So the Assessment for Sprinkling
Chestnut Street Is Abated.

The board Of public works after
granting a hearing in the matter, de-
cided yesterday to abate the assess
ment levied for sprinkling Chestnut
street, from Seventh street to the river,
during the season of 1896. The board
was satisfied from the testimony sub
mitted that the portion of the street
mentioned had not been sprinkled dur
ing the season.
The principal DIRECTORS to the as
sessment were Aid. Bigelow and w. H.
Seng. Aid. Bigelow testified that he
had never seen any signs or evidence
that the street had been Sprinkled DUR
ing the entire season. Mr.. Seng de-
tected a sprinkling cart on the street
on July IS, and once in a while the
street was sprinkled for half a block
below Seventh street, but no further
down. Some sprinkling, Mr.. Seng said,
was done in the fall.
On the other hand, L. A. Gates, the
driver in the Chestnut street sprink
ling district, testified that he had
sprinkled that street from Seventh
street to the levee from July to Sept.
20, three times a day. Inspector WILL
lam J. Keigher corroborated the driv-
er's statement that the street was
sprinkled three times a day.
Mr.. ForreStal, the sprinkling contrac-
tor, said that as matter of fact, none
of the people on lower Chestnut street
wanted the street sprinkled, as the
street was in such horrible shape that
sprinkling did no good.

houses were in delapidated condition

cured the assessors valuation made ar
the time the loans were originally made
on the property, also the present wall

found to be very much lower than the
valuation of few years ago. All the
property owned by the bank was oh

their conclusions as to value, ayerae

WANT A NEW TRIAL.
Arguments Made in the Rush DAM
age Shit.


A motion for a new trial argued
before Judge Kelly yesterday is based
upon the alleged misconduct Of two
members Of the jury. The case was
that of Ellen Rush, who sued the ST.
Paul City Railway company for in
juries inflicted on her boy, Philip. by
an interurban car. Philip Is the little
boy who was run down by a bicyclist
on University avenue one day last
summer and knocked senseless. The
b1cycllst sped on, leaving the uncon-
scious little fellow laying across the
street car tracks. An interurban car
close at hand struck the boy, cutting
a hole in his skull and otherwise in
Jur1ng him. He recovered however,
and his mother brought suit for dam
ages.
The petit jury rendered a verdict for
the street railway company holding
that the car was so close upon the bow
when the bicycle struck him down, that
1t was impossible for the motorman
to stop the car. The alleged irregular
1ty upon which new trial is demand
Ell was committed by the foreman of
the jury, J. Adam Bede, and Max
Huberman, another juror, who, during
the progress of the trial, visited the
spot where the accident occurred and
made diagrams of it.
Counsel for the street railway COM
pany cOntended that this could make
no difference with the verdict, as the
only question at issue was the distance
OF the car from the boy at the time
the mOtorman saw the bicycle knock
the boy down.
Judge Kelly reserved his decision.

State Poultry association, which begins to-
morrow on Seventh street, near Robert

DRANK SUGAR OF LEAD.
Mrs. I'll. E. Fletcher Very Narrowly
Escapes Death

Mrs. H. E. Fletcher, a coIored woman Hv.
ing with her husband at No. 249 East Seventh
street, attempted to kill herself shortly after
o'clock last evening, by swallowing an ounce
and half of sugar OF lead. The woman
drank the poison in the presence of her g.ls-
and only by hard work on the part of the
physician was her life saved At first Mrs.
Fletcher refused to accept the services OF
DR.. Dohm, and declared that she wanted to
die. 1t was necessary to use force in admin
istering injections to counteract the effects Of
the poison and in half an hour the woman
was pronounced out Of danger. The cause Of
Mrs. Fletcher's act is said to have been a
quarrel with her husband After being re-
suscitated the woman claimed that she had
taken the lead by mistake. thinking 1t was

of using.

