This Is the Honest Plan Laid Down by the Great Specialists at the Minnesota State Medical Institute.
YOU PAY IF
YOU ARE CURED
Af.d you do not pay If you arc not
cured. An absolute cure is guaranteed.
The Minnesota State Medical Institute be
lieves it wrong for any doctor to take
money from a. patient unless he actually
effects a cure.
If you nre null eiiiiK from any dis
ease call on them. They will charge you
iiothiiitT for an examination or consulta
tion, and If your case is curable they •will
take it on their honest plan of
NOT A COLLAR NEED BE PAID
UNLESS CURED.
The out-of-town people while In
tho city are calling at the Minnesota State
Medical Institute for an X-Ray examina
tion. Others come hundreds of miles to
get cured. Its practice extends all over
the United States. Every train brings a
patient from a distance to be cured. All
cures are guaranteed.
THE X-RAYS
Used to Find Disease,
The X-l{aj« will he nxcil on nil
patients who feel that they have any dis
ease of the Lungs, Heart, Stomach, Kid
neys or Bladder. The old method of ex
amining with instruments and pounding
with the linger* la not satisfactory—it is
only guesswork. The doctor caii only
tell you what he thinks is the trouble,
and such examinations are enough to
ecare any one. All people troubled with
unknown or hidden disease should be ex
amined with the X-Ray light, for by its
use the very inside of the body can be
seen and the exact amount of disease
ascertained. If you fear you have any
disease be examined now ere the disease
sets too deeply seated.

Cleared In When the Argument*
lesfenlaj- in the Governor*** Room
at (he Cnpitol Reached a Late
Conclusion.
p LOBE'S MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE.
O SO WASHINGTON AY. SOUTH.
Gov. Llnd devoted yesterday entirely to
hearing arguments for the prosecution
and defense in the case against Register
of Deeds Frank C. Metcalf, of Minneago
11b, for irregularities in the management
of his office.
The governor had gone over thoroughly
all the testimony in the case, and made
notations thereon, so that when Attorney
Victor E. Welch, for the defense, at life
conclusion of his exhaustive argument,
offered to leave the record again in the
governor's hands for reperusal, the latter
declared that It would be unnecessary.
He said he was nearly prepared then to
render a decision in the case, but he
Wished to consult with the attorney gen
eral this morning on one or two points
©f law. He would then announce his de
cision. If it be adverse to Metcaif, the
register of desds of Hennepin county will
be deposed from office.
The forenoon hours were consumed by
Attorney J. C. Haynes, for the state. The
state's contention was, he said, that the
deed recorded was a false one, and that,
therefore, the record and all that fo'now
«d it was false. April 14, 1899, a warranty
deed was given by Mre. McNair to Ilhine
hold Zeglln. When presented for filing it
had been assigned to book 494 of deeds.
Subsequently the deed disappeared. Aft
er this had happened, one of the office
force, Miss Mueller, was given a deed for
A Perfect Balance \
Of mind and body was the Roman
Idea of perfect health. They de- ll
fined this balance as "a sound n
mind in a sound body." A weak ll
or sickly body tends to drag down U
the mind to its own level. Keep \\
the body in health and the r-ina II
will take care of itself. The health H
of the body depends mainly on two j 1
things: A sound stomach and pure H
Wood. Dr. Pierces Golden Med
ical Discovery preserves the bal- JJ
ence of health, because it makes
the stomach strong and the blood
pure. People who had not had a U
well day in years, nervous of body,
depressed of mind, have been per- ll
iectly cured by the use of " Golden

