Miraculous as it may seem, we
have found a way to cure epilepsy, or
falling fits. 1t is Elixir Kosine, the
discovery of a well-known Washing
ton scientist. and we have so much
faith in it that we guarantee to re-
turn the patients money if it does
not cure this disease, which has hith-
erto been considered incurable.
Elixir Kosine gives instant relief
from the terrible epileptic fits and
spasms, and makes an absolute and
lasting cure, no matter how severe
the case or how many doctors have
pronounced it incurable.
Do not despair. Elixir Kosine is a
scientific remedy for the cure Of cpl.
lepsy CT fits. It is not recommended
for any other disease, but is guar.
anteed to cure this terrible affection
Price, $3.50. Mail orders filled.

have there been two more enjoyable con-
certs given than those Of yesterday after
noon and evening. There was the usual
large crowd that always goes to Harriet
on the Fourth of July, and in the evening
this was augmented by many of the au
tom obilists, whose steeds would not take
fright at the fireworks. In the evening.
too, the roof garden was thronged with
people, anxious to hear the music and see
the fireworks. 1t would be difficult to
say which program occasioned the most
enthusiastic applause, altho the automo-
bile horns in the evening added much to
the audible signs of approval.
This evening the park band will again
be heard in a charming program, includ-
ing excerpts from "Winsome Winnie" and
Sousa's musical curiosity, "The Three

WAS NEARLY DEAD
Woman's Persistence Saved Life of Boy

Woman'S Persistence saved Lie or Soy
Rescued from Harriet. ... r.
Albert Harvey, 2724 Third avenue S,
owes his life to mans heroism and
wOman's persistence. s
Harvey was bathing at the Lake Har-
riet pool yesterday afternoon when he was
thrown from a raft in nine feet of water.
Being unable to swim well, he went to the
bottom. His companions vainly tried to
get him out, when r. M. De Merse, the
guard on duty at the swimming pool
plunged into the water and went to his
rescue.
The boy struggled fercely, and when
De Merse came near him, clutched the
swimmer tightly and the two went to the
bottom. There De Merse succeeded in
loosing the drowning lads hold and
brought him to the surface and later to
the shore.
Young Harvey was unconscious. Efforts
were made to resuscitate him, but they
appeared e~be in vain. The lad was pro-
nounced dead, but woman, attached to
the culinary department of the pavilion
insisted that there was spark Of life
and asked that the work be continued
A few minutes later the lad revived.

Sheriff Dreger Says City Should Care for
Inebriates.
The arrest iand Incarceration IN the
county Jail Of a man named Erickson, be-
lieved to be suffering from delirium tre-
mems. brought up the mooted question Of
the sheriff's obligation to accept prisoners
thus afflicted. Sheriff Dreger refused to
accept Erickson, but upon the presenta-
ton Of a warrant and an order from Court
Commissioners Dougherty he took the man
in charge. In speaking Of the matter this
morning the sheriff said:
THE Jail is not a proper place for de-
llirium tremens sufferers. The city council
should make provision for taking care Of
these cases in detention hospital, at
least until they can be taken into the pro-
t bate court for an examination as to their
i sanity. The sheriff is allowed only one
deputy for night work at the jail, and this
!. is entirely Inadequate for the regular work
to say nothing Of the extra work Of car
ing for men who should be in a hospital
land under medical treatment.

Palace Makes 10000 Youngsters
Happy.

Bright and early Tuesday morning
the Minneapolis school children came
trooping to the free distribution Of
Carnival tickets at The Palace Cloth
ing House. Smiling faces and the
frank appreciation shown marked this
as one of the greatest boosts any local
amusement enterprise has ever had;
the offer was such as has never been
made by any other local concern. A
19-piece Brass Band added to the en-
ployment Of this occasion.
During the past 2 years The Palace

FEW GO FROM HERE
Not Many MinneapoIltans Will Attend the
Rosebud Reservation Opening.

Whether the charm Of the Rosebud res
ervation country has not been sufficiently
heralded In this part Of the country, or
whether Minneapolis people are satiated
with land acquisitions, is not evident, but
the prodigious advertising done by the
railroads which reach the South Dakota
reservation are not getting due returns
from the country tributary to Minneap-
oils.
The Omaha road, which reaches Bone
steel, s. D., does not average over six
tickets day sold, and those are chiefly
to outsiders. Minneapolis itself is not
furnishing much traffic to either the
Omaha or the Milwaukee road.
