MAKES PEOPLE WELL.
Most Remarkable Remedy in
the World.
One True Medicine for Lost
Nervous Strength.
Cures Effected by Paine's Ce' cry
Compound.
What Scientific Research Has
Accomplished.
Proved by Success Where all
Else Has Failed.

There is one true specific for
diseases arising from delibilated
nervous system, and that is the
Paine's celery compound so generally
prescribed by physicians. 1t is pro-
badly the most remarkable remedy
that the scientific research Of this
country has produced. Prof. Edward
e. Phelps, M. d., LII. D., of Dart
mouth college, first prescribed what
is now known the world over as
Paine's celery compound, positive
cure for dyspepsia, biliousness, liver
complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism,
and kidney troubles. For the latter
Paine's celery compound has succeed
ed again where everything else has
failed.
Washington correspondents have re-
Gently given it great deal Of atten-
tion since the wonderful cure effected
in the case of Commodore Howell.
The medical journals of the country
have given more space in the last few
years to the many remarkable cases
where the use of Paine's celery COM
pound has made people well than to
any other one subject.

CONGRESSMAN OTEY, of Virginia, is
satisfied that he has now Matched out
scheme for the pensioning Of the
ex-confederate soldiers. His PROPOSE
tion is that congress shall appropriate
not to exceed per cent on the
amount Of proceeds from property cap
tured by the government in the south
during the war and sold, estimated to
amount to S27,OOO,OOO. This sum is
to be divided among the states of the
ex-contederacy in proportion to the
sum they may see fit to use for the
purpose and directed to the support
of dependent eX-confederates. 1t is
quite brilliant scheme, but there is
no probability of any thing coming
from it just at present. 1t will be
noticed, however, that it is pension
scheme which receives no cOndemna-
tion from the administration cla-
queurs, who are so afraid there may
now and then be case of fraud
among the pensioners of the brave
defenders of their country.

MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION.
First Meeting Held Today, With
SauIpaugh Dinner.

The ministers of Mankato and
vicinity have formed an organization
andthe first meeting was held Monday
at Rev. L. w. Beattie's study. The
name of the organization is the Man
kato Ministerial Association, and a
meeting is to be held every two
weeks, at which paper will be read
and discussed. The officers are Rev.
Geo. r. Davis, president, Rev II. f.
Waring secretary and treasurer, and
Revs. Cleveland and W.ashburn, exc
cutive committee.
The object of the association is the
study and discussion of religious
work, and after each meeting a din
ner is to be partaken OF at The Saul
paugh, followed by social hour, and
this pleasant feature was inaugurated
today.
DR.. Cleveland read the paper today,
his subject being Natural Man" and
as it was philosophical in its nature, a
brief synopsis would not do it justice,
while lack of space forbids extended
mention. The next paper will be pre-
sented by Rev. Davis. The assocla-
ton starts out very successfully.

WORD FROM PROF. O'SHEA.
Something of the Work Which lie is
Engaged i'm at Buffalo.

We are in receipt of an interesting
letter from Prof. M. V. O'Shea, who
recently accepted the professorship of
the department of educational
psychology and child study in the
School of Pedagogy at Buffalo, N. Y.
From it, we learn that the school
opened with very much greater
number of students than was antici-
pated by anyone connected with the
institution, the most of them being
college graduates with lengthy re-
cords of successful teaching in varl-
Gus cities. Prof. O'Shea's work is
very extensive, for in addition to his
work in the school he has accepted an
invitation to deliver yearly courses of
lectures in the kindergarten Training
School, and to the Buffalo Normal
School faculty. He has been made
chairman of the Parents Club OF the
city Ito which club he is now entitled
to belong, a promising daughter hav-
ing arrived to bless his hOusehOld),
which is an organization composed OF
the leading citizens of Buffalo whose
purpose is the study of educational
questions, especially those involved in
the education of the young. Finally,
he has supervision of portion of the
work in the Franklin school, which is
the practice department of the School
of Pedagogy.
Mr.. and Mrs. O'Shea are both we'll
and delighted with their new home,
which will be pleasing information to
all their MankatO friends.

FIRE DEPARTMENT NOTES.
Some Arrangements Made by Man.
katO Fire Fighters.

