Of health last Summer. This bill was
bitterly opposed by some Of the aldermen
at the lest council meeting, and when it
came up last night, Mr.. Patterson moved
it's allowance. Mr.. Healy moved to
amend by laying the bill on the table
indefinitely, and Mr.. Gussner seconded
the amendment. On rcll call, the
amendment was lost and the original
motion carried, and so the bill was
passed.
The bill Of the Red Wing Sewer Pipe
company, $l15.28 was allowed, and also
one of J.. j. Jackman, 50, for pasturage.
The council then took up a bill of P.
McCue, s115, for water used in sprlnk-
ling the streets last summer The coun-
Gil seemed to favor it's allowance, but
some of them objected to it's being drawn
upon the fire and water fund. Notwith-
standing this. it was passed, but was
afterward re%considered and referred
back to the committee for correction as
to the fund it wa drawn upon.
The council next took up and fixed
the compensation of the chairman of the
local board of health at S. a day and s
cents a mile for travel, whenever actually
employed.
Mr. Patterson then moved that Alder
man Gussner be instructed to telegraph
Alderman Braithwaite at the latter's ex-
pense, that the council had had a har-
monious meeting. The council adj
journed before the motion was acted
upon.

Doubtless many Bismarckers will re-
member Post Hospital Steward Hermann
Luerssen, who was formerly stationed at
Fort Lincoln, and who was removed to
Fort Smelling several years ago. They
will regret to learn of the death Of his

last week. The ST. Paul Globe y
"The funeral of Mrs. Louise M. Luerssen,
wife Of Hermann Luerssen, hospital
steward, o. S. A., stationed at Fort
Smelling, occurred from the residence at
the fort yesterday afternoon, a large
number of the friends of tile estimable,
lady and the bereaved family being.
present to witness the last sad rites. An
eloquent an6 touching address was de-
llvered by the post chaplain, who re-
ferred to the many virtues Of her who
now sleeps. The services at the resi-
dence being ended, the casket was ten
derly placed in the hearse by six mem
bers of the hospital corps, who acted as.
pail bearers, and the procession moved
toward the post cemetery, where the in-
terment took piece and the final tributes
we're paid. Representatives Of st. Paul
Camp No. !, Sons of Veterans U. S. a.,
were present to attest their sorrow for a
distinguished veteran of the war, and his.
SOL, who is a member of the camp"
rae LEa
THERE are all kinds of ways to COM
NIT suicide, but the Yankton woman
who made away with herself the other
day must be given credit for %uniqueness
and originality. She tied a rope around
her neck, fastened the other end to the
axle of a heavy lumber wagon and then
pushed the wagon down hill, trailing
along behind until her neck was broken.
When the numberless easy modes Of in
hicting death are considered, it strikes
one as being in bad taste to go to all this
trouble to accomplish what an unloaded
gun or a blown out gas jet will do with
neatness and dispatch.

Catarrh Cured by Thousand by DR..
Hartman.

AS a result of the changeable climate
catarrh has become one of the most prev
alent and universal disease known to
man. Nearly one-third of the people of
the United States are afflicted with
catarrh in some of it's many phases or
stages. And to this the fact that catarrh
rapidly tends to become fixed OF. chronic,
also the futher fact that it is capable of
producing a great many other diseases,
and We begin to realize the true nature
of this dread disease. So formid-
able has catarrh become that in every
city or town of any size numerous doc
tors are to be found who make the treat
ment of catarrh a specially. Of course
a great deal of good is accomplished in
this way, but as yet a comparatively
small number of the people can avail
themselves of this treatment because of
the great expense necessarily attached
to it.
To all sach people DR.. Hartman's
treatment comes as a boon. It is only
necessary to send name and address to
DR.. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, and COM
plete directions for first months treat
ment will be sent free. Not only is it
more successful in curing catarrh than
the treatment of the catarrh speci-
alists, but it is in the reach of every
person in this land. A medicine which
is the principal part of Dr.. Hartman's
treatment, known as Pe-ru-na, can be
bought at any drug store, and is a
remedy without equal for catarrh in all
forms, coughs, colds, bronchitis, con-
sumption, and all climatic diseases of
winter. Each bottle is accompanied
with complete directions for use.
Address The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufact-
uring company Of Columbus, O., for a
copy of their latest catarrh book. Sent
free to any address.

IL HAS HOt uappoQeu IOr mOntn5, anu
it had begun to be thought it had hap.
pened for the last time.
The city fathers met Monday. And
for over two hours they dwelt together
in unity and harmony. Time has made
some great changes, and laid his hand
heavily upon some of them since the
long ago, when last they sat in session
in the council chamber and discussed
the ways and mean Of the city's ex-
istence. Some Of the aldermen who
we're then in the first flush of life and
health and youth, have grown grey, and
aged in the long period which has
passed since the holding of a council
meeting. 1t was like a family reunion,
and the aldermanic family was complete,
with the exception of Alderman Bralth-
waite, who is out of the city.
A number of the communications
which were received by the council,
were almost outlawed by time, and the
reading of them brought back faint
memories of the long ago, when occurred
the things which had induced their
presentation. One was read from the
Dickinson fire department, in regard to
the purchase of the city's chemical en-.
CINE. The communication was received
last December, and in it, it was stated
that the engine was desired to be pur.
chased before January LIST. AS this
time has long since passed, it was moved
the communication be received, and the
clerk be instructed to communicate with
the Dickinson department, and discover
if they still desire to possess the engine
and if 80 to see what terms could be
made.
A communication from Chief Bentley
of the fire department., asking for two
white and twelve black rubber coats for
use of firemen was read and referred to
the committee on fire department.
A communication from the local board
OF underwriters, calling attention to the
violation of the city ordinance, relating to
the stacking of hay near buildings, and
asking that the evil be remedied, was
read. The communication was presented
before the visit of the eastern under
writer's, and with a view to having the
city cleaned up before their arrival. But
the underwriters have long ago come
and gone, and the mayor stated that he
had attended to the matter himself, and
so the council received and filed the
communication, no action being neces-
sary.
A petition from w. S. Casselman, ask
ing for a lease of lots % and "a, in block
"a, or for a sale of them to him for $50,
wal read and referred to the committee
on public buildings and grounds.
The reports of the city treasurer for
the months of October, November and
December, were read and referred to the
committee On ways and means.
The semi, annual report of the city
clerk for the half year ending Sept. 80,
1891, was read and referred and it's pub
~licatlon ordered.
The committee on claims reported
favorably on the following bills, which
we're allowed.

Papers Stolen in the Virginia Robbery
Returned to the Express Company.
New YORK, October Ell. c. Weir,
president of the Adams Express com
pany, received a pouch yesterday con
tanning a number of bonds, Insurance
policies, stocks, drafts. bills Of lading,
ana other VALUABLE, documents. These
papers were stolen from the cOmpany's
safe in the express car Of the train
which was robbed at Aqua Creek, Va,
on October l2. The pouch was one Of
the express bags taken from the train
by the robbers who showed all their
booty in it. The money was afterwards
extracted and the pouch with the re-
mainder Of its contents was hidden III
the woods near CalvertOn. Searcy, the
captured rObber who has turned states
evidence, revealed the hiding place to
the authorities and the pouch was sent
to Mr.. Weir. The recovery of these
valuable documents reduces the loss of
the Adams Express company by the
robbery to less than 8. 900.
