CONSUMPTION CURED
AN ABSOLUTE REMEDY FOR ALL
PULMONARY COMPLAINTS.
T. A. slocum offers to Send Two Bot
ties Free Of His Remedy to Cure
Consumption and All Lung Troubles
An Elixir Of Lifo.

An Elixir Of Lifo.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan
thropic or carry more joy in its wake than
Pear. street, New York. Perfectly conf.
dent that he has an absolute remedy for
the cure of consumption and all pulmon-
ary complaints, he offers through this pa
per to send two bottles free to any reader
who is suffering from lung trouble or con-
sumption, also loss of flesh and all condi-
tions of wasting. He invites those desir-
GUS of obtaining this remedy to send their
express and postotfice address, and to re-
ceive in return the two bottles free, which
will arrest the approach of death. Al
ready this remedy, BY its timely use, has
permanently cured thousands of cases
which were given up, and death was looked
upon as an early visitor.
Knowing his remedy as he does, and be-
ing 80 proof-positive of its bene6cent re-
suits, DR.. Slocum considers it his religious
duty, duty which he owes to humanity,
will assault the enemy in its cidatel, and,
by its inherent potency, stay the current
of dissolution, bringing Joy to homes over
which the shadow OF the grave has been
gradually growing more strongly defined,
causing fond hearts to grieys. The cheap
from it's inherent strength, is enough to
commend it, and more SO is the perfect
confidence Of the great chemist making the
offer, who holds out life to those already
becoming emaciated, and says: "Be
cured"
The invitation is certainly worthy of the
consideration of the afflicted, who for
years, have been taking nauseous nostrums
without effect; who have ostracised them
selves from home and friends to live in
more salubrious climes, where the atmos-
phere is more congenial to weakened lungs,
and who have fought against death with
all the weapons and strength in their
hands. There will be no mistake in send
ing for these free bottles-the mistake Will
be- in passing the invitation by.

Old English Music.

Long before the stream of Norman
minstrel art sacred music was exercis-
ing a beneficial influence The early
British church possessed sacred music,
but this was gradually driven out before
the onward march Of that new church
music which Augustine brought with
him from Rome "a. D. 597). The Gre
gorian music evolved by Pope Gregory
out of the Greek tetrachords and some
existing Ambrosian ohants) was heard
and loved wherever Augustine and his
monks built church. By it's means a
deep impression was left upon the minds
of those who heard and joined in it, but
it is curious that we miss altogether the
ecclesiastical favor in the earliest ex
amples that have come down to us Of
English music during the first quarter
Of the thirteenth century.
The free and uncontrolled secular mu-
sic was the first to reflect itself in per.
manent manuscript form. Church music
per Sc was not progressive; the church
tones for the service" and "mass" mu-
sic were fixed, and only heretical Of
fense was the outcome of tampering
Herewith. but no such restrictions ham
pered secular music. - Blackwood' 8

HURT BY THE HALL
CROPS IN A NARROW SECTION OF
MINNESOTA WERE TOTALLY
RUINED.
INJURY BY HESSIAN FLIES,
REPORTED IN THE WEEKLY CROP,
BULLETIN FROM WEST CEN
TRIAL COUNTIES.
FAIRLY FAVORABLE in DAKOTA.
Prospects for the Crop of Early
Sown Wheat Are Now Some
What More Encouraging.