CURE FOR PILES.
No Surgical Operation, No Pain,

Trifing Expense-A Simple, Harm
less Remedy, but 1t Does the
Work.
There are some people who have piles
as frequently and as regularly as 9TH
er people have colds.
Any little bowel trouble will bring
them on, any extra exertion, as in lift
ing, will produce Them and, in fact
will often appear without any apparent
provocat1on. Piles, however, are much
more serious than a cold, as the tenden-
cy is always to grow worse until the
trouble becomes deep seated and chron-
1c, or developes into some fatal rectal
disease
While there are many pile remedies
which give relief, yet there is but one
which not only gives instant relief but
at the same time makes, a permanent
cure, and that is the well known Pyra-
mid Pile Cure
This remedy Is composed of simple,
harmless, vegetable ingredients, but
combined SO effectively and act so
promptly and thoroughly that it cures
every form Of piles, whether itching,
blind, bleeding or protruding.
In long standing cases the Pyramid
Pile Cure has proven to be the only
certain cure except a surgical opera
t1on, and its advantages over an opera
ton are many, as 1t Is painless. causes
no delay, or interference with daily oc-
cupation, and last, but not least it Is
cheaper than any surgical operation
could possibly be, costing but dollar
a package at any drug store.
The cases that the Pyramid Pile
Cure will not reach are so few that
physicians are doing away with opera
tons for piles, and depending on this
cheap but effective remedy to accomp
l1sh complete cure, and 1t never dis
appoints except in cases beyond the
reach of medical skill.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is prepared
by the Pyramid Drug Co., Of Albion,
Mich, and for sale by druggists every
where at so cents per package. Each
package contains a treatise on cause
and cure Of piles, together with testi-
monfals from every section of this
country.

TO RAISE TIME LIMIT.
Another Bill Prepared i'm Which St.
Paul Is Interested.

Assistant Corporation Attorney
Phillips was engaged yesterday In
drafting a bill, which the city officials
and common council believe would
prove most advantageous to ST. Paul,
should it become a law. The bill, in
substance, empowers all cities in the
state possessing over $4,000 inhabitants
to enter into contracts for city lighting
and for the collection of garbage, for
a period Of five years. Under the Bell
charter, st. Paul is restricted in the
making of such contracts to the brief
term of one year. 1t is believed that
this restriction works a great disad-
vantage to the city, as it stands in the
way of securing the terms and condi-
lions that the lighting and garbage
contractors would readily accede to, if
their contracts were to last for five
years The bill will be submitted to
the legislature in the course Of few

at her house and one of them hit her on The

the loans were made was about equal
to the amount of the loans.
With reference to the charter, the
committee have spent a good deal Of
time investigating its condition and
value, and, while they have not COM
pleted their investigation, they are OF
the opinion that 1t is a very valuable
asset. and that every legitimate effort
should be made to preserve it for the
depositors. To dispel a. misapprehen-
sion prevalent among some depositors,
the committe found that the charter
could not be sold, or hypothecated
legally by bill of sale, deed or mort
gage The committee expects to COM
rlete it's labors next week, when a
general meeting of the depositors will
be called by Chairman Lambert to act
on it's report.

Now nice question arises From what
fund was the money taken by which these
bllls were paid? Some folks say the secre-
tary of state, through his expert printer has
been drawing on fund of $40, 900 that was to
be available Aug l to pay for printing con-
tracts let in June, but the G o b has no
proof of that at hand. At any rate 1t is
reported that printers who secured contracts
then have not yet received any money; and
1t is asserted that this would not be the
case II the $4,000 fund were not exhausted.
Inc 1und available Aug. l was for general
state printing, while nearly all of the items
IN the above bills are for census bureau
blanks and supplies.
ihen there is another question: Smith &
Harrison are the state printers on contract
with large per cent off gross amount A
member of the firm has admitted that they

ne SAID, they were perfectly satisfied. It
Is not an unfair supposition then that the
contract rates have been practically suspend
eu, lot the time being, and the printers are
charging emergency prices. Well posted men
say such state of affairs could not have
existed under the administration of David

this proves successful he will in
crease the acreage next year. In
addition to this there are small
patches all over the county, most
of which give promise of d very
