A yachtsman Of mlny sunni 1ers' eX.
perience along the New England coats
advises against eating lobster just
taken from the traps. The ira IS, he
says, are baited with fish, often in an
advanced stage of decay, and it is the
rule of the knowing to keep alive for
some hours, in saltwater, the Holsters
intended for the table, to give them an
opportunity to digest their food. Cases
of poisoning he attributes to the eat
ing of lobster too soon after it has left
the trap.IGood housekeeping.
While we delight in making our
Prescription Departments all that a
public could wish. with the purest
drugs and strictest, we take no less
a pride in our proprietary stock. We
specially recommend the great treat
ment for constipation and biliousness
embodied in Ramon's Liver Pills and
Tonic Pellets. 1t has been appro-
priately styled the 'mild power
theory" and we believe it will event
ually supersede the drastic liver pills.

SMALLEY REPELS HURD'S
"HOT AIR" INSINUATION
Declares He Wanted to Bet Real Money
on the Result of the Sena-
toriaI Fioht.

Regarding the advertisement which
appeared in an evening paper yester-
day over the signature OF Rukard Eurd,
Victor H. Smalley said last night:
"This, to use street paclance, makes
me laugh. Both of the papers in queS-
ton stated several days ago that they
had received from me certified checks
for 81 1000 each to wager on Senator
Horton. One check was deposited with
Mr. Crawford, managing editor of the
News, and one with Mr.. Dodds, city
editor of the Dispatch. The checks
were drawn on the Scandinavian
American bank and were certified.
What makes Mr.. Hurd's advertisement
the more ridiculous is that alongside Of
his statement appeared an article by
the political editor of the News calling
attention to the fact that the certified
check for $1,000, held by that paper,
was still uncovered. These two certi-
fed checks are still in the possession of
the two above named papers.
IT don't pretend to be politician,
and, up to the time Mr.. Elurd made
this very funny play in the evening
sheet, had no other desire than to
quietly work in the interests Of SeBa-
tor Horton, without any publicity. But,
the 'hot-air' advertising done by Mr..
Hurd in the paper referred to certainly
calls for an answer. He speaks Of
Senator Horizons friends resorting to
Tenderloin methods in the present
campaign. I want to state right now
that there was never a primary cam
paign in the history Of this city into
which such low, TenderIoin methods
entered as are being used by Mr.. Uurd
now. Mr.. Hurd has not stopped at
anything to further his gains in this
contest And these remarks are not
based on hot air. either"

Man Who Was With SchIey Says Sal.

parts can be gratified on application to
Lieut.. j. P. J. Ryan, u. S. N, at the
naval recruiting station in the cid
postoffice building, Wabasha and Fifth

Lieut.. Ryan has been recruiting in
Minneapolis, but he reports that the
inhabitants Of the Flour City are con-
firmed landsmen. Only thirty one ap-
plicationS for enlistment were receiv-
ed there, and Of these less than a dozen
have been accepted. Some of the lat
ter are already on their way to Phila-
delphia, where the receiving ship Mill
neapolis is now stationed.
The lieutenant hopes for better sue
cess in st. Paul, and says that the
chances for young men in the naval
service Of Uncle Sam at the present
time are especially attractive by rea-
son of the opportunities for rapid pro-
motion resulting from the large in
crease in the navy now in progress by
the construction of many vessels OF
the largest and finest type.

SKIRT CATCHES IN GATE
AND CAR DRAGS GIRL
Safety Continuance Is Cause of Miss
Welsh's Rough Contact
With Pavement.

Hurled to the ground and dragged
for more than twenty feet by a west
bound Seventh street car, was the ex-
perience that Miss Sarah Welsh was
subjected to. The young woman's face
was badly bruised, her left hip was
injured and her right forearm terribly
lacerated. A new silk waist was total
ly destroyed, while her skirt was torn
to shreds.
Shortly after 8 O'clock Sunday even
ing Miss Welsh alighted from car at
Sixth and Wabasha streets. The mo-
torman started the car, at the same
time swinging the gates shut Miss
Welsh's skirt caught between the clos
ing gates, and as the car moved for
ward she was thrown to the pavement.
One of the passengers on the rear
platform saw the accident and rang
for the car to stop. No attention was
paid to the signal, and the woman was
rolled along the pavement for fully
twenty feet. Then her skirt tore loose
from the gates, probably saving the
womans life.
She was semi conscious when picked
up and was taken to her home, IA
West Seventh street.
Yesterday the young woman was
confined to her bed, and while her in
juries are not serious, they are very
painful. The physician attending Miss
Welsh says it will be several days be-
fore she will be out.
