Tlic Grippe Responsible for More Deaths Alter Recovery Than Dur ing Its Course— How to Avoid the Dancer. Grippe, in itself, is bad enough, debilitating enough, but it is the after effects, the slow ness of recovery, that give it its great danger. In most cases, the person aid not have suffi cient vitality to rally after the disease itself had passed. The forces of nature were too •weak to contend with the debility which the Grippe had left. It is sad to think bow many people have died who might have been saved if nature had been properly assisted and fortified after the Giippe had been driven from the system. Many physicians realized this fact, and as sisted their patients over the dangerous after effects by bracing up and stimulating their systems. This was. and can be done in but one way, and that is by the steady and mod erate use- of some pure yet powerful stimu lant. There is but one absolutely pure and medicinal stimulant known to the profession and to the public, and that is Duffy's Pure Malt Wniskey. The most prominent scien tists and physicians of the land indorse its purity and value. It is not a new whiskey. If has been before the public for years. His not a cheap decoction.but a pure distillation. It imparts a tone to the system possible in no other manner, and sends the blood coursinir through the veins with renewed vigor. It is •uperior in every respect, and however much any unscrupulous druggist or grocer may seek to lead you to believe to the contrary, do not be deceived. WAR DECLARED AGAIN Rollins and Rinker Are Again Openly Arrayed Over the Pumps. Rinker Says He Won't Testify, and Rollins Will Try Co ercion. Discharged Workhouse Em ployes Make a Kick to the C. and C. Board. Burglars Move Out a Whole Tailor Shop— Hurrle Found Guilty. The recalcitrance of Engineer Rinker, who had been summoned to appear be fore ttie committee on pump investiga tion, prevented that body from transact ing any business yesterday. Mr. Rinker had said that lie would not Ie present, and persistently kept bis word. Chair man Rollins and Aldermen Hunter and Kiichli were the only members on hand. It was supposed tnat the mass of testi mony obtained in the former meetings would be gone over carefully, but Mr. Rinfcer's dcii and the non-appearance of Aid. Rradish evidently interfered with the chairman's plan for developing additional testimony, as he ordered an indefinite adjournment. It is the inten tion of the chairman to bring Mr. Rinker before the committee if he can be le gally compelled to testify, whether tint gentleman will or no. "The city attor ney will be instructed as to Mr. Kinfeer's behavior, and the committee will douot less be governed by his direction in the matter. Chairman Rollins spent some time yesterday afternoon in trying to see City Attorney Kussell. but being unsuc cessful, finally decided to wait until 1.1 --day to Ihv the matter before him. Speaking on the subject to a Globe representative last evening, Aid. Rollins said: "I propose before this investigation goes any further, to find out what Mr. Kinker's refusal amounts to, and whether there is not some way to compel him to appear before us. "When 1 introduced, in the council, the motion under which tliis investiga tion has been conducted 1 was not af;er anybody nor did I accuse anybody of wronif doing. 1 simply warned to get at the truth in regard to those pumps, and that is what the commit toe has been working for all this time. "We cannot, however, get at the truth if the city officials are sroing to throw every possible obstacle in our way and refuse to act with us and fur nish us with the information which we require. 1 think Mr. Rinker has taken a mistaken attitude in this matter from the first, and in view of what has trans pired I think his conduct of today was particularly ill-advised. His position would lead persons not fully acquainted with the facts in the case, to believe that he has something to conceal." Mr. {linker's refusal to appear before the committee is due to the fact that lie was not allowed to examine witnesses durine the investigation. This privilege he was denied as early as the third or fourth session by Chairman Rollins.who stated as his reason that Mr. Rinker was not a member of the committee. Later in the Investigation, while Engi neer Tweedie was on the st. nd. Rinker again applied for permission to Intro duce a little cross-examination, and it was granted until it was tound that he wanted to touch upon a certain letter from Tweedie. which was published ; n one of the daily papers, and which formed part of a lively newspaper con troversy between these two gentlemen. Then Rinker was azain sidetracked — this time