ninety nine guilty senators should escape than
that one innocent and highminded senator should
lose his seat by an unjust verdict and faulty utter

from the RialtO Grain and Securities Company any

AS verdict Of guilty on all counts was brought In,
the inference Is that the senator's lawyers cannot

AUDITORIUM PLAN
CONSIDERED BY CLUB
Special Committee viii Make
Report at the Next
Meeting

The directors of the Commercial club
last night took up the offer of George
E. Lennon to contribute to q fund to
build an auditorium for ST. Paul. The
matter had been considered at a for
ner meeting of the body, but owing to
press of business no action was taken.
Last night it came up more formally
and after general discussion was re-
ferred to the committee on conventions
and public banquets.
The committee was instructed to get
all available information on the sub
ject and report to the next meeting of
the board.
The unanimous sentiment of the
members of the body was that some
thing must be done Immediately, That
St. Paul has need of an auditorium was
not even discussed, the members of
the board being a unit on that point
Ii is the intention of the Commercial
club to sound the people of ST. Paul
on their wishes in the matter, and ac-
cording to the instructions issued to the
committee last night that will be the
principal duty Of the committee be-
tween now and the next meeting of
the directors.
The committee consists of J. Harry
Lewis, chairman, j. B. Bemis. H. II.

council to the officials was that the
company should pay into the South st.
Paul treasury the sum of $500 each
year for three years, beginning with
1907, this amount to be increased in
ratio with the increase in population
after 1910. In answer to this PROPOSE
ton General Manager Held promptly
declared the request was away beyond
the pale of reason and that if the coun-
ell were intent upon securing any
money for their village they might as
we'll quit negotiating.
Insists on Time Limit
The council. feeling that they were
giving valuable concessions with little
to show their town folk in payment
therefor, then suggested that the fran
chlse be granted for a term OF only
twenty-five years. Mr.. Held promptly
replied that negotiations would cease
Immediately if the company was not
granted a thirty-four year franchise,
making the life of the franchise in
South St Paul equal in term of life to
the alleged franchise held by the COM
pany in st. Paul proper.
As last hope the council, through
one Of its members. family suggested
That the company might be willing to
enter South st. Paul through some
other street than Concord street, which
is very narrow, and would probably
nave to be entirely given over to the
street railway company If they in
sisted upon using it, which would not
be well, as Concord street is the prin-
cipal thoroughfare in South st. Paul.
Mr.. HELD said that the company would
consider the other routes proposed be-
fore making formal demand for Con-
cord.
The proposed franchise calls for the
acceptance upon the part of the COM
pany within. ten days and the compile
tfon of the line within six months.

WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease

The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of US the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave US our
oally dose OF sulphur and molasses ev-
cry. spring and fall
1t was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cule-all and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit
The idea was good. but the remedy was
crude and unpalatable, and a large ouan-
tity had TO be taken to get any effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial eff
fects OF sulphur in a palatable, concen-
trated form. so that a single grain is far
more e1ective than tablespoonful of
the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and exneri
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
calcium (Caleium Sulphide) and sold in
drug stores under the name. of Stuart's
Calcium Waters. They are small choco
late coated pellets and contain the active
medicinal principle of sulphur in a hiehlv
concentrated. effective form
Few people are aware of the value of
TINS form OF sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health: sul-
phur acts directly on the liver, and excre-
tory organs and purifies and enriches tbe
blood by the prompt elimination of waste
Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall but the crudity and i'm.
purity OF ordinary flowers of sulphur were
often worse than the disease. and cannot
compare with the modern concentrated
preparations OF sulphur of which Stuart
Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the best
and most widely used
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure consultation
and purify the blood in a way that often
surprises patient and physician alike
DR. r. M. Wilkins while experimenting
with sulphur remedies soon found that
the sulphur from Calcium was superior
to any other form. He says: For liver
kidney and blood troubles, especially when
resulting from constipa ton or malaria /
have been surprised at the results OBJ
tanned from Stuart's Calcium Waters. In
patients suffering from boils and pimples
and even deep-Seated carbuncles. 1 have
repeatedly seen them dry up and disap-
pear in four or five days. leaving the skin
clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Cali
cium Waters is a proprietary article and
sold by druggists and for that reason ia
booed by many physicians. yet I know of
nothing so safe and reliable for constina-
ton, liver and kidney troubles and espe-
cially In all forms of skin diseases as this
remedy"
AT any rate people who are tired of
Pills, cathartics and so-called blood .spuri-
fers" will find in Stuart's Calcium Wa
1ers, a far safer, more palatable and ef-
fective preparation.

SOUTH ST. PAUL is
FORCED TO SUBMIT
City Railway Company Insists
on Letter of Original
Proposition

The South ST Paul council came on
junket to st. Paul last evening and
held a two hours conference with the
officials of the Twin City Rapid Transit
company in the offices of the company,
Wabasha street and College avenue.
The street car company absolutely re-
fused TO concede anything to the coun-
Gil and the members returned to their
homes without any satisfaction other
than that the company may possibly
decide to come into the town on some
other street than Concord.
The council, failing in the attempt
to obtain an annual coneessionary pay
ment from the company, dropped this
matter, and failing to satisfy the COM
pany with twenty-five year franchise,
dropped that.
AS the matter finally ended the street
railway company secured the refusal
within ten days of a franchise which
will live for. thirty-four years, if
the city railway company accepts it,
ard for which it will have to pay the
corporate village of South ST. Paul
nothing now or at any other time dur
ing the life of the franchise. The only
thing that the city gained was their
point as to the route. Concord street
was considered too narrow, and il was
decided that the company must use
some other street to enter the village.
Ihree or four possible routes were
named, and the company officials will
go over the proposed routes today for
the purpose Of determining whether
they are willing to content themselves
with the alternatives or will decide to
take Concord street.
Meeting Was Calm
The meeting was altogether a peace
able one. Far away from their clan
FOLK, who have been doing a little die
tating concerning the terms of the
franchise to be given the street railway
company, everything moved smoothly
and at the end of a two hours con-
ference the council members took the
1l:2O o'clock Great Western train
homeward bound
The first provision suggested by the
