A Common Superstition.

Many people believe that the break
ing of looking glass is certain sign
of death. The newspapers report
that a mother recently became in
sane after dropping a mirror because
she feared that some of her loved
ones would soon die. There are other
signs much more dangerous than
this. The most common is disor-
dered stomach, which causes nervous
ness. dyspepsia, indigestion and con-
stipation. These symptoms tell the
sufferer that his days will be shorten
ed unless he sets things right in his
digestive organs. For this purpose
there is nothing so certain to cure as
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It reg
ulates the bowels, steadies the nerves
and whets up the appetite. 1t is the
standard remedy. There is no SUBJ
stitute for it.

The story comes from London that
the queen regent of Spain is fully con-
WINGED of the hepelessness of her son
ever reigning over the destinies of
Spain, and has upon the advice of the
emperor of Austria decided to quit
Spain soon after the treaty of peace
is signed. 1t is also claimed arrange
ments have been made that upon her
withdrawal and the abdication of the
rights Of the young boy king, Don
Carlos will be proclaimed king, and
as soon as everything is running
smoothly, he will abdicate in favor of
his son, Jaime. While there may be
something in this story, it is of rather
a doubtful character. 1t is true, how
ever, that the pathway of the queen
regent is not one of roses, and the life
of her son on the. Spanish throne can
be counted on as Of very stormy
nature.

NEW CANCELLING MACHINE.

The Mankato postoffice is in receipt
of it's new cancelling and dating
machine, and the same was in
stalled and put in operation on Mon
day. The machine occupies about
the space of a domestic sewing ma
chine when ready for use and has a
capacity OF cancelling the stamps on
several thousand letters per hour.
The stamp is of the flag design and
besides greatly facilitating the busl-
ness of the postoffice it will do away
with the unsightly blot on the face Of
letters made with the old hand stamp.
An expert, representing the manu-
facturers, will arrive in the city Mon
day morning to install the machine
and give instruction as to it's opera
tion. Motive power will be furnished
by electricity.

VIM, Eddy, the complaining wit
ness, was on the stand during the
forenoon and large part of the after
noon, He told the story of how
Howard gained his confidence by
smooth talk and induced him to ex-
hibit his pocketbook behind the
union depot, how Howard took 800
in gold from it and placed it on
windowsill. how Wright pretended to
win it on the turn of card and dis
appeared with it, how he followed
Howard until the latter was arrested,
and the other details that are fam
iliar to our readers. He was put
through severe cross examination,
but stuck to his story in all of it's es.
sentlal features. He denied that he
had bet his money, and said that he
had never gambled in his life but
once, when he was boy and bet
jackknife on horse race and lost it.
That had been lesson to him that he
had followed through life.
When asked why he did not take

Eddy replied that he did not have
time to and that he was under an in
f1uence that he could not throw off.
When asked why he showed his

Howard had talked so entertainingly
to him and had gained his confidence
to such degree that he was power
less.

AWARDED $500.
Walter D. Coles Damage Suit Is
Successful.
The Award Is Claimed to Be Inconsistent
With One of the Special Find.
ings, However.

TIE jury in the 50, 900 personal injury
suit OF Walter D. Cole VS.. the Omaha
road and the Western Union Tele-
graph Co., agreed upon sealed ver-
dict at midnight and it was present.
ed in court at nine o'clock Saturday.
1t awards the plaintiff $500
damages. A stay of thirty days was
granted.
The jury, besides being required to
pass on the question of damages was
given three questions to answer.
These questions and the answers re-
turned are the following:
Question 1st. Before an actual
knowledge of this accident. would it
have appeared to man of ordinary
prudence and intelligence that there
was danger that this wire might be-
come detached from the pole so as to
endanger persons passing along the
street or sidewalk? Answer, "Yes."
Question I'd. Did any agent or SER
Yant of either of the defendants have
knowledge before this accident that
the wire in question was detached
from the pole that it might endanger
persons passing along the street or
sidewalk, and if so what agent or ser.
want? Answer, "No."
Question 3rd. On the morning of
the accident, and when or before the
plaintiff stepped upon or was caught
in the wire in question, did he see
the wire or would he have seen it if
he exercised ordinary care? Answer,
ono"
The attorneys for the plaintiff main
tain that the giving of any damages
is inconsistent with the answer to the
second question, and will therefore
move for new trial. and if this is de.
MED an appeal will no doubt follow.
The case is peculiar one. 1t was
shown that the pole and wires are
owned by the telegraph company.
The railroad company operates the
line and is under contract to keep il
in repair. If any part has to be re.
placed, the telegraph company is to
furnish the material. Witnesses for
the plaintiff testified that the wire
around the pole had been loose for
from one to six weeks. 1t is admit
ted that the company had no actual
notice of this fact, but the plaintiff
claims that it had constructive no.
tice. Judge Wilson argued that the
companies were not bound to be look
ing for the unexpected to happen.

ON THE CURB.

One of the city officials this morning
left an order for Thanksgiving
turkey. II want a small, tender last
springs turkey" said he.
ST you want nice, juicy turkey, las
good as can be had for the money, you
don't want last springs turkey" re-
piled the meat market man, who, by
the way, has been in business for
many years. The dealer in meat
then went on to say that for flavor
and the juicy qualities that are only
found in the best turkeys an eighteen
months old bird is the best. "A
growing turkey is not as fat or as
pleasant tasting as an older one," said
he. Most people make the mistake
of supposing that a last spring turkey
is the best. but when pick out my
Thanksgiving turkey I will pick out
one that was Matched year ago last
spring. 1t will take little longer to
cook it, but the meat will taste much
finer. 1t is the same way with
chickens. Unless a person wants q
fryer he should get fowl that is a
year or more old. A growing COW or
steer sdoes not make nearly as good
meat as one that has gotten its
growth. Another thing. when l want
a really fine turkey, chicken or piece
OF meat of any kind l always select
that which has been dressed for some
time-the longer the better. A
turkey ought to be dressed two weeks
before it is eaten. Meat from steer
killed two or three weeks ago tastes
much better than meat from the
same steer if killed yesterday"
A big fl )ck of sheep was driven
down Second street yesterday yester.
day, and led to the remark that the
tariff on wool has made sheep raising
a profitable industry for our farmers.
Aid. Fowler to whom, the remark
was addressed, replied that the tariff
is also good thing to other classes
than farmers. Said he: "Under the
Wilson bill, was able to get pocket
knives imported from Sheffield, Eng
land, for So IS dozen. The manu-
facturer, importer and wholesaler all
made their profit sbefore the knives
came to me at that figure. OF course,
l was able to sell the knives cheaply.
They were nice looking, pearl ham
died, six, bladed knives, but they were
no good. They would soon 60 to
pieces. Now, those skuives are shut
out by the tariff, and American made
knives are sold in their stead. 1t is
true that the price is little higher,
but the knives are far better and will
do twice thd service that the Sheffield
knives will do"

the death of J. A. Smith, private of Com.

The war department officials say that
the report showing such small death
rate among so many soldiers is extremely

condition at Manila. That only one
death should occur in 10000 soldiers
since the last report, week or ten days
ago, is very surprising. The department
