MODIFIED CREDIT SYSTEM
Adopted by the Groccrs Mt Their Meeting
Last Night.


Last evening meeting OF the Grocers'
Association was held at Odd Fellows
hall for the purpose of discussing the
resolution passed recently by the 1850
citation inaugurating the cash system in
Wheeling. President Porter was in the
chair, and Secretary strobel at his
desk.
After the minutes Of preceding meet
ings mad been read, and some routine
business OF no particular Importance
had been transacted, the resolution re.
garding tho introduction OF the cash
system in the local retail trade was
taken up. The Butchers Association
had previously appointed 3 committee
to attend this meeting and act in con-
junction with the grocery men. They
we're present.
just as delegate was about TO intro
duce the cash system resolution again
the president called the attention OF
the association to the fact that news
paper man was present. This didn't
seem to suit some who were present,
and motion was made that the sec
rotary give out what he thought should
be published, and that the reporter be
excluded. This motion prevailed
though the newspaper man informed
tho secretary that he would submit his
COPY for inspection. The star
chamber" session then commenced and
continued for several hours. From Sec
rotary Strobel it was learned later that
those present agreed:
]. TO assist members in collecting de-
linquent accounts, to protect Them
against fraudulent customers, and to
furnish members delinquentlist every
thirty days. =,
3. TO continue the credit system with
good and deservincIcustomers from pay
to pay and get good security or a note
for I'll old accounts.
8. 10 take on no new credit CUSTOM
ers without first demanding and recciV-
ing receipt in full of the last grocer, or
getting tirstclass recommendation.
1t was also resolved that at the next
meeting the subject OF doing away with
pass books be discussed. Every mem
/ Der is required to give note of $50 as a
guarantee Of good faith, and any mem:
Der violating these rules, or any one OF
thom, shall forfeit his note, the notes
being in the hands OF the financial Sec
rotary, and the delihquents being re-
ported to him. Every member will be
informed Of such persons. Any mem
Der then opening an account with n
person SO reported will, upon conyic'
ton, forfeit his note.
A long preamble, setting forth good
reasons for these new rutes, was also
adopted.

Judge Jordan Discharges it after an tx
animation.
Yesterday morning tho criminal court
reassembled, and Colonel Arnett and
Captain DoYener concluded the argu-
ment to the jury in the Groves forgery
case. Both made eloquent and i'm
pressive speeches, and the court room
was crowded TO hear them. The case
was given to the jury about noon and
it spent the entire afternoon delloerat-
ing on it. About 5 p. m. 1t came into
court, and Foreman Platod Zane asked
the Judge that the jury be allowed TO
take to it's room certain papers and a
book which had been offered IN evl'
dence. This was granted. aud the Jury
was then adjourned till p. IN.
About 9 o'clock last night the Jury
again came into court and the foreman
reported that there seemed to be no
hone that the members could agree
upon a verdict. Judge Jordan inquired
OF each Juror how it looked, and Juror
Allison said he would stay ayear before
he would change his mind. All agreed
that there was no hope OF verdict.
After some elaboration Judge Jordan
dismissed the jury from further con-
sideration of the case.
1t was learned afterward that the
memb stood eight Tor conviction and
four for acquittaL :,
The prisoner was admitted TO bail for
his appearances at the next term OF
court. The courtreiused to allow theex-
penses Of the attorney and witnesses for
the metropolitan Insurance Company
who came on from New York.
Yesterday warrant was sworn out
before Squire Gillespy for W. B. Henke,
one Of the witnesses for Mr.. Graves, on
A charge Of perjury. The charge grows
out of his testimony on the stand,
which was contradicted by that OF ether
witnesses.
Last night after partial hearing
Henke waa released on bail.
There is promise OF another sequel to
the casc-perhaps several more. There
ia talk now Of prosecuting Stem, the

A Sick Immigrant Causes a Chol-
era Scare.
There was a Small-SiZed cholera scare
at the union depot yesterday morning.
Health Commissioner Kelly was notified
that there was a sick man in the immi-
grant room, and he hurried to the place
fearing that the dread cholera had at
last made its appearance in the city. He
found the patient to be a poor Swede
who had arrived the day before. The
man was suffering from Inflammation OF
the bowels, and, as the disease was not
contagious the case was out of DR..
kelly's jurisdiction, but as an act OF
charity he ordered him taken to the
city hospital. The doctor breathed
freely when he found there was no
cholera. He is doing his best to pre-
vent it coming into the city. but his
staff of medical inspectors is small, and
it is feared by many that in the event
of a visitation of the scOurge to this
country Minneapolis will not escape ell
tirely.
The sick immigrant was unable to
give his name, or, in fact. any infOrma-
ton to the hospital authorities. When
the patrol wagon arrived at the hospital
with him the story was spread among
the patients that he was suffering from
the cholera, and for a moment there
was a general scare.

