Thought Death Had Him.
Joseph N. chenet, Of Syracuse, Tells
Of a Terrible Exp rience.
How He Wa Saved.

SYRACUSE, N. Y.,-Joseph N. Chenet of
this city, tells of terrible experience
He thought Death had him, but he is alive
and perfectly well today.
Mr.. Chenet was in extremely bad health
and went to celebrated E,ie specialist for
treatment. When he told the specialist
that he had diabetes of four years standing,
the great man changed color, and after ex-
animation said: "Go home and enjoy what
comfort you may. You have but few
weeks to live. An. operation was recon-
mended, but the specialist SAID the patient
must be stronger to undergoit. Mr.. Chenet
adds:
81 kept growing weaker and weaker. ]
thought that death had me sure. One day
my sister In Winnipeg sent me paper III
which saw the wonderful cure of DIR. E. A
Rose, who was also afflicted with diabetes.
That gave me hope. 1 got six boxes Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and began taking
them. Before had finished taken the FIRST
box nv organs were well and strong. The
doctor would not believe was cured until
he made personal examination. Thanks
we've due to Dodd's Kidney Pills.

disease, arising from d;sordered kidneys,
that Dodd's Kidney Pills cannot cure.

In the first installment of his story
of the "Merrimac" in the December
Century, which is to be an unusually
attractive number, Lieut.. Hobson lays
no claim to having originated the idea
of blocking the channel at Santiago.
The sinking of the collier had been
orderered by Admiral Sampson, but
the commanding officer off Santiago
had not executed the vancouver when
the flag ship arrived, and the working
out of the plan, as we'll as it's execu-
ton, was intrusted to Lieut.. Hobson.
The preliminary steps are detailed in
this. number of the magazine, and in
later issues the story of the sinking of
the ship and the capture and imprlson.
ment of her crew will be given at first
hand. This is the only account of his
exploit that Mr.. Hobson has written
for publication.

Big Railroad War.

There have been all sorts of rumors
afoat during the past month of a
fierce fight between the Great Northern
road controlled by James J. Hill, Ind
the Northern Pacific, practically con
trolled by J. P. Morgan of New York
City. A close cooperation and pool
ing of interests, amounting to practi-
cal consolidation was the first report:
but since then it has been said to be
war to the knife, and that Mr.. Hill
who at one time was largely interested
in Northern Pacific stock has sold
out his holdings. The Minneapolis
Times, which is very hostile to the
Great Northern, has been chief pro-.
moter of these various rumors and re-
ports, and from that paper the
HERALD copies New York dispatch:
The Northern Pacific management
has determined to begin construction
at once of short low grade line from
Anoka to Carleton Junction, thus
connecting the twin cities with the
head of Lake Superior. &c..
The Northern Pacific will also build
a system of branch lines in the Red
River valley that will reach all i'm
portant points. ..#
These lines will put the Northern
Pacific in a position to command the
wheat traffic in the valley.
Northern Pacific immediate con-
struction in the far west, the Times
correspondent was informed today
will extend from Lewiston east to
Clearwater: west from Missoula
through Lolo Pass and down Clear
water, west from Lewiston down
Snake river and east from Ainsworth
up the Snake.
The Oregon Railroad and Naviga-
ton company, controlled by the
Union Pacific and Great Northern,
will thus be beaten by a years time
into this country. ~

The legislature will soon meet,
and among the many needed re-
forms is that of the supervision of
the county school system. The
election of superintendent, as at
present, is not at all satisfactory,
and best results cannot in the ma
ture of things be obtained. An
election does not by any means
carry with it such qualifications as
are needed for best results. Fur
thermore, every county, great or
small, has one superintendent.
Some counties have three times the
number of districts that others
have, consequently cannot secure
equal service. The superintend-
ents should be appointed by the
state department upon ascertained
fitness by examination; and the
commissioner districts so adjusted
as to give equal service to all
localities. The attention of the
legislature should be directed to
this much-needed improvement.

Mr.. PilIsbury's Opinion.

Charles A. Pillsbury, in an inter-
view with the Portland Me. Press,
makes the following comment upon the
state election in MINES ota:
Well, Mr.. Lind is a very popular
man. Prior to the free silver cam
paign he was republican and on
other questions than silver is still con-
sidered republican. He is Swede,
and the state abounds in citizens of
that nationality, most of whom are Re-
publicans. He received practically
the whole Swedish vote.
But the republicans have carried
every district in the state, and the
legislature will be republican, nearly
three to one. Both Minneapolis and
ST. Paul elected their members of con-
gress, but went the other way on the
vote for governor.
There isn't a state in the union more
sound on republican principles than
Minnesota. The Dingley tariff just
suits us out there. In fact, the bust
ness men there regard it as the only
tariff bill ever enacted that fairly
represented the west. So satisfied
is MINES Ota with the new tariff that
ii national election was to be held
tomorrow, the state would give at
least 80, 600 republican majority. The
lumber tariff Was especially pleasing
to the people OF my state for lumber is
one of our staple commodities.
Minnesota is also sound on the
money question, continued Mr.. Pills
bury. 1t hurt our feelings, two years
ago, to see the newspapers of the east
placing our state. in the doubtful list.
Why, we were never more doubtful on
the question of sound money than
your good state of Maine. We give
Mckinley about $1,000 majority, a
vote almost proportionately equal to
that of Pennsylvania or Massachu-
sets.
We indulge great deal in splitting
tickets over local issues. A man in
Minnesota who votes straight ticket
is considered a curiosity. The very
that man is nominated by
a firing" means death to his candi-
dacy. You never hear of Mime sofa
senator or congressman dabbling in
local politics.
Is business picking up in your state?
was asked.
Picking up? Yes; it has been pick
ing up for a year and a half. BUSH
ness is booming throughout the north
west. The farmers, with their big
crops, and many of them with money
to loan, are contented. ALI kinds Of
business is good. The demand for
-four is absolutely unprecedented
The rates on money are lower there
than here in the east, which is an un.
usual condition.
When asked if there was any truth
In the srumor Lnat he would be a cam
didate for the United States senate.
Mr.. Pillsbury replied: "No, sir.
There will be no opposition to Senator
Davis
