Electric Ritters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
or any season, but perhaps more
generally needed, when the languid
exhausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need Of tonic and Alternative is felt.
A prompt use Of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con-
stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters. SOC. and 800 per bottle at

PLENTY OF WORK.
Tramps Need Not Go Begging for
Jobs Now.

Tramps are not so thick now al
they were last week. Many of then
are out working in the harvest fields
Somebody has started the theory that
the reason they have been SO thick is
because the report has been spread
through all the cities ,where the I'M.
employed congregate that harvest
hands are in great demand in this
part Of the country, and hundreds Of
them came here before harvest had
fully commenced. 1t is however
noticeable that not all of them want
jobs. Western Kansas farmers are
offering $3.50 to $l.75 day for har-
vest hands and cannot get them.
About so tramps were run out of Sa.
lima yesterday. If they want work
they car get it.

RULED OUT OF IOWA.
Minnesota INSURANCE Companies
Victims of Whim

The clash between the Iowa and Mime
sofa insurance departments has now reached
a crisis. The fight started last winter when
the Iowa man denied the Bankers Life of this
city license to solicit business in that
state because it would not allow stockholders
to vote by proxy at annual meetings of the
company. Insurance Commissioner Dearth
finding no legal excuse for this action. notified
the Iowan that retaHatory action would be
taken, and now the Iowa man has shut out
the three other Minnesota companies that have
been doing business in that state.
Unless the ruling Is changed the thirteen
Iowa companies doing business in this state
will be ruled out not on account Of any
one company, but because it is not right that
the Iowa companies should be allowed to come
into Minnesota and compete with home COM
panies for business unless the latter are al
lowede to go into Iowa and, upon compliance
with the laws Of that state, compete for bust
ness there.
The Minnesota companies that have entered
Iowa have complied with all the laws of that
state, and it is suspected the reason for
their exclusion was desire to keep down
the competition against the Iowa companies

CENTRAL MUST PAY.
Fireman SmithsOn Gets Big Yer
diet.

John Smithson, the locomotive fire
man whose suit against the receivers
of the Wisconsin Central railroad and
the Chicago Great Western Railway
company for $3.50 damages for the
loss of a leg caused by a collision, has
been on trial before Judge Willis and
a jury, secured a big verdict yesterday.
The jury awarded him as damages
$4,000. The verdict stands against the
Wisconsin Central railroad only, as the
court had previously dismissed the suit
as against the Chicago Great Western.
The case went to the jury at 2 p. m.
Thursday, and a sealed verdict was
returned shortly after midnight.
The accident through which the
plaintiff lost his leg, occurred in the
Chicago yards. Smithson was engaged
in the discharge Of bis DUTIES as fire
han on Chicago Great Western To-
connective. At that time the Chicago
Great Western and the Wisconsin Cen
trail roads were both using the Chicago
& Northern Pacific terminal tracks. A
collision ersued between the Chicago
Great Western locomotive and a Wis
consin Central engine, owing, so the
testimony showed to the fact that the
latter engine came to a stop on the
main line and failed to give a warning
signal.
Smithson lives at White Rock, MINI.
The court granted a stay Of forty days.
