The reduction ranges all the way
from to % per cent or more, and will
average fully 10 per cent for the whole
region affected. Anyone can figure out
the net local benefit to farmers and
localities. If a point, say Senator:
Miller's town Of Luverne, ships 1,000,-
900 bushels Of wheat in the season, the
saving, which will range from $12 to SIS
= Cal" load, will not be less than ST., 600
for the season. Governor Lind judges
that the saving for the 20 counties Of
the Second congressionafdistrict will be
ut least $3.50, 900, and be perhaps a.
much or more than all the state and
county taxes paid by those counties.
This is the second reduction which
the railroad commission has been in
strumental in bringing about since Gov
ernor Lnd's Inauguration. Below is a
table showing the rates in force Jan. l,
1899, and the rates as now fixed by this
latest reduction. For the sake Of brevity
only few stations are selected

About two years ago Mrs. Estey

controversy between the state railroad

southwestern roads, as to the rates on
grain, being the conclusion of the COM
missioners' determined effort to bring
the rates on fax seed and grain down

After many weeks of consideration,

FAIR EXCHANGE.
A New Back for an Old One. How it
is Done in Belfast.

Sometimes the back aches with a dull. indie
scribable feeling making you weary and restless
sometimes pain shoots across the region of the
Kidneys and again the loinS are so lame to stGop
is agony No use plastering or rubbing the back
in this condition. You cannot reach the cause.
To exchange a bad back for a new and stronger
one, follow the example of this Belfast citizen:
Mr.. c. H. Chamberlain of High street, over on
Primrose HILL says: II had kidney complaint for
years; in fact my back never was very strong.
had pain just over the kidneys particularly notice
able in the morning for an hour or two Just after
got up am quite heavy man, and if stood
any length of time my back felt tired and sore.
Then at my work, getting in and out of carriage
so often and riding over rough roads does not
help a lame back. If l caught cold it always
settled in my loins, and then a weakness of the
kidney secretions was apparent, very annoying
day OF night. l used plasters, more or less, but
they only helped the pain when on saw Doan's
Kidney Pills advertised and l got box at Ed
mund Wilson's drug store and used them. It did
me good. The improvement continued as | con-
tnued the treatment. The pain was much re-
lieved and l was less annoyed with the kidney
secretions.''
Sold for 80 cents per box at all dealers. Foster
