Describes His Sufferings from
Psoriasis
And Cure by Hood's Sai>aparilla-
As we have often said, scrofula lurks
in the blood of many who do not suspect
it, only waitingopportuuity as described
in the following case, to assert its ter
rible power. The disease called Psori
asis is of a scrofulous nature, and the
success of Hood's Sarsaparilla told be
lovv illustrates the wonderful power
of this medicine over ail diseases of
the blood :
"1 am very glad to tell what Hood's Sarsa
parilla has done for me. The only thing that
troubles me is that I cannot make my state
ment
Strong Enough
to describe ray former condition and my
cure. Three years ago this fall I was diggiug
a well ; by some slight accident scraped off a
little of the .skin between my knee and ankle
on my left leg. I thought nothing of this, as
•uch things arc very common, of course. The
next day
A Little Red Spot
Appeared, which spread something like a run
round. Finally it took the form of a scale.
I scratched it off and minded nothing of it.
But it formed aguin, aud other red spots and
patches came; first, on my legs, and finally
»11 over my body. They formed on the bot
toms of my feet, the palms of my banas, and
even inside my ears. It was
A Terrible Sight
and the itching and burning was intense. I
scratched and scratched, only to make my
body raw and in a more fearful condition
yet. Physicians failed to cure me. One night
I got up from bed and ran around the door
yard. It seemed as if I could not endure that
Agonizing, Itching, Burning
rensation. One morning I helped ray son to
cut some pea vines and I commenced to
sweat freely. It really seemed that I detected
the odor of arsenic in the perspiration. I came
to the house, was discouraged with my medi
cine and poured it out. My sou hitched up
the horse and drove me to the
Rev. Father Canteveel's,
Schiller P. 0., township of HumboJdt. I
told the father my condition and all that I
liad done for the disease. He tald me to try
Hood's Sarsapnrjlla, also a combination of
rhubarb and sulphur. Hnd but little faith.
even though the father had advised me.
However, I lost no time in getting Hood's
Sarsaparilla of Robinson & Co., Green Bay,
end commenced taking it. The result was
wonderful and a most joyous one for me.
The large scabs, which hnd covered my body,
peeled off in great flakes. Dark sp*ots re
mained, however. These disappeared grad
ually in about six mouths" time.
I Am Now a Well Man.
ITo one who has not passed through such a
terrible ordeal knows of the great joy to
ouce more be perfectly well, the equal of any
man as regards^health. lam very thankful
to the Rev. Father and to Hood's Sarsa
parilla." Theo. Desticue, Robinsonville,
Township of Green Bay, Brown County,
Wisconsin.
Is It Possible
That any one can doubt the merit of Hood's
Sarsaparilla after reading the above full,
frank statement? Surely Mr. Destiche will
not allow any one to express such doubt in
his presence.
Hood's Sarsaparilla
has cured thousands of people of diseases
arising from impure blood, and if you pjive
it a fair trial it will cure you.

TAXPAYERS GRY OUT
City Fathers Wrestle With
the Peddlers' Licensing-
Ordinance.
Peddlers Protest Against the
Doubling- of Their Li
cense.
Grocers Urge That It Is
Needed for Their Pro
tection.
Grave Objections Raised to
the Exemption of Minor
Peddlers.
C The joint committee on licenses wrest
ied for naught yesterday afternoon
with the vexations problem of fixing
peddlers' licenses for the ensuing year.
There was a goodly delegation of gro
cers present to urge the passage of the
ordinance that doubles the amount paid
by the street venders the past
year, and then came the peddlers
in motley array. They were le
gion, and crowded the committee
room, the council chamber and the
corridors of the city hail, and they did
not depend upon their individual and
collective subtlety, either, for they were
also represented by Attorney Ben
Davis.
The first section of the ordinance was
read, and that is as far as the commit
tee could go. A deadlock intercepted
progress, and only one tiling was left
and that was to adjourn when it is
thought a full meeting will be .secured.
Accordingly, Saturday at 8:30 was des
ignated as the hour for wrestling with
the question asrain. with the hope of
getting a report ready for the meeting
of the assembly next' Tuesday evening.
Aid. Van Slyke invited the grocersto
explain their position. A. P. Moss re
sponded briefly. lie stated that never
has the city bad an ordinance that de
fines what a peddler is. and that is the
purpose of the ordinance, which had
been drafted at their dictation, by the
way.
