A HOME REMEDY
For the Cure of Colds and
La Grippe.

La grippe and influenza, cold in the
head or on the lungs, are not only dis
tressing maladies. but are very danger
GUS as well. Cold on the chest is an in
t1amatiOn affecting the air passages and
vessels leading into and through every
portion of the lungs. The Inflammation
may be so violent as to cause death in a
short timE if not quickly reduced, or it
may linger and drag as a bad cold of
more or less severity. What is true of a
cold is equally true of la grippe. Even a
mild condition is liable to turn quickly
into acute pneumonia or what is worse
galloping consumption. The breathing
tubes become so sensitive that the least
exposure. the slightest draught, change
of clothing, or of the weather, is sutfi-
cient to cause fresh cold, terrible cough
pain and fever. Cough is the foremost
loose and broken with much eXpectOra-
ton. 1t is always annoying, keeping up
a constant irritation and eXcitment in
the sore and inllamed tubes There is
pain and tenderness under the breast-bOne
sometimes of a raw and tearing nature.
Hoarseness, huSkiness, whispering, or
loss of voice, chilly sensations, sore
head. AS the disease advances there are
night sweats, hectic fever, loss of flesh,
splitting of blood or hemOrrhage, and the
patient has the appearance and symptoms
of consumption. The old way of treating
a cold is too well known to need any
explanation here: the new way-the bet
ter way-is with Lightning Hot Drops.
This remedy is especially valuable in
colds, la grippe, influenza, coughs,
hOarseneSs, etc. Indeed, for la grippe
and influenza it may truly be said to be a
specific, while for breaking a cold or re-
lieving hoarseness it is without an equal.

Sweet Home.

Of course l am not speaking of rep
resentative women-of Eve, who ruined
the race by one fruit picking; of Jael,
who drove a spike through the head of
Sisera, the warrior; of Esther, who
overcame royalty; of Abigail, who stop
ped host by her own beautiful Prov
ess; of Mary, who nursed the world s
Saviour; of Grandmother Lois, immor-
talized in her grandson Timothy; of
Charlotte Corday, who drove the dag
ger through the heart of the assassin of
her lover, or of Marie Antoinette, who
by one look from the balcony of her
castle quieted a mob, her own scaffold
the throne of forgiveness and womanly
courage. l speak not of these extraor-
binary persons, but of those who, IMAM
bilious for political power, as wives
and mothers and sisters and daughters,
attend to the thousand sweet offices of
home.
When at last we come to calculate
the forces that decided the destiny of
nations, it will be found that the
mightiest and grandest influence came
from home, where the wife cheered ND
dependency and fatigue and sorrow by
her own sympathy, and the mother
trained her child for heaven. starting

BRANCH ON THE HILh
POSTMASTER SMITH WANTS TO
GET BETTER MAIL SERVICE
UP THERE.
FIRST FOUR NEW CARRIERS
ARE OFFICIALLY AUTHORIZED AND
WILL BEGIN WORK IN TWO
WEEKS.
WHILE THE REST OF THE TEN
Are Slated to Take Their Routes
Nov. federal Building Is
Very Crowded.
WHILE THE REST OF THE TEN

Postmaster Smith received official
notification from the department at
Washington yesterday that ten more
carriers had been given to the mall
service of st. Paul Four of the adj
ditional force will be brought into SER
vice on the first of October, and the
other six men will begin their duties
Nov. 1. The postmaster had asked for
thirteen more carriers, but the Of
ficials at Washington saw fit to cut
that number down by three. The in
creased force will bring the total num-
Der of mail carriers in st. Paul up to
no.
The work OF redistricting the city
and making other preliminary ar
rangements for the additional carriers
is now in progress at the postoff1ce.
There is no room for the men at the
federal building, the condition there
now being overcrowded, so Postmaster
Smith is figuring on establishing an
other substation for carriers which
Anthony hill Consent to make this
extension must come from Washing
ton, but Mr.. Smith does not anticipate
any opposition from that source. The
officials there are cognizant of the lack
of facilities here, and Mr.. Smith. feels
certain that when the order increas-
ing the carrier force was made the de-
partment officials had in mind plan
Of relief from overcrowded conditions
at the postoffice.
In the city there are six substations,
only two of which are utilized as car
rier centers. One of the latter is ON
the West side at the corner of Isabel
street and South Wabasha. The other
is at the corner of Prior avenue and
Waltham. The former accommodates
seven carriers and the latter is the
meeting place for eight men. The pro-
posed new station on ST. Anthony hill
will be headquarters for about eight
carriers. Several months may elapse
before the improvements in the SER
vice are all completed and in force.
When they finally do come, however,
Postmaster Smith thinks that the ef-
ficiency of the service will be general
ly improved not only in one section,
but in every part of the city.

property in YOUR own name?" was Mr..

