The method of doing the work is re- versed, Senator Johnson said it was time that in a city of the size of New Haven the law should be changed.

THE OWEN ELECTRIC BELT AND APPLIANCE Co.:
Gentlenoen-Solely in the interest of others
who are, or may become similarly affected with
myself, venture to offer my experience with
the use of the Owen Electric Belt and that
1 am actuated entirely by that motive, must be
apparent from the fact that until you see my
name and address recorded on this letter you
had no knowledge of either. had long been a
sufferer from chronic dyspepsia and nervous
prostration, contracted or aggravated by many
years residence in the East Indies. About three
years ago purchased one of your Belts in the
hone that its use might afford me some relief,
and wore 1t continuously as directed for about
four hours every afternoon for a month or So
and the result wac perfectly marvellous. My
indigestion with all its attendant miseries, ner
vousness, depression, irritability and insomnia,
from which latter I was great sufferer, have
disappeared. then discontinued the use Of the
Belt Uhe existence of which had indeed for
recurrence of my old trouble very forcibly
reminded me of it. I again put it into wear
(after ceasing its use for over one and one-hal1
years., and with the same extraordinary results,
being again restored to health, strength and
vigor, after wearing it for only ten days. Under
these circumstances l can most emphatically
recommend to others suffering from the ailments
which have endeavored to describe, the adop-
ton Of the use of the owen Electric Belts
had long been aware of the curative powers of
electricity from what had read on the subject,
and on my return to England 1 purchased from
Pulvermacher of Regent street, London, the
combined chain bands of which he is the
patentee, for which l paid three guineas, and
although l must admit that l derived some
benefit from their use, 1 am bound to say the
general result did not approach the benefit
derived from the use of the Owen Belt.

adjusting to the body, besides causing from

all not being able to regulate the current as is
the case in the owen Electric Belt. You

think fit of this letter, and 1 shall be glad to

made from me on this subject. 1 am, gentlemen.

UNLAWFUL FAVORITlSM.

The action of the council Saturday
night, in its disposition Of Powell &
Conrad's application for a liquor
license, was not such as to inspire the
public with it's business sagacity, nor
even with it's disposition to be i'm
partial in dealing with the assets of
the city treasury. In whatever light
one may view the action of the coun-
Gil in bestowing such unusual favorit-
ism, and at the same time denying to
the city treasury S400 rightly belong
ing therein, it is impossible to find
any sort of reasonable or justifable
excuse.
The application of Messrs. Powell &
Conrad for liquor license to take eff
feet from December 18th, 1895, when
the license for which they had already
paid would not expire until February
23rd, 1896, was clearly and admittedly
to save themselves from being SUBJ
jected to the increased license which
must take effect January 1st Were a
similar law to affect any tax payer
other than one engaged in the liquor
traffic, it is safe to say that the mem
bers of the council who voted $400 out
of the city treasury in this particular
case, would have smiled at the gall of
a man who would appear before them
tor such favoriteism, and would have
treated the proposition, as they should
have this one, with contempt.
With such far-fetched action as this
is, is it any wonder that the depleted
condition of our city treasury contin-
ues? Is it to be wondered at that the
ways and means committee of the
council are called upon at almost
every meeting of that body to make
loan of several thousand dollars?

The grand jury finished it's labors
this forenoon and just before the time
for taking the noon recess made it's
final report and was discharged. 1t
returned four indictments, and in dis
charging it the court passed the usual
complimentary remarks upon it's
work.
The bar of secrecy has not yet been
removed from the contents of the four
indictments, but there is good reason
to believe that one Davis and Jack
O,Donnell are named in one as the
principals in prize fight, that Danny
McCafferty and Joe Robb are named
in the second as being seconds in the
fight, and that the other two are
against Carrie Miller, the woman ar
rested at Lake Crystal Monday night
on the charge of keeping house of
ill fame. In the case of the Miller
woman, it is probable that one indict-
ment alleged felony and the other a
misdemeanor.
AS evidence tending to show that
the four men are indicted, it can be
pointed to that there was report on
the street last night to this effect,
that it was not denied by the grand
jurors, and most of all that Foreman
Torrey is said to have lectured the
jury this morning on the fact of leak
in official secrets having occurred. All
are said to have denied giving away
the fact that indictments had been
found as reported. Unless the rumOr
was correct, there would hardly have
been any occasion to reprimand the
jurors for a leak, it would seem.
At least three of the men reported
to have been indicted are said to have
left the city. The others who made
themselves scarce during the session
of the grand jury May now return, land
when they do some familiar faces will
once more be seen on our streets that
have been missing for nearly a week
past.
County Attorney Benedict has not
yet had any arrangements, but will
probably do so tomorrow.

1t is really surprising that City At

an act so clearly unfair to the tax pay
ers as that enacted by the council,
and one taken for the express purpose

the license of Powell and Conrad
would have expired. But he did it
without a ''shiver."

Scent.

Between whites on the prize fight

against woman of the town who was
arrested at that place last evening
The woman's name is Carrie Miller,
and she is known in Mankato, having
resided here some months last sum-
mer. After long search, Constable
Mobiles arrested her in the village at
eight o'clock in the evening, and she
was hustled before the justice, who
bound her over in the sum of 81 900,
and she was brought to this city and
lodged in Jail. where she now is. W.
IL. Cole appeared as her attorney last
evening, while d. A Reed represents
the village. Mr.. Reed states that she
has agreed to leave the village, but
has continued to come back, and that
a warrant has been out for her arrest
for two months past.
Sheriff Bowen went to Lake Crystal
in the middle of the night and served
subpoenas on fourteen reputable citi-
zens to appear before the grand jury
today and give evidence as to the
woman's reputation. They were
/ awakened between 1900 and 100
o'clock. Mr.. Reed thinks that he
has good case.