Aid. Gehan asked Mr. Moss to explain
the reason why the price of peddlers'
licenses should be doubled over the
previous years, but Mr. Moss hesitated.
The question was repeated, and Mr.
Moss reminded the committee that the
city has a public market house where
vegetables and the like are sold by tax
payers, and he asserted that the grocers
contribute quite largely to the support
of the city government through taxa
tion, and he dwelt at some length upon
the variety ot articles sold by peddlers
through the city.
'•Do the grocers— and I understand you are
the instigators of this ordinance— do you pay
a license for selling green goods?" asked Aid.
Gehan.
"So, 1 ' answered A. J. Biraiiugham.
"Do you think you pay more i:i the way of
taxes, in proportion to the amount of cfeen
stuff you sell, than the peddlers do?" per
sisted Aid. Gehau.
•■Yes; we do."
"And there is a very small margin?"
"There isn't mucii made on screen goods."
"Tnere is another thing tbat we must not
overlook." interrupted Assemblyman Van
Slyke. "We must consider the sanitary phase
ot the question, I ' and he intimated that some
of the vegetables n'ld fruits sold by peddlers
are scarcely as sound and healthful as they
should be.
Attorney Davis was given the floor to
argue for the peddlers. He assumed,
because nothing to the contrar3 r had
been claimed, that there is nothing
morally objectionable to the occupation
of peddlers, and he assumed further
more that they are useful and beneficial
citizens, and a great convenience to
housewives who haven't time to do their
shopping. This being true, he urged
it is" a wrong principle to im
pose au unjust tax upon them
simply because they are peddlers. The
only authority that can be found for im
posing a license fee is an ethical one to
even up taxes, and he would challenge
Mr. Moss to show that any grocer in
the city pays a tax even of $10 a year on
green stuffs. They are personal prop
erly, lie pursued, "and the assessment
on personal property is made by the
city on the Ist of every May, or at a
season of the year when the grocer lias
no green goods. Consequently they are
not taxed on green goods at all. He
continued at some length, arguing that
the old license fee was high and that it
is unfair to double the amount.
Aid. Van Slyke asked to have chil
dren peddling with baskets exempt from
the operations of the ordinance, but Mr.
Bauholzer thought it an unlit and dan
gerous employment ior children. He
rehearsed some of the incidents he had
witnessed among child-peddlers in
illustration of the point, and declared it
a veritable school for vice.
Mr. Van Slyke insisted there are a
number of charitable institutions In the
city that make knit goods. and these are
sold by people from baskets, while the
proceeds go to worthy charities.
"Such can eet special permits," ex
claimed Aid. lianholzer. "1 do not
think we should allow children to go
about the streets peddling in a promis
cuous way."
Mr. Van SlyKe insisted upon his mo
tion, but when it was put it was lost on
a tie vote, Aid. Gehan voting with As
semblyman Van Slyke, while Aid. Bott
voted no with Assemblyman Banholzer.
Here was an interminable hitch. Aid.
Banholzer moved the adoption of the
section as it was originally written,
merely exempting newsboys and match
peddlers. Tnere was no second. Then
Aid. Gehan moved to adjourn, and there
was no second to that.
Aid. Bott was sturdy. He would not
concede that it was advisable to double
the amount of the license to be paid by
the father and then let children peddle
free. "The father will take out no
license and the children will support
the family," said he, "and it is not a
proper thing. There are too many chil
dren on the streets now. They should be
in better places."
After some further discussion the
committee adjourned as related.
THE ALLIANCE INNINGS
In the Free-for-AH Political Dis-
cassion at the Bethel.
The attendance at the floating bethel
last night showed a marked iacrease.
The meetings are growing in interest.
The musical features are entertaining,
and the political discussions are par
ticipated in with a zest that arouses
enthusiasm. The chief feature last
nisriit was discussion of the proposition,
"Why 1 Belong to the Alliance Party."
Dr. Fish, the state lecturer and side
partner of the Sage of Ninineer, led
in the discussion. He protested vigor
ously at only being allowed twenty
minutes to expound his doctrine, say
ing that he expected more time when he
consented to remain from his field, of
operations i in the state, where he
speaks five or six hours a day on
the same subject. He asserted that it
is his policy to assault the old parties
with the fiercest imprecations possible,
and he favors throttling them for the
evils of the past. He is an Alliance
man because that platform covered the
range of all evils on the one side and
all the reforms on the other side. It
determined to knock the feet from un
der the plutocrats for supporting the
evils of government and to establish a
government that would educate the
masses and give the farmers plenty of
money and better prices for products.
