A SAD DEATH.
Hrs. Daniel Palmer, of Belgrade,
Unable to Rally from an Operation.

Mrs. Daniel Palmer, of Belgrade,
an old resident and member of the
well-known Trask family, died at
nine o'clock Tuesday. She was aged
about thirty-tive years, and leaves a
husband but no children. Her death
is source of sorrow to all who knew
her.
Mrs. Palmer had long been severe
sufferer from a serious disease, and it
was realized that an operation offered
the only possible hope of recovery.
On Sunday the operation was skill
fully performed by DR.. Abbott, of
Minneapolis, specialist well-known
over the state, and professor of
diseases of women in the medical de-
partment of the state university, as
sisted by Drs. Davis, Andrews and
Steel, of this city. A large tumor
was removed, and the patient re-
ceived the best of care from special
trained nurse, but she was unable to
rally from the operation.
DR.. Abbott also performed two
other operations on women patients
Sunday, and both were entirely sue
ceSSful

In the Third ward, Mr.. Weaver re-
ceived 172 Republican votes and 1873
Democratic votes, as shown by the
party crossed.
In the Fourth Ward II. w. Brown
received four. votes for recorder, S. f.
Barney and Tom Cush each one for
mayor, and M. d. Fritz one for alder
man. A total of 321 votes were cast.
When the result was ascertained be-
yond any question, the Concordia
band came out and serenaded Mayor
Weaver at his home. Mr.. Weaver
was not at his house, and the repeated
calls of the crowd did not bring any
response. This discouraged the party,
and it marched down street again
and serenaded Henry Zimmerman at
the City Hotel.
The council will officially canvass
the ballot Saturday night.

If every man and woman plagued
with frequent headaches, and every
business man made anxious by pain
at the base of the brain and neuralgia
twinges, would take Paine's celery
compound, the world would be light
ened of a vast deal of misery that
Dug ht never to be borne.
The most advanced medical thought
of the latter quarter of the 10Th cent
ury has prepared Paine's celery COM
pound to meet and overcome these
troubles that are due to ill-fed, i'll
regulated nerves, and poor, thin
blood.
N. N. Leaneard, M. D., of Charles
town, Mass, whose portrait appears
above, one of the ablest physicians in
the Boston district, man of charact-
er and influence, says:
"After using Paine,s celery COM
pound for four or five years in my
general practice, can cheerfully re-
commend it. For catarrh OF head or
stomach, for inst9 nee, it acts like a
charm. For women in many cases it
is a blessing For chronic rheuma-
tism 1T does give relief. Torpid liver,
general debility, constipation, pains
in stomach and loss of appetite it re-
lieves, and is the best of remedies in
general nervous prostration recon-
mend it to many of my patients, be-
lieving, as I do, in it's real merits. l
believe it a public blessing to invalids,
and, as yet, not fully appreciated"
j. @. Flynn, M D., well known
Michigan physician, is but one OF
hundreds who prescribe Paines Gel
cry compound because it cures. Writ
ing from Warren in that state he
says: II use the Paine,s celery COM
pound freely In my practice as q
nerve tonic, blood purifier and general
tonic in all debilitated conditions of
the system. [ find it a fine thing for
patients recovering from the grip,
especially old people"

personally with much benefit. | pre-
scribe it with excellent results"
J. Ell. Thomas, M. D., 800 Liberty
street, Pittsburg, Penn, says: For
several months [ had been suffering
from rheumatism. l had taken all
the usual remedies with no real bene-
fit. | took one bottle of Paine's
celery compound and found myself
much improved. The second BOTTLE
is nearly gone and [ consider myself
cured"
w. w. Hubbard, NJ D., of Poultney,
| Vt, writes: Il was run down from
repeated attacks of the grip, and my
stomach, bowels, and kidneys were
out of order, | had no strength,
energy or ambition to think or act,
and was excessively nervous and
irritable. After taking the first bot
! tie of Paine's celery compound L felt
better. The third bottle restored me
to my usual health and strength, and
I feel 10 years younger than before.
| DR.. William Brown of FredOnla,
Kan: sit has wonderfully improved
my general health"
w. Allen Hubbard, M. D., Boston,
Mass, writes: 81 have prescribed the
remedy in number of cases where
| the blood was impoverished and the
nerves weakened. The results have
been so satisfactory that / do not
hesitate to endorse Paine's celery
compound"
Similar testimonials literally by
hundreds might be quoted. The high
scientific attachments of A. Livezey'
A. NJ, M. D., of Yardley, Penn, have
made his attachments authority on
matters pertaining to health. He
gives his personal experience, how he
was cured of sleeplessness. J. w. Fer
guson, M. D., of Thayer, Kan, tells
how it has cured him of dyspepsia,
etc., etc. The sum total of the testi-
mony Of such men as these, as well as
of the more celebrated physicians
whose letters have been published in
these columns, is that Paine's celery
compound makes people we'll

