day.
Daniel II. Newton has become insane
during the past few days. He is all in
telligent-lOoking gentlemen forty-two
years of age, and his quiet appearance
invoked everybody's sympathy in the
probate court yesterday, where he stood
an examination for insanity, the result
OF which was that he was committed to
the asylum. He has been salesman in
local tent and awning house for some
time past, and lived at 50 South Tenth
street, with a wife and one child. His
case is one of the most peculiar ever
brought into the court, and is from her.
editarY causes, as he has always had
the best of habits. He spoke quite
calmly, but it was heartrending to hear
him tell the trouble he has experienced
in the head that has been allotted to
him.
He says that for long time he has
had his head changed several times. and
that the one he now possesses is the
worst one he ever had. He has spent
much OF his spare time in a fruitless
search for the old standby. his original
head, which was everything that could
be desired. He looks Oh the shoulders
OF people he meets in the vain search.
but is not able to find 1T. AS he told the
story he moved his head about with his
hands, as If it was an independent part
or his anatomy, and was SOrely troubled.

COUNCIL COMMITTEES.
The Police Will Not Get That
Hard-Earned $27.5O.

A few council committees met yester-
day. sThe licenses and ways and means
committees distinguished themselves by
obtaining the ill-feeling Of every police
officer in the city by their action in re-
fusing to pay the officers the $3.50 due
them as the result of a slash in their
salaries during the reign of the lately
deceased police commission. The rea-
sons advanced were that it would form
an unwise precedent and would open
up new source for the depletion of the
treasury. There will be fun when the
matter comes up before the council to-
morrow night. The committee OH roads
and bridges had hot fight over the
widening of GrOveland avenue. Pro-
ceedings were finally abandoned. The
Wheelmen'S request for permission to
ride on the sidewalk was recommended
to committee of one alderman from
each ward. The report of the commit
tee appointed TO award damages for the
widening of Harrison street was exam
lned. The amount OF damages awarded
is $3.212.

THE AFTER EFFECTS.
where the Fearful Danger of Grip
Lies and How TO Counteraet TIT.

Here is something which one Of the most
prominent doctors in America recently said
about the grip:
Have you noticed that only those persons
who were aged and feeble or debilitated died
OF the Grip? The Grip itself is not so seri-
Gus or dangerous but it is the terribly weak
ened condition that it leaves one in and the
fearful after effects which it brings The
people who die do not have vitality enough
10 recover; they do not possess vigor enough
TO throw off the after effects. Such people,
IN TACT. all people, should have help in some
sensible way to throw off the depressing, the
oeoilltat1ng, the almost suicidal feelings
which the Grip always causes Nothing will
do this, nothing will help nature except
some pure stimulant, and there is nothing in
key" -
No medicinal stmulant ever has produced
the results. ever has received the indorse-
ments or ever has been SO popular as Duffys
fure Malt Whiskey. The reason is exceed
lnglF simple. 1t is because it has gently,
neathlly and completely assisted Nature
toned IL up, enabled it to resist the outside
influences which tended to disease and to
assist toward the attractive path which leads
TO health- The after effects of the Grip are
the worst feature of it. They must be coun-
teracted If strength and health are to be re-
gained. They can be overcome in but one
certain way, and that is by the use or the sem
slble, efhcient and highly indorsed slimulant
ABOVE mentioned. There is nothing before

with 1t, and the genuine should be insisted

NO "WIND," NO WATER.
Minnetonka Will Not Be Improved
Extensively This Year

HAbCholsCly lHtS 4 ear.
1t Is now feared that the stage of
water in Minnetonka will not be raised
for two years more at least. With the
attempts made in the past to secure the
Minnetonka mill property and the fail
ure thereof the public is already famil-
lar. Finally it was decided to condemn
the land. A bill having that object in
view was passed by the last legis-
lature. 1t defeats its object, though.
1t provides that the property
shall be paid for in certificates
of Indebtedness. No money can be ad-
vanced from the company's funds.
Under the constitution Of the United
States ''private property" shall not ''be
taken for public use without Just COM
pensation." In case of condemnation
proceedings the courts would hold that
the certificates of Indebtedness"
while as good as money, are not money,
and they would not constitute a tender
of the compensation for damages. This
puts the matter just where it was be-
fore the bill was passed, except that if
compromise can be made with the
owners of the mill property whereby
they become willing to accept the GER
tIficates Of Indebtedness then the work
can go on.
