said Druggist Wilfred F. Root to one OF

"I am still selling the specific, at
half-price, although l cannot tell how

headache, dizziness, liver trouble, indi-

Confederate Letters Returned.

letter which went astray on a Vir-
ginian battlefield over 46 years ago has
Just been sent to the person for whom 1t
was intended. Mai. Seymour II. Wood OF
St. Adams, who served in the LIST Yer
mont cavalry in the civil war, has mailed
to Mrs. Mildred Michel of Norfork, Va, a
letter taken by Henry c. Pomeroy of st.
I Adams, soldier in the LIST Vermont, from
the effects of confederate soldier, appar-
i emily dead, when the Vermonters made a
charge on the confederate works at Fish
er's Hill, Va, Sept. 90, 1864. The writer
was p. v Harris OF Co. A, 42d Cor 18th,
the address not being perfectly legible)
Virginia, volunteer infantry, Terry's brigade,
Gordon's division, breckenridge corps.
As the letter is dated Sept. %, 1864, it is
evident that il was written the very day
on which the southern soldier was killed.
1t is addressed to Miss Mile Snead.
Lynchburg, Va, now Mrs. Michel, and
to it is affixed a confederate stamp. Mrs.
Michel, who is a widow, is now in charge
OF the linen room of the Norfolk Protes-
tant hospital. Pomeroy lost the letter
soon after the war, but recently it was
found among a collection of war relics.
The Grand Trunk railroad has given
definite notice to other eastern roads of its
intention to stand pat" on the reduced
summer tourist rates which have been
in force during the past two years. In
the opinion OF many eastern passenger
officials this action effectually puts stop
to the plans of some roads to advance the
rates this year. The tourist rates on all
the eastern lines during the last two
years, have been made on the basis Of
fare and third for the round trip, but
at recent meeting OF the Central Pass
enger association IT was proposed to ad-
vance the rates to fare and half.

Outcast Attempts
Happy Land Flight

Down to his last nfckle and with no
hope of future prosperity, James Arm
strong, a Kansas City outcast, reasoned
with himself that life was not worth
while, and he decided to ciroumvent New
Years resolutions by taking a short cut
to happyland. He chose what occurred to
him the most pleasant method of suicidal
flight. At 1850 O'Clock yesterday he
entered the Stars and Stripes saloon at
Thirteenth and Douglas streets and with
last nickel negotiated the purchase OF a
glass of beer. Into the amber fluid he
emptied two ounces of carbolic acid, and
then swallowed the decoetion. The doc
tors at the hospital say he will recover.

Judicial Distrlct,

Nuisance abatement injunction sults
against prOprietprs and real estata owners
o. two disOrderly houses were issued BY
Judge Howard Kennedy yesterday, when
be sustained all the contentious OF the
state and upheld the constitutionality OF
the Albert law, under which the actions
were commenced last June.
T. A. Donahue. attorney for one os the
defendants announced he Immediately will
appeal to the supreme court on the con-
stitutionsl questions.
The suits are those OF the state on the
relation Of County Attorney james p,
English against Antonio LaGrOtta as
prietcr and Joseph Kohlberg as owner
and Minnie Harris as proprietor. T, A,
Donahue represented Kohlberg and Miss
Harris and VIII II. Thompson LaGrotta
and Miss Woods.
Defendants Pay Cost.
Under Judge kenncdy's ruling the costs
Of the actions are taxed to the do
fendsnts. The law itself provides that
property owners who are defeated in
Albert suits shall be assessed a special
tax of $500
The decision permanently enjolns the
defendants. Kohlberg and LaGrotta, from
renting or leasing the properties involved
for immoral purposes and from leasing
any property anywhere In the judicial
district for such purposes. They are not
restrained, however. from leasing for
legitimate purposes either the involved
properties or others. The defendants,
Harris and Woods, are permanently en-
Joined from conducting disorderly houses
anywhere in the judicial district. Kohl
berg is the defendant who viii appeal.
The contentious CT the defendants,
which Judge Kennedy overruled by his
action. were that:
Argument of Defense
The inJunctions should not issue be-
before the suit was commenced and one
was abated before suit came to hearing,
and. therefore, there was nothing to en-
join.
THE actions were in the nature Of
criminal proceedings and the law is un-
constitutional in that II deprives a de-
fendRnt In a criminal case OF trial by
jury.
THE section providing for the $500 spe-
cial tax provides for deprvinE persons
OF property without due process OF law"
Judge Kennedy holds the points on
constitutionality are not well taken and
that the court may eujoin defendants
from wrongdoing in the future as we'll as
from wrongdoing in the present