by Aid. Hunter, who insisted that the Rinker-Tweedie inibro«iio should be settled outside the committee. At that time, Rinker, in angry tones, declared that he was "through with tne committee,and would have nothing fur ther to do with it," but the members regarded this declaration as a bluff, and did not attach much importance to it until it was reiterated in unmistakable terms yesterday. Upon being questioned yesterday, Mr. Rinker saidf "I am ready and even anxious to make a statement in regard to this matter, but 1 shall not make it before the committee I shall go to the council, where, I think I will receive fair treatment. "When I first went into this investi gation 1 was assured by members of the committee thßt 1 would be allowed to examine witnesses, but before things had proceeded very far this privilege was denied me. and invidious remarks as to my relations with the Worthing ton people were made by members of thecommittee. I was denied an oppor tunity to set myself right in tiiis mat ter, and feel that I have been unfairly treated. 1 shall positively decline to appear again before the committee, but shall go to the council for justice." The leeal phase of the question does not appear to be clearly, defined. City Attorney Kussell could not be found yesterday afternoon, and had he been it is doubtful if he would have given an opinion off-hand, as the point involved is a very nice one. A prominent attor ney, asked to express an opinion upou the case yesterday, said : "As far as the powers of the commit tee are eoncerued, Mr. Kinker cannot be made to appear, but perhaps the council can reach him in some manner As to that 1 should not like to express a positive opinion without looking the question up more fully, as the point is a delicate one. Mr. Kinker is a public official, and under the charter has cer tain duties which he is required to per form. The charter also gives him cer tain powers which the council is bound to respect, and 1 can think of no process of law whereby he could be required to come before that, committee and testify. It is uot as though he had refused to Je liver public records or were withholding public property. However, as a city official, he is appointed by tbe council, and there is a question as to whether that body could uot compel him to tes tify on pain of removal from office for failure to perform his duty in refusing to appear before the committee. 1 ' MATT GROSS EXPLAINS. He Tells in His Keport Why He Discharged the Workhouse Guards. The board of corrections and charities held its regular meeting at 2p. m. yes terday afternoon instead of at 10 a m. as heretofore, the time having been changed to accommodate the new mem ber. Prof. Moore. It was 2:45 before Chairman Cloutier called the meeting to order and proceeded to business. During the entire session, which lasted about two hours, the office was crowded with the recently discharged guards and employes at the workhouse, who pre sented themselves, with Attorney Brigsrs as their mouthpiece, to lay their claims before the board and also to carefully follow the proceedings of that body. President Cloutier announced the fol lowing committees for] B9J: Workhouse, Martin and Moore; hospitals. Woodard. Martin; poor department, Moore, Wood ard. fSupt.

The sixth annual report of the super intendent of the workhouse was sub mitted and referred to the committee on workhouse. The report is as fol lows: Total number of inmates dining tbe year. 1,686; total outlay. $21,888.97. Following his statistical report Supt. C.ross makes the followiuif suggestions iv his report. These are as follows: 1 desire to make a few suggestions relative to the efficient conduct of the workhouse. The officers should be sworn in at once, and susplled with some badge or uniform, that they may be clothed with special police powers, as far as it pertains to the workhouse and its inmates. 1 have made some chamges, and. with your permission, will make more when necessary to do so. Old men are not proper material lrom which to make guards for a prison. The very foolish notion is abroad that any one will do lor a guard at the work house, when, as a matter of fact, we need young, active and robust men of good judgment, and not decrepit, sickly men, who are unlit for any other occu pation or labor. Commissioner Cloutier. chairman of the retiring committee on workhouse, reported the resignation of L. J. Howe as guard, and the appointment of J. Farrell to succeed him. The appoint ment was approved. On motion of Com missioner Martin Deputy Superintend ent Wtmlen was allowed the difference between his pay and that of the super intendent for the month of December, during