The weekly Minnesota crop bulletin,
issued yesterday, says:
The week has been cool and cloudy
and deficient in rainfall except in the
southwestern counties, where good
showers have fallen. Elsewhere more
cain is generally needed for the late
crops. Wheat is filing well where not
too badly lodged, injured by insect
pests, or, as is the case in portions of
the Red River valley, too backward.
Corn growth has been checked some
what by the cooler weather which is
hardening the stalk, and, in conse-
quence, probably proving more bene-
fetal than harmful. 1t is caring in the
southern counties.
Potato bugs are scarce and the DO
tato crop, although uneven in some
places, is, on the whole, promising
one. The barley harvest is progressing
with the yields rather light, but the
berry is plump and of good color. Oats
are being harvested, and the crop is a
fair one. Wheat cutting has just be-
gun. Small grain is now suffering
much from insect ravages. In the
southeastern counties the chinch bugs
have done some harm, but the army
worm just now is creating considerable
alarm. They have devastated whole
fields in many counties Of this section.
Oats have been cut green on their ac-
count, and some of the worst damaged
fields Of both wheat and oats have been
plowed up in efforts to check their
spread.
In the west central counties, notably
Pope, Swift and Big Stone, the weeviI
and Hessian fly are reported as doing
much injury. A hail storm of unusual
severity totally ruined crops over a
narrow strip Of country in Wadena
and the southern portion of Otter Tail
county and another was quite damag-
ing in the northern portion of Kittson
county. Haying continues with heavy
yields, being well secured. Considerable
rye has been stacked and some
thrashed, which gave about the aver
age yields.

BUSINESS AND LOVE.
The Combination Drove Hanson
Wfthers to AttemDt Suicide

BALTIMORE, Nd, July 2S-Hanson L.
Withers Jr., Of Philadelphia the 28-year-old
son of wealthy parents and prominent social
y. both here and in the Quaker City, at
himself in the head 1t is asserted also
that he tried to shoot Walter B. Pierce aged
26, Of this city, whom he was visiting. and
whose apartments at the Mount Vernon he
was sharing when the tragedy happened A
vigorous effort was made to keep the matter
from the police. Everything points to the
fact that Withers had been drinking heavily
Of late, that he was respondent over an un-
successful love affair, was worried about
money matters, and that If he really at
tempted to shoot Mr.sPierce it was the result
Of nervousness or temporary mental aber-
ration. Mr. Withers' wound is serious. but
not necessarily fatal.
The story, as told by Mr.. Pierce, the only
eyewitness, is that he and Withers have
been fast friends for several years, frequently
exchanging visits. The young Philadel-
phian's parents have recently gone to Europe,
and Withers came here few days ago to
visit his friend. Mr.. Pierce Is soon to be
married and Withers was to have been his
best man. and Pierce scouts the idea that his
friend intended to kill him.

TAXPAYERS TALK.
They're In Earnest About Lower
Assessments

They're In Earnest About Lower
Assessments.
The taxpayers, whose pocket-books
are to certain extent at the mercy
OF the board of equalization, held an
other red-hot meeting at the board Of
trade rooms yesterday morning. Judge
Hicks presided in characteristic style,
and made half dozen good speeches
In favor of close economy and a reduct-
ION OF municipal expenses all along the
line
The question of salaries Of CITY en-
ployes obtruded itself into the discus
sion, ana several emphatic speeches
were made protesting against their
continuance at the present high rates
Along this line Judge Hicks declared
that the city had a council that was
1flghtfully extravagant. The aldermen,
ne said, thought no more of spending
100000 or $500, 900 than an ordinary
man would of expending from $40 to
$50 in his home. Ex-Alderman Gray
and eX-Alderman Joe Ingenhutt both
made rafting speeches to the same
purport. Mr.. Ingenhutt was particularly
earnest and eloquent in his plea for
reduction of the fat salaries OF. all city
employees, when other people are work
Ing for much smaller wages proportion
ally than they got in good times. These
remarks were received with an enthus-
1aSm which would have struck terror
TO the salar1ed minions Of the municipal
Hty, had they been present, and showed
that the taxpayers are deeply in earn
est.
After a two hours talk a resolution
was passed appointing a committee of
nine to keep tab on and work with the
board of equalization, in the hope Of
securing relief. The resolution was
amended several times, to enlarge its
scope, and as finally passed empower
ed the committee of nine to name one
representative from each ward and five
additional members from each ward if
necessary.
H. G. Hicks, E. c. Babb, Joseph Ingen-
hutt, Carey Emerson, Henry H. Hill,
Anthony Kelly, F. w. Wyman, Moses
Hayes and A. L. Croker
Ex-Ald. Barrows, of the state board
of equalization, was present and spoke
briefly of his willingness to do what
he could towards tightening the. bur-
dens of Minneapolis taxpayers He
warned them, however. that their parti-
cular business was with the local. and
not the state board.
Two other resolutions, one relating
to selecting good men for the council
and another thanking Anthony Kelly
for his action in enjoining the council
from closing a contract with the Gill
letteHerzog Manufacturing company,
were ruled out of order. Mr. Kelly stat
ed that he was not entitled to the
thanks Of the meeting. He had simply
permitted the use of his name and the
credit for getting after the council be-
/ longed to George Robinson.

