COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Old Man Throws Himself Under q Nov.
ing Train.

The freight train on the Chicago
Great Western road, due to arrive in
this city at 100 p M, did not arrive
yesterday until p. m. 1t passed
Elysian at 6 p. m, and when a short
distance out the train men noticed an
old man sitting on the side of the rail
way embankment. As the train swept
past him he rose and attempted to
throw himself under the wheels. His
head was struck by journal and he
fell back with a fractured skull. The
train stopped and he was conveyed to
Elysian and left there. Medical
assistance was summoned, but the man
did not regain consciousness, and died
sometime during the night.
The name of the suicide was Charles
Mahlousky. He was a widower, but
had step son living in Elysian. He
seems to have been living around, be-
ing left to his own resources. Little
else can be learned in regard to him,
and it is not known whether an inquest
will be held. The train was in charge
of Conductor J. o. Ruckman and En-
gineer James George.

WORST KIND OF CASE.

The Experience of Well Known Per-

Convincing.

We ask you to read the following
statement from a well-known citizen
because she suffered from one of the
worst kind of cases of backache and
kidney disorders, and was cured by
Morrow's Kid-ne- oids. II you are in
the least way troubled with weak
back or disordered kidneys, use Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids; they cure every
time.
Mrs. Geo. f. Edwards. 1929 So. 4th

have been constant sufferer for
many years from symptoms Of torpid
liver, sick headache and severe pains
in my head. The pains between
my shoulders were very annoying. l
commenced to use Morrow's LiyerlaX
and they have relieved me entirely Of
all my former troubles. A friend Of
mine told me that she had been cured
of backache and nervousness by using
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids so l decided to
give them trial. l will recommend
these remedies to any person who is
suffering from kidney or liver
troubles"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills
but yellow tablets and sell at fifty

A Strong Congressional Delegation.
The Svenska Folkets Tidning, the lead
ing Scandinavian paper of the Northwest.
has this to say of our present delegation in
congress which should appeal to the can
did co nsideration of the Republican voters
Our delegation nCongress is very strong
one. Long tenure of office has enabled our
rep resentatives to build up their personal
inf uence to an extent that is very helpful
to the tates. To unhorse these men for
their support of an accomplished fact
which their defeat can in no way affect,
would be an asinine example of biting off
the nose to spite the face.
We have no doubt that republicans will
see and recognize these facts Hence we
say that the Puerto Rico legislation will
have but little effect upon the result of the
campaign in Minnesota.

A Clear Field for McCIeary.

The situation in this congressional dis
trict is peculiar. There is a large opposi-
ton to the denomination of Congressman
McCleary, and yet it is so widely scattered
that it seems hopeless task to unite it on
any one candidate. The air is full of ru-
mors as to what may happen, but at pres
ent the indications are that Mr.. McCleary
will have clear field in the convention

number of men in the district, outside of
Blue Earth county who would like to sue
coed McCleary, and the fact that they are
not candidates shows that they do not
think this the opportune time to make the
change, or that fight for the place, now.
would be hopeless. These men will all be
for McCleary rather than any new man,
because new member will shut them out
for four years or more. while McCleary
can reasonably be asked to step down in
two years. This fact alone will render
Mr.. Funk's fight hopeless. The truth is
that there is a concerted effort being made
to get as many candidates on the track as
possible, in the hope of having majority
of the delegates against McCleary and then
make an attempt to unite them at the con-
vention. 1t will not work. While there
are number of men who would like to
beat the present incumbent. themselves,
they do not want any other new man to
take his place. The result will be that
McCleary will be renominated and re-
elected, and there is no need to "kick
against the pricks."