Paine's celery compound is not a
patent medicine.
No class of professional men are
more conservative, more careful in
giving advice, or more painstaking in
finding out the real facts of case
than physicians.
Their recommendation in matters
with which they are conversant is
trustworthy. When physicians of
known repute not only prescribe and
use, but also bring home Paine's Gel
cry compound for their own families,
there can be no doubt Of its high
standing in the eyes Of medical men
In general.
This is what busy, successful practi-
tioners are doing these spring days all
over the country.
Paine'S celery compound is pre-
pared, as they all we'll know, from the
formula of the foremost physicians Of
this century, Prof Edward e. Phelps,
M. D., LII. d. of Dartmouth medi-
Cal school. Among medical men
there is an absolute certainty as to
just what PaineS celery compound is
capable of doing. The careful re-
cord of the vast number of cases
where it has made people we'll has
been published in the medical
journals of the country.
Paine's celery compound stands to-
day as the one thoroughly authenti-
Gated remedy for weakness and de-
bility due to malnutrition Of the
nervous system and impure blood.
This hard working, earnest class of
professional men have never been
slow in accepting Paine's celery COM
pound,
They declare that it gives the tired
body every possible chance to get
back to healthy condition. 1t cures
nervous weakness, heart palpitation,
general lack of strength, and all
forms of weakness; rests and restores
the jaded, fatigued brain and nerves,
because it provides for the abnormal
waste Of these parts by an unusually
prompt supply of appropriate nerve

at the St. Peter insane asylum, ar
rived in the Getty Monday in search
of Adolph Peterson, who escaped this
morning from the asylum, while at
work on the grounds. He tracked
Peterson to KaSOta and then he
thought that the man was headed for

TEE LATE LEWIS MoKENz1E.-A
letter from IL ssncaster county to the
Fredericksburg Lance s:a.ys; 1--WE note
in recent issue of the Free Lance tne
death of Hon. Lewis Mckenzie, of AL.
exandria. His name is among those old
wing friends of the writer's father
and what galaxy they formed !! He
was at least dozen years older than
my father, who has been sleeping in
his grave many years. MIR. Mckenzie
had survived all his old chums. Is
this what is meant by the Survival OF
the Gttest?" Party spirit used to run
high in little Alexandria, and the little
ones caught the infection. When Mr..
Mckenzie offered little girl bundle
of candy in Mr.. Appich's confectionery
store, she deliberately refused, appeal
ing to her father if the gentleman was
a whig. On being assured that he and
her father were one in politics, she
gladly acquiesced to the gentlemsn'f
generosity"

who keeps a store on south Henry
street, about noon to-day reported to
Lieut.. Smith that her money drawer
had been robbed of S4S. Lieut.. Smith
fastened to the scene and after learn

ROBBED IN WAsHINGToN.-George
Smith, macbinist, went to Washing
ton from this city yesterday and was
"held up" within few steps of the
Baltimore and Ohio depot and robbed
of $40. During the afternoon Smith
made the acquaintance of "Reddy"
Duncan and John o. Kelser, who have
unenvitable police records, and paid
considerable money for their entertain
ment. About Z o'clock last night they
led him into saloon near the Balti-
more and Ohio depot and undertook
to rob him there. The barkeeper,
however, ordered the crowd out. 1t is
charged that Duncan then backed
Smith up against fence and went
through his pockets, while Kelser look
ed on and made no protest. Officer
Haines saw the three men together,
and when, a short time later, Smith re-
ported that he had been robbed, Kel-
ser and Duncan were at once suspect
ed. Officer Hayes arrested Kelser, but
Duncan succeeded in escaping. Kelser
had but 50 when arrested, but he
claims that Smith gave him that
amount, which Smith does not deny.

