Mrs. Emma 81. Williams, the soprano
of the First Unitarian church. wants a
divorcearom Frank c. Williams. Her
complaint charges cruelty. The case
came uD yesterday morning but was
continued. She alleges that while
living in the same house with her
husbands parents, the father-in-law
assaulted her and drove her out. She
refused to live with her husbands peo-
pie after that and that caused the
trouble between herself and husband.
She accuses her husband of threatening

The latest failure is that of Weitzner

The liabilities are estimated at S5S, 900

"a Snap" That is Not Soft.

To the Editor OF the Globe.
The GLOBE is good paper, ably
edited. always readable, and usually re-
liable. Last Sunday, however. and
upon one or two other occasions. refer
ence has been made to myself and 9TH
ers in connection with the Office of in
ternal revenue storekeeper in this city.
in which some Measurements of facts
appear. The Office is that of storekeep-
er and not doorkeeper. as the GLOBE
persists in calling it. Capt. Tirrell had
nothing to do with procuring my APP
pointment. The election of clerk of the
district court will not occur next fall, or
the next. The position of storokeeper
is not a ''soft snap" as stated in the

Some really humorous tales of jury
room scenes have been told. and some
of decidedly different order. The de-
alterations of the jury which sat on the
Cronin case in Chicago is a case in
point on the latter side of the question.
There one juror who stood out longer
than his fellows thought he should. was
fairly driven into acquiescence in the
verdict through the persecution to which
he was subjected by his fellow jurors.
But there is good deal of fun in the
jury room. Juries do not spend all of
their time in celebrating over the
merits of petty case between John
Doe and Richard Roe. If they knew
their business, and there is usually
some man among them who does, they
SO time their deliberations as to get rid
of serving on as few cases as possible.
They, therefore, talk politics, spit at
mark, tell large stories, play seven-up
and pass away the time in various other
modes.

GUS objection which the Manitoba COM
pany advances against the city's plan,

For many years the police and prison
authorities have taken descriptions of
the prisoners which from time to time
are in their custody. At first the de-

HOW They TAKE 1T.
But Few of the Aldermen Opposed

But Few or the Aldermen Opposed
10 che Halfway Proposition.
1t is safe to predict that a number of
the aldermen favor the change proposed
by the Minneapolis street railway com
pany from the cable to electric power.
although many of them say there is no
need of any hurry in making the change.
There has. been considerable objection
to the open slot in the middle of the
street, ank few have also sbjected to
the overhead electric wire. but the
general opinion yester lay was that
no valid reason would be found for not
accepting the proposition made by
President Lowry. President johnson,
of the council, in an inverview afterthe
meeting said that fully three-fOurths of
the people of Minneapolis want the
electric system, and Aid. Parry declared
that his constituents all wanted it,
while Aid. Mellow thought the company
was not going to do all that he wanted
it to do for the people of his nailiwick.

IN THE JURY ROOM.
Some Funny Stories Which Could
Be Told by Jurors.

Be Told by Jurors.
The jury system is noble institution,
the bulkwork of liberty. the hand
maiden of justice, or anything else you
have mind to say of it. Created in
the days when quiet or innocence was
established by ability to walk OH hot
plOwshares,s the jury system was an in
strument of justice, but in these en-
lightened times it has arisen 20 the
nobler height of providing employment
and amusement for free-born citizens
without disagreeable old Madame JUS
tice sticking her nose in at all.
Could the walls of the jury rooms but
speak they would tell some very funny
stories of the deliberations which have
taken place within their walls, and of
the scenes and arguments which make
of the mill of justice huge burlesque.

face and then OH the neck. The erup-
ton seldom becomes vascular before
the end of the second, or the commence

after they have become vascular,

What do you vaccinate with?"
1--WE vaccinate entirely with bovine
virus. and we get all our material from
the largest vaccine farm in the United
States. The points are supplied ready

want them, and each point is used once
and then thrown away. We do not even
dip in watera second time after it has
touched the patient"
The health officer devotes consider
able space in the annual report which
is about to appear, regarding the ne
cesSity of citizens being vaccinated and
all other necessary precautions to avoid
the spread Of the contagion.
