vireioian Awarded CITY pfjotjoa.

AT the meeting of the city coun.
Gil Tuesday evening all members
we're present with the exception OF
Alderman Johnson.
The first matter brought up by
the president was the city printing
contract. A resolution introduced
by Alderman Byrne and supported
by Alderman Mesberg providing
that the Virginian be designated as
the official pa per and given all city
printing at the rates allowed by
law, was passed by unanimous
| vote.
The question of repairing or re.
building the bridge across the
narrows between the lakes was
brought up by Alderman Mesberg
and referred to the proper COM
mittee. The condition of this
bridge is reported unsafe, and if
work on same is to be done it
should be done before the ice goes
out.
The clerk read communication
relative to the supplies asked for
by the fire department., and the
matter was referred to the com
mites, with instructions to price
some of the goods with the home
merchants and to purchase same
here if equal prices could be had.
Report was made that liquor was
smuggled into the city Jail, and ac-
ton was taken to provide screens
$50 that friends of the unfortunate
inmates cannot pass bottles of Joy
to them.
The absence of the city attorney
from the meeting doubtless &C.
. counted for no action or discus.
sion of the street railway franchise
the city attorney having the re.
quests for franchise by the Mesaba
Traction Company and the North.
. ern company in his possession.

Young Coiored Men Should Take

The day has come and the time
is opportune, for we. the young
colored men, to take front rank

and especially so in the moral
and Industrial lines. We should
become students of economy n
it's broadcast sense. We should
strive to own property and learn
the trades. We have great need
of tradesmen and girls who can
cook a digestable dinner and
make correct fitting dress and
hat. We also need men and wo-
men with some literary training,
able to write for magazines and
papers and to write hoods that
will sell. Our young people are
too much carried away with
funny things''-whenever you
say minstrel every Negro boy
is eager to play part. This
species OF pleasure is all right in
it's place, but it should not be the
paramount and s'transcendent''
goal of all of us.
Let us also take to literary
programs which evolves are
courses to be evolved, something
noble and aspiring. How de-

Gus Of existing and wearing gay

all, but it is abominable to the
extreme to see so much of it
go off the streets and work, for

art to eat bread. Let us make
war against idl ness, for it is
great crime and the stampeder of
our progress here and elsewhere,

Speak Against Intemperance.

The presidents Of the various
qnorums and associations reported
their organizations in good working
order President Isaac Smith, of the
stake presidency, and Elder Joseph
Cowley, OF Logan, were present and
highly commended the people for the
unity that existed, and the good work
being done. The subject of intemper-
ance and the using Of intoxicating
liquors was the principal theme Of
each speaker, and they handled it
without gloves. The evils arising
therefrom were plainly shown and
the down fall OF several bright young
men was traced to their indulgence in
the social cup.
The great majority Of Hyde Park
citizens are ever ready to do all they
can TO squelch this rising evil. Thus
far we rejoice in the fact, that no
saloon exists in our little town.
While we have a few tiplers in our
midst, the most Of our men, young
and old, are sober, industrious people.

The following news from the New
York Herald Is interesting: Last
year postoflice inspectors arrested lol
postmasters. 40 assistant postmasters,
G5 clerks in postoilices, 10 railway
postal clerks, ~ letter carriers, 70
mail carriers and 10 employed in
minor positions in the mail service,
for stealing money from letters"
From the above facts and statistics
you will see that it is very unsafe to
send money in letter. Never do so
unless you register the letter. The
safest plan is to remit by check, bank
draft, express or money order, for II
one Of these forms is lost or stolen,
you can get duplicate at no addi-
tional cost to you, and thus you can't
lose anything. DO not send currency
unless you register you letter and take
a receipt from the postmaster.

stories that have been appearing in
hundreds OF different newspapers OF
the country, says the Ouray Herald.
That the daughter of common
American cannot go calling on lady
friend without half column being
devoted to the style OF her dress, her
carriage and the small talk Is sufficient
proof that all the fools are not yet
dead, even in the newspaper business.
There seems to be desire on the part
of the larger newspapers TO cater to
the inmates of the insane asylum in
their descriptions of the approaching
marriage. Every change possible, the
same stories are republished until the
whole thing pals on the minds of the
people. Roosevelt will undoubtedly
be fully as glad to have the affair over

Deafness can not be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by cattarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

ars free.

Luxury and Crime.

A recent English robbery case
which reads almost like one of the
Sherlock Holmes stories related to the
detection of thief through his fond
ness for flowers.
The only clew left by the robbers
OF house near Northampton was
fragment Of "a flower, whose petals
were scattered over the floor. No
flowers of the same sort we're grown
in the garden of the house robbed or
by the neighburs, but an investigation
of the floral shops in the nearby town
showed that flower of that sort had
been purchased the evening before by
man who was recognized from the
description given to be a well known
burglar.
At the trial it was shown that, al
though the night had been warm, the
thief, who was of delicate health, had
worn light oyercoat which crushed
the petals of the flower beneath, and
these had fallen to the carpet when
he had opened his coat to stow away
the jewels which constituted the great.
er part of the spo.ls.
Although the clew was a slight one
1t was correct and the luxury loving
crook will have no need OF flowers
10 decorate his broad arrow su.t for
some time TO come.

This story is told of Judge Hoar OF
Concord Mass, who was attending

profusely decorated with lilies, and
conspicuous among the beautiful white
flowers was one large rose. A lady
sitting next to the Judge remarked
upon the peculiar selection Of that one
flower, and the judge said, quietly:

service, for there was but one rose
