THE LADY THE WINNER.
Amusing Occurrence In an ONCE
Building Elevator In Chicago.

Amusing Occurrence In an Office
Building Elevator In Chicago.
People who ride in cliffs in this
city acquire some queer experiences at
times The calling of the floors where
passengers desire to debark or embark
not infrequently produces some anus
ing situations. 1t all depends upon the
style of the person making the an
nouncement. OF course conductors
are mute participants in the game.
Here is one happening of yesterday
which is certainly out of the usual run.
Half dozen passengers entered an
elevator in big down town office build
ing. Doctors office there almost to the
exclusion of other professions. One boy
with package asked to be deposited
at the second floor. A woman stood
mute while medical man thought he
would leave at the fifth. The conductor
turned an inquiring head and the re-
naming passengers with one voice
Ginning in full chorus shouted:
"Tenth.
"Seven up" murmured a gentle
voice as the car reached the indicated
floor.
Two men seeking the tenth floor
glanced at each other with grins of ap-
probation as a stenOgrapher, and a
pretty one, by the way, entered the car.
She seemed unconscious of having Gre
ated more than passing interest, but
the conductor was alive to the situation.
"The lady wins" he muttered to
himself as he gave the lever yank and
the car shot upward again. Chicago

APOrtO Rican Shave.
The Porto Ricans, who are all, from
their highest to the lowest, great dan
dies in their way, make soap out of CO.
coanut oil and homemade lye. And a
fine soap it is, smooth and fragrant.
This cocoanut oil soap is used for shaw
ing. When a man wishes to have a
shave in the morning, he starts out
with his cocoanut shell cup and his
donkey tail brush and bottle. 1t is
never any trouble to find an empty bot
tie in Porto Rico, Cuba, Jamaica or al
most any Of the larger West India is
lands, even in remote spots in the
mountains. At least ~ generations or
thirsty people have lived there and
thrown away the bottles.
The man carries no mirror. He is too
| poor to own such a luxury. Not one
| house in 90 in Porto Rico has even the
very cheapest looking glass. But gen
orally rich nature provides the mirror
as well as the soap. The man goes to
some convenient pool in the mountain
stream where the water is quite still.
There is his mirror. He breaks his bot
tie ON stone and deftly picks out a
sharp piece of suitable size Then he
fathers his face profusely and begins to
scrape away with his piece of glass,
which in his hands works as well as the
best steel razor. a cut, or even slight
scratch, is extremely rare as a result OF
this al fresco form of shaving. Chica-

MUNYON'S GREAT FIGHT.

Professor Munyon is winning fresh

Physicians themselves admit that Mum

troubles; that his Kidney Cure will cure
80 per cent of all cases of kidney trouble;

A THIN DISGUISE.

The cutie fish has a tricky habit Of
covering his. tracks by exudinp an inkv
fluid which discolors the water and keens
MN out OF view. There's good deal of
the cutie hsh about some advertise
ments, notably those purporting to offer
medical advice by woman to women.
An examination of the advertisement
will show that no offer of a Doctors adj
wee is really made. And all the clamor
about writing to a woman" " is merely
raised to divert attention from the fact
that doctors advice is not really offered
and cannot be given. The real question
IS not of writing to a U0maR or a man
but of writing to a doctor,
For the advice of an unqualified
woman is just as dangerous as the
advice of an unqualified man.

Nntes of the Courts.

Mrs. McComb, living on Avenue #, filed an
Information in Justice Terriers court yes
terday charging a neighbor, John Bruno,
with malicious trespass. According to Mrs.
McComb's complaint, Bruno invaded her
garden and tore up large number of her
cabbage plants which she had recently sown.
The trouble will have an airing in court to-
morrow morning.
B. ]. Lund of South Fourteenth street filed
an information in the same court against
Mrs. Maggie Reinohl, charging her with
wilful trespass. According to Lund horse
belonging to the defendant strayed into his
patch and he tied lit up. Mrs. Reinohl broke
into the place and took the animal away
without offering to recompense him for the
damage 1t had done. Mrs. Reinohl will have
a hearing next Monday.
Another inform nation was filed in the same
court by Oscar Younkeman charging II. ].

