White Man Turned Yellow.

Great CONSERVATION WAS felt by the
friends of Nj, A. Hogarty of Lexington,
KY, when they saw he was turning
yellow. His skin slowly changed color,
also his eyes, and he suffered terribly.
His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He
was treated by the best doctors, but
without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
stomach and liver remedy, and he writes
"After taking two bottles was wholly
cured" A trial proves its matchless
merit for all stomach, liver and kidney
troubles. Only soc, Sold by +. H.

Two Warrants for Violating the Sa-
loon Ordinance.
Legal Talent in Abundance Employed
to Fight the Respective
Sides.
FIRST ORDINANCE UNSIGNED

The test of the saloon ordinance
came quickly. This afternoon il is
to be argued before Judge Sanders, in
the police court. While the ordinance
was effective from the time the mayor
signed it, no effort was made to en-
force it until last night, and this morn
ing two warrants were issued, one
against Mr.. James MnNulty, Of North
Fourth ard the other against Mr..
Charles Graham, at Ninth and Court,
or remaining open later than 1890
o'clock.
The cases were called in Judge San
ders court this morning and set for 2
O'Clock this afternoon. They will be
prosecuted by Attorney Jesse Gilbert,
for the city, and by Reed and Berry,
who have been employed to assist.
The defense will be represented by
Moss, Lightfoot and Flournoy and
Harrison. There will no doubt be sew
eral reasons offered why the ordinance
is invalid. One is that the time for
closing the saloon Is one thing, II 80
in the title, and another, lo:S0,i in the
ordinance proper.
The attorneys will also offer much
law in support of their respective
sides. The attorneys for the defense
claim that they have found a law
which will knock it out, while the 9th.
er side claim that the new ordir arce
comes under the head OF police regu-
lations, and is constitutional.
In regard to the discrepancy in the
ordinance, President Reed, of the coun-
oil, this morning made an investiga-
ton, and learned the true status Of the
case. The original ordinance has new.
err been signed, and contains the cor
rect figures. That in the title was
originally 1880, the same as in the
body OF she ordinance, but when il was
amended the change was made by
making the &C" around the ~" and
the 30" has now become 20 dim that
it can hardly be seen, making 1t appear
1880 instead of 1880.
This ordinance after final passage
was copied, and the stenographer mis-
took the corrected figures for 1880,
and so copied them. The mistake
was NOS noticed by Alderman Greif,
of the enrollment committee, when he
went over it and certified TO IL as
correct, and it was handed to the speak
CT Of the council, the president Of the
aldermen and the mayor the same wey
and each signed it without noticing
the mistake. The original ordinance,
however, the one read and passed in
each board,is not the one that has been
signed. The one that wss signed Is a
copy, which further complexities the
case. Some claim that the defect
could be reIDedied by the three offici-
ais, or the mayor alone signing the
original ordinance and throwing the
copy away.
