WHEN WILL ''OUR BILL" GET one?
Attorney General Young Tells Mayor
of New U|m Where to Head In.

Edward T. Young, attorney gen.
eral, has sent an ultimatum to the
mayor of New Ulm, telling that Off
cial that the lid must go on the
town hereafter on Sundays or the
mayor will find himself facing an
action for his removal from office.
Under date of August 20 the At.
torney General wrote the New Ulm
mayor as follows:
"Hon. Charles Silverson, mayor,
New Uim, Minnesota:
"Dear Sir:-I am advised by resi-.
dents of your city that the saloons
are allowed to remain open and to
carry on their business on Sunday.
"It is necessary to call your atten-
tion to the fact that it is your duty
as mayor to cause the laws of the
state, relating to the regulation of
the liquor traffic. to be enforced in
your city. Under the same law it is
my duty to cause the removal of
municipal officers who wilfully
neglect to enforce such liquor laws.
"It is entirely likely that there are
a large number of good people in
your city who do not regard this
law favorably, but they must bear
in mind that they are part of the
state and they should not permit
themselves to be put in false light
by either encouraging or counte-
nancing the violation of a valid
state law. If each community were
allowed to choose which of our
state laws it would violate and
which it would obey, there would
be an end to all government. Our
only safety lies in the impartial en-
forcement of all our laws, and I do
not believe that the people of your
city want to be classed among those
who would show disrespect for, or
defy the authority of, the state.
"The saloons of your city must
close and remain closed on Sunday,
the same as they do elsewhere in
the state, and unless am advised
that you cause this to be done
henceforward will be compelled
to exercise the power conferred on
this office in the premises.
"Kindly let me hear from you.
"Yours truly,
"Edward T. Young,
"Attorney General"

AT the meeting of the city council

Alderman Owens submitted a ver-
bal report, through the mayor, of
their actions as special committee
appointed for the purpose of pur-
chasing fire team, the report
showing that they had been to
Carlton and Duluth, at which latter
place they bought, through L.

horses for the purpose designated.
The price for the team is $3.50 and
the expense of the special COM
mittee was $40.
For the price named Hammel &
Co. will guarantee the team for a
period of six months. They will
also furnish drop harness for the
use of the city until such time as
John Horkey, who has the contract

The team arrived in the city Mon

nice looking span of horses. They
we're placed in the fire hall Wed

them for the work ahead is now in
progress.
The question of disposing of the

missabe Traction Co. Turned Dow


BY a practically unanimous vote
the village council of the Village
of Hibbing, on Tuesday evening.
declared against the adoption of
the franchise granting the Missabe
Traction Company street car privi-
leges in that balliwick.
The franchise presented for adop-
ton was one framed by the Traction
Company, being practically dup
licate of the franchise granted the
company by the Virginia city
council.
The Northern Traction Company
has franchise for Hibbing, and
while but a limited amount of
actnal work is in evidence on their
right-of-way between the two towns
it is said the company has thus far
invested some $4,000 and the Hib.
bing council feels like fostering a
home industry 80 long as that in
dustry shows up in right shape.

FilinQ Time Nearly 10.

The time for the filing of motions
for the trial of causes at the Sep.
tember term of district court will
close early the coming week.
The Enterprise draws special at
tention to this fact, that a certain
resident of Virginia who has made
known his intentions of attempting
to obtain judgment for $4,000
against the editor may not overlook
the date for filing his motion for a
trial of the cause, if he so desires.

Trimmed EN- Both Games.

The games between the Virginias
and the st. Paul Gophers at the 10.
cal park on Saturday and Sunday
last resulted in the defeat of the
home team in each game, on Satur.
day by score of Is to 2and on Sun
day by score of too.
The latter game was a peach all
the way through, and while the Vir.
ginias failed to score they have
naught of which to feel ashamed in
holding the visitors down to the
point indicated.

STRIKE BREAKERS Refuse TO STICK.
4 Crowd of Workmen Brought Ia Wed
nesday Join the Strike forces.

