Judge Powers Of the Renville
county district court has issued j
mandatory order to the commits
sioners Of Redwood and Renyille
counties instructing them to pro-
coed at once with the construction
Of the bridge across the Minnesota
river, at the old site, between Bel.
vieA and Sacred Heart. The order
allows 20 days for an appeal to the
Supreme Court.
The Fairfax Standard, speaking
Of the matter, says that county at
torneys for Renville and Redwood
counties were in Granite Falls Mon
day IN behalf of the counties in the
mandamus case in the Belview
bridge. matter. Both attorneys
moved that the writ be quashed and
Attorney Rieke for Renville county
filed q demurrer to the writ. Both
the motions and the demurrer were
overrnled by Judge Powers and
Attorney Rieke given ten days to
answer on the demurrer. Attorney
Frank Clague for Redwood county
refused to answer on the overruling
Of his motion to quash and Attorney
Rieke withdrew his demurrer and
also refused to answer. This con-
cludes the case as far as the dis
trict court is concerned. The attor-
neys have twenty days in which to
make an appeal and the case will be
fought out in the supreme court.
The case arises from the demand
of three farmers living near the site
of the old Belyiew bridge that the
bridge be rebuilt, basing their de-
mand on the State law under which
the bridge was originally built by
the State. This law makes it COM
pulsory for the commissioners Of
Redwood and Renville counties to
keep the bridge forever in repair.
In 1898 the bridge was completely
destroyed This summer the COM
missioners ofthe two counties agreed
to jointly, build a bridge two miles
further down the stream. The
three farmers living at the site of
the old bridge asked the court for
writ of mandamus to compel the
commissioners to build the bridge
at the old site. In their petition
they admit that the bridge was COM
pletely destroyed. The contention
for the counties is that the bridge
being utterly annihilated it is i'm
possible for them to repair it; that
there is nothing in the law to COM
pei them to build a new bridge in
the place Of the old one. -
The old bridge was at site where
it was OF little use. The new one is
much needed. Aside from a.Ques-
ton Of law the commissioners have
undoubtedly done the right thing in
changing the location of the struct-
ure. =.

MODERN SLAVERY
Caused by Weak, Exhausted Stomschs. Il
Almost Universal.

You, reader, would not permit your
neighbor to call you ont of bed at mid
night and oblige you to walk the pave
ment for two or three hours every
night. You would not allow him to
burn your hand wilfully, nor to cut
Your finger off. just to please him.
Why, then. do you allow your stomach
to cause you loss of sleep, nightmare,
and continual suffering? Every dys-
peptic, every sufferer from indigestion,
biliousness, heartburn. waterbrash,
catarrh of the stomach and other stom-
ach diseases. is a slave to his or her
stomach. There is one way-only one
of breaking the chains of this slav-
cry. That is BY using Dodd's Dyspep-
sia Tablets.
These digest the food you have eaten.
They don't need aid from the stomach.
which is therefore given time to rest
and gain strength. They regulate the
bowels. which carry off the waste por-
ton of tie food not used in making
blood. thus the stomach is enptied
and prepared to receive the next meal.
No foul gas can form III the stomach
if you use Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets,
for the food is digcsted by them at
once and does not remain in the storu.
acll to rot and cause disease.
