Fully Explained by Leading Mem ber of the Profession in Duluth. Continbution No. 2 of the Series. THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. The nervous system may be defined as a wonderfully constructed appara tus, designed to unite and cordlnate the powers and functions of every organ and tissue of the body, and thus enable the individual to main tain a healthful and harmonious re lationship to the external world. Its Main Divisions. This marvelous instrumentality is a two-fold combination. One Is known as the cerebro-spinal system, and consists of (1) the brain and spinal cord and (2) the cranial and spinal nerves. The other is known as the sympathetic system, and consists of (1) a chain of ganglia connected by longitudinal nerve filaments, extend ing on each side of the spinal column, from the base of the skull to the most rudimentary part of the verte bral column, a bone called the coc cyx and (2) the collection of gan glia situated in the head, face, thor ax, abdomen and pelvis, and to which are united a system of inter-com municating nerves, many of which are connected with the cerebro-spinal. system. Officers and Functions. The whole is a very complex ar rangement, and to be methodical I shall discuss each system separately but, as possibly contributing to an easier understanding of so elaborate a subject, let me say in a general way, that the cerebro-spinal system is that which controls or produces all the motions and1 activities of the body and limbs that are subject to the will and commonly called voluntary action, and the sympathetic system is the motive power which gives enuergy, direction and activity to those bodily organs and functions that work independent of our will, and commonly known as involuntary action. There are stages in which the line of demarkation be tween the two functions is not very easy to locate, by reason of intercom municating nerves, but the distinction germane nevertheless. is The Spinal Nerves. Referring to the cerebo spinal sys tem, and more particularly to the spinal nerves, these are thirty-one in number on each side of the spinal cord. Each nerve emerges from the cord by two roots, called, respectively the ventral and the dorsal roots. The ventral roots are also called anterior and the dorsal roots posterior, names determined by the aspect of the cord from which they arise. Near their emergence from the cord the dorsal or posterior roots presents an enlargement called a ganglion. This is a knot or bundle of nerve fib ers embedded in a capsule of con nective tissue. Beyond this ganglion the two roots unite, and become bound together to form a main trunk, which with its innumerable tribu tary branches connects the brain and spinal cord with, all the remaining structures of the body. Functional Classification. A nerve is really a bundle or aggre gation of an infinite number of fibers, each of which is histologically dis tinct and independent. The class of nerves that carry messages or trans mit enrvous energy from the brain or spinal cord to all parts of the body are called efferent, motor, or centri fugal nerves and those which serve for the transmission of messages to the brain and spinal cord and give rise to sensations are called afferent, sensory or centrpital nerves. It has been ascertained by un doubted experiments that the ventral or anterior root of a nerve contains all the efferent or motor fibers, and that the dorsal or posterior root con tains all the afferent or sensory fibers, and that these fibers do not loose their characteristic functions by the union of the roots into one bundle or main trunk. Source of Energy. The spinal cord is but a continua tion or extension of the substance of the brain, and the motor fibers which conduct volitional Impulses from the brain arise in the motor centers of the cerebrum. By a process of the motor tract called "decussation," and too Intricate for discussion here, each half of the brain governs the muscu lar movement of the opposite side of the body, and through a similar pro cess in the sensory tract, each half of the brain governs the sensibility of the opposite side of the body. Distribution of Nerves. The motor nerves or those of vol untary motion are distributed mainly to the muscles and enable us to gov ern them at will. We move our hands, feet head and body in accord ance with the determinations of the will. The sensor or involuntary ner ves are mostly upon the surface of the body, "situated as sentinels upon the outer walls to warn against the approach of all enemies to life and health." So minute are their rami fications that the point of the finest needle thrust through any part of the A WOiniEIIFII SYSTEM. You are cordially invited to caJil any day or evening and see what our students have done in this sys tem since April 9th. Come and visit the classes.

Nature is as Infinite in her littleness as in her greatness. The mlscroscope gives us some idea of the former the telescope of the latter. Constituent of Nerves. When a portion of a nerve is placed beneath a mlscroscope it Is found to be shut up in a smooth shining sheath. When this sheath is broken into the true nerve fibers are revealed, which consist of infinitesimal cubes made of a white substance, and the axis cylinder made of a gray substance. The gray substance is the essential part of the nerve, the actual wire in •this telegraph system, all eise are but like the wrapping of a telephone or telegraph cacle. We don't know what electricity is, but we know how to harness it and use it. In like manner, we don't know what nervous energy or force is. We do know that it is transmitted from the brain and spinal cord to all the organs and structures of the body by means of these nerves, and is indis pensable to health and every bodily activity. Effects of Obstruction. To enable these nerves to perform their functions of conducting nervous energy or impulse from the centers to the periphery, and from the periphory to the centers, they must retain a state of physical and chemic integ rity they must not from pressure, in hibition, obstruction or other cause, undergo any change in structure or chemic composition. If they do and their capacity or voltage-carrying pow er be Inhibited, derangement and dis ease of the organ, muscle or tissue •they were designed to supply will be the inevitable consequence. Methods of Cure. All such derangements and diseases readily yield to chiropractic methods of treatment, because our methods re move the cause or causes and kind nature, the most capable of all heal ers, expeditiously does the rest. Consideration of the sympathetic nervous system will have to be post poned for my next article. DR. A. GRAHAM, Chiropractor, 500 Burrows Bldg, Duluth. New phone 1736-Y. LOCAL LABOR NOTES. President Mahoney Here. Acting President Mahoney of the Western Federation of Miners arrived in Duluth Wednesday, and has opened headquarters In the Manhattan build ing.

