List to Won Bulow's Mother.

Hans is evidently gifted with mu-
steal organization of the rarest kind.
His executive talent Will easily place
him in the front rank of the greatest
pianists, and his essays At composition
denote quite exceptional qualities of
imagination of individuality and Of
conception. Besides, Hans has taken an
antipathy to every career which would
sever him from art. Permit me- then,
to contide to your motherly love the
happy solution of the noble struggle be
tween his natural vocation and that
destined for him, however bright and
alluring it might be, and in view of the

Guarding Her Employers Secret

A Lasalle street lawyer, who had
spent three months in securing power
of attorney which would enable him to
complete an important real estate deal,
gave the paper granting him the desired
authority to his stenographer
He wanted copy of the instrument
for reference. A few minutes after the
young lady had received the paper she
handed to her employer the copy of the
power of attorney.
"Where is the originate" qucricd the
lawyer as he looked at the unconcerned
typewriter.
ooh, tore that up, - said the young
woman with smile. q tore it into
fine pieces so that no one would get hold
of it. "
The astonished lawyer spent the next
half hour in picking bits of paper out of
the waste basket. These he pasted on a
sheet of paper and presented the patch
work to his clients to convince them Of
his good faith in their interests. He is
now using the mails to secure again his
power of attorney. Chicago News.

CATARRH pOlSONS.

Catarrh is capable of changing all
the life-giving secretions of the body
into scalding fluids, which destroy and
inaame every part they come in con-
tact with. Applications to the places
affected by catarrh can do little good
save to soothe or quiet disagreeable
symptoms. Hence it is that gargles,
sprays, atomizers and inhalants only
serve as temporary relief. Any medi-
cine to effect cure must be taken in
to the system.
So long as the irritating secretions
of catarrh continue to be formed so
long will the membranes continue to
be infamed, no matter what treat
ment is used. There is but one remedy
that has this most desirable effect. and
that remedy is Pe-ru-na. This remedy
strikes at once to the root of the ca
tarrh by restoring to the capillary ves-
sells their healthy elasticity. Peru
ma is not a temporary palliative, but a
radical cure. Send for DR.. Hartman's
latest book, sent free for short time.

turing Co., Columbus, Ohio.

LOCAL BUSINESS MEN.
Some Pointers In Connection With
Trade Excursions.

The running of cheap fare excursions
tosSt. Paul and Minneapolis by some
Of the railroad companies is exciting
the merchants along the lines of road
that are cooperating with the city
merchants, says the Mortified News.
At such times the local merchants go
to the editor of their paper and request
that they publish "trade at home"
editorials aud "patronize home indus
rty" articles. This is deemed the duty
Of the newspaper man and any hest
fancy upon his part would be labeled
treason at once. The merchant never
stops to think that he has in the past
neglected to advertise in this editors
paper and by a systematic use of
printers ink, educate the people in the
belief that they could get just as SER
viceable goods at reasonable prices at
his store as could be had at the de-
partment stores in the cities. The
merchant no doubt has the goods up
on his shelves that the customer wants
but he does not tell the readers of
newspapers about them,. therefore
they are ready to go to the city and
buy what they have read about. While
merchants are we'll informed as to the
duty newspaper owes to town, they
are ever ready to overlook the great
advantage they could gain by judi
cious use fits columns in building
up their own business. There are
people who are not satisfied with what
can be purchased in their own home
town, but the majority of people will
patronize their home stores if they are
we'll informed of the bargains offered
by them as they are of the contents of
the city stores, It is credit to the
merchants of Mortified that we can
truthfully say that an excursion train
from this city would be but poorly pat
ronized by bargain hunters. The mer-
chants have bargains of their own and
are not backward about letting people
know about them as may be seen by
the columns of this paper from week
to week. Twin City merchants ex-
cursions cause no alarm among North
field merchants.

Electric Bitters

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more
generally needed when the lanquid, ex-
hausted feeling prevails. when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the needs of
a tonic and Alternative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.

