South ST. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 23, 1897.
The Saint Paul Union StockyardS Com
pany has to announce that one of the
packers of pork who has been located at
South st. Paul for several years past,
is about to remove to New Brighton.
There is little of Importance in this re-
mOval, but there has been vast amount
of eXaggeratiOn and Misrepresentation
set af1Oat by interested parties, in an
nOuncing the removal to the public
which | deem it my duty to correct.
In the first place, the removing packer
has no interest here, except that of a
renter, and while he has occupied one
of our slaughter houses for some time
past, he has not killed hog in said
house during the past seven or eight
months. / mention this fact to show
that his removal will not affect our mar
ket, and that he is but a small factor
in making the prices for live stock. I
do not consider this removal an evil, as
it will place us in a position, very shortly,
to supply his place with parties who will
do business, and who will have sufficient
capital to do it on a scale in keeping
with the extensive facilities that our
company has provided, and which the
present vacator has utterly failed for
the better part of the year past to utilize.
The removing packer, during the past
eight months, has bought less than four
per cent of the cattle, less than two per
cent of the sheep, and about six per cent
of the hogs that have been sold and
received at this place; SO it becomes at
once plain that his removal is an unim-
portant event, and when it is understood
that his place will be filled by stronger
and better people within a brief time,
it becomes self-evident that it will be
blessing.

Al
(Piper Methysticuna.l used for centuries
bv the natives before its extraordinary
properties became known to civilization
through Christian missionaries. In
this respect it resembles the discovery
of ouinine from the peruvian bark,
made known by the Indians to the early
Jesuit missionaries in South America,
and bv them brought to civilized man.
1t is a wonderful discovery, with rec
ord of 1900 hospital cures in 80 days. 1t
acts directly upon the blood and kid
news, and is true specific, just as qu1-
nine is in malaria. We have the strong
est testimony of many ministers OF the
gospel, we'll known doctors and business
men cured by A1kavis, when all other
remedies had failed.
In the New York Weekly Wo1ld Oh Sept. lOth,
Washington, D. c.. was given, describing his
years Of suffering from Kidney disease and
Rheumatism, and his rapid cure by Alkav! Is
Rev Thomas Smith, the Methodist minister at
Golden, Illinois, passed nearly one hundred
gravel stones after two weeks use OF A!kavls.
Rev John H Watson, of Sun set, Texas, minister
of the gospel of thirty years service was strucS
down at his post of duty by Kidney disease.
After lowering between life and death IoI TWO
months, and all his doctors having failed he
took AIkavis, and was completely restored to
health and strength and is fulfilling his duties as
inent attorney Of Lowell Indiana, was cured OF
Rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder disease of ten
years standing, by A1kavis. Mr.Wood describes
himself as being in constant misery, often com
PEELED to rise ten times during the night on
account of weakness of the bladder: He was
treated by ali his home physicians without the
least benefit and finally completely cured IN
few weeks by A1kavis The testimony IS I'M
doubted and really wonderful. Mrs. James
Young, of Kent, Ohio, writes that She had tried
six doctors in vain that she was about to give
up in despair, when she found Alkavls and was
promptly cured of kidney disease and restored
to health. Many other ladies also testify to the
wonderful curative powers OF Alkav1s IN the
various disorders peculiar to womanhood.
So far the Church Kidney Cure Com
pany, No. 422 Fourth Avenue, New
York, are the only importers of this
new remedy, and they are so anxious to
prove it's value that for the sake of intro
duction they will send free treatment
of A1kavis prepaid by mail to every
reader of this paper who is Sufferer
from any form of Kidney or Bladder
disorder, Bright's Disease, Rheuma-
tism, Dropsy, Gravel, Pain in Back,
Female Complaints, or other affection
due to improper action of the Kidneys
or Urinary Organs. We advise all Suf-
erers to send their names and address
to the company, and receive the A1kavis
free. It is sent to you entirely free, to
prove its wonderful curative powers.

HER FRUlTLESS ERRAND.
a Woman Comes From California in
the Vain Hope of Locating Her
Truant Husband.

