CUT1CURA REMEDIES
"Three years ago I was tortured by
that dreadful disease eczema, a fine
rash appearing on my face, neck, and
arms. I sought medical treatment,
but found nothing to ease my pain
until persuaded by my mother, who had
always used the Cuticura Remedies, to
try Cuticura, which I did at once and
was soon relieved. I took twelve
bottles of that blessed Remedy, Cuti
cura Resolvent, using Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, and have never been
bothered with eczema since. We all
use your Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
They are the best in the world. I use
your Cuticura Soap for the face
and find it beneficial to the skin. I
thank you very much for the good

CHRISTMAS TURKEY
WILL COST 22 CENTS
Christmis turkey will cost at least 22
cents a pound. The great American fowl
is now wholesaling at from 14 to 18 cents
a pound and retailers are asking from
20 to 22 cents.
The idea of a turkey famine is rather
scouted alonjr commission row. One
dealei, who handles poultry exclusively,
said today, that while he could not say
just how many birds were already in
storage and how many would come in,
Jie was confident that there would be
turkev enough for everybody and at
the same price as last year. There is
a chance for a drop in turkeys, for the
farmers have not yet begun to unload,
and the wholesalers are not holding any
for a raise in price, but are ready to let
them go at the current quotation. This
year's price is within a cent of what it
was last year.
While turkevs are taking a flyer the
other fowls are keeping more within
reach. Chicken is going at wholesale at
from 8 to 12 cents, while the retailers
are getting from 16 to 17 cents. Goose
can be purchased in quantities at from
10 to 11 cents, but when the order is
for a single bird the price is from 14
to 15 cents.
Cotton-tail and jaekrabbits are the
only game offered. They wholesale at
$1.50 and $3.50 apiece respectively.

