manly and straightforward way.
The principal subjects treated by
Mr.. Macyeagh were the tariff, the
currency. the income tax and the in
dustrial question. His exposition Of
the republican conspiracy by which
IL was sought to fasten responsibility
for the republican panic Of last year
upon he democratic party was pow

the Illinois democracy. Its effect
should be to close up the party ranks
and arouse the supporters tariff

and thorough preparation for the
battle that is to be fought at the
polls in November. There is nothing
in the present situation, as Mr.. Mac

CATARRH OF PELVIC ORGANS.
A Class of Diseases Not Generally
Understood.

1t is popular impression that
catarrh is a disease confined to the
mucous membranes lining the nose,
throat and bronchial tubes and other
of the respiratory organs. The real
fact is, that all mucous membranes,
wherever located, are subject to
catarrh, and unless recognized and
properly treated chronic ailments are
sure to follow. Morgan of the whole
body is more frequently affected than
the bladder. The symptoms of catarrh
of the bladder are frequent voiding,
which is generally scant in quantity
and highly colOred, with thick, white
or slightly pinkish sediment. Catarrh
Of the bladder is also liable to extend
downwards to the pelvic organs. This
will soon cause smarting, and some
times difficulty and pain. In females
the extension of the catarrhal disease
is certain to involve the female pelvic
organs, and produce leucorrh9a, pain
full periods, and bearing-down pains.
In taking Pe-ru-na for catarrhal
affections of these organs tablespoon
full four times each day is sufficient
for cases of ordinary severity, but
there are acute cases for which it is
necessary to take six doses each day to
get the full benefit of the treatment.
Old nerSOnS who are ANNOYED nv fire.
Quent calls and burning pains, day or
night, never fail to find complete cure
by a few months faithful use of Pc
ru-na.

The Star of Kentucky.

1t is altogether likely that in future
Col. Breckenridge will be referred to,
in not altogether complimentary
fashion, perhaps, as the 'Star of Ken
lucky" that being the sObriquet con-
ferred upon him by Madeline Pollard.
1t may happen, therefore, that he will
go down into history as the Star OF
Kentucky. There are many ''stars' in
history, but the "Star of the North"
will shine brighter than this new star
for, like the Duluth Short Line, which
traverses Minnesota, it is time-tried
and popular. The Duluth Short Line,
as the ST. Paul & Duluth railroad is
known everywhere, is the peoples
popular route between ST. Paul, Min
neapolis, Duluth, Superior, Saltwater,
Taylor's Falls, and other prominent
northwestern points. 1t sends finely
equipped trains on easy schedules over
smooth roadbed on quick time to the
finest terminals, where it makes close
connections with trains running in
all directions. Always take the Du-
luth Short Line if you want comfort
and speed. Circulars, ETC., cheerfully

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

A number of matters were referred
to the Board of Public Works at
the last meeting of the council, and
reports will be presented at the meet
ing Saturday night.
In regard to the paving of Front
street divided report may be looked
for. Engineer Haynes is known to
| be in favor of commencing the paving
OF that street, while President Swan
believes that the work should be post
poned for several years. Mr.. Shoe
maker is also believed to be opposed
to the paving of the street, at least at
this time. What action the council
will take is not known.
The board will report adversely
upon the proposed grading of Cherry
street, as the engineer finds that the
street cannot be graded while the
Omaha railway track is where it is.
This will be disappointment to the
property owners on that street.
A favorable report will be made in
regard to the grading of Minnesota
street. 1t is believed that the street
can be put in excellent condition at a
comparatively little expense.
Engineer Haynes has prepared an
estimate of the cost of the continual
ton of the Fifth street sewer to the
brewery, by way of Fourth street.
The sewer will be somewhat shorter
that way, and the cost will be reduc-
ed to s., l59, of which it is expected
that the brewery will pay $500. The
sewer will undoubtedly be ordered by
this route if the Omaha Railway Com
pany will pay it's share of the cost.
Supt. Spencer has gone to St. Paul to
present the matter to the officials
there and see what can be done.
No figures have yet been prepared
as to The cost of the curling and gut
tering between Plum and Mulberry
streets, but favorable report will
be made upon it. A petition for the
curbing and guttering of the street
from Elm to Liberty streets will be
presented, and will undoubtedly be
favorably acted upon, although there
may be opposition sufficiently strong
to knock it out.
The council is not likely to look
favOrably upon much more new work
this spring, beyond what has already
been asked for and referred to the
board. That which is now going
through the mill will, if ordered, fur
nish work to the idle laboring men
for some months to come. These men
should be given work wherever posi-
BILE, as it is during the summer that
they must lay aside the money to
carry them through another long win
ter. Whatever is paid to the laboring
men of our own city returns immedi-
ately into the channels of trade, and
benefits the merchant and business
man.

