A HAPPY ENDING.
Mrs. j. S. Murdock's Pathetic Story
Ends Happily Owing to
Dodd's Kidney Pills.

For Years She Could Not Lift Her Hands to
Dress Her Own Hair = Perfectly Helpless
from Backache and Kidney Troubie-Mirac-
uIous Change Worked by Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
POPULAR PLAINS. ILL.,. Feb. Alt is
pleasing to note that Mrs. J. s. Murdoch
still continues in perfect health. For
years a chronic invalid from kidney dis
ease, from which she was only recently
rescued by Dodds Kidney Pills. Mrs.
Murdock now fairly revels in health and
spirits. In letter written to the Dodd's
Medicipe company explaining her case,
Mr.. Murdoch in one sentence says more
to bring the full meaning of Mrs. Muir
docks trouble home to other women sut
ferers than a whole book of long SEN
tences and big sounding words. He says:
She could not raise her hands to her
head to twist her hair" What more IS
needed to explain to women the misera-
BILE nature of Mrs. Murdock's case. Help
less and suffering, she could not do the
first simple duties of her own toilet Here
is Mr.. Murdocks letter in full. and
women will remember that if Dodd's Kid
ney Pills will help one they will help
all:
MY wife was for years unable to raise
her hands to her head" it begins, "and
Couiu ilot uTeSS OF uIlufeSS ueis Will
out aid. She was in constant misery.
Nothing that she took for her trouble
helped her until one day 1 brought home
two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, which
had been highly recommended by per-
sons who had cured themselves of kid
ney disease with it. After she had taken
the first box she was able to raise her
hands to her head and twist her hair.
She is now able to dress herself and per-
form household duties, and life has again
taken on a bright hue for her. 1t is GER
tainly a miracle and Dodd's Kidney Pills
are responsible for 1t"

That he is past the age and physical con-
dition to accomplish that task, is the be-
lief of a majority. Hence, should Cor
bett get as good as a draw with Jeffries.
there will be little glory In it for him.
To satisfy the public he must win de-
cisiVely.
HORTON LAW DOOMED.
The Horton boxing law has scarcely
chance to survive the present session of
the New York legislature. The lower
house has already voted to repeal the.
law, and it Is almost q foregone conclu-
sion that the upper house Will follow suit.
That Gov. Roosevelt will sign the bill re-
peaIing the law is a foregone conclusion.
Abuse of the privileges granted under
the Horton enactment explains why it Is
20 be repealed. The promoters of the
game, flushed with the success Of their
schemes to get the gold that flowed into
their Golfers In a steady stream, outraged
public opinion by resorting to all sorts
of practices contrary to fair sport. The
boxing matches in the Empire state have
been tainted with the suspicion of job
berry. There have been fortunes lost on
queer" battles, and the sporting element
has finally Joined with the opponents of
boxing under any conditions in what
promises to prove a successful effort to
prevent continuation Of the game in
New York.
M'GOvERN AMBITIOUS.
Terry McGovern may be matched to box
six rounds with Champion Lightweight
Erne in Chicago in the near future. Nc
Govern may make a mistake in going out
of his class. A defeat at the hands of
Erne would do the clever little boxer a
vast deal Of harm in his business It
matters little from whence comes defeat
not necessary for McGovern to go out of
his class. He can meet all comers at his
own weight, and when there are none to
meet him he can rest upon his Iaurels
sit will be decidedly bad management
should McGovern meet defeat. Many
good man In his class has gone out of it
and lost his laurels. The public has little
use for defeated boxer, and explana-
tions are always in poor form. McGov-
ern would do better to stick 60 his knit
ting. few dollars gained in meeting a
lightweight will not offset the possible
chances of defeat.
LACK OF RECOGNITION.
The boxing game is in a queer condition
at present. There is but one recognized
undisputed champion, and he covers two
classes Terry McGovern is acknowledged
premier bantam and featherweight boxer
Of the world. While Jim Jeffries pos
sesses the title of heavyweight champion,
there is a cloud upon it. and, until he de-
cisiveiy defeats Tom Sharkey, there 1t
will remain. Bob Fitzsimmons Is the mid
dieweight champion, but he is not so re-
garded by the general public, being look
ed upon as a heavyweight. In the light
weight division Frank Erne carries the
honor of the championship, but his title
is not as clear as Is that of Jeffries,
doubtful; result with O'Brien leaving room
for a question as to who is the best man
at 1873 pounds. There are all sorts of al
legged champions, but the fact Is that Nc
Govern Is the only accepted premier of
the present time. Willie Green.