bone man, says he is not making any
predictions about the weather this win

CITY. NEWS
NEITHER SIDE IS'-
WILLING TO GIYE
MAYOR AND COUNCIL FAIL
SETTLE CONTROVERSY.
TO
Representatives of Gas Company and
Electric Company Are Willing to
Waive Rights Gained Under Motion
to Adopt Gas Committee's Report,
but Patterson Company Holds Out.
Mayor David P. Jones and the mem
bers of the council committee on gas
had a long discussion yesterday after
noon over the proper method of award
ing contracts, but could come to no
agreement and the committee ad
iourned without making any provision
for correcting the error pointedf
oat
by the mayor in his communication on
street lighting. The meeting was at
tended by City Attorney Vrank Hca
ly, President A. E. Merrill and repre
sentatives of the Minneapolis Gaa
Light company, the Minneapolis Gen
eral Electric company and the Patter
son Street Lighting company.
After the mayor's communication
had been read, it was freely discussed.
In this message Mr. Jones called atten
tion to the fact that the practice of
awarding contracts by the mere adop
tion of a committee report was in con
flict with the city charter and was not
the best practice, as it deprived him
of his right to review the action of the
council.
In response to a query from Alder
man Schoonmaker, Mr. Healy said that
the contract had been regularly award
ed. The council could pass a resolution
reawarding the contract, but. it would
be of no effect unless the contractors
waived the rights thev had gained un
der the motion to adopt the commit
tee's report.
Patterson Stands Firm.
The representatives of the gas com
pany and the electric company there
upon declared that thev were willing to
waive their rights and have the ques
tion of awarding the contracts resub
mitted to the council. Mr. Patterson
of the incandescent lighting company,
however, took the position that the
contract had been awarded, in com*
pliance with the provisions of the or
dinance, and objected to having the
matter resubmitted.
Mayor Jones then explained his posi
tion in detail. lie admitted that he had
frequently, both as alderman and may
or, acquiesced in the practice of award
ing contracts on a mere committee re
port. He had no criticism to make,
but was of the opinion that the meth
od was illegal. It developed during the
debate that the system had been de
vised by Joseph L. Kiichli in. 1899, the
main purpose being to save the expense
entailed by the official publication of
resolutions,
City Attorney Healy thought that the
issue was now between the mayor and
the contractors. Alderman E. C. Chat
field expressed his opinion that the
mayor was late in making his protest.
Alderman Piatt B. Walker also criti
cised the attutude of the mayor.
Hertig Sides with Mayor.
Alderman Wendell Hertig sided with
the mayor and argued that the charter
did not provide for the awarding of
contract on a simple motion. The coun
cil had adopted the report of the gas
committee, but had not legally acted
upon the contracts. Mr. Healy, how
ever, ruled that the motion adopting
a report was an act of the council.
To bring the question to an issue,
Mr. Schoonmaker moved that resolu
tions awarding the lighting contracts
be prepared, but there was no second.
Mr. Hertig could not second the mo
tion, as this would commit him to the
incandescent lighting contract, to which
lie is strongly opposed. The committee
then adjourned.
It is possible that if Mr. Schoon
maker will renew his motion in the
council meeting next Friday evening
he can obtain a second and in that event
there will be some excitement.
The Minneapols Gas Light company,
which has the contract for supplying
gas to the city, the Minneapolis Gen
eral Electric company, which has the
electric lighting contract, Bayne &
Hewett, who have the steel contract for
the Washington avenue bridge, and
other contractors whose contracts are
held up by the mayor's refusal to sign
them are entirely willing that the con
tracts should be reawarded by resolu
tion. The only opposition comes from
the Patterson Street Lighting company.
That Mr. Jones will veto the incan
descent contract when it comes to him
mav now be accepted as certain, and
this fact is calculated to bring terror
to the Patterson faction in the council.
A short time ago the incandescent party
had enough votes to pass the matter
over the mayor's head, but there is dan
ger that some of the strength may be
lost in view of the recent agitation.
DR. BOYLE RESIGNS
St. Paul Pastor Will Go to Lake "Forest
Church, Chicago.
Eev. W. H. W. Boyle, pastor of
House of Hope Presbyterian church, St.
Paul, has handed in his resignation and
Feb. 1 will become pastor ot the Lake
Forest church, Chicago, one of the lar
gest and most influential Presbyterian
churches in the country.
Last October a call was extended to
Dr. Boyle from Lake Forest, but at
that time he declined. Since then his
wife's health has been steadily declin
ing. Dr. Boyle believes that the quiet
of Lake Forest, thirty miles from the
business center of Chicago, will be ben
eficial to her, and this is his main reason
for accepting the renewed call. Dr.Boyle
will receive a salary of $6,000 a year
and a parsonage at Ms new field.
In his letter of resignation Dr. Boyle
expresses deep appreciation of the sup
port he has had in his duties from the
people of the church, especially since
October, when he was prevailed upon
to remain. The letter says in part:
"The whole spirit of the church has
been that of fine devotion and greatly
increased activity. My opportunity for
the performance of the best service of
my life seemed to open to me. As far
as I know there is not one discordant
note in the entire activities in the
House of Hope."

CIGAR S FO CHRISTMAS
Safety in Cigar Buying
The guarantee of genuineness and the assurance of satisfaction given by the United Cigar Stores to all
customers is especially important during the Christmas buying season.
This is the season of special offers" and gorgeously decorated boxes. It is the hey-day of various kinds
of cabbage-leaf disguised as cigars by Spanish-sounding names and brilliant labels.
Don't be deceived. If you are an experienced smoker yourself you probably can't be, but if you go to
a United Store you WONT BE,whether experienced or otherwise.
W have built up the largest retail cigar business on earth, simply by giving the public
GOO VALUE S AN A SQUAR E DEAL
Our system of direct-^buying and direct-selling assures the valuesourpolicy assures the square deal. And both together
give an assurance of satisfaction as important to yourself as it is to the recipient of your gift.
If you are thinking of making gifts of cigars (and it is hard to think of abetter Christmas gift, or one more likely to be
appreciated) look over this list. All good cigarsall unmatchable values.
