THE SAULPAUGH III

The management Of the -r..>.sA
changed hands before breakfast this
morning. The new managers are Chas.
II. Parsons and Herbert Phelps, who
have leased the building and furni-
ture for a term of five years. They
purchased the supplies and perishable
furniture. Mr.. ThOs. Saulpaugh will
continue to make the hotel his home,
and G. H. Saulpaugh will doubtless be
in the city more or less.
Messrs. Parsons and Phelps will con-
tinue to act as clerk and steward, as
in the past, and there will be no
change in the conduct of the hotel.
They are live, energetic young men,
and their experience in the business
will enable them to maintain the
hostelry at it's present high standing
with the travelling public. We trust
that their venture may prove sue
cess.

The New Orleans Malta.

Interest in the NewOrleans excitement
is as brisk as it was when Chief Hem
nessey was murdered by the Malta,
and when the CamorristS were sum-
marily lynched by the maddened
Louisianians. There is no doubt that
the members of the Malta, whose mot
to, doctrine and watchword is "Ven-
dettd," contemplate vengeance, and it
does not,require very vivid stretch
OF the inauguration to assume that
some OF those who were concerned in
the lynching will die by the thrust of
a Tuscan stiletto. However, in the
peaceful northwest, where the Malta
wreaks no vengeance, it is of more in
terest to know that the Saint Paul
& Duluth Railroad, with it's admir-
able road and equipment, is the
short line between the sets of Twin
Cities, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth
and West Superior. Close connection
always. Information cheerfully fur
nished by Geo. w. Bull, General Pas
senger Agent, or Geo. C.Gilfillan, Asst.

COMPLIMENT TO SENATOR BARR

The ST. Paul Globe has this to say of
Senator Barr:
Blue earth county has always taken
a prominent place in the legislative
councils of the state through the
character and ability of the men who
have represented her in different
branches of the legislature. And this
prestige has not been leSSened in the
least by the work performed by Sena-
tor George Il. Barr during the present
session. Senator Barr is young man
and not talker, but he is possessed
of decided opinions and votes as he
thinks right, regardless of all other
considerations. In this respect he is
worthy successor of such able prede-
cessors as Hon. Daniel Buck, Gen. E.
M. Pope and Hon. L. G. M. Fletcher.
He was member of the lower house
two years ago, and carried out the
wishes of his constituents so faith
fully that he was conceded the sena-
torial nomination of his party last
fall. His selection followed, and, con-
sidering the fact that all the rest of
the Republican ticket in the county
was defeated, was a very high compli-
ment. He is always present, and no
one ever knew Senator Barr to shirk q
vote.

Deafness Can be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is ,only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infiam-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
that we cannot cure by TAX
ing Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars free.

TWO ACTIONS AT LAW.

Mrs. josephine E. Brown, widow of
the late Judge Jas. Brown, arrived in
the city from the East a few days ago,
accompanied by cousin. She ap-
peared in the probate court to-day,
with her attorneys, J. M. Burlingame,
of ST. Paul. and G. L. Benedict, and
asked that certain property of the
late Judge Brown be re-administered
upon. This property comprises the
persoal property and a one-third in
teFest which it is alleged that he held
in certain lots in West Mankato. A..
r. Pau appeared for the other heirs,
of whom r. e. and III. w. Brown were
present in Judge Torrey's court room.
Chas. l. Brown is the other defend
ant. The technical name of the ac-
tion to-day was the presentation of a
petition for a motion to-'taeate the
decree of the ProDate court declaring
MIDLAND, s,yo2id the final decree of the
executor, and re-opening all proceed
ings In the estate. April 9th was
set as the time, when argument on
the petition will be heard.
"a civil action has also been COM
by Mrs. Brown against the
other three heirs, to recover 1890 al
legged to be due and unpaid by them
on note for S5,4O0 which was given
jointly by the defendants to Judge
and Mrs. Brown, and which it is al
legged they were to pay at the rate of
$40 per month. The 1890 is claimed
by Mrs Brown to be the amount still
due on her half of the note. The case
may come on at the May term Of the
District Court.

The legislature gives promise of
abolishing the Office of oil inspector
and imposing penalty for selling oil
of grade below that fixed by the,
measure. The dairy and food commits
sion is authorized to enforce the act.
There seems to be no good reason why
the measure should not pass. The
office of oil inspector has been sine
cure for some time, and it is a very
good season for looping it off.

PRESIDENT HARRISON is receiving
no end of courtesies from the people
of the South on his journey through
that country. What else may be said
of the Southern people it cannot be
charged against them that they are
wanting in chivalry and loyalty to the
nations chief executive. They are a
warm blooded, warm hearted class of
people, and the visit of the president
will do him good as well as those
from whom he accepts hospitality.