Horrible if True.

St. Peter Herald: The Mankato
FREE PRESS states that it is an assur-
ed fact that Mr.. A. Bierman will
again be the nominee of the democrats
for auditor. AS race horse Adolph
is not to be despised. He would make
a good run. From present indications
it appears that neither Hunt or Dunn
would run against him. We under
stand that the bosses have slated Rich
for the position, and what the bosses
say seems to go these days.

SUES OFFICER SCHUETTE.

Frank Swenson has commenced suit
against Officer Schette for 81, 900 dam
ages for alleged false imprisonment.
He was arrested by the officer last
week on the charge of disorderly con-
duct. There was a crowd around, a
man was found covered with blood and
dirt, and everybody pointed to Swenson
as the man to blame. Officer Schuette
arrested him without the formality of
a warrant and locked him up. He
was released in half an hour. Accord
ing to law, unless an officer is an eye
witness to a misdemeanor he has no
right to arrest person without hav-
ing warrant, except in cases of
drunkenness. Swenson in court plead
ed guilty to the charge of disorderly
conduct and paid his fine, so that the
charge upon which he bases his suit is
at most a technical one, it would SEEM
w. n. Plymat is attorney for plaintiff,
and City Attorney Young will defend
Officer Schuette. In case the latter
should lose, the city would undoubt-
eddy reimburse the officer, as the lat
ter was doing what he conceived to be
his duty.

TWO SUITS STARTED.

Julia A. Morgan has commenced an
action against Anna G. Fresholtz to
recover 81, 0S4.66, which she claims is
due her in wages. The plaintiff work
ed for Mrs. Fresholtz Oh the latter's
farm in Decoria from May LIST, 1887, to
April 1st, 1894, except on two inter-
walls, and claims that her services
were worth from $40 to $40 per month.
The plaintiff claims to have received
nothing during all this time.
VIM. O. Simmons has also brought
suit against Anna G. Fresholtz to re-
cover 81, 250 for wages alleged to be
due and unpaid for services rendered
on the farm from May Is, 1885, to
April 1st, 1894. He states that he has
worked for the defendant during this
period except two months each year,
and that his services were worth $40
per month.
w. r. Geddes is attorney for the
plaintiff in both cases, and Pfau &
Young for the defendant. The lat
ter will make general denial of the
allegations in the complaints. The
two plaintiffs were witnesses in the
case several years ago where it was

FOR BETTER SANITATION.
MANKATO, Apr. 10, 1894.

MANKATO, Apr. 10, 1894.
Mr.. EDITOR:-In view of the fact
that our health officer has been urging
the question of better and more
thorough sanitation of our city, and
that heretofore very little attention
has been given to the best methods of
disposing of night soil, garbage, dead
animals, and all refuse matter of Onr
city, few words may be necessary to
the condition menacing our city.
There are today 1000 privies in use
in this city uncOnnected with any
sewer. The average number of per-
sons using each privy is fraction
over five; the daily amount of eKcre-
tion is very large, and the cubic feet
of air contaminated by emanations
arising from this source cannot be es-
timated. Another source of disease,
and one Of the most dangerous, is soil
saturation, with the attending pollu-
ton of the water supply of large
DOIUlO1l VI OuI ClUlLCllS. viz use UllC
water from wells, which condition
must continue, no matter how much
our city should grow. Asa certain
portion Of our citizens will be beyond
the reach of sewer connection, and as
the old way of disposing of filth by
burying in the ground or dumping in
ravines or rivers is unsatisfactory and
entirely unsanitary, we believe the
proper and only sanitary method of
disposing of night soil, garbage, dead
animals, ETC., is by incarceration, and
we recommend that our council give
this matter favorable consideration.
