THE MAYORS MESSAGE.
Slurs Against the Old Soldiers
Therein Uncalled For.
MIR. EDITOR:

MIR. EDITOR:
Your valuable paper, issued on the
18th inst, is at hand AMI l have just
been reading from it the mayors
message. am not surprised that it
contains nothing that a message from
mayor should contain, or that it is
conspicuous only for it's diarrhea OF
words and constipation of ideas.
For man who has been supported
at the public crib for 10. these many
years and who. claims to be by
occupation a politician, who assid-
uously worked his wind instrument
u home while the "oli soldier" was
enduring privatiOns, hardship and
dangers of active warfare in the
endeavOr to keep the glorious old
stars and strips aloft, to crush out
the hydra headed monster secession.
and to perpetuate the union formed
by our ilIustrious fOrefa theirs, for
such man 1t looks well indeed to
slur the old soldier, who saved the
government, which has SO long fed
the old politician whose only effort
resounds in wind! Those that know
his honor are not so much surprised
that the tone of his message ia
deadheat and wind instead Of the
affairs of the city over which he has
been elected to misrule, since he Ia
unQuestionably better posted in the
former than in the latter. Judging
by the vote he received the people
thought the city could he best run
on wind. and SO the wind mill
received u handsome majority. The
people elected in haste, to repent at
their leisure. Even the undersigned
cast a vote for the "old settler" but,
like many others. if the good Lord
will forgive him, he will never do go
again.
And If some of the old soldiers
and ,ieadbeats referred to should go
to Fitzgerald, Ga. we shall still be
in the the United States, and have
the satisfaction of knowing that we
at least were not supported by this
or any other county while in this
state. We would not have noticed
or answered this message only a
large number Of the old soldiers
requested us to DO SO, which we have
concluded to do.

TO REBUILD THE BRIDGE
A Citizens Meeting to Plan for
Rebuilding of the Mississippi
Bridge at Two Rivers.

From the Royalton Banner.
An informal meeting OF d few OF
the citizens of Royalton. Bellevue,
Elm Dale and Two Rivers was held
at Geo. Geissel's store in Two Rivers
Tuesday afternoon at 2 O'Clock. The
object of this meeting was. II possible,
to devise some way to replace the
Mississippi river bridge which was
taken out by the high water Tues
day, April II. Those present from
this side of the river were: DIR.
LOnsdale, I. w. BOuck. F. II. Lakin.
O. H. Havill. r. X. CArnes and A.
w. Swanson; from Elm Dale, County
Commissioner jacobson, w. Davis
and August Nelson, the latter two
being members OF the town board;
from Two Rivers, Geo. Geissel,
Chairman Burggraft and q number OF
others. The meeting was called to
order by Geo. Geissel and DR.. Ions
dale was chosen chairman and A.
W. Swanson secretary. The question
of another bridge was freely dis
cussed by nearly all present and the
concensus of opinion seemed to be
that bridge was a necessity. The
only matter upon which there was
u difference Of opinion was how to
raise the money with which to build
Il bridge and where to locate it.
Mr.. Geissel preferred to have the
new bridge put in east OF North
Prairie at what is known as Burg
CRAFTS ferry. If built there he would
give in aid of the bridge 81 1000.
Others preferred the old site for the
reason that it would accommodate
a larger number Of Morrison county
people and could he built for less
money.
A majority OF those present
thought the county should replace
the bridge. 1t was used more than
any other bridge in the county, with
the single exception of the bridge at
Little Falls, and if the city people
were not counted, then more than
any bridge in the county. For the
reason that it is Indispensable to a
very large number OF Morrison coun-
ty citizens the county should replace
it. 1t was agreed that committee
from each town meet with the county
mmissioners Saturday and urge
i'm m ediate action.

Increased Wheat Acreage.

Brainerd Dispatch: More acreage
will be sown to wheat in Crow Wing
county this year than at any other
time in the history of the county,
the reason being that last fall farm.
ers who had wheat to sell could
always get cash. while other pro-
ducts went for little or nothing, and
hard work to dispose OF the yield at
any price. Many thousand bushels
of oats were raised here and much Of
the crop is still in the farmers gran.
aries waiting for a price which will
warrant selling. The prospect for
good crops the coming season Is
very encouraging.

In the way of new bridges to replace
the ones destroyed the first OF the
month by the high water. Rep'
resentatives were present from
many towns, all anxious for help
from the county.
1t developed that the loss IN the
county amounted to many times the
amount of money that the com
missioners had available. The
commissioners figured that there
was about $4,000 to appropriate

applications were al follows:
Bellevue town, for bridge across
Platte, $3.50.
The south part OF the county
wanted $4,000 to repair the bridge
over the Mississippi west Of Royalton.
Swan River town wanted $500 to
replace the several bridges destroyed
in that town.
Belle Prairie considered $3.50 q
moderate demand for the amount OF
help needed to place the bridges OF
that town in proper condition.
Randall wanted $3.50.
The town of Buh had several
bridges to repair, fnclndiEg one
across Platte a few miles above
Gravelville, and that town wanted
$3.50.
Motley had lost three of her most
important bridges-One across crow
Wing and two across Long Prairie
and 81, 200 was wanted.
Pierz had suffered loss, and
wanted $500.
There were other applications,
and large delegations from the diff
ferent towns appeared to urge their
claims, 1t was the most animated
session the county board had held
for m on this, and the appeals made
to them were energetic and
determined.
Among those present were A.
Sitzman of Pierz; A. L. Cole, OF
Motley; Chas. Hauer, OF Buh and
10 Leigh, of Bellevue. The Royal
ton delegation was the largest and
included DR.. Putney, Geo. Wilson, l
w. Bouck, M. N. Miles, B. Fitzam, A.

When your stomach begins to trouble
you, it needs help. The help it needs is
to digest your food, and, until it gets it,
you won't have any peace. Stomach
trouble is very distressing, very obsti-
nate, very dangerous. Many of the most
dangerous diseases begin with simple
indigestion. The reason is that indiges-

weakens the system and allows disease
germs to attack it. The antidote Is
Shaker Digestive Cordial, strengthen

digestion and renews strength and
health. 1t does this by strengthening
the stomach, by helping it to digest your
