LIBRARY BOARD WAITED UPON BY
REPRESENTATIVES OF LIBRARY
ASSOCIATION.
THEY PRESENT A RESOLUTION
WHICH ASKS THE CHARTER COM
MISSION TO PROVIDE MORE
FUNDS FOR BOOKS.
SUGGESTION WARMLY INDoRsED.
Committee Appointed to Lay the
Matter Before the Charter Franz
ers and the Council.

The matter of changes to be made
in the proposed charter now under
consideration by the charter commits
sion came up at the meeting of the
directors Of the st. Paul public library
yesterday Under the state law the
cities in the state in which public
Libraries are maintained are allowed
to levy an annual tax Of one-half a
mill for library purposes. In st. Paul,
however, the Bell charter takes away
this right, and one Of the provisions
library purposes in any one year to
the sum of $4,000. 1t was in refer
ence to this section Of the charter that
a committee consisting of Charles Nc
Kean, Prof. Farnswofth, Prof. Bryant.
Rev. A. ]. D. Haupt w. L. Banning
and F. West appeared before the di-
rectors of the library. The gentlemen
represented an organization known as
the Library Association Of st. Paul,
and presented resolution with the
request that the directors approve of
IL and forward it to the common
council The resolution read as fol-
lows:
That in framing the new city charter, the
common council be urged to levy tax for
public library purposes, not to exceed one-haif
mill on the dollar annually as provided in
section l Of the general laws of the state,
ment of free public library.
The members of the board admitted
that the amount allowed each year
was too small for the purpose of the
library While the Bell charter al
lowed $15, 900, and that amount was
levied for each year for some reason,
known only to the comptroller, never
more than $12, 900 was given the fund
in any one year. After some discus
sion the resolution was amended so as
to request the council to see that the
new charter contained a provision
making the maximum amount to be
levied each year for library purposes,
one-half mill, and the minimum
amount not to be less than 900 in
any one year.
A committee consisting of Directors
Arosin, Peet and Wright were appoint
ed from the board to present the re-
quest to the council and also to the
charter commission.
The report of the librarian for Oc-
tober was as follows:

Will SEE THE MAYOR AGAIN.
Retail Liquor Dealers AssociatiOn's
Crusade Against Dances.

Crusade Against Dances.
The st. Paul Retail Liquor Dealers
association took a little rap at his
honor, Mayor Doran, at its regular
meeting yesterday. The association has
inaugurated a crusade against the
dances given by so-calied social clubs"
at which liquor is sold all night and
without any license. Sometimes the
liquor is put UP in innocent-Iooking
packages, such as pop bottles and the
like, but it sparkles and foams-and
intoXicates-just the same. The asso-
citation claims that these dances are
usually patronized by young men and
women, in some cases mere boys and
girls. and when the festive dancers
wander home in the early hours by
may and devious pathsy the good peo-
pie who see them eXclaim in horror at
the saloon-and the latter bear the
bruDt of the disgrace. Obviously this
condition of affairs isn't very salts
factory to the saloon keepers and they
have protested to the mayor but his
honor continues to turn the deaf ear,
although he once gave his word they
would be stopped. A committee has
been appointed by the association to
investigate the matter and some action
wifi be taken at the next meeting, two
weeks hence.
W1lllan Johnson and III. f. Logan,
who were delegates to the national as
ISOLATION at Indianapolis, submitted
report showing that there were bright
prospects for bringing the convention
to st. Paul in SO.
The St Paul association has retained
Attorney E. j. Darragh to defend one
of it's members, A. Dahlquist. who is
charged with selling liquor to minor.
The case comes up for hearing today
and will be carried to the supreme
court if necessary.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC PROTESTS.
Opposed to the Request of the Pa
cifio Coast Steamship Company.