which time Capt. Whaien was acting superintendent, and a warrant was ordered drawn in Capt. Wha* en's name in the sihu of $40, the amount of the difference. Attorney Briggs presented a petition on behalr of the recently deposed work house employes protesting against the.r removal on the ground that it was with out sufficient cause, and the matter was referred to the committee on workhouse. The committee will meet on Friday at 4p. in. to consider this question, and will nt that time grant a hearing to the petitioners. Dr. Chase submitted a communica tion recommending Dr. P. F. Hall for the newly created office of second as sistant city physician, which was re ferreJ to a "committee to report at the next meetinc. The Minnesota Loan and Trust Co. Allows 5 per cent interest on six months' deposits. A HEAVY JOB. Burglars Carry Away the Entire Stock of a Tailor Shop. The heaviest and most daring burglary which has taken place in Minneapolis in several years was committed Monday night at the tailor shop of Doherty & Matheson, No. £5 Fifth street south, the burglars taking nearly everything in sight and almost putting the firm out of business. The store was entered through the rear door by the removal of one of the panels. The thieves evi dently worked under most favor able circumstances as; well as in a very systematic and thorough manner tor goods to the amount of $4,000, folly three-f-urths of the entire stock, had disappeared when Mr. Matheson ar rived at the store and discovered the v robbery yesterday morning. Tho voods taken would have till d a large dray. so there must have been several of the thieves: No clue to the missing goods has be^n found, and it is thouzht that they were taken by a regularly organized gang of thieves, who at onoa shipped them East. HUP.RLE IS GUI.VIY. . He Will Serve Time for Assault In tho First Degree. The Siegfried Hurrle case came to trial yesterday before Judare Lochren. Hurrle was found guilty of assault in the first degree. The defense consisted of an attempt to prove that Hurrle was insane. Hurrle's crime was that of at tempting to kill his wife. The trouble grew out of domestic un hapDinpss, which culminated in a di vorce suit. On Nov. 1, as Mrs. Hurrle was returning from church with several friends, Hurrle stepped out from be hind a building or. Northeast Main street and, exclaiming "I have you now I" began to shoot. Three shots in all were fared. Two of them took ef fect, one in the right side below the shoulder, and the other in the left side. Though he followed her closely, she es caped to the house of a neighbor. Hurrle was promptly arrested, and the grand jury returned an indictment. Louisa Hurrle, the wife, told of the shooting as above, stating that she fainted as she entered the neighbor's house. William Deitrich, Officers But inger, Bosworth and Mmlen were the chief witnesses in support of Mrs. Hurrle. They corroborated her testi mony. George Brown, Kate Short and ; William McCarty testified in Hurrle's defense. They state:! that they had reasons to believe that he was insane. They had known him for many years, but had never heard of him doing any thine out of the way previous to the shooting scrape. McCarty stated ih«t he did not know whether Hurrle was drunk or sober at the time. It required but a few minutes for the jury to re turn a verdict of guilty. A NEW PLAN. A Burglar Introduces an Inno- Tatiou in the Disposition of Stolen Goods. A rather strange story is related in connection with a recent burglary at the house of George F. Hitshcock Ji., district court stenographer. It appears Mr. Hitchcock's house was entered on New Year's night by a young man who went industriously to work to possesss himself of the valuables of the family. He was sur prised at his work by "Mr. Hitchcock's son, who gave the alarm, but succeeded in making his escape, taking with him a watch and a number of smaller arti cles of value. On Saturday Mr. Hitch cock received a note informing him that if he would send $50 to the West hotel he would receive in exchange for j the amount all the articles stolen— but that it would do no good to bother with the police, as the writer stood in The boy was sent to police headquarters with the money, and, accompanied by Detective James G. Doyle, proceeded to ! the West, but saw nothing ; of his acquaintance of New Year's night. Later, after he had left the detective, he suddenly ran across the object' of his search at the corner of the alley beside the postoffice. Mr. Burglar accosted the boy, saying: "Well, you didn't fool me, as you In tended to, did you? Where is the coin?" v He received the money, and in exchange handed over the stolen articles.

