TROUBLE At sToCKYARDs.
Removal of Sheep Is Accomplished
With Difficulty.

The union stockyards felt the eff
fects of the flood yesterday for the
first time. The back water covered
the yards to a depth Of six inches,
compelling the transfer of all the stock.
More than 10000 sheep had to be taken
from the feeding pens to the high
ground near the yards. The water is
still three feet below the top Of the
levee. surrounding the yards. The trou-
BILE is being caused by the back water
coming up from below. Great incOn-
venience was caused by the water get
ting into the easements and the low
places in the boiler rooms and it was
only by the greatest eXertion that the
fires in the furnaces were kept alive. A
majority of the cattle and hog pens are
still dry, but the steady increase of the
water threatens to inundate the en-
tire yards. A large force of men was
busy all last night loading the sheep
and cattle into the cars and several
trainloads were shipped out during the
night One sheep feeder lost about one
hundred and fifty head of sheep caused
by exposure from standing in the

shelter and could not help themselves. What
was needed was teams to remove their house

The president Of the board of education had
offered the old Humboldt school building IN
the Sixth ward to care for those in that dis

Assistant City Attorney Phillips thought
this was case which might righuuly come
under the head Of an emergency fund, and
that the council or its committee would nave

Aid. Bell suggested that the election booths
owned by the city could be put up on the nigh
ground in the Sixth ward and those unable
to secure other accommodations could oc-
cupy them. Mr. Reardon said it would cost
IS each to put up the botohs and like amount
to take them down, and he certain I'M
occupied buildings could be secured at
much cheaper price. After considerable dis
Cussion the mayor was authorized to eXpend
the $1,000 in the hands of the committee for
the relief Of the food sufferers in such man
ner as he deemed proper. Before an adjourn
ment was taken it was decided that if it
was necessary, resolutions could be passed by
the council by which the 900 for the best
interests Of the city for 1898 could be pledged
to give the committee sufficient money to
care for those who needed relief.

DR. A. b. ANCKER REELECTED
SUPERINTENDENT of THE
CITY HOSPITAL.
THE BOARD WAS IMMovABLE,
EVEN THOUGH STRONG PRESSURE
WAS BROUGHT TO BEAR
UPON THEM.
FAITHFUL SERVICES REWARDED.
Has Been With the Institution Four
teen Years, and Spent That Time
In Building 1t Up.

If there has been any opposition to
the reelection Of Er. A. B. Ancker as
city physician and superintendent of
the city hospital the fact was not ap-
parent at the meeting of the board Of
control yesterday. 1t was after 3
o'clock when the three members of the
board were called to order, and three
minutes afterward President Kerwin
announced that DR.. Ancker had been
unanimously reelected to the position
for q term of four years, dating from
April 4. Commissioner Menk, as soon
as the president had stated that the
board would now proceed to the cleo
ton, nominated Dr. Ancker. Commits
sioner Judson seconded the nomination
and roll call by the clerk resulted in
the three members declaring that the
present incumbent was their choice for
the position. c.-..---
There is no doubt but that strong
pressure had been brought to bear
on the members of the board to select
a new man for the place, but it had
no effect. Dr. Ancker has been con-
nected with the office for the past four
teen years, and to his services is due
the present excellent condition Of the
institution, which has a reputation sec
Ond to none in the country. Members
Of the board after the election stated
that the doctor had proved himself ca
pable and efficient and that in chOos-
ing him for another term they had not
only expressed their own individual
preferences, but had taken a step which
was for the best interests of the city
and the citizens.

ALL IN ONE SHORT DAY.
Variety of Spring Weather and
What 1t Leads To.

In the morning the snow fell as if mill
ions of white birds were shedding their
feathers. By noon the snow had turned into
a sullen, beating rain, yet the sun set in un-
clouded glory. That is the history of an
American spring day. This sort Of spring
does not inspire poets, but it unchains the
demon called Grip, and what havoc he makes
IN the community! No trouble to tell when
he has begun his mischief. The headache,
that banishes rest by day and makes the
night a long torture; the pain in bone and
muscle; the nervousness; the cough that re-
fuses to be quieted, and the rawness OF
throat and the soreness of lung, all tell tho
story.
Naturally this vicious foe to life has sea
the doctors thinking talking, and writing.
FOR once they are agreed. The best Of all
GRIP medicines Is stimulant to rouse every
latent energy Of the body, and at the sama
time to be free from every trace of deleteri-
Gus matter
The one stimulant that meets these con-
oltlons Is Dufy's pure malt whiskey. Sd

fess1on. Always, at this time of the year,

consequences. For sale by all druggists and

THEIR HEARTS ARE YOUNG.
Man of Seventy-FOur to Marry a
Woman of Seventy-Three

Woman of Seventy-Three.
He was little old man, with a bald
head, but with eyes as bright as they
might have been fifty years ago, when
he first fell in love. He walked into the
office of the clerk of the courts yester-
day afternoon. His step was light and
his cOuntenance wore serene express
sion. And why shouldn't it, when its
owner was in quest of a license to Wed
the woman of his choice?
What is your name?' inquired Dep
uty Clerk Johnson.
peter Lallier," answered the old
man.
What's her name?' queried the
clerk.
Catherine Hemberg," responded the
old man, and his bright eyes twinkled
as he spoke the name.
While the clerk was filling out the
marriage license some one asked the
old man his age.
''Seventy-four," was the reply The
next question was inevitable. Every
body mentally guessed that the bride
to-be belonged to later generation
than the groom.
She's seventy-three," said the old
man, with a triumphant smile that
showed him to be proud of his con-
quest.
you've known each other for some
time, them" remarked another by
stander
"Oh, va" exclaimed the old man, who
spoke with a German accent. II have
lived in St. Paul since 1855, and she has
lived here, too, a long time. I have
been a widOwer for twenty years. L
was a basket maker, and / bought me
some property on Cedar street, between
Seventh and Eighth. I sold 1t for SIS
600, and bought my place on Franklin
street where I live -
You have grandchildren?
The old man nodded and smiled
smile Of justifiable pride as he informed
his interrogation that he had three chill
dren, one of whom had ten, another
seven. and the third six children MAX
ing twenty three grandchildren.
you're a good deal of a grand
father" remarked another bystander,
for the old man had become the center
of quite a gathering by this time
ooh, va, I'm all right" and the old
man winked the slyest kind of a wink.
He said that he was a German by
birth and that his affianced was a
French woman. She, too, had been
married. but had lost her husband six
teen years ago.
AS the clerk handed the marriage Ii
cense to Peter Lalier, he remarked:
1.-TWO dollars, please"
''Das list genug," commented the old
man, as he extracted the two silver
coins from his old-fashiOned purse.
They will be married tomorrow.

The friends Of Col. Allen may be as
sured that the pending foreclosure pro-

colonel or the management Of the no
tel, being a mere formal necessity to
complete the legal transfer of the title.

Will you kindly call the attention Of our
Eighth ward alderman to the condition of
Avon street, between RondO and Carroll.
The taxpayers and citizens of that district,
through your columns, desire to ask the hon
orable representative of the ward why he
has for the past year refused to listen to
their appeals for a sidewalk for the above
named place. We have time and again ap-
pealed to him for relief, but thus far it
seems to no purpose. The Rondo street line
runs a partly up Avon and passengers
for the end of the line are compelled to
waddle ankle deep in mud and slush, winter
and summer, simply because our worthy
alderman has paid no attention to securing
a sidewalk We kindly ask your assistance
in bringing us the proper relief.
