The usual treatment of catarrh Is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands of desparing
patients can testify. A trustworthy med
ical writer says; "Proper local treatment
is positively necessary to success, but
most of the remedies in general use by
physicians afford but temporary benefit.
A cure can not be expected from snufis,
powders, douches and washes" Ely's
Cream Balm is Il remedy which combines
the important requisites OF quick action,
specific curative power with perfect safe
ty and pleasantness to the patient.

prove great success everywhere.
The plot Is not new. being all adanta-

LOCAL MENTION.
Remarkable Facts.

As shown by its statement of actual
results, the PrOvident Savings Life As
surance Society of New York paid to
September 1st. 1889, death claims to
beneticiarieS under its renewable term
policies. the sum of 81 ,292, 600 at total
cost Tor premiums of S64 1925.
The ordinary whole life level premi-
ums would have been S204, 641.31. The
percentage of cost in the Provident as
compared with that of other regular
companies was less than 1914. Or, in
other words, the same premiums, III
paid for ordinary whole life level pre-
MUM insurance. would have secured 10
the claimants S41O.210 only, instead of
1892, 900, which was paid to them by
the Provdent.
The Provident Savings was admitted
to do business in the state of Minnesota
in July, 1884; since which time more
than 100000 of insurance has been
written in the state. more than $1,000. 900
of which is still in force. The record is
unparalleled by any life insurance COM
pany in the first five years of its bust
ness in this state.
The plan of the Provident is emf
nently common sense. 1t is the safest,
fairest and most satisfactory plan ever
devised. 1t is easily understood. Day
light shines through it and around it..
Our policy holders are the company's
best agents. Nearly 100000. OO0OO of
insurance has been written by the COM
pany within the past seven years
nearly $4,000. 600 in 1889.
The Provident furnishes pure life
insurance, unmiXed with banking OF in
vestment. That its contracts are safe
is beyond question. The Proyident's
annual statement will be seen i'm an

BENTON GETS 1T.
The South Minneapolis Market
Franchise Uisposed Of

The walls of the council chamber re.
sounded with Orat0ry yesterday. Such
terrible amount of it was turned
loose that it was feared that it would
wreck the building, especially as the
walls are already badly strained by the
heavy fireproOfs which are 50 necessary
TO preserve the city'S records. At one
time the clerks on the first floor became
alarmed and left their desks, but Jani-
tor John Sterrett went to their rescue,
and by opening several windows,
allowed large portion of the .'Oratory''
to float out and play hob with the beau
tiful snow. Col. e. IL. Benton, whose
ordinance has been before the commit
tee for several weeks, was there to insist
on final answer, and he informed the
committee in plain language that the
South Minneapolis citizens. who had
presented another ordinance TOR the
committees consideration, that they
were simply Obstructionists, and that
they only wanted to get their market
ordinance through TO further real estate
speculation III the vicinity of Franklin
and Cedar avenues. He declared that
he and his associates were ready and
willing to invest half million dollars
IN permanent market which would
benefit the entire city, and said that be-
cause he had refused to tell the men,
who protested to be interested in
another market scheme, just where he
was going to locate they had opposed
him.
James Lally, in quiet but sarcastic
speech. declared that Col. Benton had
insinuated, lawyer-like, that every body
connected with the Benton market
scheme were angels, while every one of
the sixteen citizens who wanted fran
chise for market house on Franklin or
Cedar avenues were horse thieves, and
ought to be in the penitentiary. He
made short argument against the Ben
ton ordinance, claiming that it was only
scheme to get block OF ground for
nothing and then sell it to railroad
company. Col. Benton explained that
he did not think the gentlemen
were 'hOss thieves" and laughed at
the idea of dispOsing of the land
for railroad purposes. Judge Ellis re-
Quested the committee to withhold their
| report until they would have both or
dinances properly before them. He
said the company did not ask the COM
mittee to report adversely to the Ben
ton ordinance at this time, but to wait
for few days and then to pick out
what in their Judgment would be the
best for the city. After several more
