also deny that Hopper, at the Fergus
Falls meeting, attempted to vote viva
voce by saying: 81 voted for Has
tings, believing the site offered by, Has
tings to be the best and most advan-
tageous to the state. I believe so still,
but 1 represent the Seventh district
and my constituents want me to vote
for Anoka. I therefore change to
Anoka."
They allege that at that meeting,
when vote was being taken on East
mans motion and resolution, Hopper
stated as follows and not otherwise:
"At the meeting in st. Paul I voted for
Hastings. I am now convinced that
the best interests Of the state will be
served by locating the fourth hospital
north of the Twin Cities, and in so
voting I am representing the sentiment
of my district. When I returned home
I found that my people thought great
injustice had been done to the northern
portion Of the state, and I received pc
titions from many of the most promi-
nent citizens in the Seventh district
asking me to vote for a reconsideration
and correct the mistake in judgment
that I had made"

wer is signed by Hopper, Block, East

POLICE COURT NOTES.
Several Charges Against Thomas
O'Neil Dimissed.

In the municipal court yesterday
four charges against Thomas O'Neil
were dismissed, owing to the absence
of the complaining witness. O'Neil is
a hotel runner. He was arrested a
month ago on complaint Of a Mani
toba farmer, who accused the runner
of obstructing the streets, personating
an officer, disorderly conduct, and as
sault and battery. But the farmer did
not stay to prosecute his quartette of
cases. He said that a coy bride was
awaiting him on the far Saskatchewan,
and that he preferred the delights OF
love to the joys Of litigation.
Two cases against Ed Carver, the
unfortunate son of an old citizen, We're
dismissed without prejudice. Carver
was accused of failing to account for
certain collections. 1t is understood
that he did not altogether realize what
he was doing at the time of the alleged
misdemeanorS, and that he has been
sent to an inebriate asylum at Roches-
ter.
A boy named John Rost was charged
with stealing a newspaper from door
step. 1t was shown, however, that John
had taken a Pioneer Press, and he was
discharged.
John Burke, who has been judicial
ly found drunk on previous occasions,
was proven guilty of an additional
inebriation, and was sent to Como for
ninety days.
The case Of G. H. David, solicitor,
against Albert Coates, who is connect
ed with an installment house on South
Wabasha street, was continued until
Jan. 1. David alleges that Coates tried
to collect a bill by the use of a club.
Michael Moore, alias Howson, and
John Olson, alias Myers, were each sent
to the WorkhouSe for ninety days. They
had entered Grady & Waldron's saloon
at Seventh and Minnesota streets early
yesterday morning and taken two bot
ties of whisky while the bartender
back was turned.
H. e. Conklin was arraigned on the
charge Of having struck A. Harris in
the eye without provocation the other
evening at Merriam Park. Conklin
will be tried Jan. 81.

is eighty-five years of age. The de-
PENDANTS were Ida Muehlenbruch, a
daughter of Mrs. Petsch, and Daniel
Muehlenbruch, the husband Of the first
named defendant. The actions were for
the recovery of 5000 on note from Mrs.
Muehlenbruch, and $500 on another
from the husband. The defense in both
cases was that the money had been
given as gift and the notes were
merely memoranda, not intended to be
collected, but family dispute brought
On the suit. Judge Otis dismissed the
suit against the husband, without
prejudice, but took under consideration
that against the wife.

Col. Samuel Stoutener who would eat up

derful remedy, and even Samuel, after all
his years of slavery, lost the desire.
j, G. Cobler Leasing Evans, Frank Dell,
Geo. B. May, C. o. SkiIlington, Hanson Rob-
inett Frank Hershberger, John Shinn and
others have since tried No-To-Bac, and in
every case they report, not only cure of the
tobacco habit, but wonderful improvement
in their general physical and mental condition,
all of which goes to show that the Of
tobacco had been injurious to them in more
ways than one.
All of the above gentlemen are so we'll
pleased with the results that we do not hesi-
tate to join them in recommending it tc SUI
fering humanity, as we have thoroughly in
vestgated and are satisfied that No-To-Bac
does the work well and is boon to mankind.
The cost is trifing, and three boxes are
guaranteed to cure any case, or money re-
funded. One box in every instance stated
above effected a cure, with one or two eXcep-
tons No-To-Bac has a wonderful sale upon
its merits alone, and can be secured at al
most any drug store in this country or Can

there are several on the market. Be sure you
get No-TO-Bac. Then you're all right.

The court house loafers have become
such a nuisance that the mayor will

tobacco juice; the other species COM

Elevator at the City Hospital.

