Can seirrhus Cancer be Cured.

This is a hard question to an
swer. Swift's Specific has cured
thousand of cases of Skin Cancer,
and there has been many cases of
Scirrhus Cancer reported cured by
it. We do say that S. S. S. is
worth a trial il any case of cancer.
We append a statement from Miss
Green, of Tallapoosa, Ga:
In 1854 1 had a small lump in
my left breast, which proved to be
cancer. The first remedy I
tried was to have it burned off.
This did not cure it, for shortly
afterwards it broke out again in a
much worse form. L then con-
suited our druggist, who advised
me to try Swift's Specific (S.S.S.)
and after taking about one dozen
bottles, was completely cured, and
my general health was greatly i'm
proved. This has been over six
years ago, and my cancer has new
er appeared since, nor has it troub-
led me in any way. l can cheer
fully recommend Swift's Specific
(S.S.S.) to any one suffering with
cancer. Miss I. E. Green,

THE WHEAT STOCKS.
The Market Record Sizes Up the
Situation.

The stocks OF wheat out of farmers
hands, held in Minnesota and the two
Dakotas, is approximately 24,OOO.0OO
bushels. 1t is about 5,OO0,O bushels
more than the amount year ago that
was held in the same places. There is
disagreement with respect to the
size of stock in farmers granaries.
The general opinion, however, is that
farmers have very little more wheat on
hand than last year at this season.
1t follows. then, that more wheat will
be wanted to grind III Minneapolis than
was used after this time last year. The
production of flour in Minneapolis alone
was curtailed nearly million barrels
from Feb. last year to Sept. 1, due to
causes mentioned. Now there is less
accumulation of flour everywhere, and
the cost of it is on parity with the cost
of it at other places.
The Northwestern Miller's weekly
compilation of the wheat stocks in pri-
vate elevators in Minneapolis made to-
day, shows reduction of 265,000
bushels from Monday of last week to
to-day. The public stocks Increased
5,277 bushels for the week in MinneaD-
oils and st. Paul, and 25,997 bushels in
Duluth, making an increase in public
stocks in Minnesota of 81, 173 bushels.
After deducting that increase from the
decrease In private storage in Minneap-
oils. there is shown a total decrease in
Minnesota of 2S3, 727 bushels in terminal
wheat stocks.

to keep closed their saloons on

days for stealing a Mackinaw coat from

William McNeal was the name given
by young man run in Saturday night

day. William put up the money, but
yesterday he was not to be found, and

drunk. Mrs. Chase said her sister had
been sick and had sent out and bought

denial of the charge, but confined her
testimony principally to roasting her
sister. who she declared was mo lady,

THE HOTEL LANGHAM.
No Truth in the Report That the
House will Change Hands.

Manager Harrington, of the Hotel
Langham, was seen last evening by a
GLOBE reporter, and questioned upon
the rumors afloat as to probable clos
ing up, or change in management of the
house. ~
He said that there was nothing in the
report beyond the fact that for some
time he had been trying to get away for
time, as his health was poor and he
needed rest He admitted that there
would be some minor changes to admit
of his going to the Hot Springs in the
near future, but as the matter had not
as yet been arranged, he had rather not
make any statements as to what would
be done.
In regard to the talk of his closing the
house, he said that 1t would run along
just the same as before, and that there
really was no occasion for any ia k
about the matter. MI. Harrington is
suffering badly with his eyes, and he
fears that, unless he gets away shortly
and takes a much-needed rest, he will
lose his eyesight altogether. He fatty

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
They Will Build Two New Bridges
and Several Roads.


and Several Roads.
The county commissioners were pres
ent in full force yesterday at their
meeting in the court house. A request
from Secretary Hart, of the state board
OF charities, was read, in which he
asked that the following resolutions be
passed:
Resolved. That during the year 1890 it
shall be the duty OF each member of this
board to report each application for relief of
the poor on blanks furnished by the state
board of core ctions and charities.
Resolved, That this board will not allow
any bills for the relief of any pauper until a
copy of such application shall have been
filed with the county auditor.
After some discussion they decided
that the matter was not question for
them to pass on, and entirely out of
their province.
Judge Ellis presented the bond for the
matter. The paper bore the signatures
of President Sunde. of the Scandal
bank: Caleb Tingley, Aids. Stoft, Henry
Gund, w. K. Hicks, and 6. j. Heinrich.
Commissioner Swift offered resolu-
ton that w. Nj. Fox be authorized to
proceed with the necessary printing and
advertising in the matter, which was
adopted.
The plat of the proposed road be-
tween Richfield and MinnetOnka, in
sections 80 and 81, prepared by P. NJ.
Dahl, county surveyor, was accepted.
The road is to run near the poor farm.
The committee Oh roads and bridges

