"a GREAT, BIG PIECE"

To THE EDITOR: I want to send for
sample plug of Battle Ak. under
stand G.. B. Hughes is agent for it for
the city of Redwood Falls, and he has
one man that has been using it since
the seventh day of January, 1896. He
says it is lie, but then we all know
better, for his man told us that was
all he got for his vote. Cheap way OF
buying votes.
I would think by the last paper
struck off by the Battle Ak editor that
the "niger" as he called him had no
friends, but I know he has lots of
friends, and he don't have to take up
with such friends as the defunct
Beard ring, by no means. But it
would be a poor "niger" that would
not be as good as any of the Beard
ring.
"Birds of feather flock together"
So it was with the Battle Ak editor
and his ring when F. l. Gleason, a
Saltwater dead beat was here and in
business with horse doctor Beard and
stole the dog license. The Battle AK
editor was one of his best friends.
Now, one bird of the flock has flown
to parts unknown, so the rest have to
stick together to save the rest of the
flock. Thew are set of leg pullers
from start to finish. They are your
friend as long as it comes their way.
If any one wants to get pedigree of
Beard and Gleason's way of pulling
legs just go and ask Mr.. S. Davis, the
ex-landlord of Park Hotel. He can
give anyone some good pointers on
Beard and Gleason's slippery tricks.
When Mr.. Davis first came to town
and went in with Beard and Gleason
everything went nice. Mr.. Davis was
a nice fellow as long as he walked in
the path of Gleason and Beard. As
soon as he would not jump into their
trap they had set for him, Mr.. Davis
was I'D rascal and Horse Doc
tor Beard and Dog License Gleason
were nice fellows.
[ would advise the Battle Ak editor
to take his medicine like little Mick
and get in good company.

account is large at times on account
of the expensive business he carried
on for the company. Last week he

pany officials appreciate his work
They know him very we'll and occa-
sionally when his expense account is

PETTY THIEVING.

To THE EDITOR: Please give me a
little space in your paper to warn peo-

sleds during meetings. We had a
package stolen from our sled last
night while at meeting. 1t contained
dry goods and a dress for my little
girl, a present for which she feels bad
ly. I think Redwood needs mission
airy work very bad. Our team was
hitched across from the hall by Dun

things safe they better take them in
the hall and sit by them.

Old People.

Old people who require medicine to
regulate the bowels and kidneys will
find the true remedy in Electric Bit
ters. This medicine does not stimu-
late and contains no whiskey nor other
intoxicant, but acts as tonic and al
terative. 1t acts mildly on the
stomach and bowels, adding strength
and giving tone to the organs, there
by aiding nature in the performance
of the functions. Electric Bitters is
an excellent appetizer and aids diges-
ton. Old people find it just exactly
what they need. Price fifty cents and

TWO Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction

had consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles DR..
Kings New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her
life. Mr.. Thomas Eggers, 139 Florida
st. San Francisco, suffered from q
dreadful cold, approaching consump-
ton, tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle of DR..
Kings New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. It is such results, of which
these are samples, that prove the
efficacy of this medicine in coughs
and colds. Trial bottles at Schmahl

Down in Brookville, district 40, we
found the teacher and pupils hard at
work scrubbing the schoolhouse. The
teacher, Miss Jensen, said she was de-
termined to have clean room. A
friend, a member of the school board,
had drawn barrel of hot water. You
will look long time before you find
more interested pupils in their school
house. The school is Scandinavian in
nationally but Yankee-American in
spirit. It's twin is up in district IS,
Swedes Forest. Both schools have
good libraries, supply free text books,
maintain s months of school and en-
ploy good teachers.
The free text book system is gain
ing all over the State. In this county
this year four districts have changed
from "the sale at cost to the pupils"
to the free text book plan. The sale
at cost is troublesome plan and OBJ
jectionable in many ways. We have
ninety districts in the county, of which
sixty nine furnish text books free to
the pupils, eighteen sell at cost and
three do nothing about the matter.
Our school libraries are growing in
size and they ought too. Several dis
tricts have added new books to their
school libraries this winter. We must
credit district No. 9, Sherman town
ship, Edward Lewis clerk, with the
largest library outside of Redwood
Falls and Lamberton. Mr.. Lewis has
nicely made catalogue,had it printed
so that each pupil can see just what is
in the library. District No. 9 is pro-
gressive. Miss Ella Root is the teach
er. This is her third years work in
No. 9.
