PROFIT BY OTHERS EXPERIENCE

The MayfieId Medicine Mfg. Co., ST. Louis, Mo.
DEAR SIRs: We consider it our duty to write you a few lines,
telling you what relief our child received by using Baby Elixir. Our
baby suffered all summer with summer complaint and teething. She
was under the doctor treatment two months, but she grew worse all
the time-was so poor and weak could scarcely walk. We were adj
vised to try McGees Baby Elixir, so we did, but without faith, at first.
After using one bottle she was improving, when we had used five bottles
she was completely cured she can now eat and digest anything. We
advise all parents to use Baby Eixr-that is guaranteed.
Respectfully,

BRYANT ONCE
SAW BETTER DAYS
Friends Of Great Poets
Grandson Try to Save Him
From WOrkhouse.

F. E. Bryant, graduate of Harvard
college, once judge of the municipal
court at West Superior and a grand
son of William Cullen Bryant, the
poet, was in police court yesterday
charged with drunkenness and disor-
derly conduct.
His case was continued by Judge
Hine until Monday and in the mean
time friends Of his more prosperous
days will make an effort to save him
sentence to the wOrkhouse.
Drink has been the downfall of this
once brilliant lawyer. He is now past
sixty years Of age and has no control
over his appetite for liquor. He no
longer attempts to practice law and
has no office. For some time the
friends of his younger days have car
ed for him by giving him small sums
Of money.
Yesterday was the third time Bry-
ant has been in police court during
the past few months. The first time
he was brought In Attorney Morton
Bryant at Harvard, interceded and Sc
cured his release. The next time Da-
vid PEBBLES, another friend of Bryants
younger days, saved him a trip to the
Workhouse. Now, his friends will
once more sendeavor to save him. He
has, no money and makes practice Of
going among his old acquaintanceS
and begging the loan of quarter or
any small sum they might feel dis
posed to part with.
For several years Bryant was judge
of the municipal court at West Su-
perior, but when drink got the better
of him he left West Superior and came
to st. Paul. Since he has lived here
he has made no attempt to do any
thing. Despite his years of dissipa-
ton Bryant still presents a genteel
and dignified appearance.

SUMMER CARNIVAL
is To BE HELD
IN ST. PAUL
Baths Association Makes
Contract With the Jabour
Company to Give Two
Weeks Entertainment in
July and August-Money
to Go to Public Baths.

Beginning with July 27, st. Paul is
to be treated to two weeks of carnival
and merry making. Late yesterday
afternoon Mayor Smith, as chairman,
and Assemblyman Michael Doran, as
secretary of the st. Paul Public Baths
association, closed a contract with the
Jabour Carnival and Circus company
by which it agrees for two entire
weeks to manage and supply st. Paul
with a line of features and carni-
cal novelties that, it is promised, will
bring thousands to the city.
The carnival has for its end the fur
nishing of the ST. Paul public baths
with funds for proper approach, and
the island with many needed improee-
mentS, and Is the outgrowth of a
casual meeting of several members of
the two council bodies, held several
weeks ago, when the mater of money.
was under consideration. The aid of
other officials and representative citi-
zens was solicited, and from it evolved
the st. Paul Public Baths association.
Correspondence was opened with the
Jabour Carnival and Circus company
and the signing of the contract yes
terday, which was submitted by
George Jabour and Smith Hall, as
manager and representative for the
company, was the result.
The members of the association pres

Ought to Be Money Getter.
The Jabour Carnival and Circus
company is the same that managed the
Elks' carnival at Minneapolis year
ago. Then, with inclement weather to
contend with, $4,000 was netted the
order, but Messrs. Jabour and Hall
assured the association yesterday that
in their opinion ST. Paul would do
much better. By the contract yester-
day the company is to supply three
tented shows and a collection of novel;
ties that will include pyrotechnic dis
plays, aerial acts, national villages,
acrobats, platform shows and other
features. The only thing stipulated is
that nothing objectionable shall be
included. This was insisted on by DIR.
Ohage.
In order to make the carnival more
complete the merchants are to be In
terested to the extent of decorating
and sidewalk displays. The carnival
will be held In the central part of the
city, the exact location of which will
be selected at a meeting to be held
shortly. The carnival is to be made
one of the largest ever held in st. Paul
Low railroad rates will be secured.
A meeting of the association will be
held next week, at which time it's
scope will be further enlarged and sub
committees appointed. Articles of in
corporation will be taken out short
ly. The labor unions have been inter-
ested and they will take up the mat
ter at a general meeting to be held
next week.