NOUS meeting yesterday. Harmony
was to be found all over the room on
the third floor of the city hall, devoted
to the sessions of the gentle
men who make and break patrol
men. Commissioner Guile was alb
sent. and Messrs. Babb and
GJertsen took up what little business
there was before the meeting and eX-
ecuted it with neatnesS and dispatch
that would have surprised most people
who imagined that Mr.. Gjertsen was
still in the minority and deep in the
cOnsumme. After the roll had been
called and the minutes of the previous
meeting had been adopted the resigna-
ton of Patrolman o. III. Watson, of the
East side station, was read and accepted.
Mr.. Watson gave as his reason for re-
signing that he was going to leave Min
neapolis. Walter Ehrlichman was ap-
pointed patrolman and, at the request
of Judge Emery, he was assigned to
duty in the municipal court as inter-
prefer. Ehflichman is something of a

TIE PARENTAL BLESSING
Follows as the Pleasing Sequel to
Romantic Wedding.

''All's we'll that ends we'll"
Mr.. and Mrs Alfred S. Heffelinger,
the young couple whose romantic mar
rage at Hudson, Wis, last week, Gre
ated such stir is society circles, have
returned to Minneapolis, and for
the present are at the home of
the groom's father, Maj. c. B..
Haffelfiinger, president of the
North Star Boot & Shoe company, at
1928 Third avenue south. Their return
to the city makes it possible to give GER
tain details which could not be picked
up on the spur of the moment. As has
been stated, they attended the Irish
American clubs oall at the Hotel Ryan,
Tuesday night, and the day following
went to Hudson, Wisconsin, where
they were married. After brief honey
moon, spent at Saltwater. they came
home to receive the parental blessing
Although the wedding was a complete
surprise to relatives, there seems to
have been no positive objection, and it
would be indeed fortunate if all mar
riages which take place unattended by
the formality that society convention
atty dictates, terminated as happily as
this one promises to.
Mrs. Heffelfnger, nee Miss Celia
Byrnes, is the daughter of William
Byrnes, who was at one time sheriff of
Hennepin county, and whose memory
is held in reverence by the older resi-
dents of Minneapolis. Since gradual
ing from the Visitation convent at St.
Paul she has resided with her mother,
Mrs. Catharine Byrnes, at 100 Western
avenue. She has been quite prominent
in society circles, and now that it is sail
nVnr11 lYRI9n1QfInnC n
her many friends and admirers have
changed to congratulations and best
wishes for future happiness. The
groom-Alfred Sully Heffelfinger. by
the way, and not "Solly" nor "Solo-
mon" Heffelfnger, as the papers have
variously given lt-has been employed
as salesman for the North Star Boot
and Shoe company for several years
past, and it is needless to say that the
family of which he is member is one
of the most highly respected in the city.

THE WITNESS WAS Hi.
So the Tale of Louis Alleged
Fraiity Remains Untold.

The divorce case of Anna Mastad
against her husband. Louis Mastad, was
continued until next week. The couple
were married in Wisconsin Aug. 5, 1887.
She is thirty-eight years of age, and al
though he is but forty-four domestic
cares have chased the hair from his
forehead, and he is bald-headed and
quiet-looking. She charges him with a
too great fondness for one Marie
Ramon, which resulted in his incon-
staney to herself. She claims also that
he is the happy possessor of $4,000. in
which she wants a share as alimony.
The defendant denies the soft impeach-
ment and says he has not cent. The
trial could not go on because of the ill
ness of one Mrs. MuIdoon, who is to
furnish the testimony for the prosecu-
ton, and the knot of expectant listen
ers departedwith reluctance.