property in your own name?" was Mr..
Squires' next question
Because the property was encum-
bered by mortgages and not in such
shape that a corporation could take
hold of it. I took all the chances,
therefore, myself, to get the property
under our control"
Mr. Squires here turned his witness
over to Mr.. Kellogg. In response to
the latter's questions, Mr.. Shufeldt
testified that the Minnesota company
could have killed all the hogs and sold
the meat as quickly as the Dakota
company, and that the Dakota COM
pany sold the product which could be
sold the quickest to it's general Gus
toners, and that all of the other pro-
duct it sold to the Minnesota company.
The English market generally, Mr..
Shufeldt said, was much better on the
higher grades of hams. The Dakota
company, he added, was of use to the
Minnesota company only to keep in
touch with the market" The Dakota
company had no established trade.
Mr. Kellogg asked if 1T was not a
| fact that on all the 100000 pounds
of hams sold by the Dakota company
| to the Minnesota company, that the
Minnesota company paid the Dakota
| company much more than was called
| for on the bills
Mr. Shufeldt said he could not an
swer without referring to the books,
but he thought not.
Continuing, Mr.. Shufeldt explained
that the balances between the two com
| panies often f1uctuated. The bills
were paid on a basis of the average of
| thirty days Chicago prices, rather than
| on the total of the bills rendered, and
| thus one company would frequently
have a credit, when the actual bills
rendered might show debit. Mr.. KEEL
| logg went over the credits and debts
| between the two companies, month by
| month, to demonstrate that the Da-
kota company in which Mr.. Shufeldt
| was personally interested, generally
came out ahead on every deal. The
records indicated that the Dakota COM
pany received SIT more than the act
| ual bills called for.
Questioned concerning his original re-
port of Indebtedness made to the old
Anglo-American Provision company,
| Mr.. Shufeldt admitted that when he
| prepared the report, he took all items
| of Indebtedness arising prior to 1892,
when he came to st. Paul, from the
books, and therefore had no actual
knowledge as to the accuracy of the
items.
Asked if the bulk of Robert Fowler's
| stock was entered on the books as an
! Indebtedness to him, drawing per
cent interest, when, as matter of fact,
Fowler had never paid for the stock,
and owed the company for it? Mr..
Shufeldt admitted there was doubt at
the time, and said it was assumed that
| the stock was held as an Indebtedness
| to Fowler. and had been so treated
since. Mr.. Kellogg tried to show that
! Fowler had never paid for his $247. 900
worth of stock, offering a contract, but
| it was ruled out.
| Mr.. Shufeldt testified that the COM
| pany had lost $4,000 in one year in
| 1855 The total losses of the Minnesota
company up to the time the Dakota
commenced business was about $4,000,
and the loss during the time the Da-
kota company was doing business was
$21S, 900.
Court adjourned until 10 a. m. Mon
| day.

REFUSAL OF CREDIT
is NOT A CAUSE TO JUSTIFY A
SUIT FOR DAM
AGES,
NO MATTER HOW PROVOKED.
so JUDGE OTIS RULES IN THE GEL
ERRATED sEFRUIT BLACK
LIST' CASE.
PRACTICALLY OUT OF THE COURT.
Decision Really Leaves the Paint
ifs in the Contest Without
Any Standing There.

Judge Otis practically threw the
| libel suit of Becka Bros, against the
st. Paul Fruit & Provision Dealers
| association out of the district court
yesterday in an adverse ruling on
motion made by plaintiffs for more
specific statement in defendant associa-
| TONS answer to the complaint. The or
ganization is not incorporated, but near
| ly every commission merchant on Third
street is q member of it, the object OF
the association being to protect mutual
| interests against possible loss in hand
| ling fruit and perishable produce. The
association is governed by rigid rule,
| which compels all customers to settle
accounts promptly at the end of each
week. No distinction is made in the
| enforcement of this rule On Friday
of each week the association publishes
a blacklist" setting out the names of
parties who have failed to pay their
weekly accounts. The association calls
I this a delinquent list" and no person
whose name appears on this list can
have credit until the claim against
him which causes his name to be pub
lished is settled. Through mistake, it
! is alleged, Bucka Bros. failed to settle
a small account with member of the
association and their firm appeared on
the delinquent list. Then they carried
the matter into court and asked for
81 900 damages for alleged injury to
credit against the association. The
latter made answer to the complaint,
but failed to give the name of the
merchant or firm that had reported
plaintiffs alleged delinquency to the
association. Then the plaintiffs asked
the court to make an order requiring
the association to state who the re-
sponsible party or parties were.
After summing up the points in
volved in the question, Judge Otis held
| that no man or corporation could be
mulcted in damages for refusing to
extend credit to plaintiff firm, no mat
ter what motive prompted such re-
fusal, or whether it was founded upon
false or true statements of their
financial status. Had plaintiffs brought
| their action not against the aSsocia-
ton as a whole-that is against all
members of the organization, as they
had dOne-but had singled out the per-
son or persons alleged to be guilty of
circulating defamatory reports among
members, and brought the action
against them, it undoubtedly would
have stood, but the action would not
lie in its present form. The court
said that in PLAINTIFFS motion nc
cause of action was stated. Judge
Otis based his ruling on sim
liar decision which has been made by
the supreme court in the case of the
Bohn Manufacturing Company against
Hollis, in which plaintiff company

