A GRAND PARTHENlA.
Miss Edith Lindsay Gives n Splendid In
depreciation of the Part.


The theater-goers of Butte for some
reason did not turn out in large num-
bers last night to see "Ingomar" inter-
preted by John S. Lindsay, who is here
with his family and a few selected
actors. Miss Edith Lindsay as Par
thenia acted the part better than any
actress except Nance O'Neill who ever
graced the Grand with her presence.
Mr.. Lindsay takes up all the ups and
downs of Ingomar and attends to
them as the author intended they
should be. Probably the Grand patrons
thought that Lindsay and his support
came here to give transforming exhi-
bition, but in this prediction they were
mistaken, as those who saw the play
last night will testify Tonight
"Othello" will be seen with Miss Lind
say in the role of Desdemona, and to-
morrow night Damon and Pythias."

FEW CHANGES.
The Board of Equalization Gets
Through.
City Notes and Building and Loan, Saw
ings and State Bank Mortgages
Left on the List.

The board of equalization complet-
ed it's work Wednesday and adj burned
sine die. Although the books were
gone over carefully, very few changes
were made. B. @. Taylor appeared
last night and asked the board to re-
consider it's action in sustaining the
listing of the mortgages Of the Man
kato Savings bank for taxation. Inc
board declined to do this, but took
off the two national banks and left
the Savings bank. the Mankato State
bank, til Mankato Mutual Building
and Loan association and the notes
given by the city for money borrowed
on the list. 1t is likely that these In
situations will appear before the
county board and ask to be taken
from the list. 1t is predicted that
the taxation Of the mortgages OF the
building and loan association Will
seriously cripple that institution If
not destroy it, as capital will not be
satisfied with the small rate Of in
terest which it will return. The
same money will be taxed three
times, which IS hardly fair. The
stock holder pays tax on his stock.
The money which he put in is loaned
out and the mortgages are taxed.
The borrower builds house with the
money, and the house is taxed. Thus
the lo4ner is taxed twice and the
borrower once on the same money.
The loauer and the borrower are very
often the same man, as the borrower
pays for his Jock in monthly Install
ments. When his shares are nearly
paid for, he.iS paying tax three times
on his owa money.
The following changes were made
by the board:
Geo. Fl. Clark, furniture, lowered
$50.

WHAT 1T TEAMS.
rlankato Learning It--Learning it
Fast--Proof Not Lacking.

Everybody has it;
That tired feeling,
Don't know what it means;
Keeps you awake at night,
Destroys daily comfort,
Worries the body. Worries the
mind.
You would shake it off,
You would be healthful and strong.
SO you can.
If you go at it right
First learn what it means.
Some say it's bad blood,
Others say it's lazy liver.
They're all wrong
That tired feeling means tired
kidneys;
just as lame back means lame
kidneys.
And backache means kidney ache.
How do we know it?
Because Doan's Kidney Pills cure it,
And they are for kidneys only.
How can we prove it?
Because Mankato people say so.
Here is case IN point:
Mr.. FL. F. Shaw, of Dukes addition,
farmer says: Il was often troubled
with lame back so that could nardly
get off a chair, and sometimes l had
disagreeable sensations in the back of
my neck, and duh aching across my
kidneys. 1 doctored for this trouble
but obtained only partial relief. |
never found anything to surpass Doan's

fetal effects. The kidney secretions be-
came normal and the lameness and
aching left me-,

1t has been said within the last day
or two that certain parties in North
Mankato have taken steps to vote at
the annual school meeting next Satur-
day night to reduce the
length of the school year
considerably. 1t is understood that
the proposition is to reduce it to five
months This matter is stirring up
considerable feeling, and a packed
meeting will, undoubtedly. be the re.
suit Those who wish to give their
families the benefit of modern educa-
ton favor supporting good school for
nine months in the year. They feel
that all of the. interests of the com
munity are benefited by good school
This is undoubtedly true Any com
munity can lily afford to lower the
standard Of its schools and such a step
would be against the future growth of
the north side village.
