RHEUMATISM.
Torture and Agony are its Attendants, In
Addition to this, the Fear of
Sudden Death.

Rheumatism, as is well known, is caused BY
acids existing in the blood, due to poisonous
secretons from some of the great life centres
of the body; which, if not counteracted anu
carried off increases from day to day, causing
the sufferer endless pain, until the disease
finally reaches the heart, where, by sudden
contraction the end is suddenly reached. The
cure for this terrible affiictiOn is in every
instance Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. 1t acre
directly on the stomach liver and kidneys,
promoting perfect action of these organs. In
addition it pmifeS the blood, which thus
performs its natural function of nourishing the
body. One of many instances where it has
been a benefit is the case OF Mrs. Jennie Cham

Dropsy. | had been afflicted for years, and

but could get no relief. My limbs were so

seven days the pains were all gone. The
Dropsy was cured, and | thank the good Lord

wish. Everyone in this county knows me-"
Sufferers everywhere should follow Mrs.
Chambers example. Use Kickapoo Indian
Oil for external application; it relieves the
local pain, while the Kiekapoo Indian Sagwa
is removing the cause of the trouble from the
system. The Kickapoo Indian Remedies are

MR.. MADIGAN IN.
A First Ward Judgeskip Question is
Settled.

There was some question as to who
was elected Republican judge in the
First ward. The county committee
recommended H. F. Shaw for election
judge and Patrick Madigan for ballot
judge The council decided not to ap-
point ballot judges, and the report
was corrected, recommending Mr..
Madigan for election judge, and the
report was then adopted, on motion.
Afterwards, City Attorney Pfau
thought that it would be better to
make the appointments by resolution,
and the names were inserted as
adopted by motion. Then, before the
resolution was passed, Mr.. Madigan's
name was stricken off and Mr.. Shaw's
interlined. The matter rested ia this
way until Tuesday morning, both
claiming to be the judge. The judges
met on Tuesday to copy the poll lists,
and Mr.. Shaw forgot to be present at
the forenoon session. Mr.. Madigan
was present, and in accordance with
the law, the voters present proceeded
tofill the vacancy of electing Repub-
lican judge, and Mr.. Madigan was
elected and took the oath. Had Mr..
Shaw been present in the morning,
the chances are that he would have
been recognized as the Republican
Judge.

For five weeks 1 lived on cold
water, so to speak, writes man who
suffered terribly from indigestion.
He could hardly keep anything on
his stomach. What stayed, wasn't
properly digested and gave him terri
BILE pangs. r
This is not an uncommon case.
Dyspeptics don't get enough nourish-
ment. They are generally thin and
weak
They may eat enough, but they
don't digest enough. Much of what
they eat turns into poison. If this
keeps on there's no telling aohat dis
ease they may get next.
That's why it is best to take Shaker
Digestive Cordial as soon as symptoms
of indigestion appear.
1t cures all evils of indigestian, and
prevents the evils which Indigestion
causes.

Now at Work

in Iowa laying out route for the eX-
tension of the new Winthrop line to
Jackson and thence southwest to
Omaha or Sioux City, it is not known
which. The Mankato branch of the
Rock Island, known as the M. q st.
L., will then be extended about due
west to strike this north and south
road.
81 have said that two routes
have been prepared, one to
come up on this side of the
river to the Milwaukee track
and on that cross the Omaha tracks
and come into union depot with the
Milwaukee; and the other is to begin
back at the McMullen quarry and
cross the river there and come up
through North Mankato. We will
never cross the river near the present
M. & ST. L. depot. General Manager
Mohler has told me that the
Plans are Prepared.
and that whenever the road gets
ready to make move it knows exact
ly what it is going to do. There will
be no change from the plans now in
the roads possession.
"Mr. Mohler also said that when
the road makes an improvement in
this city it will be a good one. The
depot will be more costly and hand
some affair than the new Omaha de-
pot. 1t will be big improvment,a and
it may be made next year"
There is no question but that next
year will be another important one
for Mankato in the matter of railroad
building.

More rumors were floating around
today regarding plan of the Milwau-
kee road and the M. & ST. L. road to
unite in building new union depot
in this city, at point accessible to
Front street. 1t was rumored that
the papers for the sale of the lots
between The Saulpaugh and the city
hall have been made out but not yet
filed. 1t is thought that there is lit
tie to this story.
W. B. Hickson, of Minneapolis,
superintendent of buildings and
bridges of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
railroad, spent last night and this
morning in the city, and while here had
a conversation with party who does
a good deal of work for the road. He
said that the road proposes next
year to extend westward from
this city to connect with the extern
sion of the Winthrop branch south
ward. A fine new depot will be built
in this city or across the bridge in
North Mankato. according to which
route is taken. The division head
quarters will remain in to this city,
and some important yard improve
ments will be made.
Agent Powers was seen this after
noon and denied any knowledge of the
rumored purchase of land. He finally
consented to make statement of
facts which have never thus far been
given to the public, which are sub
stantially these:
"When the old M. & St. L. depot
burned, there was talk of our road
coming into the Milwaukee depot,
and surveys were made and
everything understood, but the
Milwaukee wanted too much. The
scheme was then abandoned and our
present depot was built, but the mat
ter has been talked of from time to
time since, but not recently. 1t may
be brought to pass in the future. pos

an article on Corrupt Politics, (which

There is An instance where there is
very corrupt politics. which within a
few days has come to our attention.
A Democratic editor living not far

would act as party man, he ought to
support the candidates of that party
If he only does it for the money that

him many favOrs, we cannot call it
other than corrupt politics. The fol-

to a county candidate will explain
itself:

The Fate of a Message.

We weighed anchor on Oct. 81,
and when close to the south shore
sent off two boats in search of seals.
On this occasion one of the boats,
being swamped in the surf, was i'm
mediately crushed against the rocks,
its crew having a rather narrow es
cape from drowning. One of the
men fought bravely in the breakers
for half an hour, without relinquish-
ing his grasp on his rifle.
With scrupulous care we now
composed letter upon which each
of us carefully inscribed his sigma
ture. Having placed it in small
bladder which had been given to us
for the purpose by the Norwegian
consul in Melbourne, we consigned
it to the waves and leaned over the
bulwarks to see the mail depart.