This loss is credited entirely to the new
law Formerly property was assessed at a
supposed 40 per cent of its value. Under
the new law operative this year in full for
the first time, property is assessed at 25
per cent of its real value 1t was be-
lieved that 25 per cent of the actual value
would amount to more than the old 40 per
cent. But this idea of the legislature has
proved to be a mistake. The figures were
completed today for Polk county, the largest
in the state. The assessment on real estate
fell off under the new law $1,000, 900. The
increase on personal property was $4,000.
This makes the total loss about s3,4Oo, 900.
Dallas county has completed its footings
and which show a loss of about 100000,
The effect will be big decrease in the reve-
nues of the state and the tax law will
probably be changed

DR., Jennings Condemns Amusements
and the Sunday Newspaper.
The feature of yesterdays session OF the
Methodist conference at the Broadway
church was the address by DR.. H. G. Jen-
nings of Chicago on "a New Puritansm"
at the afternoon meeting. He said that while
all the austerity, pessimism and solemnity
of Puritanism was to be condemned, much
in the mode of life of the old Purttans was
worthy of the greatest respect and should
be emulated by the Christians Of today. The
speaker said he did not believe in the in
fallibility of the church, but did fully be-
heve in the infallibility of the bible. He
touched upon the modern amusements and
said 1t would be preferable for people to be
John the Baptsts rather than give them
selves up to the sensualities Of the amuse-
ments of today. He condemned cards, the
theater and the dance, not so much because
they are harmful in themselves, but be-
1 cause they are looked upon as instruments
of the devil. He took a shot at sensational
preachers and condemned their methods,
especially that of attracting notice by catch
penny advertising He incidentally con-
demned the Sunday newspaper, which he
designated as the worst type of modern dis
sipation.
The sunrise prayer meeting at $50 o'clock
was well attended, were all the sessions.
DR.. Jennings preached in the evening and
was greeted by a large audience.
The session this morning will bring the
conference to close. The tenth annual
convention of the Woman's Foreign Mission
airy society will open this afternoon at the
same place and continue over Friday morn
ing.

SHEA ON THE wARPATH AGAIN.

Brings Injunction Suits in District
Court Against Nine Saloon Keepers.
Attorney ]. ]. Shea, who never misses
an opportunity to take advantage of the
Iowa prohibitory law, is on the warpath
again after a fresh batch of saloon keepers,
and yesterday he served original notices of
suit against nine different establishments
where intoxicating liquors are sold that he
intended applying to the court for injunc-
tions restraining them from doing business.
In each notice Is set forth that he intends
to ask for 500 attorney fees, although the
law, as amended by the recent Legislature,
provides a fee of S25. The saloons on
which notices were served are: The Grand
hotel Myers & Frahm, 515 South Main
street; II. w. Brandt, 225 South Main
street; George Hansen, South Main
street; John oleson, 535 Broadway; o. Van
Sandt 1886 Broadway; James Ruberg, AIS
Broadway; Henry Martin, 100 Broadway;
Curtin G. Smith, 201S Eighth avenue.
Although Shea has applied for injunctions
against almost every saloon in the city and
has secured restraining orders against a
majority, he has never yet, in a single in
stance, enforced one of the orders or closed
up single establishment, being content to
drop the proceedings as soon as the saloon
keeper settles by paying him the attorney
fee judgment for which accompanies the
| order of court. At times the saloon keepers
have talked of pooling issues and fighting
Shea's injunctions, but have always in the
long run decided 1t was cheaper to pay the
attorney fee, as Shea had the law his
side Next Monday has been set by Judge
Smith for hearing the application for tenn
porary injunctions in these cases.