Various Crop Reports.

WOONSOCKET, S. D., July 28.-As the
wheat harvest advances here it is found that
rust has greatly damaged the crop. A
hail storm did considerable damage in this
vicinity yesterday.
WATERFOWL, s. D., July 2S.-Crops Of
all kinds in Codington county are the best,
taking them as a whole that they have been
for ten years. The only fear entertained for
them is that heavy rain or wind storm
may come along and lodge the grain. AS the
fields appear, just now, wheat, oats and bar
ley have all they do to keep standing,
so heavy is their growth.
ALPENA, S. D., July 28.-A disastrous hail
storm occurred at 6 o'clock Sunday morning
in the western part Of Jerauld county over
three miles wide, and the length is not
known, but it is estimated that at least 700
acres of wheat were destroyed that would
have yielded twenty bushels per acre.
MARSHFIELD, Wis, July 2S-Harvesting
is going on freely. Barley and rye are heavy
crops, with winter wheat a close third. Oats
that are not cut are, in some localities suf-
fering terribly from the army worms devas-
tating work. Potatoes and peas promise a
fairly good yield; corn will average better
than usual. Dairying is on the increase in
this section
WINDOW, Mimi, July 2S.-The weather
here the past week has been favorable for
small grain. We had fine shower yesterday,
without much wind. and it has cleared off
quite cool. The outlook for small grain in
this country has improved wonderfully since
the hot spell. A good deal of grain on light
soil has already been harvested.

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, N. D., July 2S.-The
North Dakota crop bulletin says: The
weather conditions during the past
week have been fairly favorable for
crops in general, the recent rains and
cool weather having caused the wheat
to fill and the prospects for a fair crop
Of early sown wheat are somewhat
more encouraging. The late sown has
not headed to any extent. and the re-
ports indicate that fields will not head
at all. The work of blowing under
late sown wheat still continues, and
time permitting, many farmers will
continue this work to considerable
extent. Smut is reported as having
damaged some of the wheat, and rust
has also had a telling effect on the
crop. 1t is also being injured in some
sections by a small bug resembling in
shape flax seed, which works its way
into the center of the wheat stock at
about the second joint from the root,

POLICE SHORTAGE.
The Department Must CurtaiI It's
EXPENSES.

The council committee on police met yester-
day afternoon and considered the serious finan-
cial problem which now confronts the police
department, which has exceeded its annual
appropriation for this year and bids fair to
come out away behind at the end Of the year.
communication was received from Comptrol-
Ter Nye calling attention to the infringement
on the appropriation and stating that the de-
partment must curtail its expenses. The
comptroller estimated that at the present rate
the appropriation would be exceeded by SIS, 900
at the end Of the year. But 1t probably will
not amount to nearly as much, as the heavy
expenses have been made during the fore part
Of the year. The appropriation is at present
exceeded by about 50, 00O This is due in part
to the fact that some of last years accounts
were settled out Of this years allowance, so
that the amount spent in excess Of the ap-
preparation for this years purposes practically
is about $4,000. Superintendent Of Police
Smith Informed the committee that in his
opinion it would be absolutely impossible to
run the department with less expense than Is
at present the case.
The committee adjourned without taking ac-
ton, as it was shown that the department was
being run on as economical a basis as posi-