He asserted that he Is an Alliance man
because he favors the reduction of the
mortgage indebtedness of the country
emS because he opposes monopolists
running the government for self-inter
ests. He spoke especially of the bene
fits railroads have received from the
government and the people and their
extortionate charges for carrying farm
products.
J, ii. Lowe, a district Alliance led

urer of South Dakota, delivered an elo
quent speech. Ho declared his adher
ence to the Alliance party because it
favored more money with which to pay
debts, because lie wanted better prices
for farm products, and because lie op
poses the element in the country that
now controls it to its hurt. He said it is
left for the Alliance to destroy the old
parties in order to secure tho relief the
people demand.
An Englishman present said he would
be an Alliance man if the party would
favor electing senators by direct vote.
His belief is that the United States sen
ate is more aristocratic than the houso
of lords.
Mr. Herman said lie would join tho
Alliance if it would #ye the relief tho
people demanded.
Bar. Morgan said ho could not be
come an Alliance advocate until it
should also declare for prohibition.
Another speaker said he would favor

sulting in making the few rich to the
detriment of the masses.
The presiding officer, Leon idas Sharp,
thought any party is capable of reform
within itself.
The Prohibitionists will lead the dis
cussiou at the meeting next Tuesday
night.
IX HOT WATER.
The Game Warden and His Late
Seizure of Venison.
The eighty-three saddles of venison,
valued at SI, OOO, seized by Game War
den Stetson last Saturday, were replev
nied yesterday by Warren Potter &
Co., through their attorney, J. B. Fish
leigh. They had beeu hsld in the cold
storaee house of J. 13. Thurston ȣ Sou.
The shipment came from Aitkin.Minn.,
and Messrs. Potter & Co. claim the ven
ison to be personal property which had
been lawfully received by them pre
vious to the close time season. Potter &
Co. are among the leading lumbermen
of Minnesota, and reel the injustice of
the seizure keenly. They think it un
just to have the gamo warden seize the
venison without process, especially
when he bases his authority for doing
so simply upon his official ca
pacity. The criminal prosecution
following this seizure will piobably be
instituted in either Aitken or Brainerd.
Potter & Co., it is said, will fight the
case to the bitter end, claiming a perfect
i iijht, muter the law, to handle the ven
ison seized.
It may be remembered in this connec
tion that Mr. Davis, of Mora, lost $500
worth of game which was similarly
seized In Minneapolis, and spoiled in a
freezer between the cities. The state
may iiave to pay the loss, in the case
naainst Merrill Ryder, whose game was
seized last fail, the defendants' attor
neys have been notified that the case
had been decided in their favor, al
though the long looked-for written de
cisiou has not yet been submitted.
A NEW MAGAZINE
Promoted by Literav-y Men aud
Women of St. Paul.
Early in March there will appear on
the literary tables of the country, a new
in uitlily magazine called the Literary
Northwest. It is a St. Paul publica
tion, with E. M. Hall and C. F. Van
Maai.en at the helm, financially speak
ing. There is a vast deal of secrecy
about the personalities of the editorial
staff, but it is generally understood that
Mrs. (J. A. Severance will be editor-in
chief, with an advisory editorial board
composed of Father Con way. Dr. s. v.
Smith, Rev. Mr. Crothers and Dr. Shut
ter, of Minneapolis. The magazine will
contain sixteen pages, and will resem
ble somewhat the Journalist, of New
York. It is to be devoted to the literary
interests of the Northwest, and will
make it its purpose to encourage liter
ature in this section of the United
States. The people in charge do not
undertake the publication as a business
venture, but for the sake of art, and be
causu they believe there is a rich field
of literature here as yet unculti
vated, and a irreat many writers
who need the encouragement such
a magazine will undoubtedly be. T!ie
enterprise is conducted quietly, and the
editors are reticent in the extreme. They
do not propose to make any promises
they cannot fulfill, but they confidently
expect to give to the world whatever
of literary merit the Northwest has.
Among the contributors to the first
issue will be Dr. Duryea, of Omaha;
Miss Evans, of Carleton college; Albert
Shaw, and a number of people already
known as writers. There will be some
anonymous contributions which will set
St. Paul literary folk, to guessing. The
magazine is awaited with interest.
