Three VOtes=-=F. G. Heinze's Water
Bill Brings on Discussion on Meter
Rates.

All of the aldermen present at
the meeting of the council Saturday
night, and Vice President Peterson
presided over the greater part Of the
session. The council rather uneX-
pectedly took up the election of a
park commissioner and city hall
janitor. There were plenty of candi-
dates. Mr.. Blake was reelected park
superintendent, and Abraham Lieb
was elected to succeed S. S. Smith as
city hall janitor.

Water Meters.

f. G.. Heinze appeared before the
council and said that he had bill for
water rent for seven months S95 81,
incurred after he had meter plac-
ed in his restaurant. His bill before
the meter was put in would have been
$40 for six months. The July bill
was over S35, or more than he former
" paid for the entire year. He said
that all:should be required to put in
meters, or none should. 1t was unfair
that few persons should be singled
out for meters. He could not stand
the pressure, while his competitors
were paying only $l2 to S14 year. He
desired that the meter be removed or
his bill reduced. The proper way to
charge all people is with meters, if
they are correct, said he.
President Burgess said that there
is injustice in having meters in some
places and not in others in the same
business. The meter rates fixed by
the council had been charged to Mr..
HeinZe. If the meter is out of order
it will always under register, not over
register. St Peter has $50 meters, all
consumers having them. Mankato is
the only city of it's size in the county
that is selling water without meters.
All authorities on this subject favor
meters. In 1896, the per capita use
of water in this city was 200 gallons
to each consumer in the water dis
trict ard 95 gallons tO:each individual
in the district. The average in cities
is Is gallons per capita.
Aid. Zimmerman said that he had
predicted and expected complaints,
and moved that the matter be re-
ferred to the water works committee
to investigate thoroughly and report
at the next meeting. This was car
ried.

matter. Perhaps sometimes it may be.
The most horrible dreams are, however,
due to affections of the nerves. Irritated,
tired, worn out nerves are one of the chief
causes of indigestion. More than that,
they are a continual strain and drain on
the brain. They are sapping the vitality
of the brain every instant in the day. BY
the time night comes, the brain is too
tired to rest. It is an unnatural condition
of fatigue. The little worries and irrita.
tions of the day find repetition at night in
he fonn of dirty muddy water, filled with
Shiny, crawling things from which tho
most frantic efforts give no relief until the
sufferer finds himself wide awake, sitting
up in his bed, with sleep banishcd foi
that night. That is nervousness, perhap.
caused by, or causing, indigestion, and
producing insomnia : sleeplessness. II
doesn't take a man long to wear out with
that sort of work. The day after night
full of horrible dreams is not likely to be
a good day for business. mans work
fof that day is not likely to be very valu
lble--nor the woman's either.
There is a cure for bad dreams, sleep
lessuess, indigestion, brain fatigue and
lebility. Its name" The Golden Med
,cal Discovery" called so because its dis
overer knew that it was more valuable to
the world than the discovery of gold in
California, or Australia, or Africa. II
,iakes what is far more precious than the
fnest gold-good health. 1t purifes the
Hood, strengthens the nerves, aids diges-
ton, invigorates the action of every organ
in the BODY, and produces firm, solid,
lealthy flesh. 1t will fill out the cheek
follows of bloodless, pale women and
nerveless, lifeless men. 1t is sold by drug
gists, and there is nothing "just as good. !"

FURNELL NOT FREE.
Judge Otis Denies Him His Coveted
Divorce.

Judge Otis refused yesterday to
grant Benjamin r. Furnell a decree OF
divorce from Mary M. Furnell. The
couple were married in st. Paul in
November, 1891, and have two children.
Mr. Furnell took the stand and sWore
that his wife had treated him cruelty
that she had thrown dishes at him,
and that she had struck him with q
chair and also with a whip, and that
she finally deserted him.
The testimony Of the defendant and
her witnesses put an entirely different
aspect upon the case. The defendant
admitted that she once threw small
sauce dish at her husband, because he
called her vile name, but she denied
the other allegations of cruelty. On
the other hand, she charged the de-
PENDANT with cruel treatment. She de-
MED that she had deserted him, but
set up in her answer a written agree
ment between her and her husband
to live separately, she to have the GUS
tody of the children and he to pay her
$50 month for a period of nine years
This agreement bears date Aug. l, 1895
Mrs Furnell also testified that her
husband had once asked her to begin
divorce proceedings against him, but
that she had refused to do so.
Judge Otis ordered findings for the
defendant. Mr.. Furnell is thirty-two
years of age and Mrs. Furnell. thirty

Of the jurors had no effect upon their
verdict, the verdict is set aside, and a
new trial ordered.
There were two questions at Issue
in the trial; one the distance Of the car
from the boy when he fell, and second,
the speed Of the CAR 1t was to de-
termine these matters for themselves
that Bede and Haberman visited the
scene. Both made affidavit that they
did not know they were doing wrong,
The court holds that this was mis-
conduct sufficient to warrant the set
ting aside Of the verdict, inasmuch as
they were seeking evidence Of which
the opposing side knew nothing and
consequently could have no opportuni-
ty of rebutting. The court makes a
clear distinction between jurors visit
to the site of an accident for the pur-
pose of obtaining evidence and a case
where a juror may have become ia
nlilfar with the site from having passed
1t before or during the trial in the
course Of his regular travels. In the
latter case it would not be sufficient
to set aside the verdict. -
The syllabus of the decision is as fol-
lows.

Fest-Where the gist of an action on trial
is the condition of the locus in quo or where
view of it will enable the jurors to
better determine the credibility of the wit
nesses or any other disputed fact, If in such
q case jurors without the permission of the
court or knowledge of the parties examine
the locality for the express purpose of ac-
aside unless it is clear that such misconduct
could not have affected their verdict.
Ihls rule must be given a reasonable opera
tion ana not applied where there is only a
possibility that the result was Influenced by
the alleged misconduct.
Second-Held, applying this rule, that new
action of two of the jurors in making out
OF court independent and unauthorized ex-
amlnations of the locus in quo
Thtrd-The affidavit of the juror is not
competent as to matters occurring in the
jury room to tmpeach the verdict, but 1t is
admissible for such purpose as to matters
occurring outside OF the jury room during
Uhe progress OF the trial. Order reversed.
