 The hotel clerk says:
 Having clerked in hotels from New

 on for integrity. will result in a testi-
 lonial from me influencing a large num-
 Ter of my acquaintances who are unfor 'inately victims of the curse of drink to eek relief through your treatment, which
 as restored me to health, happiness and life of usefulness.
 q early acquired a thirst for drink, and 'yent from bad to worse, until l was rinking from five (5) to twenty 120) rinks per day, and had been drunk for wo solid years, when my employer in St. Louis hotel said to me: Simpson. |here is a man boarding in this hotel |sho was as bad a drunkard as you are; |e was engaged to be married and did lot care to assume such a responsibility |ghile still drunkard. As a result he Investigated and took the James Treat |nent for Drunkenness, and Is now @ |ured man.

My heart, liver and kid leys were all affected, and I was so ner 'ous I could hardly do my work. I squan tered my entire wages for drink and when I had money would invite every body to drink with me. Oftentimes dur ng the night I would drink a gallon of ee water, and undergo the most excru 'iating pain. I would never undertake my task of importance without first tanking up.
 T am glad to say that the James Treatment has not only cured me of my unfortunate whskey addiction, but has Ilso cured me of the horrible mental and physical condition in which I had been eft by another treatment. l sleep well, njoy fine appetite, my nerves are in plendid condition. my head is clear, my hind is active and I feel better than I lave for years, and above all l am with ut craving, demand or necessity for al- oholic stlmulants of any character what oever and can do more hard work than 'ver before in my life.

No person need to be out Of work In
Minneapolis. Never has there been
greater demand for male and female
help than at present, and with the
approach of G. A. R. encampment

OF the state free emp mployment bureau,
today. "Last month we secured places
for 1,0l8 persons females and 579
males-and we turned down as many
more applications of persons desiring
to hire either men or women. This
month it is twice as bad and every

WANTED BY POLICE

LEFT STATE.
Autopsy Shows that Stab in Eye with
Umbrella and Not Delirium Tremens
Causes Death-Assailant Phones Hos
pital to Learn Victims Condition
and Then Vanishes,

Every police officer in the twin cities
has been asked to look for John Har-
ris, well-known horse dealer, wanted
for the mortal wounding Of Frank Stat
fer in a fight at First avenue N and
Second street last Saturday.
It was not known positively until
after the autopsy yesterday that the
wound inflicted by the umbrella in the
hands of Harris had caused the man Is
death and until that time a regular
search had not been started.
At first the police thought Staffer
died Of delirium tremens, but the ply
sicians who performed the autopsy now
think the delirium was caused by the
wound in the brain.
Gets Tip on Victim.
Harris called up st. Mary's hospital
by telephone the night before Staffer
died, and being informed that the vic
tim was near death, he left the city
and went to st. Paul. Since that eve
ming he has not been seen, altho for
several years he had appeared at the
horse markets daily.
Police Superintendent Doyle said to-
day that Harris has undoubtedly left
the city and has little hope of finding
him in the state. Harris knew the man
could not live, and had plenty Of time
to leave the state. -. -. ..

CITY'S REVENUE FROM
LICENSES INCREASES

The prediction that the revenues of
the city would be materially reduced
by the hard and fast enforcement Of
the Sunday closing ordinances is not
borne out by the facts. The revenue
from liquor licenses for the first six
months Of 1905, before the lid was put
on, was 100000, and the rebates for
licenses revoked were $4,000, making
a net revenue Of about $212,000. For
the first six months Of 1905 the reve-
nues were $26l, 900 and no rebates, a
difference in favor Of the present year
Of nearly $4,000. Hence, instead Of
losing 100000, as predicted by one of
the local papers, the city is likely to
gain $75 1000 in hard cash.

IN CONFERENCE
WITH Mr.. ARMOUR
A LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE DIS
CUSSING DETAILS WITH PACKER.
Deal for Location Of Plant at New
Brighton Believed to Be Practically
Closed-M. D. Flower, Returning
from Chicago, Declares Decision Is
Not Yet Made.

Definite settlement of the Armour
Packing company's deal is expected this
week. A Minneapolis representative is
at Chicago in conference with Armour
officials concerning certain minor legal
points in connection with the location
Of a manufacturing plant in two coun-
ties, Ramsey and Hennepin.
Serious consideration is not being
given to the South st. Paul location.
It is believed to be true that the loca-
tion Of the Armour plant north OF st;
Paul, instead of south of the city, will
cut down the business Of the plant at
South st. Paul, but more than the
equivalent will be given to the city at
New Brighton. The Armour. plant will
be able to do q larger, business there
superior railroad facilities.
= The agitation to get the plant to
South St. Paul is said to be entirely
in behalf Of single interests and not
for the city itself, as physical condi-
tions at the old site will not allow an
expansion Of the packing business that
is possible near New Brighton.
The South st. Paul location is not a
new problem for the Armour people.
Mr.. Armour once owned land across the
river from South St. Paul and used it
for feeding sheep. The fact that he
sold the property is taken as an indica-
tion that he has never intended to utll-
ize Land in that section of the twin
cities in the future.
Still Undecided. Says Flower.
General M. O. Flower, general man
ager of the South St. Paul Union Stock
yards company, interviewed Mr.. Ar
mour in Chicago Monday, and declares
that the matter Of location is still In
the air..
"Mr. Armour assured me that they
were coming up here," said General
Flower today. "He said they would
either go up to New Brighton or put
in plant at South st. Paul. He is
looking up the features for and against
each locality, and says he will decide
it himself, without regard to any infu.
ence from either Minneapolis or St.
Paul. He will decide which location
| will be most advantageous to the com
pany, and will make the decision in q
few days, probably before the 18th. D
| It is understood that General Flower
presented strong Inducements to the
! Armour people in behalf Of South ST.
Paul. He also urged that two live
stock markets so near each other at
New Brighton and South st. Paul would
| kill each other off, while union Of the
Swift and Armour forces at the latter
place would greatly increase its i'm
portance as market.