Mrs Margaret Pontopptian. a pretty lit
tie English woman, arrived in the city yes
teTday in search OF a runaway husband.
She came from Sacramento, Cal, having
left her two little children in care Of some
friends. She sold out her household effects
to buy ticket to Kansas City, and now
all she has is the assurance Of Chief VAL
Inns that he will try to locate her husband.
Pontoppid&n told his wife he was coming
East to look for work. He got as far as
st. Joseph, Mo, from where he wrote his
wife that she would never see him again.
I'D like to locate him." said the little
woman yesterday at Central station; I'D
show him whether / am never to see him
again or not" and her black eyes flashed
defiance. "All / have left Is a sewing ma
chine, IN 20 back to California and sew
for a living"
Mrs. Pontoppidan Acknowledged that she
had been hasty in starting out TO look for
her husband. She said If she had ii TO do
over again she would resort to the use Of
her pen and ink, and save her money
When get back to California" she said.
TN get divorce, and that will partially
compensate for the trouble he has put me
to. We never had cross word IN our lives,
and ] think he just got tired OF me-"
Mrs. POntoppidan is an active member of
the Y. p. S. g. T.. and a Methodist and
these organizations will assist her IN re-
turning to the West.

Chicago, June 1S.-Charles w. Spaiding.
ex-president of the Globe Savings bank,
and ex-treasurer of the state university,
was to-day acquitted of the charge of en-
bezzlement. The verdict was a general
surprise. as the instructions of the court
to the jury left scarcely any chance for
an acquittal. The first words uttered by
Spalding after the verdict had been read
in court were: ''Weli, this is n surprise"
The specific charge against him was the
converting of $500 worth of the bonds Of
Pittsiield school district, in Pike county.
These bonds were hypothecated with the
Metropolitan National bank of this city
to secure a loan Of $3.50. spalding owes
his acquittal to 4 single word in the stat
ute That word is interest" The jurors
could not become TeConCiled to the prOpo-
sitiOn that the eN-treasurer of the UniVer-
sity Of Illinois Intentionally cmbeZzled the
bonds OF that institution. Six ballots We're
taken by the jury, the first and second be-
ing four for conviction and eight for ac-
quittal Three voted for conviction on the
third ballot, two on the fourth and fifth
and all for aCquittal on the sixth. After
being taken back to Jail, Spalding said: 4
must admit that 1t did surprise me some at
nr-t. After all, the jury took the view OF
it urged by my counsel, and, as the prose-
CutiOn showed no criminal intent, the jury
was bound to dcquit me-

COLLINS FAILS TO RALLY.
Assault Upon the Tennessee HOrseman
at st. Louis May Turn Out
TO BE Murder.

st. Louis. Mo-, June lS.-Charles d. Col
lins, the Tennessee hOrseman who was
hrutally beaten and robbed at Meramee
highlands, is still in a critical condition,
as the result of the fourteen wounds on
his head. He fails to rally from the shock
as DIR. Pittman hoped he would. Prepara-
ticns are being made for Martin Ensley's
defense. His sister, who is the wife of
Surgeon ]. H. z. Hodgson, U. S. N, has
engaged Lee Meriwether late state labor
commissioner, by wire and instructed him
70 spare no expense in the way of hiring
detectives and running down clues
The few intimate friends whom Martin
EEsiey has in ST. Louis do not believe in
his guilt. They say Ensley will plead not
guilty. One Of these friends said: THE
defense believes 1t can be proven that Col
lins did not have s. 900 in his pockets. - He
possibly had that much Tuesday mernins,
but evidence is already coming TO light
that he lost large sum at the fair
grounds that afternoon. Detectives have
been engaged to locate where that ham,
mer was bought and they may throw some
light on the mystery" Ensley is held Jpn

unteered to go on $500 bond for him.

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY SCHEME.
Mr. Debs Outlines the Plan, the Es-
sence of which Seems to he to
Raise Revenue.

