IT rs IMPORTANT
To Know What You arc Taking
When Using Catarrh Medicines.


When Using Catarrh Medicines.
Catarrh is the short route to
consumption, and the Importance
OF early and judicious treatment
of catarrh, whether located in the
head, throat or bronchial tubes,
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
The list Of catarrh cures is as
long as the moral law and the
forms in which they are admins
tered, numerous and confusing,
from sprays, inhalers, washes,
ointments, and salves to powders,
liquids and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly
the most convenient and most eff
fective, but with nearly all adver-
tised catarrh remedies it is almost
entirely a matter of guess work as
! to what you are taking into your
system, as the proprietorS, while
making all sorts OF claims as to
what their medicines will do, al
ways keep it close secret as to
what they are.
The success and popularity of
the new catarrh cure, Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, is largely because
it not only cures catarrh but be-
cause catarrh sufferers who use
these tablets know what they are
taking into their systems. Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets being composed
Of Eucolyptol, Hydrastin, Guaiacol
and similar valuable and antisep-
tic ingredients, and are pleasant TO
the taste and being dissolved in
the mouth they take immediate eff
feet upon the mucous lining of the
throat, nasal passages and whole
respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets have accomplished in old
chronic cases of catarrh are little
short of remarkable, and the adj
vantage of knowing what you are
putting into your stomach is of
paramount Importance when it is
remembered that the cocaine or
morphine habit has been frequently
contracted as the result of using
secret catarrh remedies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet
with cordial approval from physi-
clans, because their antiseptic
character render them perfectly
safe for the general public to use
and their composition makes them
a common sense cure for all forms
OF catarrhal troubles.
All druggists sell them at so cts.
Tor full sized packages.

.TANaE N EN CHARTER
POLICE COMMISSION MAY DIS
CHARGE MUNICIPAL COURT
OFFICERS AT WILL.
BUT JUDGES MUST APPROVE
whoever Is Assigned by. the Conn
mission to Serve in That. ca
pacity-BIoVv for Adams
and Parish.

The contention on the part Of E. M.
Parish and ]. @. ADAMS, the munich
pal court bailiffs, discharged by the po-
lice commission last a. .ugust,.s that the
judges Of tnat court must consent to
their discharge before such dismissal is
legal, was overruled by Judge Lewis
yesterday
The decision was given in overruling
the demurrer filed by Parrish and
Adams to the city's answer to their
complaint in suing for their salaries
after they had been discharged.
It will be remembered. that the. plain
tiffs were removed from the police force,
and consequently from ~eheir positions
as municipal court bailifs. In their
stead, ]. II. Loomis and r. A. Vance
were appointed by the commission. The
judges of the municipal court, however,
refused to recognize the luE.ap1itY Of
he commission, and with their consent
Parish and Adams forcibly restrained
the new appointeeS from assuming
their duties, and continued to act as
court bailiffs as before.
'WhIle performing the duties Of special
municipal court officers. they We're not
paid the regular salaries going with
those positions, the city 7authorlties
claiming that>they had~heen discharged
in the regular way, and were Therefore
not entitled to- Ora w ga alaE3eSs--
An action to recover one months sal
ary was commenced, and to the COM
plaint the City replied, citing the city
charter as proof that the discaaTga had
been made on sufficient authority. The
plaintiffs replied with a demurrer, and
III passing on this document Judge
Lewis says, in part:
1.-THE plaintiffs appointment as patrol
men and as Hen2beIs>of-t the regular po-
lice force of the city was in no manner
dependent on the approval of the judges
Of the municipal court, although their
assignment to duty in that court was
subject to such approval This, how
ever, in the opinion of the court in no
manner requires that plaintiffs dis
charge from the police force must be
subject to the approval of such Judges.
But, being regular members of the po-
lice force, they are subject to discharge
by the board of police, as provided in
the charter The answer, therefore,
states a valid defense. II ,-..--
The action will now go to the courts
and be tried on it's merits, but the plain
ti1fs have already been defeated on the
point on which they mainly relied for
the success Of their action. AS the mat
ter now stands, the police may appoint
officers for service in the municipal
court, but they may not be accepted by
the judges, for Judge Lewis decides
that the judges must approve Of the
assignment of officers to duty in their
courts, although they have nothing
whatever to do with the appointment or
discharge Of these officers.

The parent proved an unnatural one,
and although he was living at his ease
and known to be wealthy, he said that
he could not care for her, and placed
her on a train for Milwaukee. The MIL
Wau6ee authorities would not have her,
and she was then sent to some small
town in Minnesota, and from there
around to half a dozen places before she
finally arrived at st. Paul. She has a
brother in Minneapolis and came over to
him.
But again she was greeted by a cold
heart, as the. brother said he could not
afford to care for her, although the con-

turned over to the police.

She is forty-seven years of age, and