Chief Phillips has received notice
that the 500 feet of cotton hose re-
Gently purchased by the fire depart
ment has been shipped, and it is ex-
pected to arrive in day or two. The
most of it will be kept at the city
hall station.
The chemical engine has been
brou rht back from West Mankato
and placed in the city hall, as it was
necessary to keep fire in the engine
house to prevent he fluid freezing.
A cart and reel of hose has been
taken to West Mankato engine house
to replace the chemical. The extern
sion of the water mains has made the
hose serviceable.
The two hook and ladder companies
have had their pictures taken this
week in groups with the trucks.
They will prove very attractive.

honest dollar, one that will pass for
it's face value the world over. But it
seems to have struck some of the 10
to free silver advocates in a sore
place. for it hit their so cent dollar
very hard, and the Penny Press
uses column in protesting against it
and says how doctor of divinity
can make such statement is beyond
its comprehension. This all may be,
and yet not be very strange. 1t is
curious how quickly the extremists of
the free coinage theory fly the track
as soon as any mention is made of
the fifty cent dollar, and charge the
one making such allusiOn, AN advocate
of the gold standard. DR.. HOyt may
have defended the single gold stan
dard, but the Penny Press quotes
nothing from his sermon to show that
he does, nor is there anything in
communication on the same subject
which it publishes, 1t is habit of
the extreme silverites to characterize
all who object to the free coinage of
the so cent dollar, as advocates of a
gold standard. AS matter of fact it
is doubtful whether there are really
as many people in this country who
believe in and advocate sirgle gold
standard as there are who favor 16
to | free coinage silver mOnOmetal-
lism. Very few of those who oppose
the independent free coinage Of silver
by this country alone, are advocates
of the gold standard. They favor Sc
curing, if possible, international ar
rangements, whereby the coinage of
both metals may be unlimited, and
failing in this they are in favor of any
system which will secure the largest
possible use of silver without endan-
gering the business interests. But
as this does not comply with the
wishes of the extreme silverites, they
charge any opposition to their par
ticular view, as favoring a gold STAN
dard. Just as consistently might

J. b. HUBBELL ON OIL CAKE.
A Former Mankato Man Writes on a
Subject of Interest.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press has been
publishing series of articles on the
value of flax seed oil cake for the
Northwest, and has received and pub
lished the following letter from a
former MankatO man which will be Of
interest to our citizens as we'll as of
value to the farmers:
St. Paul, Nov. 26.-To the Editor:
Your articles on flax raising and local
oil mills are Of inestimable value to
this Northwestern country. Perhaps
l appreciate them more especially,
having been the first in connection
with Willard q Hubbard of Mankato
to attempt to induce the farmers in
the southern part OF this state to raise
flax over twenty years ago, that we
might secure the seed for our linseed
oil mill. Liberal inducements were
necessary to get them to sow flax in
stead Of wheat, as it was considered
more exhaustive upon the soil. To
overcome this prejudice the writer
put in about 300 acres for several years
in succession upon his own farm,
mostly upon the same ground, and
although the soil was rather light and
sandy, it did not seem to exhaust it,
and other crops following upon the
same land appeared to be benefited.
At first we established tow mills about
the country and contracted to pur-
chase the entire crops, straw and seed
unthreshed paying S12 per ton, and
doing our own threshing. The tow
business proving to he less profitable
than the oil business, it was aban-
doned. The principal profit in the
latter arises from the cake, for which
there is an unfailing foreign demand
and it is nearly all shipped abroad. 1t
is probable that if the same energy
and capital had been applied to utilize
the flax fiber it would have proven
equally as successful and profitable as
the oil business, and Iagree with Prof.
Folwell that "the fiber will yet be
made to yield an income"
There is still another advantage in
the flax crop that seems to have been
overlooked, i. e., the value OF the
straw for fodder. l recall that horses
and cattle would leave the oat and
wheat straw stacks, also the hay, for
the flax straw, and it lay their coats
smooth and made them healthy.

FOURTEEN HUNDRED FISHES.
The Normal Receives Specimens from
the Smithsonian Institute.

The Normal school last week re-
ceived a big consignment OF speci-
mems for the Smithsonian Institute
at Washington, d. G. 1t consists OF
l. 400 specimens of fishes, all bottled
in alcohol, and representing all por-
tions of the country. The letter ac-
companying them states that they
were sent in view of the services OF
Prof. u. O. Cox on the .. S. fish COM
mission. The specimens are to be
classified and displayed by Prof. Cox
as soon as practicable, and addition
al shelving will be placed in the
museum to accommodate them.
The archaeological collection of the
school is now the largest in the state,
not excepting the state university.
The recent addition will be most val
liable, and is appreciated by the au-
thorities of the school, and by none
more so than Prof. Cox, in whose par
ticular department they will be of
most use.

THE best answer to Col. Ingersoll,
in his railing upon the intolerance of
Christianity, is that civilization under
the influence of the teachings of
Christ has progressed to a point
where it will allow him, for goodly
recompense, to stand up before a
gathering of his fellows and declare
he believes nothing in it and looks
upon the whole thing as fraud.
