HITS GARDNER HARD
Seizure Of His BARRIERS Chair for
Taxes One in "sea of
Troubles
Paralysis and Bright's Disease, Fol
lowed by Chairs Loss, Almost
Too Much.

Slowly recovering from stroke of par
alysis and suffering from severe attack
Of Bright's disease, L. Gardner, proprie-
tor and manager of a basement barber
shop at Nicollet and Washington avenues,
is beginning to feel that the seizure of
one Of his barber chairs under sheriff S
execution for personal property taxes is
at least next to the last straw needed to
break the camel's back. Mr.. Gardner will
not redeem his property because he can
not afford to pay the SIS taxes due, and
also because Samuel White, loan agent
in Temple Court, has mortgage on it,
the chair, therefore, never having belonged
to Mr.. Gardner Here is Gardner's story:
II have been In this city sixteen or sew
enteen years and l have always paid my
bills and my taxes got notice from the
sheriff to pay, but l couldn't pay. then,
and the first thing I knew they were in
here Selling my chair. tried to explain
that the chair belonged to Mr.. White on
a mortgage but they wouldn't hear me.
From March "a to June was suffer-
ing from a stroke, Of paralysis and an at
tack of Bright's disease. For five weeks
was unconscious. 1 had to leave the
shop in the hands of comparative stran-
gers and the receipts dropped from $75
a week to $40. I am IS years old and
have family of seven to support. If
they take a chair away from me every
time can't pay my taxes, they will soon
put me out of business entirely. It seems
as if they might use some discretion in
! this matter. I have four chairs left, but
the mortgage covers them. What am
going to do? l never saw business worse
| for the BARRIERS. I've been sick man
and am sick yet. I'm still taking medi-
cine. You can see the bottles over there
/ Ask Dr. Towers, DIR. Bell or DR.. Bass
and they will tell you | have been very
sick All I want Is a chance"
Mr.. White, who holds the mortgage
consulted an attorney after the barber
chair had been carted to the sheriff.
Office, and this morning he made forma
demand for it on Sheriff ]. w. Dreger
Mr.. Dreger, however, stood pat" HI
declared that he was going to sell tina
chair and that If Mr.. White had any ella ln
on it he could collect damages from the
county commissioners. Nevertheless, Mr.
White is convinced that he has a goot
claim on the chair. The sheriffs sal,
has been postponed from July 10, which
as Mr.. White pointed out, was Sunday
to July 49, The chair Is the only article
out Of all the things seized that the sher
iff has left to sell.

President MeIIen LOOKS TOR Great ProS"
pcrity Next Year.
C. S. Mellen, president Of the Northern
Pacific, has just returned to New York
from the west, and says in regard to the
crops: 49,,
Crop prospects upon the west end Of
the Northern Pacific are about 20 per
cent off as compared with last year. The
crop is now being harvested and may
be said to be out Of reach Of further
damage. >.es.g ~, f... - n.
Notwithstanding the reduction in wheat
tonnage to be moved, the general develop
ment upon the line is such that there will
be a larger increase in earnings, both
gross and net, for the year ending June,
1904, over the year just closed" ~
According to President Mellen there ex-
lists mistaken idea as to the Importance
Of traffic other than wheat in arriving at
the total movement of freight handled by
the western roads in the course Of a year.
Wheat of course, governs the purchas-
ing power of farmers and merchants, but
under normal conditions the percentage
Of reveiue derived by the roads for trans
porting rye, oats, barley, lumber and coal
IS much more profitable than that secured
from the movement Of the farmers stple

QUICK TIME FOR FREIGHT
Five Days From New York by Lackawa'
ma and C. G. w.

Five Days From New York by Lackawan-
ma and c.. G. w.
Five days from New York is the rec
ord made for package freight by the Lack
awanna and Great Western roads. The
new service has been successfully in op-
GRAFTON ten days and has proved remark
ably satisfactory to the patrons Of the
thru line, and it demonstrates the adj
vanced stand taken by the Lackawanna
and its western connection.
The quick time is secured by teamine
across Chicago. When the goods arrive
in that city they are at once turned ovel
to a transfer company which makes the
haul across the city, thus saving a day
consumed by the old method of switching
over the Chicago transfer. Car loads, O.
course, are brought thru in the old way
The packages arriving about 1 p. m. II
Chicago reach the Great Western and art
ready to be sent out by p. m. 3.

NOT A PUBLIC INN
Private Liquor Cure Institute Can't Hold
Debtor Under Public Inn

Judge Holt of the municipal court holds
that a private sanatorium is not public
inn and that If a patient jumps his board
bill he is not anenable under the law
which makes it misdemeanor to leave
a hotel without paying the board bill.
This ruling was made yesterday when
George Hudson was arraigned for leaving
the Murray institute without paying for
several weeks board. The defendant did
not deny that he left the place without
settling his BILL but held that the institute
was not a public inn and not included
within the law.