Chicago, June 1S.-Only a short session of
the Social Democracy was held to-day, as
the legislative committee, which is framing
the constitution and bylaws, was not ready
to report. Eugene V. Debs tonight gave
the following outline of the plan 10 be pro-
posed tomorrow:
THE unit of the Democracy will be the To-
cal unions, to be limited 10 a membership of
500. The local unions will make up the
state branches and the state organizations
the national council. which will, in turn, Sc
lect national board. This body will have
the real control Of the Democracy. II will
elect officers as follows: Chairman, vice
chairman, secretary, treasurer and organ
izer. Permanent headquarters shall be in
Chicago. Finances for the movement will
be derived from an admission fee and an
annual per capita tax, limited to the cur
rent expenses of the order.
Each local union will be a recruiting
headquarters for colonists. In this way an
organization is to be built up, which is alb
solutely essential for deriving a revenue,
without which no colonization can be car
ried on. There will be a regular commission
appointed to select the state where the
first operations are to be undertaken. The
commission VIII investigate its sources
carefully before any move is made. Then
the colonization will be carried on under a
perfect system"

CRUSHED In AN ELEVATOR.
EDWARD MORGAN, ELEVATOR BOY
FATALLY INJURED.
Tried to Jump on n Moving Car In
the Temple Block and Was
FrightfuIIy Broken and
Bruised.

Edward Morgan, an elevator boy at the
Temple block, met with a painful and per-
haps fatal accident while trying to enter
the south elevator of the building, last
evening while it was in motion. There are
two elevators in the building and IL is Gus
tomary, after the rush OF the day is over,
to use the north elevator alone for traffic.
This permits the engineer or fireman to
go aloft in the south elevator for the pur-
pose of making any repairs to the apparat-
US which may be required. Last evening at
S O'Clock, j. c. Cox, the fireman, started
from the basement in the south elevator.
Morgan had sent It down to him from the
first floor and had left the door at the first
floor open. As the car neared the floor,
Morgan called out to Cox:
Look out; I'm going to get in. Don't
stop it,"
Cox realized the danger of Morgan's feat
and attempted to stop the car. Before he
could do so, however, Morgan had placed
one foot inside the ascending car and
made an effort to follow it with his body.
The elevator was going at such rate that
Morgan lost his balance and reeled back
wards.
Cox tried to stop the elevator, but be-
fore he could do so or before Morgan could
regain his balance and pull himself inside
the car, his head struck against the top
OF the door and he was doubled up be-
tween the car anu uGdNg HlIc SNfetIitlS.
AS the elevator squeezed and rolled Nor
gan into human ball, he screamed loudly
for help, his cries filling the building ana
adjacent streets.
Cox exerted every effort to stop the car,
but his strength seemedStO have left him.
As the elevator finally came to a stop
just below the second floor, Morgans body,
bloody and shapeiess, dropped down and
onto the floor of the basement, fifteen feet
below. The fall brought consciousness to
Morgan and ne called loudly for help,
holding his bleeding head in his hands and
tossing himself about. The police ambn-
lance with Surgeon Hyde was summoned
and Morgan was placed on a stretcher,
carried into the ambulance and taken to
the city hospital. An examination showed
the following injuries: Fracture of the
right thigh, double fracture of the bones
of the left leg below the knee, the bones
prCtruding through the flesh; fracture Of
the lower jaw, slight fracture of the skull
and a dozen cuts and bruises on the body
and face.
Morgan Is IS years old and lives at Gil
West Twenty-sixth street with his parents.
1t was stated last night at the hospital
that recovery seemed beyond the possi-
bilities.

SUICIDE OF BARNEY BARNAT0.
Coroner Returns n Verdict of Death
by Drowning While Tempo
rariIy Insane.

Southampton, June 1s.-On the arrival of
the British steamship, Scott to-day with
the body of the late Barney Barnato, the
coroner's officers went aboard to ascertain
as to the necessity of holding an inquest.
The inquest was held and the jury returned
a verdict of death from drowning while
temporarily insane.
The arrival of the steamship confirms the
details already cabled by the Associated
Press of the circumstances under which
Barney BarnatO met his death. He was
feeling very poorly when the vessel left
Capetown, and often talked quite irratlon-
ally.
The passengers subscribed $500 as a re-
ward for MIR. Clifford, the officer who tried
to rescue him.
Sol Joel, Barnato's nephew, says: My
uncle showed no sign of a suicidal tenden-
cy until that fatal day. / decided at
o'clock in the morning not to leave him
for moment
The Daily Mail asserts that Sir Gordon
Sprigg, premier of Cape Colony, who was
a passenger by the steamship. Scott, says
that when Mr.. Barnato first came into the
saloon for his meals he was quiet and So
Cial but his moods varied to such an eX-
tent that ultimately his nephew, Mr.. Joel,
who was virtually his keeper. found ii i'm
possible to continue him at the table, and
had to have all his meals taken to the
cabin.
