DO YOU KNOW NICKEL-IN-THE-
SLOT MACHINES ARE IN USE
AGAIN
SINCE YOU CAME IN POWER?
OR DON'T YOU WANT TO ENFORCE
YOUR OWN ORDINANCE
AGAINST THEM?
IS CHIEF Goss DEcEIvING YOU.
Some Places Where the Machines
Obnoxious to Aid. Doran May
Be Found.

Chief GoSs is making Mayor Doran
appear ridiculous these days. If he is
not, to use street expression, making
a monkey Of the mayor, he seems to
be allowing others to do SO.
Everybody knows that Mayor Doran
is a reformer. He prides himself on
his political integrity. When he was a
member of the council he never over
looked a chance to array himself on the
side of civic purity. In fact, he took
such an interest in the welfare of spec
ulative youth and speculative any old
age that he introduced into the council
an ordinance aimed at the pool rooms
and all other gambling devices. He
was particularly spiteful in his ordi-
nance against nickel-in-the-slot ma
chimes. His ordinance became a law
and was known as the Doran anti
gambling law. To show how stringent
1t is, the following sections are pub
lished:
That each and every owner occupant or
person having charge of any building or any
person who shall rent permit any build
ing to be used wholly or in part for a pool
room for the keeping therein of any man
ner of game or fraudulent device or prac-
tees, or who shall rent any building there
for or permit therein the playing with cards
or dice or other games of chance or any
form or manner of betting upon any game
of chance or the result of any event for
money shall be guilty of misdemeanor.
Any person participating in any manner
of gaming or fraudulent devices or practices,
or who shall play with cards or dice or
other games Of chance or who shall bet upon
any game or the result of any event in any
pool room in the city of st. Paul. shall be
deemed guilty. of a misdemeanor.
1t is hereby made the duty of the police
del artment of this city to arrest and pros
ecute all persons violating the provisions of
this ordinance.
Any person violating any of the provi-
81 ms or this ordinance shall upon convic-
ten thereof, be fined in the sum of not less
than $40 nor more than 500 or by punish

NOT IN HIS THROAT
Joseph Balfour's Frogs Were in His
Glass.

j. Balfour fifty years old, who claims
I to be a tailor from Grand Forks, occu-
pies a cell at the central station and
is booked as a drunk. Balfour says
he has been drinking hard for several
days and came to ST. Paul on Wednes-
day. He kept pouring the whisky down,
the change of air not seeming to affect
his appetite for the booze in the least.
Yesterday morning he attempted to
take drink of water, but he saw so
many frogs in the glass that he con-
cluded it would be good idea to sui
eide. He was on the point of putting
the idea into execution when he real
lied his position, and instead of cutting
his throat, rushed to the police station
and asked to be locked up. A razor,
knife and a large pair Of shears We're
taken from him and he was locked UP.

Paul yesterday, who applied for full
naturalization in view of the recently
adopted constitutional amendment
providing that voters must be full
fedged citizens of the state for a
period of three months before possess
ing the right of franchise. The ap-
plicants appeared before the court in
body with e. H. Hillstrom and G..
w. Herrtck as witnesses who testified
to their character and general COM
potency to become good citizens of the
United States The entire delegation
was composed of Germans and Scan
dinavians, who are employed in the
different manufactures of North St.
Paul. Most of the men are mechanics
and a number of them householders.
They were all anxious to renounce
their allegiance to foreign potentates,
and upon the payment of $1.25 each,
were presented with the documents
which make them members of Uncle
Sans family.
1T was expected that a delegation of
200 from Goodhue county would also
be in court yesterday to take out
second papers, but 1t did not arrive
1t is proposed that the delegation come
to St. Paul Tuesday, but as this is not
a convenient date for the judges it's ap-
pearance is uncertain.

After hesitating for day or two to
approve the resolution of the common
council allowing the bill Of the gar

sign it. This is the bill that Health
Commissioner Stone declined to audit,
believing that the work had not been
performed according to the terms of
the contract. Inasmuch, however, as the
contract provides that the council shall
have power to adjust the bill in case
the health commissioner refuses to ap-

The Value of Newspapers.

Many of our newspapers are perma-
nent business enterprises and the edi-
tors are makinSa precarious and haz-
ardous living out of them. We all find
it hald to get out of the old ruts and
harder still to educate the people up to
the true value of a newspaper. After
awhile the leaven will leaven the whole
lump, and every family will realize that
they must have at least one or two
good papers and they will not hesitate
to pay for them. The people will soon
learn that a good county or State paper
is worth more than great institution
of learning in any county in the State,
and we are not detracting from tie value
of colleges. 1t costs from two to four
thousand dollars Il year to run a good
county paper, and then the editor aud
printers only make a bare living, but
if eight-tenths of the families in any
county would subscribe and pay for
the paper. the cost of it would be a
mere trihe compared to its value.
People should learn that it is just as
important to pay for newspaper as it
is to pay for shoes or any article they
buy.-Progressire Farmer.

Another New State Enterprise.

Messrs. J. II. Bobbitt and J. l..
Ramsey, of Raleigh, have organized
the Bobbitt Drug Company with head
quarters in that city. They viii! man
ufacture what they claim to be supe-
rior remedy and certain constitutional
cure for rheumatism, called "Rheuma-
cide,' an entirely new discovery. The
proprietors state that sales have al
ready been made in three States, and
cures effected in every case. The
Raleigh Press Visitor says:
''Mr. Bobbitt is we'll known as one of
the best and most progressive pharma-
cists in the State and is eX-president of
the North Carolina Pharmaceutical As
ISOLATION, and the fact OF his bringing the
remedy forward is alone good guaran-
tee for it. Mr. J l.. Ramsey will be ad-
vertising manager, and has the ability
to push the enterprise to success" etc.
The Neus and Observer also gives
an extended notice, aud after speaking
of a number of remarkable cures, says:
MFR. Bobbitt and Mr.. Ramsey are the
men to push it actively and wisely
The remedy is said to be entirely
,getable and non alcoholic. The
method of manufacture and ingredi-
.nts are different from any proprietary
medicine on the market.

Cheeky ADVERTISE NG PROPOSE

This is not as cheeky as one we re-
celved lately from an Indiana patent
medicine manufacturer. He wanted
5000 worth of space for $1,000, and
. in order to get an advertisement, we
would have to sell s2l 90 worth Of his
remedies to local druggist, take his
acceptance for the amount ofbil, pay-
able on such terms as might be agreed
upon, say 6 and II months), and remit
$500 in cash to the mighty medicine
man, either out of our own pockets or
by requiring the dealer to pay that
much before he could get the goods.
