DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills and

Hobbs challenges the world for case
of kidney disease which he cannot cure.
Asparagus has been known for years to
the medical fraternity TO possess a GER

bine the medical properties of the
asparagus plant, with other valuable
diuretic and kidney healing remedies
known to the medical fraternity of the
world, in such a form that can TODAY
under his formula be regarded as a pos
tive specific for all forms of kidney,
bladder and urinary diseases in both
~exes. DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney
Pills will not only cure Bright's disease,
but all kidney troubles, diabetes, pain
in the back, sleeplessness, rheumatism,
govt, neuralgia, nervousness, etc. They
give new energy, new blood, new vigor
and health. They have cured thousands

The New York Sun talks like a
Dutch uncle to the gold democrats:
SIT is just as necessary in 1897 as it
was in 1896 for New York to show that
she is in favor of sound money. She
can do so only by voting the republi
-can ticket. Should she fail to do SO,
and so-called democratic ticket be
elected, no matter by what evasion or
Juggling of the real and national is
sues at stake, the forces of Organism
would begreatly and justlyehcouraged.
In particular, if this city should be
carried by the democrats, the demo-
cratic position in national affairs
would be strengthened tremendously.
The Bryan leaders will welcome aid
from the so-called gold democrats:
hut theyknow perfectly we'll that the
fruits of democratic victory will be
garnered by the supporters of the Chi
cago platform and by nobody else. 2

The nomination and prompt confirms
alton of Alvah Eastman for receiver
of the ST. Cloud land Office is fitting
recognition of the effective services OF
one of the best Representatives OF repub-
licanism in the state. Having convict
i9ns.She not only has the courage but
the. abii5fHs5 mainfAin and advocate
them in a manner convincing to his
readers. The Journal Press, whose
editor he is, has been a power in this
county particularly, and in the state
at large Were all the appointments
Z in Minnesota as wise as this one the
party would be strengthened immeasur-
ably. The government secures the
services of a thoroughly competent
officer, and the services of a thorough
ly competent man are recognized by
1he government.
LATER The announcements by the
associated press kilograms that Mr..
Eastman nomination has been con-
firmed is premature. Mr.. Towne has in
duced his silver friends in the senate,
who constitute a majority of the com
IN ittee on public lands, to which was
referred the nomination, to refuse to
report the nomination back to the SEN
ate, and at present it is tied up. Such
petty spite work on the part of Mr..
Towne is simply contemplate. 1t
may tend to feed the already obese
egotism of the late. statesman of the
Sixth District, but it will serve no
other purpose. Do not for a moment
think that it indicates any influence
over the Senate of the United States
as a body-it is merely the acquiescence
of three or fonr silver men in this
scheme of petty revenge of Mr.. Towne.
Behind it all is the present incumbent
of the receivership-C. F.. Macdonald,
of ST. Cloud-the man who turned the
quickest political backward somer-
sault of record-one day a bitter OPP
ponent of the free silver heresy, and
the day following one of its most true
ulent and superserviceable advocates.
This is the man who damned his pre-
decessor for not resigning to permit
him to take the office few weeks
sooner, and is now damning his suc-
cessor because he has been nominat-
ed too soon to suit this over fattened
g flee holder, But it will be all one in
the near end. Mr.. Macdonald will
S tep down and out and Mr.. Eastman
will step up and in.

Monthly Fairs.

We have received a poster announc-
ing that Brooten will hold her next
monthly stock fair on Saturday July
81. There will be sales of cattle,
horses, and all kinds of farm pro-
duce, and machinery. The stores will
give special sales on that day, thus
giving the farmers the benefit of low
prices. To make the fair of special
interest there will be interspersed with
the sales, line of sports, including
horse-racing, both running and trot-
ting, bicycle races, etc. These month
ly fairs are now being held in all en-
terprising country towns, both great
and small, in the state, and have al
ways resulted satisfactorily to both
town and country as source of
amusement and profit. They have a
tendency to stimulate farm industry,
the breeding and feeding of
stock of all kinds, and they are a
strong incentive for merchants to
oAiO" SiOeeoSi OhoCi ~ ISV III SSl0CUllisS
aud keeping up their stocks of goods.
n ow, why should not Sank Centre have
fairs? We have everything
to gain and nothing to lose. With
our favorable location we would cer-
tainly make them glowing success.
We are situated in the best farming
country in Minnesota, withgood roads
leading in from .all directions. Our
railroad facilities are such as would
insure a large attendance each month.
We are certainly missing it by allow
ing through carelessness these oppor-
uunities to 60 by. Some one should
at oncce take initiative steps to hold
our first fair not later than August,
and continue them through the fall
months. A movement of this kind
could be easily started as it requires
no outlay except a small amount for
advertising. { And by the expiration
of the fall months we should feel that
fairs were indispensable.
