WILL BREAK UP BLIND TIGERS.

Jackson is to get rid of her blind
tigers and has adopted business-like
method to accomplish its purpose.
The plan is worthy of emulation by
other towns in the state. A special
of the 18th inst. tells of the plan:
At their meeting Saturday night
the City Council adopted resolution
ordering the chief Of police to warn
his men that each and every police
man would be expected to break up
the blind tigers on his beat, and in
the event they do not do SO in thirty
days they will be discharged from the
force. Jackson has the unenviable
and unwarranted reputation of being
the stronghold for blind tigers, and
the council is determined to wipe out
the stigma. The resolution was Of.
fered by prohibition member of the
board and seconded by whisky man,
so that both elements are after the
tiger and his doom is sealed SO far as
Jackson is concerned"

alley, but in this case it was
There are three alleys, and in each
boy was employed to set up the pins.
Now a pin-setter is somewhat of an
artist and real, full-hedged artist
cannot be expected to work without
assistance, SO Tuesday night about Z
o'clock the pin-setters demanded of the
manager of the alleys that an assist
ant be employed to hand them the pins.
At first the management could not
see the necessity for an assistant, but
when he received the ultimatum of the
pin-setters, mo assistant, no pins" he
decided that they would concede the
assistant and another boy was put to
work.
An hour later the pin-setters again
approached the management. Their
assistant was not getting within fifteen
cents of the pay per night he should
receive, they said, and unless it was
made right they would refuse to work.
1t was not made right, and they
struck.
Yesterday new pin-setters We're en-
ployed, and last night affairs had re-
sumed their wonted condition at the

Few people can understand the feel
ings of the pugilist as he is being counted
out. He hears the seconds licked off.
He struggles to rise, but struggles in
vain. He has lost the fight.
There are some who are making a
losing fight for life that can appreciate
this; those whose lungs are diseased.
With every tick of the watch, they know
that they are being counted out.
The great question is how can a quick
rally be made to continue the fight
against disease? Many who have asked
that question have found satisfactory
answer in the use of DIR. Pierce's Golden

obstinate, deep.seated coughs, hemor-
rhage, night sweats, emaciation, and
other conditions which if neglected or
unskilfully treated may find a fatal
termination in consumption.

A Peculiar Case.

George Zsappka, of 1874 South Wash
ington avenue, had warrants sworn
out before Alderman Lentes yesterday.
against his brother Michael, for de-
frauding board bill, and also for un-
brotherly conduct towards Mrs. Zsap-
pka.
1t appears that Michael left his
brothers home without settling for his
keep, and after he had gone, George
also learned Of an intimacy existing be-
tween his wife and brother. Alderman
Lentes after hearing all the facts, de-
cided to hold the defendant in bail for
court, but about this time, the prosecu-
tor relented, forgave his brother, and
paid the costs.
In a short time however. he re-
turned and stated that shortly after
arriving home Michael started in to
clean house." and made dire threats,
so that George was afraid he would
do him bodily harm. The alderman
made out commitment. and the pug
nacious brother was landed in the AL
der street station house. He will be
given a hearing this morning.
