BOARD OF TRADE EDICTs.
A Change Wanted in the Style of
Railroad Tickets.

At the regular meeting of the board
of trade yesterday morning Maj. J. B.
Bassett introduced the following reso-
luton, which was unanimously adopted,
and referred to the railroad committee
for further action:
Whereas, The several railroad companies
who have lines passing through or terminal
ing i'll this city, make their coupons read
from - to St. Paul and from ST. Paul
to -; and
both Minneapolis and ST. Paul-there seems
to be no reason why the coupons or tickets
sold by all the railroads passing this or ter
minating in either city should not read TO
and from both cities, thus enabling travellers
who stop over in either city to check their
baggage to such city as they desire to stop in.
Resolved, That the subject matter of this
preamble be referred to the committee on
railroads with the request that they consult
with the officers of said com panies with the
view of having the names OF both cities in
serted on their coupons.
Judge Atwater, chairman of the COM
mittee to which was referred the reSo-
luton regarding the payment of fees be-
fore the formation of any corporation,
reported that the committee recon-
mended the adoption of the resolution.
The special committee Oh the street
railway bill reported that they had met
most Of the members of the Hennepin
county delegation and that they hoped
for good results from their visit to st.
Paul.
After the adoption of a resolution
favoring reciprocity with Canada, which
was introduced by M. w. Meagher, the
board adjourned.

JUSTICE TO GRATTAN.
A Treatise on Wasted Sympathy
That Hit the Wrong Party.

That Hit the Wrong Party.
In the GLOBE of last Thursday there
appeared an article headed "Sympathy
Wasted" which was designed as a faith
erly rebuke to the gushing sentimental
ity of az evening contemporary con-
corning the case of a young man who
had lost $500. it was alleged, in that
festive recreation commonly known as
going against the clock" a gambling
device which is supposed to be operated
upon the principle embodied in the old
adage that time is money" No names
were used, and, as has been said, the
object was solely TO check the overflow
of sympathy which the evening paper
in question would do we'll to bottle and
send TO the Indians who need it. 1t
appears that the article i'll question did
James Grafton, the father of the young
man considerable injustice by inuen-
da. Mr.. Grafton is one OF the oldest
and most respected members of the
police force, and the GLOBE had no in
tentiOn nor desire to injure him. 1t
therefore cheerfully retractS any state
ment, phrase or inuendo in the article
published i'll its columns Feb. II, which
would make it appear that Mr.. Grafton
has cOuntenanced the actions attributed
to his sou by the Evening Journal, or
that he has compounded a felony" by
aiding to recover money which his son
claimed to have lost at gambling, or
that he has done anything in the prem
ises that was improper or inconsistent
with his duties as a police officer or
citizen. The GLOBE further expresses
its regret that the publication in ques-
ton should have had the effect of pos
sibly placing Mr.. Grafton in wrong
light.

A Crazy Man With a Ratchet and
Razor in His Pockets.

4tdAOf III Ills Il OShOtos
A young man who was wandering
about the streets acting rather queerly
was taken in charge by the police about
4 O'Clock yesterday morning. He had a
Ratchet under his coat, razor blade in
his pants pocket, and the following lit
airy curiosity was found upon him:

that it is unjust that one man should be-
taxed more for making land useful and en-,
ploying labor on it than another is taxed for
holding land idle and keeping labor off it,
mately be raised by single tax on land
Values
After a resume of he history of the
league in Minneapolis and of the single
tax idea throughout the state. he made
a theoretical application of the system
TO the present state of Minneapolis
finances. The present assessed value
Of all taxed property, except lots and
lands. was given as So, 100000, and
the total value of assessed prop
erty at S13S,00o,0O0, which is now
taxed, for all purposes 2 per cent,
yielding S2,760,000 To raise an equal
amount on the land values alone, the
tax would be at the rate of SO mills in
stead of 20 mills. This would do away
with the annoyance of the assessment
of personal property and the fragrant
frauds in connection with it; and, bet
ter than all else, when a man i'm
proves his property he will not be
fned for so doing in the guise of
increased taxes. The theory of the
present system is that every one should
pay taxes in proportion to the benefits
he receives, and that result is sought
for by taxing at certain rate every
thing that has any value. This plan
would work if the things taxed paid the
tax, but they do not. Men pay taxes,
not things, and the taxes fall, not
on the owners of manufa curing plants.
but upon the consumers of their goods :;
not upon the holders of unimprOyed
land, but upon those who build; and
they amount virtually to a fine upon
home getting. Almost Invariably, too.
they fall hundred fold more heavily
on the poor than on the rich. The aboli-
ton of taxes Oh improvements will
lessen the cost of manufactured goods.
That will create an increased demand,
thus giving employment to more
men and fostering prostitution in every
way. 1t is asked frequently: us low
taxes on the value of lands desirable?''
From the point of view Of the vacant
land owner, yes; for the rest of the
community. no. When taxes are low it
costs little to hold land idle, and land
speculation is increased. That land
speculation is injurious to a community
needs no demonstration Ill Minneapolis.
1t makes homes cost more, adds to the
difficulty of starting and maintaining
all sorts of industries, makes higher
the cost of living and checks in
thousand ways the development of the
community. Land spectators will
flourish on the enterprises of others
just as long as the heavy burdens of tax
alton are placed on industry.
So much for the effect of this system
of taxation in the cities. Investigation
shows that in the country it's evils are
still more fragrant"
After some discussion the league adj
iourned for one week.

