FRIDAY, APRIL /, ro,

With reference to the article, OF
dialogue, written by Mr.. Aver and
published on the first page of this
paper, II Is greatly to be regretted
that a prominent business man
should descend to personalities in
public print over the wet and dry,
or any other question, for that mat
ter, as we feel that every one is en-
titled to his opinions or impressions,
and one person should not abuse or
condemn and censure another for
holding views different from his
own. Mr.. Wood stated to us that
he had no reason or intention Of
getting after Mr.. Aver, but on that
day went down to have talk with
Mr.. p. Autzen, one Of the bank s
directors, on matter of business.
Afterwsrd Mr.. Thos. Autzen in
vited him to look over the new
buildings that we're being con-
structed, and finally they walked
up the railroad track. As they
were about to pass the St. Johns
Lumber Co. s Office, 1t occurred to
Mr.. Wood that as a matter Of
courtesy he would call upon Mr..
Aver, who opened the alleged con-
versation referred to. We utterly
fail to see in what way the two
have a case against each other, and
regret that the matter has gotten
into print. II II does no harm, II
is certain that no good can come Of
It. We published il because II
came to US In the shape Of an adj
vertisment, and since II Is not libel
Gus, as a newspaper catering to the
general public, we had not sufficient
reason for refusing II. II surely
does not, however, inure to the
benefit of the city when a promi-
nent business man takes such petty
methods Of airing his opinions.

SESSION OF THE
CITY DADS
Municipal Affairs Receive
Careful Attention

The sad regular meeting of the
city council found all members and
the mayor present Tuesday even
ing. After the minutes Of the pre-
vious meeting were read and
approved, a petition for the i'm
provement of West Tyler street,
Jersey to Crawford, was read and
resolution adopted authorizing the
preliminary work upon same.
A petition to abate nuisance in
Point View signed by eight or nine
property owners was read. The
nuisance complained Of was num-
Der Of bee hives with their inhabi-
tants that seemed to be making 1t
rather warm for some of the resi-.
dents over that way. Matter was
referred to the police for investiga-
ton.
A petition for the Improvement
of Myers street with dir, grade and
6.foot cement sidewalks was read.
Same was ordered referred back to
the petitioners to ascertain II they
would not agree to placing crushed
rock upon the street and also to
secure waivers II possible from the
corner property owners to prevent
interference with the improvement
Of Fessenden street.
Petition from four draymen ask
ing that no change be made In the
existing drayman license, except
that tags be permitted to be placed
upon harness or vehicles. The
ordinance was ordered changed to
conform with this request.
A communication from the attor-
ney OF the Severance estate pre-
sented a proposition OF settling the
tie-up Of Richmond street extension
by the payment Of Saoo over what
the viewers allowed in their report.
Attorney Collier stated that M. l.,
Holbrook agreed to pay half Of
this amount, leaving 500 to be
paid by the city. Owing to the
fact that the cost Of threshing the
affair through the courts would In
all probability exceed this amount,
aud much time would be consumed
thereby, the attorney advised set
tling on this basis. The matter
was delayed until a written agree
mcnt from Mr.. Holbrook could be
secured.
Bills to the amount Of Sits
were allowed.

POISON IN MIDDLE AGES.

In the middle ages so little was known of
toxicology that all sudden or mysterious
deaths were attributed to poison. but in the
light of modern knowledge many of these are
now easily explained by such diseases as ap-
pendicitis or gastric ulcer. Even the Borgias
can be absolved from many of the poisonings
laid to their charge. Nevertheless, SAYS the
British Medical Journal, from very early times
in Italy poison was favorite means of remov-
ing an enemy. In England. France and Ger
many cruder methods of vengeance prevailed
and 1t was not until the sixteenth century
that the Medici introduced poisoning into
France. The fashion spread with terrible rap
idity and poison was employed in every rank
of society to get rid Of inconvenient persons.
The art introduced into France by Catherine
de Medici and her followers took root SO
deeply as to blossom later into the black
magic Of Louis XIv.'s reisn.

THE WONDERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY
Has Proved q Great suecess-Thou.
sands Say It's the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.

The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the well-known
Scotsman Of Floral Park, N. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say It
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and a marvellous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment Station says it fruits
abundantly even in pure sand. In the
short season of Northwestern Canada
1t Is godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
d. S. Hall, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
X. S. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
1t yields $3.50 worth of fruit per
acre with him. Mrs. ]. H. Powers.
4732 Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on a space 4x10 feet
to supply herself and friends.
j. P. Swallow. Kenton, Ohio, says its
equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
Cal, says he likes the berries served
in any and every way
w. T. Davis. Enon, Va, says 1t is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of u. S. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is simply
delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 10,375 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands the long, hard
droughts of that climate and fruits
Rbundantly all summer.
1t is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
ever introduced.

it is still true that Lincoln may have died at
the right time for his imperishable fame. He
had conducted an immense nation through the
most tremendous civil war ever waged and
never committed single serious mistake. He
did not possess Hamilton's brilliant genius.
but Hamilton never saw the future more sa-
gaciously He made no pretensions to Daniel
Webster's magnetic oratory, but Webster
never put more truth in oratorical form for
popular guidance. He possessed Benjamin
Franklins immense common and that
twenty-five address on the battlefield of Get
tysburg is the hgh-water mark of American
sententious eloquence. 1t is fitting that after
such career his own life should be the last
to be lost in that stupendous struggle. He had
called over 100000 heroes to lay down their
lives, and then his own life was laid down be-
side the humblest private soldier or drummer
boy of Gettysburg or Chickamauga."

their guest and throughout his remaining life
numbered them his stanchest friends. He
often descanted the sound counsel and sis
terly care bestowed upon him by Mrs Speed.
Although he became at this time one of
the foremost statesmen of Illinois. his pre-
vious experience caused him to doubt his
own heart. He became engaged to Mary Todd.
