CURE FOR INEBRIATES.
Hitch Which Is Apt to Defeat the
Law.

1t looks as though the antagonistic
position taken by the board of county
commissioners and the probate court is
going to result in the defeat of the jag
law" The probate judge, in accord
ance with the provisions of the law, ap-
pointed a commission to select a suit
able institute to which to send the coun-
ty patients entitled to receive the cure
at the expense Of the county This
commission selected a Minneapolis in
stitute, on the ground that none suita-
bic existed here. But the board of
county commissioners, with which rests
the discretion of appropriating money
to carry out the law, demurred to the
choice made, and insists that no appro-
priation will be made unless the pa
tients are sent to an institute conducted
by DR.. Miller, in st. Paul. The probate
court commission refuses to concur in
this, so the law is dead as long as the
situation continues as it is.
In speaking of the matter to
G o b reporter last. evening, DR.. Mill
er said that while his institute is not
large, he can guarantee just as good
treatment as patients will be given in
Minneapolis, and the increased patron
age thus secured to his business would
enable him to establish a firSt-class in
Stitute. He secured a petition from
leading business men of the city, favor
ing the treatment OF patients by the
home establishment but the probate
courts commission refuses to pay any
attention to this. AS to the claim Of
the Minneapolis institute that it effects
a cure in 80 per cent Of the cases it
treats he says that is not true. No
institute has ever made such a record.
A large number of cases cannot be cur
ed at all, and the cure at best is simply
a temporary disgust for liquor, giving
the patient chance to exercise his
will. After that the efficacy of the cure
depends entirely upon his own mental
efforts. Therefore it is absurd to claim
that a permanent cure can be effected
in nine cases out Of ten.
OF course the business interests Of
the city are advanced in some de-
gree by giving the business to a home
concern, provided the results obtained
are equal, and the board of county COM
missioners, after a full investigation,
seems to be positive that they will.

Mrs. Kimball was the head and front

She contracted a severe cold while on

her company, the malady became more
aggravated, and resulted in a compli-

Pleurisy was the specific difficulty, de-
Vel0ped from lung trouble, and in con-
junction with a fatty degeneration of
the heart, was the real cause of her
demise.

Notes of the Courts,

In his suit to recover 81 200 personal in
jury damages from the street railway James
Flanagan, the hack driver, was yesterday
given verdict for $780,
1t appears that George Meeks has a Judgment
for 81 600 against the city in case that is pend
ing in the supreme court, and should Mr..
Meeks succeed in getting the money finally
Annie L. Meeks, who has just secured
verdict for $3.50 in her breach of promise suit
against him, will probably be able to recover
her judgment against him.
Lincoln Thayer was yesterday acquitted of
the charge of shooting at Officer Tschida the

Clarence Winch, indicted on a charge OF

CLAIM OF A FIANCEE.
Rather Unusual Action Begun I'm the
District Court.

Something of a novelty in the way Of
a claim against an estate has just been
fled in the probate court in the matter
of the estate of Alfred j. Hill, who died
in June last. The claimant is Miss
Kitty F. Smith, who lives at the corner
of Forest street and Hastings avenue,
and her claim is>for 81, 300 as the fiancee
Of the deceased Miss Smith was an
emp1oye of Foote, Schultze & Co., but
left there on April i last to prepare to
get married to Mr.. Hill The latter
died, however, before the event took
place, and Miss. Smiths claim is for
$10O wages she might have earned had
she remained atowork, 5000 expenses in
getting ready for the wedding, and
81, 900 Mr.. Hill was to give her in con-
sideration of. the engagement. The
value of the estate is estimated at

was while he was ldoing the striking the fin-
gers were cut off, the saw starting too sud

NOn-SuppOrt, Assault and Battery
and Other Things.

Christopher Rafferty,, an old switchman, was
charged by his grown daughters yesterday in
the municipal court with falling to contribute
toward their support. The same charge has
been made against the old man on several
previous occasions, and the relations between
father and daughters are not always harmon
icus. The chief reason, perhaps, for the Raf-
ferty harmony's assuming so Republican a
hue was the fathers reported failure to con-
tinue a monthly subsidy of $40. Mr.. Rafferty,
will be heard at length tomorrow.
John Kicks, the negro accused Of assault
and battery, was discharged

A number of matters of routine char
acter were taken up for disposition
The appended report was submitted by
the committee on legislation under a
resolution by Gen Andrews, with ref
erence to the application of civil service
rules in various city Offices:
We believe that the common council and
other departments of the city have power to
adopt civil service rules to regulate their par
ticular departments, but we do not believe
that the common council has power by ordi-
nance to adopt such civil service rules for
general application to the different depart
ments.
We further believe, that to be effectual,
civil service rules should be made obligatory
by an act of the legislature, and that until
such an act is passed it is not expedient to
attempt to secure the enactment of an ordi-
nance upon the subject by the common coun-
cil