Young occuplea a rather anomalous position as the presi dent of the new Law Enforcement league. He is the duly elected presi dent, so announced publicly by the meu who have been pushing the league. Yet he says that he did not know that he had been elected its president until he read it in the newspapers. Nor does he know anything about the league, its composition, its aims or the reasons for its existence. As to the league, his election and his intentions regarding the acceptance of the president", lie said yesterday : "1 do not know anything about this league as yet. 1 did not Know I had been elected president until 1 saw it in the papers. I have never attended any of the meetings, nor have I been notified that i have been elected or appointed, whatever sys tem they tuse in su^h matters. When I have been notified of my elee t ; on 1 will look the tie!ci over, and if I find there is any occasion for an organi zation of this kind, and that lean do any good I may accept. I don't know yet that there is any need of it. lv fact 1 don't know whether there is any need or not, as my attention has not been directed towards anything of the kind." The judge admits that he did consent to allow the use of his name as presi dent of the league on condition that he be not asked to do anything. He thinks the present city officials are doiug their duty, but he is not certain. If, on in vestigation, he li'ids that they are doing: their duty he will refuse the office of president of the Law Enforcement league. WAIT FOR BASE BALIj. When the "Magnates" Return From Chicago All Will Be Ex plained. The base ball men are all outside of Minneapolis now. They went to Chi cago last night to attend the meeting that will be held at the Arlington house there tomorrow to organize a Western association. Morton, Hach and Jack Bennett have all gone, though by differ ent routes. Bennett, of course, went down to the Windy City as the repre sentative of St. Paul, so he enters not into Minneapolis affairs. Morton and Hach are both after a team in Minne apolis. Morton has secured backing and has made an offer for the ball park. Haeh has not yet accepted it. It is not even known that he thinks of accepting it. He has the "age" and will make the most of his position. He owns the park and the others must treat with him any how. If he decides that he can make more mouey by running his own team, he will not sell. But Hach's motto in business has always been, "Any man can have any piece of property 1 own if h« will pay my price for it.'' He will adhere rigidly to that rule in this case. If Morton wants the ball park bad enough to pay Hach's price he will get it. But until after the meeting in Chi cago and the return of the base ballista, it will be all guess work as to a team in Minneapolis. Nicollet Athletic Club. The old Minneapolis Athletic club has been revived under the title Nicollet Athletic club. Articles of incorporation were filed yesterday. The incorporators are: S. P. Jones, C. S. Ostrum. R. A.

Jacob Stone, of the Syndicate Insur ance company, returned Monday from a trip to Chicago. He went down there to attend the meeting of representa tives of all the insurance companies that do business in the Northwest. The meeting was called for the purpose of considering Northwestern insurance matters. The threatened loss of busi ness m Minneapolis through the In crease in rates was one mutter that came up for consideration. Mr, Stone Is extremely reticent concerning what took place. He says it was ft secret meeting, and not even the Chicago papers were allowed to know anything about the proceedings. Under the cir cumstances he does not feel at liberty to give out any Information, lie did say, however, that committees were ap pointed to look into matters connected with the insurance business in the Northwest. Tha companios are threat ened with so great a loss of business through the advance in the rates in Minneapolis that they want to devise some scheme for holding the business and quieting the enmity that has been aroused among business men. BIRDS OP HIGH DEGREE. Th« Poultry Exhibit of 1892 Highly Successful. The sixth annual exhibition of the Minnesota State Poultry association opened yesterday at 118 Washington avenue with over 1,000 birds in place. During the day new exhibits were constantly arriving, and there was con siderable hustling as the rules required that all entiies for competition should be in place before 8 o'clock last even ing. The exhibition of this year is larger by far, and gives every promise of being more successful, than any of its predecessors. Last year and previously only the lower floor of the building was used, although the exhibitors were somewhat cramped for space at times, but this year it became absolutely necessary to have more room, and the upper floor, a commodious and well ventilated apart ment, was thrown open. The show will remain open until Jan. 11 at 10 p. in. Nearly every known breed of fancy chickens is represented in the exhibi