WORST KIND XII OF CASE.
We Will Tell You if You
Will Believe 1t.
The Experience Of Well Known Per-
sons Ought Surely to BE
Convincing.

We ask you to read the following state
nent from a we'll known citizen because
he suffered from one of the worst kind
of cases of backache and kidney disor-
ders, and was cured by Morrow's Kid-ne-
ODDS If you are in the least way troubled
with a weak back or dlsordered kidneys,
use Morrow's Kid-ne-oids; they cure
every time
Mr.. w. Porter, elevator man at Mann
heimer Bros, corner of Robert and Sixth
street, says: 81 have been a constant
sufferer from kidney troubles for a long
time. I suffered with kidney backache,
rheumatism, nervousness and other dis
tressing and annoying symptoms of dis
ordered kidneys. l tried to get relief by
taking different kinds of kidney remedies,
but my trouble remained until 1 com
menced to take Morrow's Kid-ne-oids.
Ktd-ne-oids cured me of all my former
troubles. I gained fifteen pounds in two
weeks. My friends have noticed the
wonderful change In my appearance and
physical condition and want to know
what caused IT. I tell them Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids and advise them to give Kid
ne-oids fair trial. KId-ne-oids cannot
be praised too highly

WHAT THE PUBLIC GOT OUT OF

1t Has Been Hinted That Sensational
Developments VIII Attend the
Trial of ''DOwney's" Suit Against
the CIubIsWhen 1t Comes Up In
Justice JOhnson's Court This
Week. "

Considerable criticism is being INDUCED
In among patrons Of the fight at the st.
Paul Athletic club the evening OF the JEFF
fries-sharkey fight at Coney Island. con-
corning the attitude Of the club with re-
gard to the money taken in. The club has
refused to pay the alleged Jack Downey"
the share of 9the purse guaranteed him.
Charles Williams, the local colored boxer,
was given the decision, and there has
peen no tmputation that his part Of the
ngnt was not wholly on the square, but
MS part Of the purse was held up for sew
eral days. To get out Of paying the al
legged "Downey' the losers part of the
money the club claims the fellow was not
In reality Jack Downey, as he repre-
scented himself to be. Downey has sued
the club, and interesting developments
are looked for when the case is tried, as
the plaintiff, it Is said, will endeavor to
show that the Athletic club was on the
inside" and knew the alleged 'Downey"
was not the original Jack Downey," of
| Brooklyn, N Y.
The course followed by the club is iden-
teal with that pursued last winter when
the organization engineered a wrestling
match between Farmer Burns and Dan
Mcleod, which many people thought was
not on the square. The wrestlers refused
to wrestle the final bout, and the audience
went away feeling that the club had help
ed to take them in. Forthwith the club
announced that it would not pay the
money agreed upon.
This did not help the portion Of the pub
lice that thought 1t had been victimtzed.

the club managers that pro1ted The
position Is the same in regard to the Will
ms-"Downey'' f1asco The club pro-
poses to retain the money. What good
does this do those who paid to see that
sorry exhibition. It does not put the ad-
mission price back in their pockets but
simply enrIches the club managers by
the total sum Of admissions paid, instead
OF giving the club only its percentage, as
1t would receive If it gave the principals

seems as though the club benefits entirely

not, he contracted to go on with Williams

DE Pachmann got an inkling of the pres

any rate he departed from his usual Gus
tom of leaving the hall by the main en-

In the hotel De Pachmann talked ami
matedly with his manager, Mr. Henry
Wolfsohn. De Pachmann attracted much
attention, and the furore that his pres
ence seemed to awaken evidently did not
d1splease him. He is short, darkroom

De Pachmann elevated his shoulders,
spread out his hands, palms upward,

in the afternoon De Pachmann was in
the hotel lobby conversing with some
friends, when g travelling man joined in
the conversation with the easy sang

know a thing or two about music, and
the easy grace with Which he discussed
solfeggios, appregios and symphonies in
general made the pianist his friend at

that De Pachmann gesticulated with
more than ordinary abandon, and seemed
to admire the opinion of his new found

Prof. J. H. Lewis, state superintendent
Of public instruction, returned yesterday
from the meeting Of the state normal
school board, held at Moorhead Friday
The board passed resolution asking the
state high school board to modify its res
olution requiring all high school teachers
to be college graduates
The subject drew out a warm discussion
from several members of the board and
resulted in its adoption without the con-
sent of Prof. Lewis and Director W. S.
Hammond. both of whom took up the de-
Tense of the high school board
1t was submitted that graduates of nor
mails were not qualified to teach in high
schools when there were at least two sub
jects taught in the high schools that were
not included in the normal course. On
the other hand, those who voted for the
resolution felt that 1t would be an in
justice to the many normal graduates all
over the state who now teach in high
schools.
The discussion brought out some very
salient facts, the most important Of which
was the statement that the normal
schools have never fulfilled all their OBJ
legations to the other branches of the
euucHtIOnal system, and therefore had
from time to time been submitted to
attacks in state conventions and else
where The change contemplated was in
the best interests Of the high schools of
the state.
The discussion resulted in the appoint
ment Of committee. consisting of Presi-
dent Ankeny, Director Hammond and
Prof. Phelps, to confer with the high
school board.
The board was so we'll pleased with the
result of the meeting that it has decided
to hold at least one meeting each year at
each of the schools.