ATE HIS OWN FLESH.
How Mohammeda Torture Chris
tian Converts,

Miss Anna Melton was for number
of years missionary in Armenia, or
more properly speaking, in that part
of the country of Turkey inhabited by
Armenians and Koords. There is
properly no such country as Armenia.
Miss Melton was here about month
ago and gave lecture in the Presby-
terrain church on q Sunday evening
and was greeted by q crowded house.
This fact coupled with the fact that
an admission fee of twenty-five cents
was charged accounted for the small
crowd present at the lecture Friday
evening in the same church. Her
talk was more interesting Friday even
ing than the previous one, because she
gave more of her personal experience
and had q map of the country with
which to illustrate her talk.
She was for a number of years
stationed at Mosul, town on the
Tigris river, as Presbyterian mission
airy. Miss Melton left that country
for her home in the United States
about two weeks before the massacres
of 1894, she knowing at that time that
such horrible thing as the massacre
ing of the Christian people there was
even contemplated. She wss in that
country, however, in 1892, when q
massacre occurred. BY the word
christians" in that country is meant
all the people not accepting the Mo-
hammedan religion. The tortures to
which the people are subjected dur
ing the massacres, she says, are simply
terrible, and which a degenerated peo-
pie are alone capable of doing. One
of the most horrible deeds which she
told of was of native missionary, who
was captured by the Turkish soldiers,
and who, upon being asked to accept
the Mohammedan religion refused.
The soldiers then carved off some of
the flesh of one of the missionary's
limbs, cooked it before the victims
own eyes, and compelled him to eat it.
After being subjected to this torture
the missionary refused to accept the
religion and was burned to death.
Another horrible torture of which she
told was the placing by the soldiers
of number of swords in the ground
with the points up, and then the VIC
tim was held above them and told to
accept the Mohammedan religion, and
upon his refusing to do so, was
dropped upon the swords. This was
repeated until the victim was dead.
From letters received by Miss Mel
ton from missionaries with whom she
was acquainted, and who we're there
at the time of the massacres in 1894,
she learned that the massacreing of
the people was ordered by the Sultan

SPLIT EVEN.
French Gets a New Trial but the
Ex-president Don't.

On last Thursday morning notice
was received by the attorneys for The
GAZETTE in the two libel suits pend
ing against that paper, that Judge
Weber had denied the motion for
new trial in the case of Hannah Beard
vs.. the publishers and had granted
the motion for a new trial in the case
of E. D. French VS.. the publishers.
The notice came by way of letter
and decision in the Beard case to
Messrs. Baldwin & Patterson and J.
Fl. Bowers, the attorneys for The GA
zErTE. The decision in the latter case
was sent to the opposing counsel and
did not arrive here until later train.
In the Beard case the attorney for
the plaintiff moved that the verdict be
set aside on the grounds that it was
not justified by the evidence, and
hence being contrary to law, and on
account of errors in law occurring at
the trial and excepted to by the plant
if.
In his decision and opinion denying
a new trial Judge Weber says that
"the meaning of the alleged libelous
publication, is, I think, very obscure,
but the plaintiff, by inuendo, alleges
that it charges her with fraudulently
claiming ownership of certain proper
ty for the purpose of defraudipg the
creditors of her husband, and with the
crime of arson. The meaning of the
defendants answer is, if possible,
more obscure than that of the publica-
ton; but I construe 3 it as admitting
that the publication charges the plant
if with fraudulently claiming the own
ership of certain property for the pur-
pose of defrauding the creditors of her
husband, and as denying that it charg-
es her with the crime of arson.
II think there was evidence sufh-
Gent to warrant the jury in finding
that the plaintiff fraudulently held
the title to the property in question. It
is admitted that j. A. Beard, the hus
band of the plaintiff, was insolvent,
and it appears from the evidence,
without contradiction, that he paid for
the one-fourth interest in the Park
Hotel property and caused the same
to be conveyed to the plaintiff, and
there is no evidence that this was done
in pursuance of any agreement that it
should be so conveyed in payment of
any debt.
II think that the alleged charge of
arson in the publication is within the
second class of words mentioned in
Pratt VS.. Pioneer Press, 30 Mimi,
4l-43, to-wit: those that are reason
ably susceptible of a defamatory
meaning as we'll as an innocent one"
and the meaning was properly sub
mitted to the jury.
"The greater part of the exceptions
of the plaintiff have reference to the
