PerunA a Preventive and Cure for Colds.
Mr.. c. f. Given. Sussex, Y. B., Vice
President of "The Past-time Boating
Club, writes:
Whenever the cold weather sets in l
have for years past been very sure to
catch a severe cold which was hard to
throw off, and which would leave after
effects on my constitution the most of
the winter.
Last winter 1 was advised to try
Peruna, and within five days the cold
was broken up and in five days more
was well man. I recommended it to
several of my friends and all speak the
highest praise for it. There IS nothing
like Peruna for catarrhal affiliations.

certain it is that something is wrong
with the forces that contribute to
success in the manufacture of but
tons. Factories at other places have
no difficulty in securing experienced
cutters to leave their homes here and
go nearly 200 miles to work in other
factories. There seems to be an UNI
usual lethargy in the whole fabric of
button making and, as stated, there
are divers opinions as to the real
cause and the correct remedy or re
course. The report of a strike in one
of the factories is declared untrue,
the only demonstration being the fear
expressed by the men that if wages
were lowered they would be COMPEL

Efforts.

j. +. Boepple, the veteran button
maker of Davenport, read the letter
of Stanley Dubois recently published
i'm The Argus concerning the manner
in which the button making industry
was begun in this country and says
that on the whole the facts are well
presented. There are, however, one
or two points that he could take eX-
ception to- One of these concerned
his motive in coming to America.
Mr.. Boepple states that he left Ger
many some twelve years ago for
America after the button business
had ceased To be profitable in that
country, and came here with the full
intention of developing the industry
in this country. He was button
maker by trade and he knew no other
craft. He was not absolutely penni-
less. but had little except faith in his
ability to succeed with which to be-
gin.
First he trieG on one of the south
ern streams i'm this state. but the
shells there would not do. Then he
came to Rock Island and began eN-
perimenting with Mississippi river
shells. At the mouth of Rock river
he found shells that satisfied him, the
variety known as sand shells, and
with a rude machine that he rugged
he cut a few blanks, just enough to
convince himself that they could be
made into buttons that would be ac-
cepted on the market. While con

KANGAROO COPS

Judge w. r. johnson CompIi.
ments Them on the Sue
cessfuI Work Done.

His Honor Judge Johnson" cele-
brated the wind-up of the two weeks
duty at the Carnival court yesterday
evening by entertaining his force OF
cops at a banquet at the Huber cafe.
Eighteen of the force attended and
the entertainment proved a most en-
ioyable one. All the boys were glad
that their laborS were over, but at the
same time were pleased that they had
taken part in the labor of making the
court what it undoubtedly was, the
biggest feature of the carnival.
Mr.. Johnson in a short speech
thanked his assistants for the haro
work they had put in in the cause or
the public baths and undertook to snow
that all the credit belonged to the COPS
and none of it to him as judge. This.
however. was met with indignant de-
malls on the part of the cops, and they
one and all wanted Billy to have the
long end of whatever credit was com

Mr.. Johnson said that when he was
asked to name his committee he picked
out twenty whom he thought would fill
the bill Out of that twenty he said he

Those that We're present, he said, had
been through nearly the whole cam
paign and had worked hard and faith
fully.
Short speeches We're made by most of
those present, and while all agreed
that the work had been no light task,
they were all satisfied that it had been
done in good cause and there were
no regrets over the time spent.
The court collected for the baths
$3.50 in fines running from 10 cents to
81. During the whole two weeks the
cops showed such wise discrimination
In making arrests and were so good
natured over it that on no occasion
where they took the initiative in max
: ing an arrest was there any unpleas
antness caused

temper was displayed in connection
with the proceedings of the court oc-.
Cured on Thursday when the polieH9
were invited into store and then as

At the Minneapolis carnival some $500
was collected, and there the fines ran
up as high as SO. The court here was
only actually in operation for ten days,

was done and they did not work yes

boards attention to the assessments
against the estates of Fanny S. Wilder
and Cornelia Day Wilder Appleby The
records show that the former estate
had been assessed at $4,000 and the
latter at $4,000.
Il had intended assessing those
estates at the full amount said AS
SCISSOR Conley, "but c. N. Bell, the at
torney for the estates, objected SO
strenuously that 1 decided to leave the
matter for the board to attend to-
Il know that both the estates are to
be used for charity" said Assembly
man Whitcomb, but I can't see that
there is much more need Of charity
than for taxes. Ramsey county is
about as poor as anyone else.''
1t was finally decided to send Mr..
Bell a notice to the effect that the
board intended raising the assessments
of both estates.
A number of applications for reduc-
, lions were made, but few of them were
acted upon by the board, the greater
| number being referred to committees
for investigation.
The county board will be in session
another week, after which their work
will be reviewed by the state board.

ject to a $4,000 Addition to
Their Present Assessment.

C. P. Noyes, of the firm of Noyes
Bros & Cutler, appeared before the
board of equalization yesterday anc
protested against the threatened ae-
ton of the board whereby the firms
assessment is to be raised from $780,
600 to 100000. Mr.. Noyes was of the
opinion that the board hod singled out
their firm for additional burdens.
Last year the state board of equal
ization raised our assessment from
100000 to $176,O00,'' said Mr.. Noyes
land this year Assessor Conley made a
farther increase by listing us at $780,
900. To add another $4,000 to this fig
ure would be an injustice to u.s.
Mr.. Noyes explained to the board
that his firm was paying more taxes
than their competitors in other cities
He said the stock carried by them was
carried over many times during the
year, and while they did an immense
business their stock was not all or
| hand at assessment time.

year for subscriptions of some sort,

Nash.

tion
A. H. Lindeke informed the board
that he had made a comparison of the
assessments against jobbers, and con-
sidered the assessment Of Moves Bros

BAR HARBoR, Me-, Aug. S.-The
naval search problem, which began
Wednesday noon, when Rear Admiral
Barker took up the plan of. defending
the Maine coast from hostile fleet"
which put to sea on Monday under
Rear Admiral Sands, ended early today
when the Olympia, the flagship of the
defending fleet, discovered and inter.
cepted the white squadron Of the enc
my" headed at full speed for the winter
harbor.
The hostile vessels were running in
close order formation, and; had not the
fog lifted at favorable moment, it is
thought the enemy would have eluded
those on guard. AS it turned out, be-
fore her consorts could reach the scene
in answer to her signals, the Olympia
had been forced to fly the white flag
and consider herself captured or de-
stroyed by the hostile commander.
The two fleets executed ingenious
maneuvers and exchanged shots, the
result being the enforced surrender of
the attacking fleet. All of the ships
are to gather here for two days pre-
paratory to Sailing for Oyster Bay,
where the entire feet is to be reviewed
by the president next Saturday.
