Strychnia, in proper dosage and admin
istered by an intelligent physician, has
shown itself the most active agent, and
acting more like a specific than any
other remedy yet used for its treatment.
Fifth-Hypnotism properly used. in
combination with strychnia and care,
diet and surroundings is one of the best,
If not the best, agent to effect cure.
Sixth-All claims of cures with gold are
false and fraudulent, other agents or
agencies being used either alone or in
combination with the alleged gold cure,
and these in reality causing the cure.
SEVENTH speak confidently and know
ingly upon this subject, having for
years been victim of this terrible dis
ease, and having by those means OBJ

number of patients used them with the
happieSt result. l am not opposed, but
rather in favor of, and consider home
for inebriates as a necessity, but L am
opposed to quackish and sensational

Arrangements for the Big Parade
Nearly Completed.
Trades and labor assembly had a
largely attended and interesting meet
ing last night at labor headquarters.
Considerable time was given to arrang-
ing for Labor day exercises. The sew
eral delegates gave assurances that all
assemblies represented will participate
in the parade, many of them wearing
novel costumes. They will have half
dozen bands to enliven the marching. A
communication was received from sew
eral retail merchants stating that a
number of the retail stores are
violating the early closing agreement
and that unless something should be
done in the premises other stores would
consider that the agreement is not bind
ing upon those observing the agreement
A resolution was approved directing the
delegate from the retail clerks union to
ask his organization to prepare black
list of those not observing early closing
hours in order that the list may be pub
liShed. The trades and labor assembly
desiring to tender Miss MOllie V. Lee a
testimonial of regard for her efficient
and constant services for great many
years as secretary decided to present her
an after-dinner coffee set.
The harnessmakerS' union held an
open meeting at Labor hall last night.
Trade organization was discussed.
Speeches were made by Mr.. Merrill,
Frank Nimick and others. The or

able Distress.
BERLIN, Aug. 2S-Russian news
papers entirely confirm the recent re-
ports of terrible distress among the
peasants in the valley of the Volga.
The people are in a condition of the ut
most restitution, without clothes and
without food. wandering about IN rags
on the verge of starvation. SWarmS
of families have left their homes
and resOrted to begging on the road
sides. The situation of the entire pop
ulatiOn is extremely critical. The Kew
lanin, published in Kietf, considers the
condition of the peasants desperate
Already immersed in poverty and in
debted to the state. while their taxes,
which they are unable to pay, continue
to accumulate, by next spring the entire
Russian peasantry will probably be
bankrupt.
reports from Warsaw show that the
peasants of Central Russia are emigrat-
ing by the whOlesale; 500 men have
already abandoned their families in
order to emigrate. The Vossische lei
tung says that Russia is undergoing the
periodical famine to which she is sub
ject and which becomes more serious
with each recurrence, owing to her
primitive husbandry and the indebted
ness OF her peasants. The Cologne Ga
zette says that 100000 barrels of rye
have been imported from Russia at eX-
orbtant prices, when one-halt the
amount would have been sufficient. The
Gazette demands that the government
return all rye imports to Russia.

cipaI of the high school, will hold ex-
aminatiOns of candidates for admission

and those who have removed here from
other points. Prof. Carman trusts that
ali who desire admission will present
themselves on that day.
Three sessions OF the high school will
be held daily. That is, morning ses-

COAIO's WANTS.

Better Street Car Service and
Other Improvements Desired.
There was a meeting of the property
owners of Como avenue and vicinity at
L. l.. Mays Office on Como avenue
Thursday evening, at which there was
representative attendance. A. II. Stahl
was chosen chairman and Alex
ander Nicoll secretary, after which
the business of the evening was en-
tered upon. The street car company
was cenSured for the poor accommodate
tons on the Como avenue line. 1t was
the sense of the meeting that Como ave-
nue. should have double-track line and
cars at shorter intervals.
The next matter taken up was the
necessity of a public market out in the
Como district, as the city owns property
there bought for that purpose. 1t was
thought that this land ought to be inn
proved by putting up market buildings
for the accommodation of the residents.
Strong speeches were made in regard
to the condition that Como avenue Is in
at present. A sewer is needed badly,
and the owners want the street put in
condition for driving. he Como ave-
nue. bridge also came up for considera-
ton. 1t was stated that it was unsafe,
and that two carriages or car and a
carriage cannot cross at the same time.
Since Dale street was bridged the travel
has been leaving Como avenue.
1t is desired that Rice street be wild
ened twenty feet between Como and Uni
versity avenues. 1t is also desired that
the trees on Como avenue be set back
to the sidewalk and the roadway
widened.
The following committee on perma-
nent organization was appointed: John
Herman, chairman; John Walraff, John
Jarvis. l.. l.. May. August Jansen.
Alexander Nicoll, Joseph Matz, Adam

On motion of Mr.. May the committee
will meet on Monday at p. m. il the
