NEW TO-DAY.
The SICK
ARE CURED,
The Depression Caused by
Disease Is DiSpeIIed.

DISEASES, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF
IL chronic nature, cannot be cured ex-
cept by a treatment that strikes directly
at the root OF the trouble. The new, origi-
nal and marvellous method of treating dis
eases that is pursued at the State Electro
Medical Institute is one that never fails.
The salutary effects of the treatment on
any disease are at once perceived and a
speedy and permanent cure is invariably
N ade III every case.
The treatment is medical and electrical
combined. The peculiar method of ad-
ministering these two great curative rene
dies is new, original, scientific discovery
OF the Institute. 1t is used exclusively by
them and the most amazing results are
accomp lished in the treatment aud cure of
all diseases.
The Institute is spIendidly equipped
with every device known to the scientific
world for administering medical electric
ity, including large Static, Faradic and
Galvanic batteries, Electric Belts, Body
Batteries and great variety OF other
electric appliances that are manufactured
and used exclusively by the Institute In
their Electro Medical treatment. BY
means of these electric batteries and ap-
pliances, yitalizing, life-giving electric
currents are used to aid in sending the
Institute medicines directly to the dis
eased organs and diseased parts OF the
body.
: The medicines prescribed at the Insti-
tute are perfect laboratory triumphs, for
mulated from q true appreciation of the
medicinal wants of the body; and when
these medicines are aided in their recu-
perating and healing work by electricity
scientifically applied, every symptom of
disease is rapidly disrelled, the patient
soon regains perfect health and strength,
while the depression caused by disease is
displaced by the happiness and pleasure
that is the natural heritage of those twin
blessings, "a sound mind in a sound
body"
II you are sick or ailing, if you want to
know what Is the matter with you, and if
you want to be cured, you should resort

JOBACCO TkUST IN COURT
The Suit for Injunction NotU Being Ar
0ued in CIic10o

The Suit for Injunction Noac Being Ar
gued in Chicago.
CHICAGO ILL, Jan. 8.-The suit
brought by Attorney General Maurice T..
Moloney, on behalf OF the people of Hi
nois, against the American Tobacco Com
pany, also called the cigarette trust, ask
ing for perpetual Injunction against the
company to restrain it from doing BUSH
ness in Illinois, came up before Judge
Gibbons this morning. The Attorney
General filed an exhaustive information
in chancery against the company, alleg-
ing that it existed and did business in vio-
lation of the antitrust law of the State.
The company filed demurrer to the
information, and oral arguments on this
demurrer comprised the proceedings be-
fore Judge Gibbons all day.
The Attorney-General conducted the
case for the people, and the com pany was
represented by w. w. Fuller of New York
city, general counsel, and Hon. Charles II.
Aldrich, ex- Solicitor General of the United
States, local couns ell. Mr.. Aldricb opened
the case with arguments in support of the
demurrer His brief set forth at length
the allegations made against the company
In the Attorney-GeneraPs bill.
1t states that the company was organ
lied in 1889 and 1890 by Allen & Ginter of
Richmond W. S. Kimball & Co. of New
York. w. Duke & Sons of North Carolina,
the Kinney Tobacco Company of North
Carolina, and Goodwin & Co. of New
York. The alleged trust had a capital
stock of $25,000,0 600 when organized. which
was afterward increased to $50, 600, 600.
The concern was attacked on the ground
that it was formed for the purpose of es.
tablshing monopoly in restraint of trade
and TO control the manufacture in this
country OF cigarettes made of paper.
The Attorney General, in reply, con-
tended that the act of 1893 did not even
attempt to repeal the antitrust law OF
1891. The former act was only supple
mentarv and 1t was not void in emitting
to declare trusts and com binations illegal
and prohibit them, because specific penal
ties, imposed under the act of 1891, con-
tanned all that was omitted in that OF 1893.
He commended that the law, derived from
English Jurisprudence, gave him the
right, as the pubic law officer of the State,
to come into court and ask for redress OF
these wrongs. 1t was his duty to protect
the people when the law was being vIo-
lated without waiting until "rogues fell
out and honest men might come by their
own dues" Arguments will be resumed
to- morrow.

