How She Was Cured.

one or the most estimable women in a
London suburb is subject to sudden faints
and Mysteries and confidently expects some
day to die during one of them. Several DAYS
ago while sitting at her front window en-
gagged in some light neellework convcrsing
with u neighbor, she felt one of the spells
coming over her. She called to her friend
to summon DIR. - and then fan her The
friend went for the family doctor, and in a
short time he was at the house. Meanwhile
the sufferer WAS sure she was dying.
"Oh, Mrs. -" she sobbed Historically,
II know am going this time. Pm dying
now; I'm dying. Goodby, Mrs. -"
The doctor at once began the application
of the usual restoratives, but they seemed
of no avail. The sufferer appeared to be
gradually losing her breath, and the doctor
believed she WAS expiring. He tore away
the ruching about her neck and called to
her friend:
Mrs -, take off her shoes, please.
We must cnlvcn her circulation somehow"
The doctor got her neck free enough, but
when the friend lifted one foot to remove
the Shoe the sufferer kicked her friends
hands with the other foot The doctor did
not notice this, but thinking the friend
could not perhaps undo the buttons he
reached down and picked up one of the pa
TENTS feet. The sufferer, evidently in her
last gasps, kicked him also, but the doctor
WAS determined.
Mrs - he said, "your shoes are too
tight. They must come Off"
Don't, doctor" gurglcd the patient
Don't, doctor. Pm dying"
Il know it, Mrs. -" he said, 'but those
shoes must come off,"
"Oh, no, doctor" was the feeble pleading.
But say yes, answered the now fright
ened doctor, and III take them off too"
oh, doctor please don't; please don't"
Pm sorry, Mrs. -, butt
Raising herself with n powerful effort,
the patient pale rs death itself, gasped,
please don't take off my shoes, doctor
my stockings are full of holes'
The effort seemed to bring back the life
to the sufferer. and i'll half an hour she was
as we'll us ever, with new pair of stock
ngs on, fully ready for the next faint. p

And the follows she was Shaking"
And, my finer feelings raking,
Talked of men who took tho cake"
She believed, she said, in drinking
And accompanied this by winking,
And could not keep from thinking
What dreadful wife she'd make,
Thus shc gibbered without meaning,
While l sat, my feelings screening
And my cultured mind careening
And my heart surcharged with woe.

petent to judge of what is in accordance

ly believe that the best method to remedy
this evil of contradictory expert testimony

other judges and would sit as side judge

should be elected by the people.
II have been told by my legal friends,

ADLAI MAY COME.
The Vice President May Attend
the Reciprocity Conven-
ton.
Congressman Springer Urged to
Bring That Official With
Him.

There is possibility that Vice Presi-
dent Adlai E. Stevenson will be present
at the international reciprocity conven-
tion to be held in this city next week.
A strong effort IS to be made in this
direction by prominent men in the city
who are personally acquainted with the
distinguished Illinoisan. While it is
well understood that the vice president
is an exceedingly busy man. it is also
known that he has long cherished all
intention to visit this section of the
Northwest. On this knowledge is based
the hope that ne may be induced to visit
us while the reciprocity convention is
being held. There is no action that can
be taken by the convention with which
Mr.. Stevenson is not in full sympathy,
and his presence would unquestionably
have an inspiring effect on the work of
the delegates.
As heretofore stated, Congressman
William NJ. Springer will be in attend
ance unless some untOward clrcum-
stance should arise to prevent. After
some urging the GLOBE has obtained
tue consent of Hon. p. H. Kelly. who
will call the convention to order, to
print the following letter from Mr..
Springer, received yesterday:
My Dear Sir: Your letter of 2eth Is re-
ce.yed. in which You urge my acceptance of

Eleven True Bills Returned, All
for Minor Criminali-

The final report of the Ramsey county
grand jury was made yesterday to
Judge Egan and the men discharged
with the compliments of his honor.
They reported eleven additional indict-
J ments. four of which were reserved
from the public gaze by the county at
torney. The fact that a searching in
|, ,vestigation had been made into the coal
combine matter was evident when the
grand jury submitted the names of the
following persons and corporations that
had been investigated and no true bills
found against them. namely:

time in the Investigation on account of
the noriety which the matter has gained
and the Importance of the question. and
\ after faithfully considering the matter.
arrived at the opinion that there was not
. evidenc enough toindct.
! The seven indictments made public
are as follows: David Bowman, grand
3 larceny in the second degree. for steal
ing property from the barn Of Hugh
| Gallagher; Charles Rogers. two indict-
,ments, larceny in the second degree
and burglary in the third degree, for

pocketbook from Susan Oleson contain
ing S7.67; Charles Weber and Joseph
Ascher, grand larceny i'll the second
degree, robbing the store of Bjornstad
d Omdahi.
In its report as to the condition of
the county institutions, the grand jury
recommended the erection of new Jail
as soon as the finances Of the county
will permit, because of the anc;entness
and lack of modern appliances in the
present building and the diffenlty in
keeping it in good sanitary condition.
The WorkhouSe and the city police sta
lions were fOund TO De well taken care
of. The hospital and almShOuSe were
found to be in excellent condition, but,
owing to the crowded condition of some
OF the wards of the hospital, an early
completion of the new building was
urged. At the conclusion of the report
were appended resolutions of thanks to
County Attorney Butler, James King.
