by a comfortable majority, and its pro.
visions are so just that it seems hardly
possible that intelligent men could ar
ray themselves in opposition. The
struggling farmers living on school
lands purchased from the state are held
up to a five per cent rate of interest,
when the state has in its treasury hun
dreds of thousands of dollars that it
cannot loan at more than per cent and
other hundreds of thousands that it has
loaned out at per cent. If there is
any justice in this microscope fails in
sufficient power to reveal it.
The proposition to erect normal
school in Duluth, carrying with it an
appropriation of $75, 900, is the sheerest
folly. This folly is further augmented
by the proposal to discontinue the sum-
mer schools at the Mankato and Vino

in chewing the string, the value of con-
tinuous sessions of the state normal

LATTER DAY MIRACLE.
Could Not Dress or Undress Her

Was Unable to Raise Her Hands to Hell
Head, But Now She Does Up Her
Own Hair,

POPLAR CITY, ILL. April 10. The
people here are all talking of the re-
markable case of Mrs j. S. Murdoch,
who has been brought from sickness OF
long duration to good health. They
regard it as nothing short of miracle
But short time ago they knew her as
a frail helpless, suffering woman Now
they see in her a most wonderful
change Her suffering is over, she is
rapidly regaining her lost strength and
she is able to help herself. Life was
formerly burden, now it is pleasure
to her. Mr.. Murdoch, speaking OF the
case, said.
INV wife was for four years unable
to raise her hands to her head, and
could not dress or undress herself with
out aid. She was in constant misery.
Nothing that she took for her trouble
helped her, until one day l brought
home two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
which had been highly recommended
by persons who had cured themselves of
kidney diseases with it. After she had
taken the first box she was able to raise
her head and twist her hair. She is
able to dress herself and perform house
hold duties, and life has again taken on
a bright hue for her. 1t is certainly a
miracle, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are
responsible for it

The action of some of the members of
the State Senate in defeating much of
the most important legislation that has
come before that body, is not credita-
BILE to their supposed intelligence,
neither is it in harmony with the senti-
ments of those whom they were elected
to represent. 1t seems passing strange
that bill that had so much to com.
mend it as the gross earnings tax on
railroads should have been put to sleep
by the senate 1t went through the
house with good majority, and should
have passed the senate without doubt.
It's provisions are demanded by the peo-
pie. 1t is in no wise unjust to the rail
roads. Equality in taxation is one of
the fundamental corner stones of this
republic, and the most ardent oppo.
nents of the increase of the tax on rail
roads from to per cent failed to bring
forward single argument to show that
the proposed increase would be unequal
unjust or unfair as compared with the
taxes paid by other interests. The men
who voted to kill the bill should be
marked by their respective constituency
for retirement from public life. The
creature is certainly no greater than
the creator, and when men elected to
public Office will defy sentiment so
wide spread as the, demand for the pass
age of this act, they should be disposed
of without an apology.
Another meritorious bill strangled by
the Minnesota House of Lords is the one
declaring for reduction in the rate of
interest on state lands from 5 to per
cent. This measure passed the house

The Ball Game

The eagerly awaited game of
ball between the Ocala Juniors
and Anthony Juniors came off
yesterday afternoon on the dia-
mond as advertised. The crowd
gathered to witness the game was
not very large but made up in
enthusiasm for the scarcity of
numbers.
Lloyd Chaille umpired for the
Ocalas, and Otto Mente kept the
score, Sumter Mays was CHIEF
coacher, Gus Haley caught and
Dell Moody pitched. The game
was a beauty, lasted an hour and
Ealf and was finished on the
ninth inning with the score 10 to
l in favor Of Ocala. Our boys
presented a very smart appear
ance in their blue uniforms and
did some excellent playing. They
have in them the making of pro-
fessionals, if they keep up the
work.
The Anthony boys were stall
wart, manly lit fellows, and
had several tiptop play ers among
them, but they lacked the train
ing that characterized our boys.
The boys are justly proud of
their easy victory. They are
growing enthusiastic over the
game, and are expecting other
visiting teams at no distant date.