SHOT AT THE WoMAN.-Shortly be-
fore one o'clock this morning while Of
fcers Jones and McCuen were in the
neighborhood of the Washington and
Ohio depot they heard q row going on
in small frame house on the west
side of Fairfax street, near the corner
OF Princess, occupied by Isaac Johnston
and Sarah Levi, both colored. They
went to the house, and in the mean-
time the man and woman and colored
man named John Bryant (who seems
to have been the cause of the trouble)
had emerged into the street. Johnston
had assaulted the woman with a stick
while in the house, and she had at
tempted to defend herself by throwing
q lighted coal oil lamp at him. As the
officers came up Johnston drew a pistol
and it is claimed shot at Sarah. The
officers put the trio under arrest and
locked them up. This morning in the
Police Court the evidence showed that
the woman was drunk and had pro-
eeeded to the corner of the street and
pulled Bryan's hat off his head and re-
fused to give it up. Bryan followed her
into the house where Johnston under
took to force her to surrender the hat.
This action precipitated the row which
nearly ternina'eiin murder. Johnston
was fined $25 for the assault, or given
ninety days on the chain gang. and the
woman SIS, or thirty days in the work
house. Both are old offenders. While
on the way to Jail in custody of Officer
Griffin Johnston pulled small piece OF
root from his pocket and told the officer
the woman had conjured him and that
he expected he would 60 to Richmond

TIE GARBAGE QUEsTIoN.-A meet
ing of the joint committee on poor and
finance OF the City Council was held
last night for the purpose of consider
ing the complaint made by citizens OF
Del Ray against the depositing OF the
city's garbage on the lands attached TO
the aims house. They were met by
Messrs. O'Connor. Bell, Arnold, Supplee
and Nails, residents of the new town,
who were accompanied by Mr.. @. @.
Carlin, their counsel. Mr.. O'Connor,
one of the committee, made an expla-
nation to the city authorities in which
he urged that the fostering OF the gar
bage under the summer sun caused
unpleasant odors to be waited over Il o
new town, while he believed the health
of its inhabitants was menaced. MT.
Carlin also made statement in which
he urged the compliments had just
cause for their procedure. The mem
oers of the poor and finance committees
acquired in the statement that there
was Just cause for complaint and as
cured these gentlemen that the city
vas ayerse to rendering them uncon-
fortsb,s or doing anything that would
andanoer health, and that decisive
stems towar,. abating the nuisance
would be institI; ted at once. The in
terview was of the ,raost cordial nature,
and the representatives from pei nay
repudiated the sensationtl anu uh'
authorized statements which hso Seeu
made in some newspapers to the e.aecI
that violence had been threatened O.
that any harsh measures were ever
contemplated. After the adjournment
of the committees subcommittee
made an official call on the acting
Mayor, who, at their suggestion, issued
orders to the Superintendent of Police
to take the chain gang to the aims
house grounds to-day and have a
trench dug in which to place the gar
bage and before closing it to use lime
from the gas house. This action will,
of course, effectually settle this vexed
question, it being perfectly satisfactory
to the people of Del Ray. Some of the
members of The committee on finance
visited the aims house yesterday even
ing for the purpose of making a per-
sonal inspection of the alleged nuisance.
They became convinced that the hog
pens on the ground were in measure
the cause of much OF the effluvium in
the air, and the committee on poor
have all determined to dispose of the
swine now there; besides there were
soma other things connected with the
management of the place which needed
rectifying in order to bring about more
gratifying results.

A HIGH W1ND.-Abouts seven O'Clock
yesterday evening a heavily-laden rain
cloud appeared in the northwestern
heavens from which vivid lightning
shot ever and anon. 1t looked as
though the city was about to be de.
luged, but the tail-end of the cloud
only struck Alexandria and there was
but little rain here. About half a
mile north of the city, however, there
was quite a whirlwind. The storm
crossed the river a little north of the
old canal locks and in its passage into
Maryland the water in the river was
picked up in sheets. Fortunately no rive
craft were in the track of the storm
and so far as known no damage was
done.