Whereas, At the dictation of corporate
greed in the persons of the Inscriptions coal
barons of the country, judges of United
States courts have again resorted to the in
famous government by injunction" out
rage, and as result of It's application twen-
ty-one OF the working men of the state OF

and forty others seriously wounded; and,
Whereas, The murdered men, by the con-

were on the public highway, unarmed and
defenseless; and,
Whereas, 1t is the first time in the his

America.
Second That we call for the immediate
trial and punishment of those directly re-
sponsble for the murder Of the miners at
Hazleton, Pa.
Third, We believe the action of Sheriff Mar

| treason against the government, and the
crime of which they are already adjudged
guilty by the press and people of the eoun

United States.
| Fourth, We call upon the clergy of all de-

highways, which up to recent date had a.,
ways been free to. each and every citizen OF
the United States.
Fifth, We deeply sympathize with the wild

a sustenance through the assassination of

against condition which, if continued, will
bring disgrace and disaster upon the greatest

DIVISION OF A TRUST FUND
EntangIes the Kittson Heirs I'm An
other Big Suit


In order to settle controversy
which has arisen regarding the dis
tribution of the estate of the late
Norman w. Kittson, the ST. Paul
Trust company, as trustees, filed COM
plant yesterday in the district court
against William Kittson, one of the
heirs. Other plaintiffs in the action
are Annie and Louis Kittson. They
are relatives of the defendant, and all
three are grandchildren of the diseased
and heirs in equal shares in the es-
tate.
The complaint alleges that, under
the 10th section of the will of Mr..
Kittson, the testator bequeathed to
plaintiff company as trustees for the
three grandchildren $4,000; that plant
if company invested said money un-
der the provisions of the will. On July
Is, 1897, William Kittson of Winnipeg,
Man., the defendant, became of age
and was entitled to an accounting.
Immediately after defendants maturi-
ty, the trustee alleges that it rendered
to him an account of the trust fund
and demanded a settlement on the
basis of the account for a third share
in the estate, which defendant refused
to make. The trustee, therefore, asks
the court to order an accounting that
a settlement could be arrived at.
Accompanying its complaint, plaintiff
company files a statement of the coll
dition of the trust fund. This account
ing shows that the company, as trus-
tee for the grandchildren, invested the
$4,000 in a mortgage given by Rufus
J. Reid and Abbie F. Reid in 1891 COW
ering property in Woodland park adj
dition to st. Paul. By reason Of q

gage it was foreclosed, and the trus-
tee bought the property in for $33, 1850.

RIVAL PORK CENrERs.
Their Merits Discussed at Length in
Court,

Court
the witness stand yesterday in the
trial of the Minnesota Packing & Pro-
vision company. His counsel, Mr.
SQuires, reSuming the examination
asked how it happened that the New
Brighton company began business
with only $4,000 capital stock, but
often bought hogs largely in excess of
that sum.
Mr.. Shufeldt explained that 1t was
because the capital was realized on
so promptly, often within a few days
after the slaughter of the hogs. The
hams required the longest period to
realize on. 1t was by the quick and
constant realization on the capital that
the business could be conducted. There
was little or no rent to pay. The pay
roll was due semi-monthly. The Min
nesota company was not able to do
this as it had no such capital, and
was obliged to dispose of it's product
and then pay the indebtedness.
Questioned concerning the charge
that some of the paraphernalia belong
ing to the English company at South
st. Paul was shipped to New Brigh-
ton, 'surreptitiously," Mr.. Shufeldt
answered that the material which con-
sisted of salt, supplies and utensils
IOT uldhlIlS 1dIQJ were D6-
cause they were needed at New Brigh-
ton, and were not needed at South ST.
Paul. The material was hauled by the
company's cars and one load by team
The value of the stuff was at the time
estimated at $1,000.
Mr.. Squires asked Mr.. Shufeldt if at
the time he Endorsed the paper of the
company and gave it the benefit of his
collateral, receiving as his reward the
difference between per cent and the
rate of interest the banks charged, he
could have used the collateral to bet
ter advantage.
Mr. Kellogg objected, but the court
allowed the question and Mr.. Shufeldt
answered that he certainly could have
used his collateral to better advantage
as the money was worth more in the
banks.

ABOUT 10000 PUPILS
Are in Attendance at St. Paul
Schools This Week.


Approximate figures show the atten-
dance at the city schools this week to
be 1882, a total which, it is expected,
will continue to increase until the close
of the month.
1t has been found necessary to abolish
the A class, eighth grade, in the graded
schools, on account of the recent de-
cision of the board, abolishing promo
lions in the middle of the school year.
In order that such pupils as are
prepared to do the work in the high
school may be advanced now, and
avoid being retarded, a special eX-
animation for admission to the high
schools will be held at the Central
building Monday. Only those pupils Of
the A. eighth grade, who, in the judg
ment of the principals and teachers,
are qualified to do the work of the
high school, will be eligible for the ex-
animation. These will also be required
to send in a record of their standing
for the last half year in the graded
schools.
The schools report the following at
