A New Form of Personalities

The old style of portrayiDg famous peo-
pie through sketch" or biography is
to be modernized in The Ladies' Home
Journal during 1898. Five of the most
prominent Americans have been chosen
for the departure: President Mckinley.
Mrs. Cleveland, Mark Twain. Joseph
jefferson. and Thomas A Edison. Each
will have a special article, which will con-
sist of about fifteen of twenty fresh. IN
published stories and anecdotes strung to-
gether, each anecdote showing some char
acteristic trait or presenting a different
side of the subject. The idea is to show
famous personalities through their own
dolngs and sayings, and to make these ar
ticIes accurate the relatives and closest
personal friends OF the subjects have as
sisted and given to the Journal the best
stories and anecdotes within their own
knowledge. Each article will thus repre-
sent the closest view Of the one sketched.
No authorship will be attached to any Of
the articles.

A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but
there is no trick about it. Anybody
can try 1t who has lame back and
weak kidneys. malaria or nervous trou-
bles. We mean he can cure himself
right away by taking Electric Bitters.
This medicine tones up the whole sys-
tenn, acts as a stimulant to the liver
and kidneys, is a blood purifier and
nerve tonic. 1t cures constipation,
headache. fainting spells, sleeplessness
and melancholy. 1t is purely vegeta-
bic, a mild laxative, and restores the
system to its natural vigor. Try Elec-
trio Bitters and be convinced that they
are miracle worker. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only Soc bottle at Jno.

that this invalidity did not affect the validity

An ordinance of the city OF Winona pro-

Held first, that the provisions for taxation
are void because in conflict with art. 8, sec.
/, Of the constitution of the state; but their
invalidity does no affect the validity of he
provisions for licensing, the two bling sever

Second-That 1t is within the police power
of the state to require licenses for conducting
gift, fire and bankrupt sales"
Third-In view of the brief and transient
character of such business at any one place
the court cannot hold that $25 pr month is
an unreasonable license fee.
Fourth-The city council is not required to
grant an applicant a license for a gortion
of the month at a proportionate part of $25.
Fifth-The ordinance provides that the city
council may, in lis discretion, direct that
license shall be issued to an applicant who
shall pay the required fee. Held that this
must be construed not as giving the council
an arbitrary discretion to discriminate be-
tween applicants without good cause or to
or prohibit the business, but merely reason
able discretion, honestly exercised to refuse
a license where the applicant is an unfit per-
son to whom to issue one, and that thus con-
strued this provision of the ordinance Is

With much legal verbiage the supreme
court yesterday decided, following the bsst
judgment of those who have been victimized

in the police departments of the country that
the paddock game' is swindling device
a false trick.
The decision in which this profound con-

syllabus of the opinion is as follows:

c. having struck up an acquainta tance with
Cook, proposed walk, and while walking
pretended to have found on the sidewalk a
small paddock, which he exhibited to Cook
and showed him how it could be opened
without a key by touching a secret spring
Subsequently they met w, a pretended stran-

he (W) could not open 1t without key. W
offered to bet $40 that he could. G accepted
the bet and called Cook aside, saying, 81 have

Held, that the S. was obtained from Cook
by means of false trick or device within
the meaning of G. S. 1894, section $685. not
w!thstanding the fact that he did not join in
the bet, and had at the time such confidence