A DOUBLE BILL
Strongly Presented by Joseph Ha-
worth I jast Xi^ht.
Following the fashion so rapidly be
coming popular all over the country,
Joseph Haworth presented a double bill
at the Metropolitan latf night The
curtain-raiser was a one-act— one hardly
knows what to call it— entitled "A Man
of the World." It is an exquisitely
tender little story of married life, artist
ically played, delicately written, and
with a moving moral to point. Mr.
Haworth was admirable in the part of
Capt. Bradley.
"Kuy Bias," the play of the evening,
is a play of purity and delicacy ratlier
above the appreciation of the average
audience, but it has strength. There
are few men who can play "Ruy Bias"'
without seen.ing ridicujjuus as lovers
and ranters as prime ministers. Joseph
Haworth is one of them. He is strong
with the intense and irresistible
strength of great reserve power. His
voice is sympathetic and his methods
thoroughly artistic. In the lost act ho
was superb, and received that rare com
pliment, a curtain call after the clos
ing scene. The poison, it is true,
works strangely, but the' toxicology
of the statre is not writ iv
books of medicine, and he dies
effectively. Kathryn Kidder as the
queen, in her trailing draperies and her
frequent exalted look and attitudes,
suggests a Burne-Jones study. She is
artistic to look upon and pleasing to
hear. The Don Salluste of Atkins
Lawrence is very well done, and the
minor characters are ably sustained.
From an artistic standpoint "Kuy Bias"
last niirht was a rare delight.
Mr. Haworth plays Mathias in "The
Bells" tonight, aud the bill of last night
this afternoon.
A Kind Word for Haworth.
"1 am not sure that Mr. Haworth
would thank me for voicing my personal
opinion of his merit as an actor," said
Secretary White, of the school board,
today, "but I cannot help thinking that
the art to which that gentleman has de
voted his life has by conscientious and
intelligent application of his devotion
acquired an impetus and status which
time cannot obliterate and in which im
itators of his style aud proficiency may
find a laudable and remunerative in
centive. In my judgment Mr. Haworth
is superlatively above and beyond all
the professionals whom it has been, my
fortune to witness in delineating the
virtues or eccentricities of human char
acter, and as 1 sat and witnessed the
exquisite technique of the artist, I re
gretted seriously that our townspeople
were not more fully acquainted with the
merit of the maestro whose sojourn
among us is to be so brief."
Only a Fakelet.
There were no special features at the
meetings of labor organizations last
evening. Several delegates to the trades
and labor assembly and other members
of labor organizations asserted that the
statement made in a morning paper
relative to a war in the assembly is a
pure fabrication. They laughed at the
idea of there being any prospect of a
split between the unions on one side
and K. of L. associations on the other.
The painters and decorators, the plumb
ers, the waiters and the machine wood*
workers : held ■ regular 6emi-monthly .
meetings.

The present bread ordinance, Instead
of systematizing the baking aud sale of
"the staff of life," seems to have
plunged the industry into doubt and
uiscord. The conclusion has been ar
rived at by the bakers of the city that
it is not far-reaching as it should be,
and. morever, that it is not specific
enough. Consequently, they enlisted
the sympathies of Aid. Downer, who
has drafted an ordinance with the view
of curing the imperfections of the old.
It was presented at last night's meeting
of the board of aldermen and given its
first readiusr. It enters into all the
various branches of the business, speci
fying all sorts of products of the oven,
and provides for a systematic inspec
tion, which is made compulsory. The
ordinance went to the committee on
ordinances to determine upon penalties
iv case of infractions.
Street Railway Earnings.
Corooration Attorney Lawler submit
ted the followingopinlou coiicerume the ■
city's rights in dispute with the St. Paul
City Railway company:
'•After a careful examination of Ordi
nance No. 1227, 1 am of the opinion that
the enclosed return of the gross earn
ings of said compauy for the year 1391,
verified by A. L. Scott, general man
ager, is in proper form, and that the
said company is not required by the said
ordinance to render an" itemized state
ment of the earnings of its several
lines."
Such information, however, as would
be conveyed by an itemized statement
coukl be obtained from an examination'
of the books of the said company.
'■It appears trotn the accompanying
correspondence that the said company
has not been requested to permit such
examination to be made. I am informed
by its general manager that it is willing
to allow the city treasurer, or some
proper person appointed by him, to
make such examination. 1 therefore
recommeud, should it seem proper to
the common couueit and to the city
treasurer, ' that such course be pur
sued."
