NEW YORK SNOW-BOUND.
Storm Rased With Almost the Fury
of a BllzKiird.
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—With almost the
fury of a blizzard, a snow storm has been
raging all day. The snow came down
with such fury as to almost block all
street travel. The wind was from the
northeast at twenty-five miles an hour
gait. About ten inches had fallen by
midnight, but it was then becoming
thinner and the air turning cold.
Great was the danger to shippers from
the strong inshore wind. The last ship
to reach this port today was the Cam.
par.a, which passed quarantine at 9:30 a.
m. The American liner St. Louis was
duo this morning, but she was not reportr .
ed up to midnight. La Touraine is due to
morrow, but It is not expected she will
reach here on time. The last ship out
was Etruria, which left her dock at 8
a. m. The Graf Waldersee, which at
tempted to pass out went as-hore at 6
p. in. Harbor shipping is standing still.
Fog bells were kept going.
On land trains were delayed and in
some instances stalled by the storm, the
high wind causing the snow to drift.
As a result of the storm the poor ot
the city suffered greatly, and the de
partment of charities had to exert its
itmost energies to assist the sufferers.
A great many accidents were reported
and ambulances from the various hos
pitals were continuously going all day.
The majority suffered from fractured
limbs from falls.
As yet but one death from cold and
exposure has been reported.
Throughout the suburbs of New York,
in Long Island and about New Jersey
everything pointed to a partial blockade
by the snow. The storm delayed many
of the incoming trains by a period vary
ing from half hour to two hours, but it is
possible that the delays will be much
greater.
The new street commissioner will have
2,500 men and 200 carts at work early in
the morning, when something* like a foot
of snow on the level will have fallen.
The prospect is for clear, cold weather
tomorrow.

THE WHOLE SECRET
Or the Remarkable Succes* of a
Remedy for Indigestion and
Stomach Troubles.
A new remedy which may revolutionize
the treatment of stomach troubles has
been placed before ths public and bears
the endorsement of many leading phy-
Dlcians and scientific men.
This preparation !s not a wonderful dis
covery nor yet a secret patent medicine,
neither Is it claimed to cure anything
except dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach
troubles, with which nine-tenths of our
nation are more or less affected.
■ The remedy Is in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lozenges containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptics
pepsin (free from animal impurities)
Golden Seal and diastase. They are sold
by druggists under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Many interesting experiments made
with these tablets show that they possess
remarkable digestive power, one grain of
the active principle in one of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets being sufficient to
thoroughly digest 3,000 grains of lean
meat, eggs, oatmeal or similar wholesome
food.
. Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after-dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which simply irritate and In
flame the intestines, without having any
effect whatever in curing- indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work of digestion it will very
soon recover its normal vigor, as no or
gan is so much abused and overworked
as the stomach. This Is the secret and
the whole secret of the remarka^e suc
cess of Stuart's Dyspepsia TatjTets, a
remedy practically unknown a few years
ago, and now tho most popular, safest and
most widely sold of any treatment for
Btomach weakness.
This success has been secured entirely
upon its merit as a digestive, pure and
simple; because there can be no stomach
trouble if the food is promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act entirety
upon the food eaten, digesting it com
pletely, so that It can be assimilated into
blood, nerve and tissue.
Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve
and tissue in the body can be renewed in
but one way, and that is from wholesome
food properly digested. There is no other
way, and the Idea that a medlcino in it
self tan purify the blood, or supply new
tissues and strong nerves is ridiculous,
ajid on a par with the fol-de-rol that dys
pepsU. is a germ disease or that other
fallacy, that a weak stomach which re
fuses to digest food can be made to do so
by ir*'tating and inflaming the bowels by
pills a:.•'"cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure dyspep
sia, water brash, bout stomach, catarrh
of stomach, gas and bloating after meals
because they furnish the digestive power,
which is the one thing- that weak stom
achy lack, and unless that lack is sup
plied it is useless to attempt to assist it
by the use of "tonics," "pills" and ca
thartics, which have absolutely no di
gestive power and do not claim to have
any.
The regular use of one or two of Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets, after meals, will
demonstrate their merit and efficiency
better than any other argument.
They are sold by druggists everywhere,
and a little booklet on cause and cure of
stomach troubles will be malle* free by

