MRS. BURGER TALKS.
Delivers Two Interesting Addresses ID
This City Sunday.


I his City Sunday.
Mrs. Nellie Burger, of Missouri,
who spoke before the W. G. T. q. con-
vention at the Presbyterian church on
Friday evening last, delivered two
strong addresses in the city Sunday,
occupying the Baptist church in the
morning and speaking at the M. E.
church in the evening. Mrs. Burger
is most attractive speaker, and many
went away in the evening because they
could not get into the church. Her
address was devoted mainly to the
work of the w. G. T. .. and was accom-
panied with strong appeal for the abo-
lition of the legalized liquor traffic. The
question is often asked, she said, if it
paid the ladies for the work they put
forth in behalf of humanity. In answer
she gave brief sketch of some of their
work and what had been accomplished
by it, and said that the results obtain
ed in all walks of life, where W. G. T.
. influence had touched was the best
answer therefore. Her address made
deep impression upon her auditors
and is one that will long be remem-
bered

LIGHT, FOR AMBOY.
The Village Proposes to Vote $4,000 in
Bonds,

Every well regulated town feels the
necessity of lighting it's streets either
through private capital or municipal
ownership. Amboy is well regulated
town. 1t is one of the best little cities
in Blue Earth county and it is to the
credit of her citizens that steps have
been taken to get out of darkness into
light. A meeting of citizens was re-
Gently held to listen to the report of a
committee previously appointed to in
vestigate several plants operated by
municipalities. The Herald says that
the report was interesting and instruc-
tive. The plant at Mason City, put in
by Dawson & Co. appeared to be the
most complete of any inspected and if
one is put in it will probably be of
a similar character.
A special election will be held
Thursday, Sept. 9Th, for voting on the
question of raising bonds in the
amount of 81. 500
The citizens of Amboy, if they can
install lighting plant for the amount
proposed in the bonds, cannot afford
to turn the proposition down. There
is nothing that adds so much to the
apparent thrift and enterprise of a
city or village as well lighted streets.
and Amboy's enterprise will be best
demonstrated by getting in line with
other thrifty communities

THE SEARCH STOPS.
The Right Thing has Been Found. A
Mankato Citizen Shows the Way.

Once more we are indebted to a
Mankato citizen for public state
ment that throws more light on the
subject of ever-increasing interest.
People have been deceived by false
Misrepresentation from time imme-
mortal No wonder they are skeptical
of all claims endorsed by strangers,
residing in far-distant parts of the
union. 1t is no longer necessary to &C
cept such endorsements, for local citi-
zens are giving their testimony, and
it's an easy matter for any reader to
investigate the correctness of such
evidence as the following:
Mr.. G. Mccarthy, of 913 North
Fourth St., retired farmer says: 81
received great benefit from using
Doan's Kidney Pills. For long time
my back gave me trouble; l had indi-
gestion and a sort of fullness or gas in
the stomach; did not rest well at
night, and was embarrassed with hav-
ing to rise during the night from too
frequent action of the kidney secre-
tions. 1 learned about Doan's Kidney
Pills and procured them from ]. G..
Thro. The use of the remedy corrected
the kidney secretions relieved the
! other trouble, and slept well after the
treatment Doan's Kidney Pills can
be relied upon to cure backache and