A Dying Man Dragged Stark
Naked Through the Streets.
New York Advertiser.
A horrible illustration of the brutality
of the Chinese in the treatment of those
of their race who are known to be dying
was furnished yesterday. The Celestia!s
have a superstition that ill luck will
attend a house in which a death occurs.
This is why two coolies were seen about
noon yesterday dragging the naked
body of a dying fellow c%ountryman
along the street at the corner of Clay
and Dupont streets.
Low Yin, a Chinese merchant, re-
Gently from San Antonio. Tex, has been
very i'll at the store of Chung Tai, at SOB
Dupont street. for several weeks. The
Chinese in the place believed that he
was about to die, acd wanted to get him
out of the house, so that bad luck would
not fall on it. Without regard of de-
cency or humanity they dragged him
down Clay street to the undertaken shop
of Quong Fook On, at 760 Clay street.
People who saw it ran to the chief OF
police with all kinds of stories Of high
binders and murder, and Detectives
Cox and GlennOn were SEN to inVeSti-
gate.
The officers found Low Yin in a dirty
place called a hospital. underneath the
undertaker's shop, where sick Chinese
are brought to die. Low Yin was found
on a filthy bed, nearly smothered with
blankets placed around his head. These
were torn away by the detectives, and
DR.. Bunker was summoned. When the
doctor arrived the man was still alive,
but he died soon afterward. There were
no arrests.

WATER AS A MEDICINE.
One of the Rest Remedial Agents
Known to Science.

OIlG IA LllC A1OSO
Known to Science.
Halls journal OF Health.
The human body is constantly under
going tissue change. WORKOUT PARTICLES
are cast aside and eliminated from the
system, while the new are ever being
ormed, from the inception of life to its
close. Water has the power of increas-
ny these tissu changes, which multiply
the waste products, but at the same
time they are renewed by its agency,
giving rise to increased appetite, which,
in turn, provide fresh nutriment.
Persons but little accustomed TO drink
water are liable to have the waste prod
ucts formed faster than they are re-
moved. Any obstruction to the free
working of natural laws at once pro-
duces disease, which, il once firmly
seated, requires both time and money
to cure.
People accustomed to rise in the
morning week and languid will find the
cause in the imperfect secretion of
wastes, which many times may he rem
edied by drinking a full tumbler OF
water before retiring. This very mate
rally assists in the process during the
night, and leaves tissues fresh and
strong and ready for the active work or
the day.
Hot water is one of the best remedial
agents. A hot bath on going to bed,
even in the hot nights of summer, is a
better reliever of insomnia than many
drugs. Inflated parts will suGside I'M
der the continued poulticing of real hot
water. Very hot water, as we all know,
is a prompt checker of bleeding, and
besides, if it is clean. as it should be, it
aids in sterilizing u wounds. A riot
Gus stomach will nearly always CRATE
fully receive a glass or more of hot
wafer.

The police were kept busy yesterday
recording the robberies that had oc-
Cured the night before. Hans Halvor-

ter also reported that he had been robbed
in the same saloon. He lost sos.
Mike Kennedy, of West Superior, com

AN EASTER SERMON.
Rev. William Wilkinson on the
Resurrection.

Resurrection.
Yesterday at st. Andrews church the
decoration was very beautiful. The
chancel was a bank of flowers and
foliage; the altar had memorial flowers
upon 1t for three members of the parish
departed; the music was elaborate and
well rendered. The sermon in the
morning was by Rev. William Wilkin-
son, the rector. who said:
"All men have desired to see past
death, and to know more about the
other life than can be learned either by
reasoning, speculation or experience in
this. The other world will not tell its
facts to our highest human
knowledge. By nature we are,
and, if the experience of a
thousand ages can tell as true, shall
stay in the dark. Revelation alone can
give us the facts we desire. Then we
can see how they do exactly agree with
reason. That which we could not dis
cover we may yet verify by reason.
"What the New Testament tells us
about Christ, after it assures US that He
came back from the dead, is above price
TO earnest men. Death can do very
many things; but we see in the life of
Jesus, before He went up to heaven,
that the old-time goodness, tenderness,
sweetness, mercy and love continued as
before. 1t is worth the most pro-
found study of every man to find out
Just the. order in which He did not APP
pear and to whom when He came from
the grave, and what file looked like and
what He said. We shall find that the
whole appearances were arranged to
strengthen faith, to stimulate action
and to help the dOwncast, the unsuc-
cessful and needy. 1t was Mary Mag
dalene who first saw the Lord. He