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Some time ago the Pa
chic Coast Steamship company requested the
western roads to give it representation in
the sale Of tickets. Today the Southern Pa
cifc road registered a protest against grant,
ing this request. 1t has no objection to bust
ness being ticketed over its lines to San Fran
cisco and thence by the Pacific Coast Steam
ship companys steamers TO Alaska.
An agreement has been reached by the Ohio
roads which brings TO an end a long drawn
out fight. 1t relates to the running time be-
tween Chicago and Cincinnati, and between
Chicago and Louisville. By this agreement
the minimum time between Chicago and Gin
cinnati will be nine hours, and that between
Chicago and Louisville will be nine hours and
forty-five minutes. Under this agreement
the Monon road will become a member of the
mileage bureau OF the Central Passenger as
s0ciation.
Western roads have again failed to reach
an agreement regarding the withdrawal of
unauthorized freight rates. The Union Pa
citic. Denver & Gulf road refuses to discuss a
settlement Of the points at Issue. except
the basis of it being allowed dlfferentials,
which the other roads refuse to entertain.
There seems to be no means OF ending the
deadlock which now exists.

wALsHs FRIENDS ACTIVE.
Think the Ex-Omcer Hasn't Re-
ceived Fair Treatment,

There is likely to be another hearing in
the case Of Patrolman John P. Walsh, who
was dismissed from the force by Mayor Doran
on charges preferred by Sergt. Joe Davis. 1t
was given out at the time the case was in
vestigated by the mayor that Davis had
charged Walsh with having taken $40 from a
prisoner. When the Communication from the
mayor reached the board Of aldermen, Tues
day night, it stated that Walsh had been
removed on a charge of drunkenness and
disobedience of orders.
President Bigelow informed the members of
the board that he had been present dur
ing the time the matter was investigated in
the mayors office and not one word mad been
said about Walsh being intoxicated or hav-
ing disobeyed orders. 1t was stated yesterday
that friends of Walsh and the ex-oficer him
self would make fight en- Davis. While it
is apparent there is no chance of having
Walsh reinstated, T. D. 0Brien and several
members of the assembly desire to discredit
the testimony of Sergt. Davis as 20 the charge
of robbery. 1t is claimed that testimony will
be offered, when the matter comes up, which
will exonerate Walsh and probably result in
the dismissal of Davis. The mayor says he
was approached by friends of Walsh with
the request that the affidavit of Sergt. Davis
IN the case be withdrawn, but he would
not consent to this, and Davis also objected

A BARBAROUS SURGICAL OPER-
GRAFTON
For the Cure OF piles

Is not only intensely, painful, dan
gerouS to life and very expensive, but
III the light of modern medical re-
search and since the discovery Of the
Pyramid Pile Cure a surgical opera
ton is wholly unnecessary If you
have any doubt on this point kindly
read the following letters from people
who know that our claims regarding
the merits of the Pyramid Pile Cure
are borne out by the facts.
From N. A. Stall, Ridge Road, Nj
agara Co, n. Y: L received your Py-
ramid Pile Cure and tested it last
night 1t did me more good than any
thing 1 have ever found yet, and re-
member this was the result of one
nights treatment only.
From Penn w. Arnett, Batesville.
Ark. Gentlemen:-Your Pyramid Pile
Cure has done me so much good in so
short time that my soninlaW, Capt.
T. j. Klein, of Fort Smith, Ark, has
written me for your address as he
wishes to try it also.
From A. e. Townsend, Benville, Ind {:
1 have been SO much benefited by the
Pyramid Pile Cure that | enclose 81
for which please send a package which
1 wish to give to friend of mine who
suffers very much from piles.
From John H. Wright, Clinton, lie
Witt Co., ILL., am so well pleased with
the Pyramid Pile Cure that 1 think it
but right to drop you a few lines to
inform you its effects have been all
that / could ask or wish
From p. A. Bruton, Llano, Tex:
conference.-the Pyramid Pile Cure
has done so much good for me that !
will say for the benefit Of others that
after using only two days I am better
than I have been for months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
by The Pyramid Drug Co. OF Albion,
Mich, and it is truly a wonderful rem
.edy for all forms of piles. SO great
has been the number Of testimonial
letters received by them from all parts
of the country that they have decided
to publish each weak 1 number of
such letters and never use the same
letter twice, but only fresh letters will
be published.
All druggists recommend the PN ra-
mid Pile Cure, as they know from
what their customers say that no rent
edy gives such general satisfaction.