tion. Promineut among the exhibits are a hne lot of Plymouth Rocks and several cages of gold and black Wyau dotts. There are also turkeys of all breeds, geese, ducks, guina fowl, pea fowl and quails. Beside the poultry, there are also on exhibition rabbits," squirrels, guinea pies and uigeons, canary birds, mocking birds, piping gold finches, thrushes and cockatoos. Premiums have been offered for nov elties in the way of incubators, brood ers, etc., iv operation. The list or prizes is a liberal one, and nearly a hundred premiams have been offered by different firms iv the state. J. K. Fetch and F. H, Sheilbarger will act as judges. Wayzata Citizens Win. The case of Wayzata against the Great Northern Kailway Company, which has worked up considerable in terest among those interested in Lake Minnetonka affairs, was decided yester day by Judge Canty. The decision was in favor of Wayzata. The action was brought to obtain an injunction restrain ing the Great Northern company lrom occupying a greater part of the lake front at Wayzata. The property be longs to Wayzata, as it was given to the villaee by Lucius C. Walker. The de cision grants an injunction restraining the railroad from occupying any more property than is necessary for the oper ation of two main tracks. The road must also bring the street level up to the tracks at the crossings by buildiue approaches. The tracks are now ten inches above the level of Lake street. The railroad contended that the prop erty they used was below low water mark at the time ot the Walker dona tion. Small in Trouble. Charles Small appeared before Judge Mahoney yestecday afternoon on com plaint of Louisa Szeprell, who charges him with assault and battery. The ar rest was made by Officer Maussa. who was attracted to the block No. 513 Wash ington avenue south about 5:30 on Monday evening by the screams of a woman. On breaking down the door, which was tightly locked, he found Miss Szeprell lying on the stairs bleeding from several wounds about the head and face. On being questioned, she staled that Charles Small, who had rooms up stairs, had inflicted her in juries, and told her story as follows: "1 heard that Small wanted to hire a girl, and as I knew of one who wanted a situation, I called to see him. He took me to his rooms and there made indecent proposals. 1 started to leave, when he seized me and threw me down. When I got on my fvet I found my money gone and when 1 asked him about it he threw me down again. He went out and then locked the floor/ Small bears rather a hard reputation and was recently court-martialed by Georire X. Morgan post. G. A. R., for conduct unbecoming a soldier. An lucrease of Salaries. The committe on salaries met yester day afternoon to consider a few matters referred to it by the council at its last me«ting. It was decided to recommend that City Treasurer Kortsaardbeerant ed authority to increase the salnryof the bookkeeper in his office from SS<)O per year to $ 1.000. It was also decided to report favorably upon the petition from the fire department requesting that the salaries of captains be fixed at ?1, 200 instead of 51.020 per year; those of lieutenants at $1,020 Instead of $:m, and that of the secretary at fI,OSO in stead ot V.WO. Sociable and Vervy. In illustration of his belief that Jona than, as the genuine American is called, is a pood fellow. Max O'Keil tells «this story: The first journey i took in. this ' country was from New York to Boston, which, as you know.takes six hours; we left at 10 o'clock, and before going: aboard I bought a book, and on enter ing and seating myseif 1 placed the book beside me; by and by an American man came and sat be side me; a man with a waistcoat covered with embroidered flowers; he began to talk with me, and while talking he took my book, and turning; the leaves over, went on talking, with me; I could see that he was really .pleased with what he had seen therein, so pleased that he went into the smok ing-car (with my book), and read It. Now, gentlemen. I hold this airam to be an act of good-fellowship, because about ten minutes to 4 o'clock, he came back (he had read my book) and said to me, •'Have you read this book?" 1 said, "No, out I should like to." "Do," he said, "you will have a pood time." -^^ Stick to the Fat Men. ■ Going up in the train the other day, remarks the New , York Press, a girl was overheard to "say : "The first thing to do is to pick out a good, fat man—" It sounded cannibalistic, and some one listened. "Then stay close to him," she continued. "He will make his way through the crowd, and you slip along before they can close in behind him, and you can always get out safely, even at Fifty-ninth street." After a" pause she continued: "And nice, l fat men al- j ways take me across; the street. They don't always know it, but that does not , matter. I follow them as closely as pos sible, and never get run over. The truck drivers pull up and swear at them, and in the meantime I reach the side walk." Ohio Redisti-icting.