Tlie report was accepted by the body.
A report treating of the same topic
was received Irom the city treasurer.,
It was a memorandum showing the
arross earnings of the company in St.
Paul for IS9L in comparison with the
previous year, and also in comparison'
with the same reported for Minneapolis'.'.
In St. Paul, for ISUI, the company re
ports 5753.351.Gfi;. for MiuneaDolis.
51.525.0Q0, and for St. Paul in "1*90, "
$590,802.57. He then comments uporr
the vast extensions made iv the St.
Paul system for the year 1891, and the ;
fact that ISUi) showed mostly lior.se cars', 1
etc. The report was placed on file.
Miscellaneous. j,j
A petition was recdived from John A.
Goran, asking for $350 for damages thatt
he alleges to have sustained- by reason 1 ,
of falling through a broken sidewalk on
Koudo street Jan. 16. The matter was
referred to the , committee on- claims;)
and a pretest was received from prop
erty owners asking that proceedings be
abandoned in the matter ot widening'
East Seventh street, between Rosabel
and Broadway. It was laid upon tho
table.
The board of public works reported
that it had finally decided not to read
vertiso for proposals for sprinkling dis
tricts 1, 7 and 10. These districts cover
suburban streets, and none of the con
tractors seem to care to get the job.
Last year tho Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railway compauy filed plans
and specifications with the "city eneineer
for a four-track iron bridge over the
Pleasant avenue crossing, but thi3 year
Che road feels satisfied with a double
track bridge, according to the report of
the city engineer. Accompanying the
same was an agreement between the
city and the road, and tho matter was
referred to the committee on streets.! -
Corporation Attorney Lawler report
ed back the o!d Bell litigation, and rec
ommended that a settlement be ar
ranged between the city and Mr. Bell
in ca^e satisfactory terms can be agreed
on. This is the niaUer of the petition
of George W. H. Bell for a return of as
sessments paid by reason of supposed
benefits accruing from street improve
ments in West St. Paul. The case went
to court, and thß jury failed to agree.
Mr. Bell now agrees to accept one-half
the claim, explaining he does not care,
for further litigation. His original
2laim was for 55,275. Referred to tho
committee on streets.
The corporation attorney reported an
ordinance to pay C. S. Little $i.">o in full
for injuries received by falling on a de
fective sidewalk on Cook street, and
the same was passed under a suspension
of rule 3, and the attorney was instruct
ed to ascertain the amount of the
default of Timothy Sweeney in his cou- 1
tract with the city for filling aud grading
Laugfora park, and to forthwith insti
tute suit against Timothy Sweenev and
his bondsmen on the. contract for the
amountof such default.
The ordinance granting Kingsland
Smith the right to erect a roller rlouriug
mill on the West side levee, near the
Wabasha street bridge, was passed, as
was the ordinance creating a public
market on Sixth street, from Broadway
to Wacouta street, and Rosabel street,
from Fifth to Sixth streets. The much
talked-about bill of the Azotine com
pany for destroying garbage, amounting
to 16,250, was ordered paid. This is not
the bill, however.for gathering garbage,
for which there is no contract. r ; * : .
FIGHT FOR THE SITE.
Wood Harvester Directors at Vari-
ance on a Location.
The boomers of the sites offered the
Wood Harvester works were in session
yesterday afternoon and evening, modi-,
fying their bids in accordance with the
request of the committee selected to re
port upon a site for these works. It is'
understood that the directors are
greatly divided on the site ques^
tion. Two sues which meet with
some favor are the Stee3 tract
and the Como property, or Lewis site-.
But it is very unlikely that either will
be selected. The objection to the Stees
tract \j that the property is too hilly.
The C*mo property has one preat draw
bach, and that 13 that its locatiou is so
near Minneapolis as to raise the belief
that if the works were placed there the
men brought from the Mill City would
retain their residence in that city. When
the St. Paul works are opened the Min
neapolis harvester works will be closed,
and the probability is that all the em
ployes will be brought to St. Paul. It
is said that J. J. Hill favors the Como
and Rice street sites, but the general
expectation is that a compromise will
be effected and that none of the sites
named will secure the coveted prize.
The Fifth ward stands a very good show
of being the favored one in the compro
mise, owing to its location, which either
party can accept without detriment to
the other.