Mr. Peters expects to have every union in the city with the assembly before his term of office expires. Haywood Acquittal Pleases. The verdict of the Haywood jury last Sunday morning of acquittal was received with pleasure and satisfaction by all of the members of organized labor. Few in Duluth believed that the Jury would believe the story told by Orchard. WOMEN AND FINES From the New York Sun: The agent from the fire insurance company came to Investigate the claim for damages. He listened to the little woman's tale of how the fire commenced and how she put it out. "Yes, yes, I know," he nodded appre ciatively. "In this business we get to know what tremendous courage and presence of mind you women have. Nearly every fire in New York that does not attain great proportions Is put out by a woman. There are little fires every day that never spread farther than one room of the flat because the woman at home face the danger prompt ly and put them out. In the poorer quarters where both the father and mother are at work it is very often a girl of 12 or 13 who smothers the flames and carries a few scars as the result through life, and in every Instance it is because there are little brothers and sisters to be saved. In the last place I visited It was a girl of 12 who first carried two little ones safely to the hall way and then rush back to pull down the flaming curtains. By the time help came she had the fire almost exting uished. ANTI-CLERICAL OUTBREAK. SPEZIA, Italy, July 31.—A violent anti-Clerical demonstration occurred here tonight, the rioters breaking the door of a church and pillaging It. They piled the chairs and sacred ves sels in the public square and set lire to the pile. The police were beaten, back by the mob, and were obliged to call to their aid the troops who were forced to flee before order was re stored. Ten persons were wounded. LESSON FROM THE PAST. President Lincoln laid down the news paper he was reading and took a turn about the room. "I reckon," he said, with his whimsical smile, "they call me "Honest Abe' to dis tinguish me from the other Abes.". Even then, however, with his accustomed gentleness and consideration, he refrained from specifying whether It was the New York Abe or the San Francisco Abe he had In mind. DIVIDED AMONG HEIRS. CLEVELAND, O., July 31—After years of litigation the estate of Alva Bradley, valued at about $5,000,000, was divided equally among each of ten heirs today.

To Mr. W. J. Olcott, President D., M. & N. Railway Company, Duluth, Minn. My Dear Sir:—As an outcome of the strike matters In the city of Duluth, the responsibility, not only of protect ing the property of the company, but the lives of the individuals, devolves upon me, and I have to request that you maintain, at your own expense, a sufficient number of police guards, not only to protect the property of your company, but the lives of the men who have returned to work, having In mind the possible depredations of un reliable individuals, not responsible frOm this strike at all, but because of the possible influx of vicious charac ters, made desperate from one cause or another, that might commit some vicious act, not only endangering the lives of men that have returned to work, but make it appear that they have been responsible. For this purpose, I will deputize a sufficient number of men to carry out the idea, at your expense, as stated above. There is absolutely no occasion to fear any malicious purpose from those who have so willingly returned to work, but from outside Influences. Very truly yours, (Signed) M. B. CULLUM, Mayor.

From the Baltimore American: While examining the contents of the ordinance storehouse at Fort Mc Henry, Lient. J. L. Holcombe of the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth Coast Artillery discovered several boxes of old hand grenades which are supposed to be more than 100 years old. The missiles are of the earliest make used by the United States gov ernment, and were probably placed at the historic old fort when It was first erected in 1812. Owing to the way in which they were packed the grenades had only the slightest trace of rust upon them. The discovery of the weapons re calls a bit of the ancient history of the country. In explaining their use Lieut. Holcombe said that the gren ades were handled only by the grena diers- of the ship, who, walking out upon the yardarm? of the old fashioned fighting vessels threw them into the ranks of the enemy. An explosion followed which created havoc. They weight about four pounds and are shaped after the fashion of the bombs, used by Anarchists, and are Iron and loaded with gunpowder. Several days after the discovery one of the new recruits at th§ fort was found trying to dry the powder in one of the missiles by roasting it on the fire. A report' was made to Lieut. Watson, in command of the post, who said that he intended to write to the authorities arid ask per mission to dump them in the middle of Chesapeake bay, as. they were so did fashioned that they would be of OPEN REGULAR BANKING HOURS AND SATURDAY EVENING FROM to 8 O'CLOCK.
