as the issue of
that marriage two children came TO
bless their union and to brighten their
home. They lived happily until about
two years ago, when they decided that
they were no longer happy under the
same roof, and agreed to separate.
Louis went down on Riverside avenue,
TOOK house, and there lived alone. eX-
cept for the presence of a housekeepdr.
On the evening of the 22nd of July,
1889, accompanied by lady friend, Mrs.
Mastod journeyed to the Riverside ave-
nue. house to have talk with Louis
relative to the division of their property
consequent upon their separation. 1t
was nearly 10 o'clock when they reached
the house and no light from within fell
athwart their path. A knock at the
door brought no response. They en-
tered, but all was still. Proceeding
from the large front room. they paused
and then heard voices of man and
woman in the adjoining bed room. Mrs.
Mastod heard such expressions as
aroused her indignation and she made
her presence known. A Scantily clad
female figure gave wild shrek and
fled. Mr.. Mastod remained to face the
music. dsliking to show himself be-
cause of the paucity of his attire. A
suit for divorce followed, and when Mrs.
Mastod faithfully narrated the words
which she heard on the 22nd of July,
Judge Smith unhesitatingly gave her
divorce.
Sophia Hebert is thirty-two years of
/ age. and Isaac. her husband, is forty
eight. They were married in 1870, and
nine years later, according to SOphia's
story, Isaac deserted her and has since
not only refused to live with her, but
has utterly failed and refused to con-
tribute anything to her support. There
are four children as the issue of the
marriage, the oldest boy of eighteen,
and the youngest girl of thirteen.
Mrs. HILBERT wants to be divorced now
and for all time.
In the suit brought by Robert M. Rob-
erts and Charles f. Knight against
Adolph Robitschek and Thomas A.
Rooney, to determine title to certain
real estate, Judue Smith has decided
for the plaintiffs.
Judge Lochren yesterday listened to
the application of Mrs. Caroline P. Mes
bitt for limited divorce from her hus-
band, George II. Nesbitt, on the ground
of desertion. The petition was granted.

METHODIST MINISTER'S MEET.

DR.. NICK afg ROaStS Local ConSre-
cations at Length.
The Methodist ministers met yester-
day, and, after looking around for an
object upon which to vent their ex-
uberance of moral spirit, selected the
inoffensive church social as an object
or attack. By the time they were
through with the subject, the hitherto
popular church levee would not be rec
OgniZed by its most intimate friends.
The conclave branded them as per-
niciouS. and utterly unworthy for thor
oughly Christian pr Ople.
Rev. r. n. McKaig scored the great
est kind Of hit by the reading of a
lengthy paper OH the Difficulties of
Professionalism" The important points
in the paper follow:
"MentaI culture has been substituted
for devotion to Jesus. 1t seems pity
we cannot have a few brains without
Boosting, OF little learning without
saying prayers to it. Culture is not
and cannot be- substitute for salvation
by faith. Whenever it is not down at
the feet of Jesus it is vain, proud.
self-conceited, boastful, vile usurper in
the kingdom of God. The statistical
tables are becoming the boast and brag

ity.

and cornses.
"When the supernatural power is

After some minor roasts upon Mime
apOlls congregations, the paper ended
up with the following smile, whose
beauty OF language contrasts strongly
with some of the foregoing rather
coarse expressions:
standing beside a rose bush for the
first time. the air is full of fragrance.
L begin to search for the source of this
aroma. pluck leaf. but there is no
perfume in that. l break off bud, but
it is not sweet scented. then pull off
the bark, but theIe is no fragrance
there. Then remembering that some
shrubs have their odor in the root. dig
up the roots, but there Is no aroma
found in them. then bend over the
whole bush, and loi All old-fashiOned

to-day, there is sweet, heavenly
odor that fills the atmosphere,
and begin to search for it.
l take up the special ordinances of
our church, but no fragrance is found; l
break off the prominent twigs and
branches of another, but they are not
perfumed: l peel off the bark of ira
ditions. but there is no odor in that, eX-
eept an offensive one. | dig up the de-
crees, but there is no aroma in them.
At last l bend over all the churches,
and 10! find in the center of all of

Bile result will be that the hitherto en-
joyable church social will be tabOoed in

WANTS REFORMS.
County Auditor COndit Has Some
Hints for the Next Legislature.