SHADOW OF HAY POLLS
IT FALLS ACROSS THE PATH OP
MAYOR KIEFER, NOW BESET
WITH TROUBLE!
AS HE FACES REPUDIATION
At the Hands-of Hla Own Party, He
Also Finds It Rent With Such Dis
senaions Tliht a Complete Turn
ing Out of the Republican Offlee
holders Seems Inimlnent at the
Mar Election.
Ten weeks from Tuesday the people of
St. Paul will be called upon to elect from
the list of four candidates who will be
set under the classification "Mayor," on
the Australia^, ballot, one man to be the
chief executive of the city for the two
yeara beginning next June.
That the present burgomaster will be
able to add another two years to his
long term of public service seems to be
disputed by his own party. Republicans
are saying all kinds of disagreeable
things about him, regardless of whether
they are true or not.
They are saying his administration has
been singular In Its manifold elements of
unpopularity. His enemies declare that
after playing for two years at a game of
civic battledore and shuttlecock with the
saloon ordinance enforcement, making a
show of enforcement, while legally licens
ing the social evil by a police- "dossier, 11
--more or less secret, and an accompany
ing system of fines. And finally, three
months before the expiration of his term,
the mayor spectacularly forces the resig
nation of his chief ot police and Installs
a new man, who, while turning a mailed
hand on the saloons and closing the
liquor stores at midnight, turns the ma
chinery of his department to the gratifi
cation of private spites, as evidenced in
the transfer of the police officers who
ruffled the mayor's "temper by discover
ing one of his pet appointees in. a mussy
state of disorder at a dance of the wait
era at Pfeifer's hall. They tell each
other he has clashed with the municipal
court, and he has clashed with reputa
ble business men; that he has taken sides
in public disputes as to the paving of
streets and has spared his frowns to the
junketing officials who Inspected brick
plants.
• * •
But, in spite of this general dissatis
faction with the reigning monarch, the
Republicans are at sea fo* ■»• leader. Aid.
Sidney H. Reeves has been pressed to
the front by a considerable element of
his own party, but he is lacking in one
element, the possession of which appeals
to the Republican machinist, generically
speaking. Mr. Reeves Is. not a rich man.
The hard workers would rather have
some one who has a barrel, the bung of
which can be opened opportunely. That
is one seiflous objection to Reeves In the
eyes of the politicians, if not of the
voters.
• • *
Chester R. Smith has been suggested,
but it is urged against him that he is a
"silk stocking." However, he is chair
man of the committee and has quite an
initial pull in the machinery of the Re
publican party locally.
* * *
But yet the Republicans are not ready
to push one of these men openly into the
field and are hoping, as one prominent
Republican put it yesterday, "to find
some new Richmond in the field," who
can give the opposition the requisite be
laboring to lead them to believe that he
is sevenfold, rather than just one weak
nominee of a disorganized party.

It is beginning to dawn on the friends
and supporters of Mayor Kiefer that
"your mayor" w'iil not have a* walk-away
for renomination. The Eighth ward,
which two years ago was solid for Kie
fer, over two months before the conven
tion is strongly anti-Kie€er just now,
and the strenuous efforts of Custodian
George Gerlich do not seem to Improve
mutters at all. It is predicted that Kie
for will not have more than eighty votes
In the convention, and those who have
been endeavoring for years to dig his
political grave assert that it is all- over ■
with the gallant colonel as far as po
litical aspirations are concerned.