Within ten days the new ward building OF
the city hospital will be equipped with an
elevator. The hospital commission fought
hard last year for this much-needed adjunct,
but could not secure it because the city
comptroller said there were no funds on
hand to pay for it. This year, however, the
board OF control happens to have a surplus
on hand, and accordingly the elevator will be
provided. The work OF putting it in is now
in progress, and City Physician Ancker said

HEAVY DAMAGE SUIT.
Action of Levy NJ. Myers Against the

Judge Nelson and a jury in the fed
eral court are trying the suit of Levy
M. Myers, to recover from the Omaha
road $4,000 for personal injuries sus-
tanned by being burned by the explosion
of an oil tank, while travelling on the
defendants road. The case was tried
once before, but resulted in a disagree
ment of the jury. Myers was at one
time United States consul at Victoria,
and since then he has been editing a
paper in Iowa. The explosion by which
he was frightfully burned took place
during the progress of fire at or near

LOWER BROADWAY TODAY.
Proposed Repaving to Come Before
the Board.

The board of public works granted a
hearing yesterday to the property own
ers in the matter of the preliminary or
der for paving Chestnut street, from
West Seventh street to the river. Over
three-fourths of the property owners
were represented, and they were unani-
nous in opposing the Improvement,
maintaining that the street between
these points was not subjected to any
traffic except that of garbage wagons.
The board therefore decided to render
an adverse report.
Today the board will consider the or
der for paving Broadway, from Third
to Seventh streets.

Glucose Imitation of Honey.

''How much adulterated honey is
sold in Chicago? That is hard to tell, -
said DR.. @. @. Butler, president of the
State Beekeepers' association, ''but there
is a great deal of glucose which is sold
for honey.
cit is said that since August Chicago
has received 500 tons of honey. Some
people say over 1000 tons have been
sold. The increase is all glucose. Adult
teration is confined wholly to strained
honey. 1t is impossible for human art
to produce real honey in the comb which
is not a bungling affair. I once saw an
attempt by celebrated German to imi-
tate the bee, and the work looked fairly
well until it was placed alongside of real
honeycomb, when it was evident it was
bad job.
"Beekeepers feel sore over the sale
of glucose for the real article, and we
will go before the legislature at its next
session and ask that it be made a Grim
inal offense. The adulteration lowers
the price of honest honey and Injuries it's
sale at any price. Chicago Tribune.

And the Result Gave Its Owner Consider
able Uneasiness.
The narration of several experiences
of travel led one of the Americans in
the smoking room of the steamer to fell
this story:
"There is in Hanover, as some of
you know" he began, "a beautiful gar
den, Herrenhausen, on which the kings
of Hanover, when there were kings of
Hanover, lavished much attention.
Some years ago 1 visited Herrenhausen
with my wife and children and some
persons whose acquaintance we had
made on the steamer. 1t was a beautiful
day in summer, and we all felt in the
highest spirits. 1t happened that at the
hotel some one had told me of the stat
ne of former margarine of Hanover
which was soon to be unveiled in Her.
renhausen. 1t was to stand in a she'll
shaped structure, the whole of which was
boarded over at that time.
"When our party reached the shedlike
affair, began to tell what it was there
for, who the margarine was and so on,
pretending vast knowledge of the
whole business. One of my children
then wanted to know if we couldn't sec
the statue. In joking way said Ger.
tainly, and going up to the gate of tho
shed drew bunch of keys from my
pocket. did it as if 1 were going to
open the lock and actually put key
into it, taking the first that came to
hand. 1 turned the key to carry out tho
joke and was astonished beyond measure
to find the lock yield and the door open.
my little daughter clapped her hands
and exclaimed, oh, papa's opened tho
door, and rushed in to see the statue.
The others followed, while I for a mo-
ment was too dazed to say a word. l be-
gan to feel more or less alarm. had
head a great deal about the strictness of
German enforcement of law and knew
that technically | had committed bur
glary. The question also arose in my
mind whether [ could not be hauled mp
for leze majesty and sent to prison for
six months. At the same time it would
have been embarrassing and humiliating
to confess to my children that | had
made a mistake and had no right in
there.
1.-The statue was covered with cloth,
and SO [ managed to hustle the party
out of the shed after short time. Ono
of the laborers CHANGED to pass, and no
was evidently surprised to see us in
there. He must have taken me for the
sculptor or something of the kind and
did not summon policeman. 1 was in
the greatest trepidation until relocked
the door and finally went away with my
family and friends. There were proba-
bly, million chances to one that my key
wouldn't fit that particular lock, but
haven't liked to be too practical in my
jokes since that time. '-Philadelphi
