HORSES THAT WOULDN'T DROWN
Remarkable Deeds Recorded by Two
Veracious Chroniclers.

An Albanian who has just returned
from the east, where freshets have
been the rule, tells the following about
a horse which had been attached to
foot bridge crossing a brook, to
keep the structure from going adrift.
The flood finally swept horse and
bridge down stream. Later, the
bridge was discovered lodged against
the bank, with the horse sitting quiet
ly on the former.
A bystander who had listened in
tently to this tale, remarked quietly:
81 see suthin, similyar oncet"
Indeed? What was it," asked the
story teller.
Eye see,'' was the reply, ''arter the
boss l see was took down stream, no.
buddy ever 'spected to see him alive
agin. But he was a powful sort O.
brute, an bout hour arterward we

Uncle Georges latest theft was a

he had done the worse he felt About
the middle of the night his wife awoke
and saw uncle still kneeling by the

BLACK, ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE.
Physician Called 1t Eczema in Worst
Form-Patient Despaired of Cure
Cuticura Remedies Cured Her.

about four years ago | was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
and few covering my body, which
produced a severe itching irritation,
and which caused me a great deal of
suffering, to such an extent that l was
forced to call in two of the leading
physicians of --. After a thorough
examination of the dreaded complaint
they announced it to be skin eczema
in the worst form. Their treatment
did me no good. Finally l became de-
spondent and decided to discontinue
their services. My husband purchased
a single set of the Cuticura Remedies,
which entirely stopped the breaking
out. l continued the use of the Cuti-
cura Remedies for six months, and

Saloons to Close at Eleven
O'clock at Night.
MAYOR HAYNES ORDERS 1T
Writes Letter to Ministers in Which
He Acknowledges That Law
Is Mandatory.

Minneapolis, Nov. 5.--Minneapolis sa
looms were closed at eleven o'clock last
night in pursuance of an order issued
by Mayor Haynes, who did so at the
urgent demand of committee from
the ministers association of this city.
The mayors letter to the Mime
apolis ministers read as follows:
''W. B. Riley, Henry Holmes, w. H.
Jordan, members of the ministerial
committee: Reverend Sirs: Your COM
munication of the lst instant, demand
ing the enforcement of the state law
requiring all saloons to be closed at
IL p. m., was duly received, and
your publicity purpose to institute I'M
parchment proceedings against myself,
unless such demand was granted has
also been noted.
'You admit that this provision of
the law has not commonly been en-
forced, but you fail to state why it
has been ignored. The fact is that
in the year 1889 the city council pass
ed an ordinance requiring saloons to
close at midnight, and every admins
tration from that day to this has fol-
lowed the ordinance, Notwithstanding
the fact that the state legislature in
1873 passed general law applicable
to all villages and cities alike re-
curing all saloons to close at IL
O'Clock p. m. l assume that my prede-
cessors in office, like myself, preferred
to follow the ordinance for the reason
that it presumably expresses the will
of the people of this city, until re-
pealed or amended in conformity with
the state laws, and for the further
reason that the strict enforcement OF
any rule which is opposed to public
sentiment renders all police admins
trations extremely difficult.
However,, [ conceive that while the
ordinance is far more practical and
satisfactory in it's operation than the
state law, still the latter in the tech
meal sense is supreme, and that the
humblest citizen has the right to in
sist upon its enforcement. The SUI
preme court of this state has recently
passed upon this very question in the
case of State VS.. Robinson, mayor
of ST. Cloud, and upheld the right
of any citizen to compel the mayor to
enforce the state law, regardless of
the ordinances of the city.
1T seems scarcely necessary to say
that | fully recognize my duty as
mayor of this city to obey the man.
date and to enforce all laws and or
dinances, as respectively as the limited
police force at my command will per-
nit This is in obedience of my
oath of office, which l propose to keep.
Il now advise you, that 1 have this
day issued my official order to the
superintendent of police, directing him
to cause all saloons and bars in the
city of Minneapolis to close at IL p. m.
each night and to remain closed until
) o'clock a. m. the following day, that
order to take effect from and after this
date. Copies thereof have been handed
to the press. Yours truly, J. c.

WANTS INQUIRY BOARD|
CONGRESSMAN SEEKS LIGHT
ON FINANCES.
Claims the Sub-Treasury System Is
Bad, His Views on the Matter
Set Forth.

Washington, Nov. There is much
Indignation in eastern cities over a
statement MADE by Congressman
Thomas SHINING of Tennessee. Mr..
Simms is one Of those statesmen, who
are looking for s'mare's nests" and he
wants to make politics out of the
present fnancials situation by introduc
ing in congress, y resolution of inquiry
relative to Secretary of Treasury
Cortelyou's right to release a large
amount of impounded money, in or
der to relieve a strained financial
situation.
Mr. Simms is not likely to have a
cOrporals guard to vote for his resolu-
ton, in fact it is expected that BY
the time congress meets on December
l, the treasury balance will be up to
the usual amount and business con-
ditions back to their normal condition
again.
Under the existing statutes, many of
which date away back to the time
when the Unitetl States sub treasures
were established, the United States
treasury has: always played an impor-
tant part in the financial centers of
the country.
The subtreasury system which inn
pounds large amounts of coin and cur
rency and keeps it from circulation, is
to some extent responsible for short
age in the money volume. If the sub
treasury system is right at all, then
Minnesota should have one located in
the Twin Cities, but every time that
attempts have been made to establish
one in the northwest there has been
much opposition on the ground that
it is an old and antiquated system.
At Baltimore there is sub treasury.
another at Philadelphia and another at
New York, where a force of employees
are kept on the pay roll for the pur-
pose of boarding away government
funds, which legitimately belong in cir
culation.
The only thing that has prevented
successful efforts to abolish the SUBJ
treasury system entirely, is the policy
of the treasury department, which was
first adopted by Secretary Lyman J.
Gage, during AfKinley's administra
ton. of extending the number of
United States repositories to all the
large cities.
Later Secretary Shaw extended the
government deposits to many smaller
cities like Mankato, Albert Lea, ETC.,
in Minnesota
About the only practical use of a
sub treasury is that clean paper money
can be obtained on short notice in
place of rotten, diseased and mutilated
bills. But even this could be avoided
by the establishment of redemption
agencies in every state capital of the
Union.