EUREKA, CAL, Jan. 8.-Last July the
large grocery firm of A. G. Dauphiny &
Co. of this city made what they considered
a shrewd bar ain in horsehesh by pur-
chasing pair of half-starved horses for $50
from Henry Strong, who drove them up

animals were soon restored to condition,
but now, just when the horses are Begin
ming to prove their good qualities in the
firms delivery wagons, third party steps
in and claims them. This one Crowley
of Alameda, who in letter to the firm
claims that the horses were stolen from
him and demands their return. So far,
however, Crowley has failed TO establish
the fact of theft or his right to the horses.
Strong who is still here. is said to belong
to a wealthy family in Oakland, and it is
believed that while there may be differ
erence In money matters between him and
Crowley. there has been nothing criminal
in the transaction.

Fly Paper Catches a Rat.

A well-known Pittsburg (Kan.) gro
Gerry man has been in the habit of plac-
ing several sheets of the familiar tan
glefoot paper on his counters at night
to entice the flies. When he opened
his store the other morning he found
couple of the sheets of tanglefoot
paper partially rolled up on the floor
and tangled up with them was good
sized rat, that was endeayoring to get
away, but made a miserable failure of
it. 1t had evidently got it's feet fast
in the paper in such a manner as to
prevent its running, and then in lying
down to free itself gave the sickness
a good grip upon its hairy coat.

FAVORS YOUNG LOVERS.
Wisconsin Law Permits Minors to
Wed Without Parents Consent.
Discovery Made That No Disagree
able Restrictions Are Put Upon
Those Who Reside Outside
of the State.

Milwaukee has been placed in posses
sion of an additional inducement topper
sons from other states contemplating
matrimonial alliances to come to this
place to have the marriage ceremony
performed.
The discovery has been made that
there is no barrier interposed by the
Wisconsin statutes against the mar
riage of minors whose parents reside
outside of the state, providing that the
groom'is IS years of age and the bride
Is years, so that the door is open to
Chicago couples of tender years who
wish to enter the marriage reIati ton.
The discovery was made by Justice of
the Peace Clarke, but while Mr.. Clarke
is an attorney, it appears that the min
listers, or at least some of them, have
been aware of the defect in the laws for
some time.
Justice Clarke refused the other day
to marry couple where the groom was
is years old, while the bride was two
years his senior. The justice explained
that he could not perform the cere-
mony, as he was required to make
affidavit that there was no legal i'm
pediment to the marriage. The couple
went away after securing the address
OF a well-known clergyman, and before
the whaleback steamed out of the river
the ceremony had been performed and
they were back on board, husband and
wife. q
The statute bearing upon the mar
rage Of minor states that the consent
of the parents must be obtained in
writing when the male is under the age
,of21 years and the female under the age
of is years, but the section also goes
further, stating that "the consent in
person or in writing of the parent or
guardian having the custody of such
minor, if she or he have either a parent
or guardian living in this state" is re-
quired. The statute is silent as TO
minors whose parents reside out of the
state. Justice Clarke said that the mat
ter was great surprise to him.

The snake quickly coiled, and with a
terrible spring buriedits fangs through

tongue at the boy, striking him in the

Five-year-old Lillian Ross, of 40 Beach

live to tell of a remarkable and rather
unusual surgical operation which was
performed on her tiny neck the other
day by DR.. Percy Bolton, the eminent
surgeon, who is a member of the board

play she fell and dislocated her neck.
She was put under the influence of
ether, and DIR. Bolton, with the as
sistance of the hospital staff, began the
delicate task of forcing the bones back
into their proper places.
The method of treatment in these
cases." said the doctor, is similar to
that employed in dislocations of the arm.
legs, or any other sections of the body.
We manipulate the bones until we grad
ually get them back in their normal
places. Any serious injury to the cerv-
zeal vertebrae usually results in death
In this case, however, by an application
of the means employed in ordinary dis
locations we may succeed in avertina