Many old men and women suffer much
from bladder trouble. They have to get

then it comes so hard and slow and pain
fully that it is a great dread. The trou

record. It was recorded in book 51 j. In
this book the record was erased and !h^
deed recorded in what is known as th'
miscellaneous book. No other deeds ha;l
ever been recorded in this book. By iha
defense it was claimed that, for a soo
ond time, the deed was lost. Repeatol
demands were made by Zeglin for a cer
tified copy of this deed, and finally Regis
ter Metcalf tendered him what purported
to be a certified copy. This he refund to
accept.
By the prosecution the claim was set.
up that no discovery of the original dead
had ever been made, but, from data se
cured, a new deed was "cooked up," ana
that it was the false deed which had bier,
iecorded.
It is conceded by Gov. Lind that the ex
amination is not a criminal action, find
Attorney Haynes indicated that it wag
for the protection of property owners,
adding that a removal from office was j
not a very heavy punishment anyway. To
this statement Attorney Welch" took in
dignant exceptions in his argument, say
ing that to blast the reputation of a man
for life was by no means a light or trifling
affair.
It was the line of defense, as presented
by Attorney Welch in the afternoon, that
the deed was a true one. In his arraign
ment of Miss Mueller, who had le&tifi-d
against Metcalf, he was severe. He said
that counsel for the state had suggested
by innuendo that a certain record hai
been obliterated. It was their theory that
some one had caused to be made an ex
act duplicate of the deed and recorded
it. But was Metcalf trying to hide any
thing? No. The motive for taking out
the record was exactly as Miss Mueller
had stated it on the stand. No one had
been Injured by any of the transactions
of which Metcalf stood accused. So far
from being false, they showed truthful
intent in every particular. April 14 the
deed came into the office, as stated by
Miss Mueller. All was correct and reg
ular. Book 494 was filled on the 13ih of
April, and. consequently, another V>ok
must be found for this deed.
As an official Metcalf could not be re
moved unless the record was false. How
could the governor say that this was
true? To be false it must be contrary
to the original. But nil the records cor
respond with that irade April 14 The
testimony of the notary verifies this. A
preponderance of the testimony went to
show that the record was not a false
one. To all appearance it was a gen
uine deed. It was true that Miss Davis,
one of the witnesses of record, was a
oousin of Mr?. Metcalf, wife of the de
fendant. The attorney believed she had
told the truth. He would believe her
word against that of a girl who swore
that she would lie off the stand, but tell
the truth on it.
In conclusion Attorney "Welch said he
had thrown upon the case the strongest
searchlight he could in order to find a
motive for Metcalf's committing a
wrong. He could not find such a mo
tive. It had been claimed that he had
clone it in order to avoid responsibility
for the loss of a deed. But competent
attorneys had told hm that he had in
curred no responsibility. Some miscreant
had cut the leaf from the book. Then
he had sought to repair the loss by
providing a new deed. Everything had
been open and above board on the part of
Register Metcalf. Mr. Welch said he
believed Miss Mueller had told the truth
up to the time she had become vindictive
toward Metcalf on account of his testi
mony which had conflicted with her own.
Judge Larson, of Minneapolis, spoke
briefly in behalf of the prosecution, in
reply to Mr. Welch. He said the state
had been compelled to go on a fishing
excursion after evidence from the start.
They had obtained results little by little
as it had. filtered through the testimony
of many witnesses. Judge Larson stated
that Miss Mueller had written a letter
to Mrs. Metcalf as one woman to an
other in order to soften the grief and an
guish; of a wife over the wrong done by
her husband.
This Attorney "Welch denied, and said
the record showed no such thing, but
that Miss Mueller had written a letter
stating what she at that time believed
to be true. Attorney Haynes interjected
the information that the record showed
that Miss Mueller had offered to see Mra.
Metcalf personally, but that Mrs. Met
calf had desired her to write a letter in
stead. Attorney Welch said this was
not true. Attorney Haynes insisted that
he was right, and when the official rec
ord was compared with the stenographic
report of evidence prepared for the de
fense it was discovered that they did
differ and that in the main each at
torney was correct.
This concluded the summing up of the
case, and the governor will tomorrow an
nounce his decision.

mouth or on the tongue, sore throat,
swollen tonsils, falling out of the hair or
eyebrows, and finally a leprous-iike de

GOADED BY STARVATION.
Frank Hoffman Tells How He Suf
fered the l'Hitu'H of Hanger.
The story of want, suffering, and down
right starvation related by Frank Hoff
man to Judge Holt, in the police court
yesterday, sounded more like a strange
dream than anything that could have ac
tually occurred in real life.
Hoffman 13 the man who was caught
last Saturday in the act of robbing the
contribution box in the church of Our
Lady of Lourdes, located on the East
side, and he admitted the theft, saying
that he had been goaded to the act by
starvation.
The man's wretched appearance and his
manner excited the sympathy of the
court, who only Imposed a sentence of
thirty days, it being the intention to
look up his antecedents at Valley City.
After he had passed back into the bull
pen Inspectors Smith and Hicks, who had
been making some inquiries on their own
hook, ascertained that he had once been
arrested on the charge of robbing a
church at Fargo.
He admitted the arrest, but said he had
been exonerated. The inspectors then took
him to a second-hand store on Washing
ton avenue south, where the proprietor
identified him as the man who had sold
some lace torn from the altar at St.
Charles' church, on Thirteenth avenue
south, last fall. He indignantly denied
this, but despite bis hard luck story the
police are inclined to think that he is a
professional, and his record will be look
ed up.

The Discovery Cured
My Consumption.
Mls» S. SandbevK, Hullock, Mlnn.i
"The consumption came upon me grad
ually from colds. I slowly lost my flesh
until I could hardly walk. The pains in
my chest and night sweats s?emcd to be
taking me down very fast. I had two sis
ters die of consumption, and feared I
would soon die also. Reading of the Min
nesota State Medical Institute's new
treatment for the cure of consumption I
went to them. After an X-Ray examina
tion they said they could cure me. They
guaranteed me a cure. I was under
treatment four months, and I am now
entirely well. What a blessing to be well
and strong a#ain."

to answer. He is bonded to the extent of
$125,000.
It is understood he is negotiating with
a bonding company to furnish a satisfac
tory bond. There has been talk of bad
management in his office for some
months, but he claims the aclion of cer
tain bondsmen is influenced by his refusal
to discharge his deputy, Charles A. Ber
nick, who is distasteful to a surety for
$10,000, with whom he has had a neighbor
hood' quarrel.
The thirteen bondsmen who Tiave asked
to be released represent $51,000 of the $125,