Furay was once a po3tofb'ce Inspector, and on one occasion was sent down into Louisiana to take charge of an office from which the post master had decamped. A fight arose over the vacant position, says the Oma ha World, during the progress of which Maj. Furay remained acting postmaster in the quazmires of Louisiana, devoting all his leisure time to shaking with the orthodox ague, and the longer the man stayed the more he shook, and the more he shook the more profane he waxed. He had been there three weeks or more when one morning:, while the fog was arising from around the little postoffice. In spector Furay sat astride a keg of but termilk reading "Pilgrim's Progress." A tall, lean genus homo of the swamp entered. • "A solitary suspender band held up a pair of blue jeans pants, a white felt hat of doubtful age rested on the man's head, and his feet were incased in a pair of cowhides reddened by age. "Howdy, pard," said the stranger, ad dressing the inspector, "be you the federal's agent?" "I am the postoffice inspector," re plied Maj. Furay without looking up, as he waded into "Paradise .Regained." "1 am the new postmaster," said the stranger, tendering his commission. "Well, l'll be d— — d!" was the only reply as. the inspector dropped his book to the ground and grazed at the visitor. "Yes, sir," continued the stranger, squirting; a mouthful of tobacco juice on the inspector's new trousers. "Yes, sir, and I've come to be qualified." Rising to his feet Furay sighed, in spected his visitor from head to foot, and exclaimed: '•My friend, I am but human. I can only swear you in. ■ All hell couldn't qualify you." AMONG THE PIE EATERS. Bostonians Follow the Customs of Their Ancestors in One Particu lar. flSfl New England has often been referred to as the pie-eating district of the coun try, says George R. Bliss, restaurateur of Boston, in the St. Louis Globe-Dem ocrat. . 1 remember that Emerson was quoted once as having asked the ques tion: "What was pie made for if it wasn't to eat?" There never has been any other section of the country where pie was said to have been so universally and extensively consumed as part of the early morning meal as Mew England, although it is reported now that New York is one of the greatest pie and cake eating localities. As a matter of fact, New England not only deserves all that has been said of her capacity for pie, but it is generally, known that the con- i sumption of pie is greatly on the in crease there, and in Boston the pie-eat ers are multiplying very rapidly." There is ons man on Washington street, right in th* midst of half a dozen big restaurants with brisk trades, who 1 has made a barrel of money out of the pie and cake industry only, and there everyday there are a thousand pies eaten in the two or three hours between 10 o'clock in the morning and 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Just think of it! A thousand pies means four thousand pie eaters, and this estimate is conserva tive. There are hundreds of men who occupy good positions down in the com mercial and financial districts of the city who go this place every day for the noouday repast of a glass of milk and a piece of pic, and they are all healthy and hearty. • Why He Didn't Rise. Detroit is a lovely city and everybody knows it, says the Free Press. The love of it is bred in the bone and never gets out of the flesh. The other Sun day a visiting clergyman addressed the Sunday school of an up-town church. After a serious talk he said to the children: "All of you who desire to live in a better world- than this, please rise to your feet." All the children rose except one small boy in the corner. Tne good man looked at him in piined surprise. "My child," he said, very gently and kindly, "why don't you rise with the others?" "Detroit's good enough for me, that's why," sung out the youngster, and- the solemnity of the occasion was knocked to pieces. Peter Folsom and Ebert Franklin, two well-known confidence men, are locsed up charged with having "done up" a couple of delegates to trie . Farmers' Alliance conven tion for 2200. It is litely that the case will be settled and me charge withdrawn, as me victims desire to avoid publicity. ■^ LOCAL MENTION. COAL. JENNINGS COAI, CO.. 823 HEXXEPIN AVENUE. COAL. .TEXXIXGS COAT.

HOW TO CURE LA GRIPPE. Go right about it. Do not waste a minute. For the splitting headaches, racking pains along the spine and in sides and loins, rheu matism of muscles and joints, chills and levers, nausea and disinclination for food, you must take three or four of Dr. Schenck's Mandrake Pills the first night, and after that a .sufficient number to insure a daily and free action of the bowels. Keep this up for some time, and where chills and fevers are stubborn, quinine, in reasonable doses, can be used to advant age with the Pills. These Pills set your gorged liver free, cleanse the stomach and bowels, and start up normal secretions. You've scored a big point. Then, to aid digestion, crush the weakness and lassitude, drive off the feeling that you'd as leave die as live, and give tone and strength to your system, you must take a tablespoon fu! of EB^H Schenck's Seaweed Tonic before and after meals. Already you begin to feel like a new person. But don't forget yo ur lungs. Beware of the terrible tendency of La Grippe toward Pneumonia. If you have chest pains or a cough, better settle' the mat ter at once by a tablespoonfui of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup taken three times a day, between meals— oftener If . the cough is troublesome. You can thus surround the very worst case of La Grippe, and drive it into : speedy surrender. Ana you'll do it right away if you - are wise. Ask your druggist for the Dr. Schenck Rem edies. ' DR.