A special on Wednesday after
noon brought in several hundred
workmen from the east for the
Oliver company, but some two hun
dred who we're left at this point,
after sizing up the situation and
getting line on the fact that there
is or has been a strike in the com.
pany's mines, refused to go to work,
and were taken in tow by members
of the local Federation, escorted to
the Socialist Hall and sent on their
way rejoicing - or otherwise-the
following morning.
Leaders of the men brought in
claimed to have contracts signed
by the agency through whom they
were employed stating that there
was mo strike" and on these
grounds it is given ont that some
of those brought here will attempt
to collect wages and damages.
Others in the party were taken to
other range points and placed to
work, but the crowd that dropped
off in this city left the following
morning on the Great Northern,
being piloted to the depot by a
large number of the striking Firms.
While the Finnish element is
recognized by the business men
OF the range as desira ble class OF
labor, it is thought more than
likely that the present trouble will
be the entering wedge in a move to
permanently fill their places in the
range mines with other classes OF
labor.

The Evolution of
Household Remedies

The modern patent medicine bust.
ness is the natural outgrowth Of tie
old.time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bit.
tiers, iaxatives and tonics, we're to be
found in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the fam
lily doctor. Such remedies as picra,
which was aloes and quassia, dissolved
in apple brandy. Sometimes hop
tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bit
ter barks. A score or more of popular,
homemade remedies were thus COM
pounded, the formulate for which were
passed along from house to house,
sometimes written, sometimes verbally
communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old time custom. In the begin,
ming. some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one Of
these homemade remedies, would take
it UP, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE.
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one Of these
old time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, Of Pennsylvania, before il
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM.
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men.
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed il
for his neighbors and his patients. The
sale of it increased, and at last he es
tablished mandatory and furnished
it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in great many eli
matte ailments, such as coughs, colds
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrha
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED TIKI
USE OF PERNUA and its value il
the treatment of these ailments. The,
have learned to trust and believe in DR.
Hartman's judgment, and to rely OF
his remedy, Peruna.

GRAND
JURY
TOLEDO, OHIO, HAS MEN
UNDER INDICTMENT
THEY WENT INTO A COMBINE
TO REGULATE THE
PRICES.

Toledo, Ohio-Ninety-three of the
most prominent men in Toledo's bust.
ness life were indicted on 245 counts
by the grand jury which has returned
its report to Judge Morris. The men
indicted are the members Of the To
ledo Master Plumbers association
numbering 60 persons; "a lumbermen
and nine brickmen. The indictments
are returned for violation of the Val
entine antitrust law and are the re
suit Of an investigation covering q
period of about two weeks.
The National Supply company oil
South st. Clair street Is the only cor
poration indicted. This company deals
ir plumbers and oil we'll supplies and
is accused of having been concerned
In the regulation of prices fixed by the
Master Plumbers association.
The Toledo Brick Supply company
alleged to have been an illegal com
bination Of brick manufacturers in
restraint of trade, is alleged to have
been organized for the purpose of con.
trolling the price of the product OF
local brick manufacturers. Since the
passage of the Valentine antitrust law
it is said to have changed its form
but the prosecutor expects to show
that 1t has continued as a monopoly
Of the brick business locally.
The Toledo lumber dealers bureau
Of credit is charged with being the
controlling organization of the lumber
market, it's members, it is alleged, hav
ing combined to boost the prices OF
lumber at will. Several building con
tractors testified before the grand
jury as to the manner in which its
operations affected them, the manipu
lttion of.the price Of building material
and the cost of construction by the
lumber dealers, brick manufacturers
plumbers and the supply dealers, some
times having ruinous effect upon
their work under contract.
Nobody will be placed under immedi
ate arrest. The prosecutor will give
them a chance to come in voluntarily
plead to the indictments against them
and give bond for appearance for trial
These preliminary measures will be
accomplished within the coming week
and the cases will be assigned fol-
trial later.
