and five children, mostly grown, and a
brother in Milwaukee. He also has two

THE LAKE CRYSTAL BANK.
The Minnesota Southern Elevator
Attached.

The attorneys in the Lake Crystal
bank matter state that the payment OF
checks will probably be resumed to-
morrow or the next day. The bank ex-
aminer has investigated the case, and
believes that the bank can resume. He
found that the case of the embarrassment
was certain losses which the bank has
sustained, it Is said through dealing in
options in wheat at Chicago. The bank
attorney says that the assets exceed the
liabilities $25, 600. AS one result Of the
banks suspending the payment OF
checks the Minnesota Southern Eleva-
tor Co. of Lake Crystal has become IN
volved, and the elevator was seized on
an attachment Saturday night, on a
claim of something under 500, owed TO
Boynton, Jones & Piper, Of Garden City.
This forenoon another attachment was
secured against the elevator by Tomlin-
son, Boyhardt & Co., of St. Paul, on a
claim of 500. This latter attachment
was caused by the protesting of check
sent to refund money obtained through
an alleged misunderstanding. 1t is
thought that the elevator company is
badly involved

What Ais You?

Do you have obstruction of the nasal
organs, discharges from head and
throat, sometimes profuse, acrid and
watery, at others thick, tenacious mu-
cous, purulent, bloody, putrid and of
fensive; dull heavy headache most of
the time, with occasional splitting
headaches" are your eyes weak, wa
terry or inflamed; is there ringing in the
ears, with more or less deafness; do
you have to hack, cough and gag in your
efforts to clear your throat in the morn
ing; do you expectorate offensive mat
ter. scabs from ulcers, perhaps tinged
with blood; is your voice changed and
is there "nasal twang" to it; is your
breath offensive; are your senses of
taste and smell impaired? If you have
all or any considerable number of these
symptoms you are suffering from that
most common and dangerous of mala-
dies-chronic nasal catarrh. The more
complicated your disease has become
the greater the number and diversity of
symptoms, No matter what stage it has
reached. DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
which is sold by druggists at only 80
cents. will cure it. The manufacturers
of this wonderful remedy offer, in good
faith, $500 for case of this disease
which they cannot cure.