TO THE JURY TO-DAY.
Lee Heilpern's Case Is to Be Set
tied at Last.


The testimony of both sides was all in
Yesterday in the Heilpern case, and it
will go to the jury to day. The de-
PENDANT was OH the stand on cross-eX-
animation in the morning, and was put
through course of sprouts in testi-
mony on the books. In fact. the books
were the principal feature all through
the day. and but little were drawn from
! them after all. Mr.. Than dove at
once into the matter of $500 which forms
| the principal action. He was asked in
regard to all these charges which APP
peared irregular, and the examination
was rather spirited, although it did
little but draw out the fact that He'll
perm wished to lay all the blame at the
door of Mr.. Zeidler.
THAT $780, 80 entry, you say, is Irregular"
| queried the county attorney.
Yes. sir, 1t is. That $500. 50 represents that
| Mr. Zeidler owed me at that time"
why. then. did you not enter it on the
book as e. Zeidler, S300.59:"
Because Mr.. Zeidler did not wish his name
| TO appear upon this book.
's,rhen YOU made that irregular entry
| simply because Mr.. Zeidler told you to enter
| it that way, did your
Yes. sir; that was the reason"
The same explanation was gone into in re-
up with the query
Then you made that irregular entry solely
and purely because you were told TO do so by
Mr.. Zeidler:''
Eyes. sir was the answer.
Mr.. Than tried to corner him on
other entries, but he always had an eX-
PLANTATION ready, which. though given
| in low voice, he did not hesitate over.
The resume of the items in the books
grew tedious, and but little of interest
was brought out in the morning. In
the afternoon A. F. Peckham, Frank
-Grygla's bookkeeper, was put upon the
, stand, and testified that Heilpern had
been to his employers office IN Octo-
Der in spite of the fact that he said he
had not Ernest Zeidler followed, and
was compelled to face fire of ques-
tons from Mr. Hart in regard to his
affinity with the cash drawer, but moth
ing was brought out.
E. B. Barnes. reporter for the Jour-
nal, was placed on the anxious seat to
to tell what he knew about the inter-
view he had with Grygla, in which that
gentleman had stated that he knew
nothing whatever about the defalca-
ton, and then the defense rested. To-
day the eloquence of the opposing coun-
sci will he tested.

CLAIM RIVER FRONTAGE.
An Action Brought Against w. w.
Eastman.

Frank G. Griswold. together with a
large number of Nicollet island prop
erty holders, has begun an action in the
district court against w. w. Eastman
and wife in a matter of some impor-
tances Some time ago an action was
brought against Eastman to quiet title
to the whole of the upper end of Nicollet
island. clear out to the center of the
channel, and this action grows out of
the former one. The property owners
claim that they purchased their lots
from Eastman and j. Il. Merriam with
the express understanding that their
title extended to the edge Of the river
and that there was no equity of any
kind outside of their purchase. Now
they begin to fear that their property is
to be damaged by some use of the prop
erty at the rivers edge. and ask the
court to prevent any such use and also
establish their rights to the free use of
the river front and full width of the
street. The action is an important one.

COLD FEET.
At Last the Cause of This Common
Trouble Is Known.

81 am troubled with cold feet"
This was the remark recently made to
one of the leading doctors of Boston, by
the wife of a very wealthy gentleman.
1t is impossible to give the doctors eX
act words in reply, but 1t was substan-
TALLY this:
Your feet and hands are cold because
your blood does not circulate well. If
you would run or exercise, your feet and
hands would soon be warm. When
stream stops running it becomes foul,
and green scum gathers on the surface.
When the blood stops flowing freely, 1t
becomes foul and poisonous, and sick
ness is the result. Now the blood de-
ponds entirely for its circulating power
upon the nervous system. If the nerves
are strong, the blood circulateS freely,
healthily, aud there are no cold feet. Ii
the nerves are weak or unStrung, the
blood does not and cannot circulate.
What then should we do? Keep the
nerves in perfect condition and then
the blood will flow freely, be kept pure,
and health will result. Many people
try to purify the blood. 1t is sheer non
sense. What is the use of purifying
the blood if it does not circulate freely
and becomes poisonous the next day?
''BloOd that flows freely does not be-
come impure, for the impurities are
thrown off every time it flows through
the body. The best way, therefore, to
stop cold feet and hands, is to strength
ell the nerves, so that the blood will cir
culate freely and hence become pure,
keep the body warm and the health
vigorous. l know of no way by which
this can be so readily done as 10y the
use of that great discovery made by
Professor Phelps, of Dartmouth College,
known as Paine's Celery Compound. 1t
is food, Strengtnener, and Il tonic for
the nerves. 1t takes weak women, gives
them health and hope, and brings color
to their cheeks. 1t takes debilitated
men and makes their constitutions
strong, their muscles hard and their life
vigorous. 1t takes puny children and
converts them from sickness into rosy
health. This is what have found it to
be, aid it is for this purpose that | Cor

partly dragged to her home and the po-

Isthmus of Panama the cars spin past
hills covered from base to summit
with the beautiful broad -leaved plants,
their great clusters of fruit hanging
from the stems Just under tle

something like an immense Gala lily.
Its stems are made up from the leaves,
so sheathed or folded around each
