DECISION AGAINST HEARST
Court of Appeals Declares New York
Recount Act Unconstitutional.

Albany, N. Y, Nov. 20.-William
Randolph Hearst cannot attack the va
lidity of George B. McClellan's elec-
tion in November, 1905, to the office
of mayor of New York, under the pro-
visions Of the so-called recount bill
passed by the legislature last winter.
The court of appeals has unanimously
declared the act unconstitutional; but
in its opinion points out that Hearst
has still sufficient remedy in the quo
warranto suit now pending.
The court finds the act unconstitu-
tional on three grounds:
First, in that it provided for an
original canvass of the ballots cast at
the 1905 election by others than the
bipartisan boards Of canvassers pre-
scribed by Article 6 of Section 2 of the
constitution.
Second. in that as judicial deter.
mination OF title to office it fails to ac.
cord Mcclellan his constitutional right
to trial by jury.
Third, in that implies the right Of
the legislature to legislate a man into
office

STOPS ANY ITCHING
Doan's Ointment Cures Eczema and
Itching Piles. Mankato People
Recommend It.

One application OF Doan's Ointment
stops any itching. Short treatment
cures eczema, itching piles, salt rheum
any skin eruption or skin itching.
1t is the cheapest remedy to use, be-
cause so little of it is required to
bring relief and a cure Here is Man
kato testimony to prove it:
Mrs. j. Jessup, of 40S Poplar street,
Mankato, Mimi, says: 81 consider
Doan's Ointment a most reliable pre-
paration for any itching skin affliction
or eruption, and | have known it to
cure several different cases. A few
years ago one of the members of
our family suffered from a breaking
out or an irritation which we called
rash. 1t burned like fire and the more
it was rubbed the worse it became.
He had been doctoring for it for some
time before we got Doan's Ointment
at j. c. Thros drug store, but the
trouble got worse and worse. When
he applied Doan's Ointment the relief
was immediate and in short time he
was cured. [ recommended Doan's
Ointment some years ago and am glad
to state that L still think highly of
it. 1t is worthy of all the praise l
can give it."

THIS is SAID
TO HELP MANY.

Get from any prescription pharma-
cist the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce !;
Compound Syrup SarasapaA-ia, three
ounces.
Shake well ina bottle and take a
teaspoonful dose after each meal and
at bedtime.
The above is considered by an emil
nent authority who writes in New
York daily paper, as the finest pre-
scription ever written to relieve Back
ache, Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder
and all forms of urinary difficulties.
This mixture acts promptly on the
eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, en-
abling them to filter and strain the
uric acid and other waste matter from
the blood which causes Rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the
Affections may not feel inclined to
place much confidence in this simple
mixture, yet those who have tried it
say the results are simply surprising,
the relief being effected without the
slightest injury to the stomach or 9th
er organs.
Mix some and give it trial. 1t
certainly comes highly recommended.
1t is the prescription of an eminent
whose entire reputation is
is said, to be established by it.
A druggist here at home when
asked stated that he could either sup
uly the ingredients or mix the pre-
scription for our readers, also rec
ommends it as harmless.

tracks at Western and University

in the center with great force. Hol-
land and Hervin were hurled in diff

the policemen and carried them to
places of safety.

The glass of the vestibule fell about
the head of the bewildered motorman.
The passengers became frightened and
without waiting for explanations
started to crowd over the rear gates

Of court for failing to pay the ali

Whether he will ever come back and
