HAS FITS NO TORE.
One of the Most Remarkable Cures
of the Age.
Miss Hesson of Sweetland, Iowa, Had
Falling Spells Nearly Every Day,
But Her Trouble is Over.

Sweetland, Ia, March 2O-The talk of
the town is the remarkable II r Of
Miss Hesson, who for years was sub
ject to falling fits. Her mother, Mrs.
Ed. Hesson, speaking of the case, says:
my daughter had a falling spell
nearly every day. DOdd's Kidney
Pills were recommended and we got
some for her. After she commenced
taking them she had only II falling
spell. She is now cured, and we do
not anticipate any more trouble in that
direction. I cannot say too much in
regard to the good the pills did her.
My daughter shrank from the pub
.licity that n testimonial printed in the
papers would give her, but after fur
ther consideration she has decided
that she owes it to all those who are
suffering IS she did to speak out and
let them know that there is a sure cure
for the awful falling fits. I will be
pleased to give all the information I
can concerning my daughter case to
mothers whose children are similarly
afflicted, If they write to me-"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are a positive
and permanent cure for all forms of
kidney disease. They are sold by
druggists at so cents a box or six
boxes for 3d. SO. Sent by mail on re-
ceipt of price by Dodds Medicine Co.,

The cases of the st. Anthony and
Dakota Elevator company against the
treasurer of Bottineau county, recently
decided in favor Of the plaintiff, in
volved a somewhat curious point.
It appears that certain Bottineau
county farmers storedin the elevators OF
the company quantities Of wheat, which
wheat was! listed by the assessor among
their effects subject to taxation, When
the county board Of equalization met a
resolution was passed instructing the
county auditor to transfer the grain
from the property list Of the owners to

that Of the elevator company. The COM
pany objected, but finally paid the tax
under protest, and suhsequently.brought
suit to recover. The point sought to be
established was that the equalization
board and the county auditor had ak
ceeded their authority when they under
took to perform the functions Of an
assessor and to assess as the property of
firm grain which did not belong to it.
The court took this view of the case,
and judgment was rendered for the
amount Of taxes paid, with damages.