VIII Celebrate Washington's Birth
day at Peoples Church.
The celebration of Washington's birth
day. which was inaugurated by the Min
nesOta Society Sons of the Ameg lean Rev
oIution, in 1898, and has been successfully
continued since that time, is growing In
interest and receiving from year to year
greater attention from the public. This
year arrangements are made for several
distinct exercises, among which that of
the Revolutionary society maintains its
position and prominence. AS has been the
case for several years past, the joint
public meeting of the societies of Sons OF
the Revolution and Sons of the American
Revolution will be held at the Peoples
church, in st. Paul, at 2:30 p. M, Thurs
day. To this all members Of patriotic so
cieties and the public generally are invit-
ed. Special invitations have been sent
to the various chapters In the state Of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton. to the commander-in-chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, and all To-
cal Grand Army posts. and to the Ger
man Veteran society, "Krieg Verein, and
to the societies of Colonial Wars and Col
onial Danes and various others.
At the Peoples church a chorus OF 800
public school children will sing patriotic
songs under the direction Of Miss Elsie
M. Shave, director Of vocal music in the
public schools of st. Paul, and Miss Myr-
tie Ruger will preside at the organ. The
Grafton will be delivered by Gen. Moses
E Clapp. One very interesting feature of
the exercise will be the presentation, in
behalf of the National Society Sons of
the American Revolution, of bronze med
ais made from captured Spanish cannons
to twenty members of the society who
served during the Spanish war. This pre-
sentation will be made by Gen. -Judson
Wade Bishop, himself a distinguished
veteran Of the Civil war. 4-.<
In the evening the two societies viii
give banquets, that of the Sons of the
Revolution at the Minnesota club and
that of the Sons of the American Revo;u-
ton at the Aberdeen, In st. Paul At the
latter occasion the Rev. James D. Paxton
Col. Edward Hunter and Col. James o:
Pierce and Louis D. Wilkes will be the
speakers
Together with the above meetings, and
others which have been announced, the
birthday of the Father of his Country
will be celebrated more extensively than
heretofore in the history of Minnesota.

TODAY
PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES

The Speaker Is a Prominent Clergy

Devoted Himself Exclusively to
the Consider ration of Social Prob
Iems-Wide Interest in ST. Paul.

breaches this morning at Christ church,
speaks this afternoon at Labor hall, Mon
day, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday
evenings In the hall of representatives
at the state house.
The Social Reform union, DR.. Bliss
stated, is the coming together Of the re-
form forces. Capital is combining. wealth
Is combining; 1t Is time that the people
should get together In their own behalf.
The union was organized July 9, 1899. at
the Buffalo conference. Its declared prin-
ciples are: (a) To unite the reform
forces of the United States in a federated
body. in which individuals and organiza-
tions. while retaining separate existence
and freedom in pursuing separate lines
of work, may yet unite for those practical
immediate measures upon which they
agree Cb) To educate the people at large
upon the measures upon which the re-
form forces are agreed.
The platform is not to be considered
as a formulation either Of principles or
of ultimates, but as practical pro-
gramme on which men and women Of
various reform views have agreed to
unite at present This plaform was adopt
ed by the Buffalo conference without q
dissenting vote. but is to be voted upon
and readopted or modified each year by
a referendum vote of the members.

Mr. Bliss is a prominent clergyman of
the Episcopal church, but who, for the
last fifteen years, has devoted himself to
lecturing and writing on social problems.
He is best known as the founder of the
Christian socialist movement In Ameri-
ca. Dr. r. Heber Newton, Of New York,
says of him:
Mr.. Bliss represents more, perhaps
than any other man In our country that
which has come to be known as Chris
tian socialism, that Is, as 1 understand
it, the endeavor to bring the ethical prin-
ciples of Jesus Christ to bear upon the
economic problems of our industrial CIV
ilization."
Ten years ago Mr.. Bliss founded the
Church of the Carpenter In Boston. His
popularity among worhngmen is~shown
by the fact that he was their candidate
for lieutenant governor of Massachu-
setts.
OF late years Mr.. Bliss has lectured
In every great city East and West. His
last great work has been the prepara-
tion Of his Encyclopedias of Social Re
FORM" now considered the best authority
upon the subject. The Review of Re
views said of this work:
''Mr. Bliss has, in this splendid volume.
performed really monumental piece OF
work. 1t will stand In years to come as
an epitome Of the social and economic
conditions and the state of human prog
ress In the last decade of the nineteenth
century. The whole volume Is perfect
mine Of information"
In st. Paul wide interest is being taken
In this matter. 1t Is believed that a
large organization will be effected. Ger
tainly, with the present development OF
trusts, something must be done, and un-
less people organize wisely evil will re-
suit Such Is Mr.. Bliss view. The fol-
lowing 10 the programme Of Mr.. Bliss

A Myth That Should Stand,

Those severely practical and unimagl-
native people who would Danish the
pleasant myth of Santa Claus from the
memory of children, are referred to the
able defense of the venerable old gen.
tleman by the Baltimore Herald, which
says: Santa Claus Is the figurativc i'm
PRESERVATION Of the spirit of joyful, glad
giving of Christmas day. While the
parents do his acts. they are merely his
agents, and no. he at all. a child, at
the age in which Santa Claus is a real
thing, thinks almost with his imugina-
ton. He would be unable to compre-
bend the Yule-tide spirit II told In
words of fact, and will miss 1t alto
gether If he can not catch It through
his imagination. which is led to accept
the spirit in the form OF Santa Claus"
