Wilson the FalSir.

The rubber-mouthed gentleman who
insulted the citizens of this city for
ten days nightly on the Bank corner
and who sold much shoddy truck to
Ely suckers on a dollar-a-day privilege
ran up against hard luck at Hibbing
where he was arrested by the recorder
for selling without license. The
strangest part of the proceeding is
that II. Waldo Murphy the Hibbing
president, put himself on record as
favoring the skin game by throwing
his official protecting mantle over the
fakir and allowing him to get away.
Justice Berdie however had his inning
and mulcted the officers for u fine for
contempt of court with the statement
that he would uphold the dignity of
the court as long as he held the pos
ition as justice. Murphy claims that
by virtue Of being president he could
do as he pleased. Strange proceed
ings surely, but in our opinion the
president is off-sort of "rake-off."

Cold, Damp Weather Ag-
gravates the Disease.

Cold, damp and disagreeable
weather is dreaded by those sub
ject to Rheumatism, for the slight
est change in the atmosphere or
temperature is sure to increase
their suffering. A great many
who experience little difficulty
from Rheumatism during the
summer months are likely to be-
lieve themselves rid of the disease,
but with the first cold, damp day
their aches and pains return and
they soon find themselves firmly
in the grasp Of their old enemy,
who tortures them more than
ever.
Several years ago I was afflicted
with what the doctors called Sciatic
Rheumatism OF Lumbago, suffering the
most intense agony at times, and being
confined to my bed about year, al
though four of the best physicians Zone
of whom was my father) attended me
during my illness. They could give me
only temporary relief, and think they
tried about all of the remedies known
to medical science, dosing me with
strong medicines until my stomach got
in such condition that could digest
nothing, and neither myself nor friends
had any hope of my recovery. I was
persuaded to try S. 8. S., and before
finishing the first bottle, / found that 1

color of the silk dot. The collar and
belt are of rich, plum -colored velvet.
All the poplins in black and white eff
fects are very attractive, and on these
weaves black velvet ribbon and black
velvet buttons are used. Gray f1ecked
with white or violet and cream color
with cerise are other pretty color ef-
fects.
Quaint little Gretchen dresses and
odd Wilhelmina bonnets for little girls
are brought out at the importing
houses and furnishing stores. The
dresses are made of cashmere, drap
d'Alma Henrietta cloth, or novelty
goods, and the handsomest are trimmed
with velvet, the bonnets made of vel
vet to match.
In order to produce the svelte and
clinging style of dress, skirt Innings
particularly for women of full figure
are made of the softest undressed silks
and satins: and all stiff moires and
crisp taffetas, failleS, etc, are avoided.
Where expansion and breadth are need
ed they are produced by fiaring skirt
seams, undulating frills and founces,
plated ruff1es, ruches and countless
other popular skirt accessories.
Gay-colored and black-ribbon ruches
in narrow and medium widths are in
great demand, and are made constant
and effective use of as a single trim
ming, or in combination with fancy
gimps and tiny bands of fur. These
ruchings are sold by the yard in every
fashionable color, and many pieces are
used to decorate skirts, bodices, col
lars and sleeves. They make simple
and pretty finish for the edge of a
fiounce, for the top of an arched collar,
or the edges of the faring cuffs. For
evening toilets are sold yards of ruch-
ing made of crumpled chiffon, mousse
line de sole, or net, bordered with che
mile dots. baby ribbon in satin or vel
vet, or lines of eolored silk lock-stitch-
ing.
The spring will see nearly all skirts
made with side closings, either real or
simulated, by buttons and lacing cords.

The Courts and Sanitary Law.

There has always existed one very
vital and fatal defect in the funda-
mental principle of sanitary law as in
terpreted by our courts, namely, that
an evil condition must actually exist
before legal remedy can be applied.
This has absolutely destroyed the eff
cacy of sanitary law. Power to cope
with infectious disease after it has
made it's appearance is insufficient
power. Modern sanitation calls for le-
gal power to prevent conditions favor
able to the outbreak or continuance
of disease; in other words, for power
to deal with the causes of the disease
instead of with the disease itself; to
close the stable, so to speak, before
the horse is stolen. This is the power,
par excellence, required by, and indis-
pensable to, the health officer of to-
