of the city.
The board yesterday ordered Mar
ket Master Frank Smedley to pro-

matter on the street at the market
house.

received from the residents and
property owners along that street of
hucksters throwing refuse matter in
the streets and instead of making

master will hereafter warrant them.
The board also instructed Engi-
neer Washington to- report if MIR.

RASCALS ABROAD.
People should Beware of Swindlers'
Say the Police.


There are various swindlers abroad
according to information received
by the police, but the newest is a
man who represents himself as a
city official and attempts to collect
dog tax, and in an instance or two
has attempted to make builders of
houses pay a dollar for a building
permit before proceeding farther on
house.
The dog tax swindle seems to be
the easiest The tax is So on male
and IS on female dogs, with a pen
atty of 10 per cent. The man car
ries receipts already filled out and
offers to deduct the 10 per cent pen
atty If the tax is paid. So far as
known the impostor has not sue
ceeded in fleeing anyone.

The sale Of the preparations is now
phenomenal in this city, and an esti-
mate made today seems to indicate be-
You'd all doubts that it will equal the
large figure reported by the May com
pany Of Pittsburg, during the thirty
days Mr.. Cooper was in that city.
The Preparations have now been on
sale in Minneapolis-22 days, and have
averaged 30 far about one thousand bot
ties per day sold in Minneapolis. When
the amount of medicine disposed of
throughout the state by the mail order
department is added to this, the amount
will be double. Therefore this young
man has sold in 20 days, about forty
four thousand bottles Of these prepara-
lions in the state Of Minnesota alone,
which is truly a remarkable record.
During the past week hundreds upon
hundreds Of Minneapolis people have
been calling to express unboqnded graft
tude for what these preparations have
done. It is safe to say that an i'm
mense amount of good has been accom-
plished by these medicines among the
sick Of this city.
Mr.. Cooper is to be congratulated on
a success which no one can begrudge,
for it seems to be richly deserved. When

will have made host of friends in this
city who are staunch admirers of this

The. question of what is Indian

In the Funk case was to have judicial
opinion on that question, just as other
laws governing Indians and relation to
whites have been decided by the SUI

decision, in which it was held that an
Indian was ward Of the nation, and in
the Hef case, in which it was decided
by one Of the lower courts that an In

zen, and that the law prohibiting the
sale of liquor to an Indian did not ap-
ply to an allottee. So we want this

courts. I shall favor carrying a case