Hints for the Next Legislature.
L. A. Condit, county auditor, is of
opinion that the next legislature could
do some very creditable work by chang
ing the law regulating the duties of the
city assessor. He believes that wrongs
could be righted and everybody con-
cerned made to feel better by certain
changes outlined by him as follows:
Zone manifest imperfection in our
present tax law is the manner in which
the city assessor escapes facing the re-
sponsibility for his own work. On per-
sonal property he should keep in his
own office the original lists, and be re-
quired to exhibit and explain them to
the kicker. AS it is now, the lists are
filed with the county auditor, who, in
the nature of the case, knows no more
about the work done by the city assessor
and his assistants than any other citi-
zen. He is therefore unable to answer
objections that are made to personal
taxes when called upon to explain an
others work.
1.-Two manifest wrongs arise from
this condition or system. The citizen
who has been wrOnged has no place
where he can go and g the wrong cor
rected or even get satisfactory expla-
nation. to which he is certainly entitled.
The state has no officer in position to
detect and expose fallaciOus or fraudu-
lent claims for abatement of personal
taxes, and is therefore liable to suffer
imposition and loss, while at the same
time doing rank injustice to these of its
citizens who desire to do right"

The BOARD OF TRADE.
A Lively Time Over a Tariff Reso-
lutiOn

luton.
There was factional tilt at the board
of trade yesterday morning, when I. B.
Walker offered a resolution for its adop-
ton requesting the representatives of
Minnesota, Wisconsin,, Iowa and the
two Dakotas and Nebraska in congress
to do all in their power towards retain
ing the present tariff on jute, flax,
MANILA fiber and sisal, and the thread
yarns and Irvine made therefrom.
No sooner was the resolution offered
than the protectionists and tariff re-
formers ranged themselves on either
side and waged a wordy war. G. J.
Buell. was unusually sarcastic, and said
that the people OF the Northwest we're
much interested in farmers, which is
evident by the fact that they raised S1O,-
600 to help the destitute grangers of Da-
kOra, but from his standpoint it would
be the height of folly TO introduce the
proposed high tariff products into the
Northwest.
Capt. Merriman thought the discus
sion was purely based on party prin-
ciples, and wanted something done with
the resolution at once. There was some
further heated discussion and the paper
was finally referred to the committee on
legislation.
The board took up the excursion rate
matter, which has been bothering the
hotel men for some time past. and de-
eided to appoint committee to confer
with the local passenger agents and also
the ageuts of the initial lines out of the
Southern cities. The board thought
that if the matter were pushed in the
right manner some satisfactory summer
excursion rates might be obtained for
the summer.
c. M. Palmer's resignation was ac-
nominating committee appointed to
select a successor.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Buell. was
adopted, authorizing the committee on
legislation to examine the Sherman bill
now in the senate and decide if it in
validated the Australian system of vot-
ing, now enforced in this state.

HE WAS GUILTY.
Bnt Judge Emery Let Him Go
tasiIy

lastly.
Perhaps no subscriber of newspaper
has escaped the annoyance and incon-
venience caused by the petty sneak
thief who makes it business to steal
his paper after it has been delivered by
the carrier. Most subscribers would
just about as soon miss regular meal
aS to miss their favOrite paper, and the
loss is one of those things which
makes man miserable and upsets
him for the entire day. As all
the newspapers are sent to the
central station the police judges have
but little trouble in getting hold of their
favOrite sheet, provided some one car
ries it off from their doorstep. Yesterday
one of these petty thieves was arrested
and taken before Judge Emery on the
charge of stealing copy of the GLOBE
from Sam Nelson's house, at 253 Cedar
avenue. He gave his name as Nels
A Anderson, and while it was shown that
a number of subscribers of the several
papers had not received their copies.
Judge Emery thought it was petty
offense, and although Anderson was
convicted he imposed fine of 10 cents
or one hour in jail. Consequently An
derSOn was discharged. The prosecu-
ton was not brought on the basis of
the value of the copy of the paper In
dollars and cents, but more to convics
tine thief as an example to other boys
and men who make business of steal
ing papers. Several carriers have been
discharged upon the complaints of sub
scribers that their papers have not been
delivered regularly, and in this way an
attempt has been made by the GLOBE,
Pioneer Press, Times and Tribune to
protect their subscribers. 4-

Not a SnecuIation.

Rev. J. A. Wright denies the report
that the new University Methodist
church, corner of Fourth street and
Thirteenth avenue southeast. was built
by him for the purpose of speculation.
He says that he was the protector of the
gage on it for $4,000. Although it is
claimed that the new church, which
was originally planned as mission of
the First church, was located too near
it for the good of either, he says that
its prospects are very bright. DIR.
Rice, the pastor of the First
Methodist, says that the new church is
not mission of the other, nor have
they anything in common. They are
simply sister churches of the same faith.