Mayor Klefer has decided that there
will be no chief of detectives appointed
to fill the vacancy caused by the remov
al of Phil Schweitzer. The Idea of the
mayor is that $2,000 per year can be used
to better advantage by employing two
detectives at $1,000 each than in having
one man as chief. The Chief of police, ha
contends, can take charge of the detective
force just as well, and then, too, it will
help on the work of his renomination bet
ter to have two appointments to make in
stead of one. The two new detectives will
not be appointed until the campaign is
further progressed.
Two years ago the Republican city con
vention adopted In its platform a plank
pledging the party to the securing of a
public market site. An effort has been
made by the council during (he past
twenty-one months to select a market
site, but without success. Several sites
have been recommended, but, owing to
business opportunities, or, rather, the
lack of such opportunities, the members
could not agree on the question. It now
looks as though the selection of the Eagle
street site would be pushed through the
board of aldermen. It requires eight votes
to select a site, and up to date there has
always been a sufficient number- of votes,
lacking one, to make this deal a certain
ty. At the last meeting of the board of
aldermen the contract for a new police
alarm system was awarded to the firm
which Aid. Knauft has been favoring,
ans, on the theory that all legislation ia
a compromise, It is figured out that the
Second ward alderman will consent to
vote for the Ea«le street site. Owing to
the absence of Aid. Shepard from the city
during the coming week, the market site
proposition will not be brought up at the
meeting of the board Tuesday night, but
at the next regular meeting, March 6,
the Eagle street site will be chosen. The
sudden activity of the council is believed
to be due to a circular letter which is
being distributed, and which reads as fol-
The present council promised the people
a public market and after over a year
and one-half of dickering, we find that we
are farther off than ever. Taking without
compensation from the market interest
the valuable property we had at Seventh
and Wabasha streets, estimated to be
worth $250,000 or $300,000, we are still con
fronted with the fact that they cannot
agree to purchase a central market site
to cost one-quarter of the above amount
We have decided to call our friends and
the people to help us in this matter and
secure for St. Paul one of the greatest
necessities and its gardeners a decent place
to stand and sell their wares. We have
presented numerous petitions, attended
dozens of meetings without any apparent
success. We are sure the public are with
us in this matter. The garden season is
fast drawing to a close for the present
year and before the first of May of next
year a new council will have come into
existence. We desire to post ourselves
and friends and those who have not at
tended this market, that before you or
your friends vote next May, find out what
men you can trust to settle this important
question. Bear this matter in mind, ask
your friends to help us in this matter and
we are positive that any candidate at
large and at least half of the candidates
of the wards can be defeated, if they are
found unfit.
A general meeting will be held in Feb
ruary or March to appoint committees for
each ward and to look after our interest
and the public and see that men ara elect
ed who will settle this Question f or a rj
time to come. , » ,

The friends of Assemblyman Albrecht,
who. have been suggesting his name as
one of the available candidates for nom

that liis nomination is impossible. Mr.
Albrecht, during his four years in the
assembly, "has opposed the interest of
the corporations on every measure before
the council. This position, while making
him many friends and supporters among
the voters, has not endeared him to the
gentlemen who are looking out ."or the
interests of the corporations. The result
of this is that while Mr. Albrecht might
get votes enough to elect him if nom
inated, the corporation interests will see
to it that he does not get enough votes in

The name of J. G. Wardell is being

Prink and George Robinson, the two men
from Sioux Falls, who were arrested for
breaking into the postoftice at Rowana,
was a case for the circuit" court, and ac
cordingly instructed the United States
jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal.
The prisoners have been taken back to
Sioux Falls. The postofflce -at Rowena
is kept in a store building, and It was
shown In court that nothing had been
molested around the postoftice part, but
instead the Tnen had carried away some
merchandise, which would take the case
rightfully out of the United States court.
The case of George Murphy, who was ar
rested with two other me»* at CenterviUe
for robbing the Dalesburg postofflce. ia
being tried. The marshal of Centervllla
testified that he arrested the three men.
and that when arrested they were wet
through and looked as though they had
walked some distance during the night.
The men stated to the marshal when ar
rested, that they had slept in an elevator
the night before, and a search afterwards
of the place showed a revolver, a skeleton
key and a lot of small change. Murphy
is a mere lad, and his attorney will make
a strong plea for him on this score.
There is but one more criimnal case left,
that of Arthur Two Haerts, an Indian
Irom the agency, who ia under arrest for
selling intoxicating liquor on the reserva
tion.
