some Pertinent Questions
That Can All Be Answered
With one Reply.

Why is it that in Little Falls and
it's suburbs with combined pOpu-
lation OF 5000 there is only one medf.
cinal preparation which gives state
ments from residents to back up its
representations.
Why is it that DOan's Kidney Pills
do this in Little Falls as well us in
every other city and town Of any i'm
pOrtance in the Union.
Why is it that there are advertised
in every newspaper a dozen remedies
and only one can supply local proof,
local endOrsation of it's claims.
The solution of the problem is sim
pie. Only one remedy has the sur
ing and the staying power. Other
remedies make all Kinds of gigantic
yet futile efforts to get local proof,
but the attempts in producing a
statement or two from places that.
as far as Little Falls is concerned
might just as we'll be in the moon.
Here is Little Falls proof which
backs up the merits OF Doan's Kid
ney Pills:
Mr. John Lenor, of Fourth St., No.,
says: II never used any medicine
which gave me more satisfaction
than Doan's Kidney Pills. l was
bothered for a long time with a
persistent, dull pain across my kid
neys, and the secretiOns from those
organs were irregular and unnatur-
al l did not rest well nights, and
felt languid and generally run down.
If caught cold or over exerted my
self it settled in my kidneys and ag-
gravated the complaint. When in
Wetzel's Pharmacy one day I was
advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills;
acting on the advice l commenced
the treatment. l was benefited at
once, and after finishing the box the
backache disappeared and there has
been no return of it since"

Simple Day Gowns.

For day gowns nothing looks fresher
or prettier than white serge or white
pique, and quite simple etyle is best.
A perfectly plain skirt with a fair
amount OF fullness may be worn with
a lawn or cambria blouse in pa]e pink,
blue or green. A coat is by no means
necessary, but 1t may be donned occa-
sionally, when the air is fresh by>riVer
or shore. The shapes which are most
worn at present are the short boleros,
which are first cousins to Elton jackets
and which very often clear the waist
line at the sides and back and come
down to a point in front and tho little
sack coats which are quite loose fitting
and exceedingly comfortable

Story of q Slave.

TO be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is the
worst form of slavery. George D.
Williams, of Manchester, Mich, tells
how such a slave was made free.
He says: MY wife has been SO help
less for five years that she could not
turn over in bed alone. After using
two bottles of Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able to
do her own work. This supreme
remedy for female disease quickly
cures nervousness, sleeplessness,

Common sense tells a woman that when
she's sick she needs a doctor.
Common sense tells woman that in
disease the first question is not of man or
woman, but of recognized medical ability.
Common sense applied to advertisements
which invite women to "Write to woman
because she is woman and understands
women" will show the women so appealed
to- that it's no use to write to any woman
about disease unless that woman is
physician.
Common sense used in the reading of
advertisements will discover that no claim
IS made In them to physician's knowl-
edge or diploma. And that is not because
the claim would be morally culpable as a
lie, but because it would be legally pun
ishable as fraud. The law permits you to
masquerade as doctor in an advertise
ment, just 80 long as you don't actually
your name. That's why the advertisement
IS worded "write to woman " instead of
write to a doctor.
Common sense has brought more than
half-a-million women, afflicted with some
form of female disease, to DR.. r. v. Pierce
as one OF luS uOSI CApGIl physicians IN the
United States in the treatment of female
diseases. DR.. Pierce is specialist. He
has given more than thirty years of active
practice to the treatment Of female dis
eases. DR.. Pierce is not a physician " BY
courtesy. He is physician regularly grad
uated, legally empowered to practice and
with thirty years Of experience in the treat
ment of diseases of women, which he has
made his specially.
The offer of free consultation by letter
made by DR.. Pierce is real offer, an honest
offer. It is an offer backed by medical
institution, with worldwide reputation,
a staff of nearly score of regularly grad
everv state in the Union and record of
more than halfa-million women treated
and ninety eight out of every hundred

Mabel Tiff, aged II years, was
drowned in the Mississippi Just
above the dam, last week. While
standing on a log to dip water from
the river with pail, she slipped into
the stream, and was drowned. The
body was soon recovered.
Brainerd will have a great celebra-
ton of Labor day-Sept. 4. An ef-
fort to exclude from the parade and
management all but members of Ia
Dor unions was defeated.
BOY, HAMMER, CARTRIDGE.
The above combination, says the
Dispatch, resulted very disastrously
to a ten-year-old lad by the name Of
Kalland on Saturday afternoon last.
The boy had in his possession a
Krag-J OrgensOn cartridge and
thinking it would be the proper
thing to explode it he put the car
fridge on a block of wood and with
a nail on the cap he hammered away
with the usual result in such cases.
The bullet went through his right
hand and struck his leg near the
knee ranging upward and lodged
somewhere near the thigh where it
still remains. No serious result is
expected, but it is a great wonder
that the boy was not killed outright.
John Warden, employed in the
Northern Pacific planning mill, caught
his left arm in some machinery, and
it was cut so that it had to be am
putated at the elbow.

ESKRIDGE SUED.
Effort Made to Throw Him Into
Bankruptcy.

Suit was begun in the United States
district court today to force c. ".
Eskridge, the veteran editor of the En-
poria Republican, into bankruptcy, I'M
der the federal bankruptcy law that
went into effect last fall. The action
is one of the results of the Cross Ma
tional bank failure and is one of the
few suits of the kind that have been
brought in Kansas.
The action is brought by the First
National Bank of New York and the
Fourth National bank of ST. Louis.
Each of them holds a note given by Mr..
Eskridge to Martindale and Cross for
$4,000, and by them sold to the banks.
The first note was given by Mr.. Esk-
ridge on October oath of last year and
was due on January 1. This is the one
that is now held by the First National
bank of New York. The other note was
given on Novem Der IA, a day or two
previous to the crash of the Cross
bank. 1t was due on December Is and
is held by the Fourth National of ST.
Louis. Both of the notes draw 6 per
cent interest.
These are the two notes which Mr..
Eskridge claims he gave Martindale
and Cross to accommodate them
The ground on which the bankruptcy
proceedings are brought are that Mr..
Eskridge has recently transferred part
of his property to some of his creditors
for the purpose of making them pre-
ferred creditors.

STOCKHOLDERS MUST PAY.
The Depositors in a Burst Bank to
Get Their Money.

Denver. May Hinder At decision
given by Judge Butler in the district
court today, depositors of the Peoples
Savings bank, which failed in 1898. will
recover all the money they had on de-
posit at the time of the banks failure.
A judgment of $125,O00 was given in a
suit against the. stockholders of the
bank for their liability, according to the
laws of the state, in double the amount
of the par value of the stock they held
in the bank.
The court also gave a judgment for
about $500. 900 in favor of the savings
bank against the Peoples National
bank.
The judge declared that the national
bank, by taking the deposits of the saw
ings bank and using them in its bust
ness made itself liable as the trustee
of the savings bank for those deposits.
The national bank turned over notes in
payment of its obligation to the saw
ings bank. The notes were practically
valueIess. The assets of the bank
amount at present to only $4,000, and
the shareholders, most of whom live in
Cleveland, O., will be called upon to
make good the balance of the liabilities.
