EMPEROR DOOMED.
Has Bright's Disease and Famous Physi.
clans Have Given Him Up. Thous-
ands of Cases Cured.

Buffalo, Nov. Estate dispatches
from Pekin. China, bring information
to the effect that Emperor is dying of
Bright's Disease. He is now under
the care of a famous French physi-
clan, who says that the Emperor's
complaint Is ian incurable kidney
disease"
The famous French physician is
mistaken.
There is no incurabIe kidney
disease.
In this city. where the only remedy
that can positively cure Bright's
and all other Kidney Diseases is pre-
pared and where numerous cures
have been effected by it's use, the
statement of the famous French
physician reads strangely enough.
DOdd's Kidney Pills have cured
thousands of cases of kidney disease
that have been pronounced "incur.
able" by doctors They have never
scored q failure.
r. j. Baxter. an engineer on the
Western New York & Pennsylvania
Railroad, had Bright's Disease. He
was reduced to mere skeleton, and
was given up by the doctors. He
says: cat that time I had prepared
to die" Today he is a we'll and
powerful man, and is again running
an engine. To reporter of Buffalo
newspaper Mr.. Baxter said:
ga friend also On engineer on the
road, told my folks of sure cure,
Dodd's Kidney Pills. I determined
to make that one effort to regain
health and strength. 1 bought a sup
ply of Dodd's Kidney Pills and began
using them. In few days my con-
ditiOu began to improve. Two
months from the, day l began using
Dodd's Kidney Pills I surprised the
W. N. Y. & P. K. R. company, by ap.
plying for work."

A GOOD MOVE.

GOOD MOVE.
Austin Transcript:
In one of the district schools in this
county, the Australian system of bal
lots was introduced and explained
and the pupils were given chance at
practical voting. Why would this not
be good idea to introduce universal
ly. Those who have TO do with in
speeding ballots know that there Is
still a good deal Of ignorance among
the masses in regard to voting the
Australian ballot correctly.

WHAT a blessing it would be to have
the newly elected legislature meet,
organize, elect United States sena-
tor, make the necessary appropria-
tions and adjourn sine die twenty
days after assembling. But legisa-
tors are not usually built that way
and in all probability the present
body will be no exception to former
legislatures and the members will in
all likelihood introduce hundreds of
bills and remain in session the time
allowed by the constitution.

BOARD ACTS.
Business Men Dislike the Omaha
! Move.
he Board of Trade Talks Over the
Matter and Refers il tOa
Committee.

The board of trade Monday morning
considered the matter of the removal
of the division headquarters OF the
Omaha road from Mankato to st.
James, and general regret was ex-
pressed at the move. 0. w. Schmitt
said that the removal of so many
persons drawing good salaries would
be loss to the business interests of
the city. and thought that the matter
should be looked after and the head
quarters kept here if possible. 1t
was certain that the headquarters
could not be gotten back unless an
effort was made.
John Klein thought that the road
would do what it thought would be
for it's best interests, and could not be
persuaded to do otherwise.
M. B. Haynes said that public SEN
tinient has large influence in the
action taken by railroads. He was in
favor of action.
f. M. Currier said that he had
talked with an official of the road,
and this official had said that the
order had core as a surprise. Mr..
Currier thought that it must have
been an important consideration that
caused the road to decree such a
change, after having fitted up such
fine offices IN this city as it has just
abandoned. He had no faith that
anything could be accomplished, but
thought that it was all right if the
board wanted to try.
M. G. Willard spoke of the need for
more manufacturing establishments
in the city, and said the city should
encourage the coming of these in
order that the railroads may see the
,desirability of favoring Mankato.
Much railroad building in this vici.
nifty is being talked Of, and there is
going to be much money spent in
building railroads all about US. Many
manufacturing plants are breaking
up in the east and coming west, This
is particularly true of GloversYille
and Johnstown. We should have
our eyes open and get some of these
factories.
Mr.. Currier said that freight rates
are such that Mankato cannot COM
pete with st. Paul and Chicago in
the territory northwest of here.
Mr.. Willard said that the oil mill
had been closed down because it could
not compete on account of freight
rates.
Mr.. Haynes moved that the matter
of the removal of the division head
quarters be referred to the committee
On railroads to see what can be done.
This was carried. The committee
consists of L. Patterson. Geo. T..
Barr, r. D. Hubbard, f. M. Currier
and j. b. Meagher.
M. B. Haynes called attention to
the sugar beet crop in Blue Earth
county and moved that a committee
of three be appointed to collect facts
regarding the culture of these beets
and publish them. This was carried,
and Messrs. Haynes, Noe and Currier
were named as committee.
There being no further business,
the board adjourned.

scene So Unique In Our History
That the story of 1t Will Flash

turned from a trip to Victoria and ada

in terms of warm appreciation of the feel

no doubt made doubly obvious by the sig
niiicant fact that the Fifth regiment. Ca
madam artillery. is now preparing to take
part in the coming Fourth of July celebra-
ton in Seattle. With regard to this fea-
ture or the occasion Gen. Metcalfe makes
the following suggestions:
Il am. and no doubt many others who
have not publicly spoken are anxious that
on the occasion of the Fourth OF July
demonstration in Seattle the English col
ors in the form of flags and bunting be
displayed upon the streets and from the
houses lavishly and conspicuously This
can be done by both the committees in
charge of the day, and by the citizens in
dividually. The Fifth regiment. Canadian
artillery. armed and in full dress. will
march in the line Of procession. This will
be an incident which has never, except
once. occurred in the history OF the
United States. that once being at the
Worlds Columbian exposition.
From the fact that both governments
have entered so heartily into this Anglo
Saxon entente. we. as the representatives
OF the one, should extend every courtesy
to honor the military envoy of the other
that their welcome may tie as loyal and
gracious as the invitation under which
they come. The Canadian regiment will
march under Lieut.. Col. Prior, command
ing. Especially from the arches, beneath
which they march. should hang draped
the royal emblem Of Great Britain. We
could offer to our guests no tribute more
gracious or more grateful TO themselves
Let us give IL. The intelligence that an
