Doan's Kidney Pills did me good and
further that they did more to relieve

Pills from John G. Thro I could not
walk down town hardly to save my
life, and my back panied me SO in

CLOTHING STOCKS.
Board of Review Asked to Change As.
SCISSORS Valuations.

The board of review Saturday night
listened to 81. E. Hance, who stated
that he did not consider the assess
ment of the various clothing dealers as
equal and just. He was willing to pay
taxes on his assessed valuation if,,other
clothing dealers were assessed in pro-
portion. He wanted one or two of the
others raised or his own cut down.
The board took the matter under ad-
visement and will wrestle with it
later.
Flora M. Rings assessment on stock
was reduced from $l25 to $50.
John E. Diamond was raised from
5000 to $l,365 on credits, and Bessie
M. Diamond was placed on the list
with..,,$635 of credits.
E. Scheerschmidt was reduced on
merchandise from $3.50 to 800.
NJ A. Sherk & Son were notified to
appear and show cause why the assess
ment on their stock should not be in
creased from 81, 800 to 50, 900.
Goods and merchandise are assessed
at one third of their value
The board got part way through the
SIS and will meet again tonight.
Some of the members of the board
are opposed to taxing the local build
ing and loan association heavily, and
the matter may possibly come up
again.

PEERMAN DIVORCED.
He Was Husband of Mrs. Williams, Who
Was Sent Up For Bigamy.

st. Cloud Times: John Peer man
was granted divorce from his wife
this afternoon by Judge Searle, and
he need have no fear of being arrested
for bigamy. 1t will be remembered
that Peerman's first wife was arrested
at Mankato on the charge of bigamy.
Mrs. Peerman had been married since
their separation, and he was of the
opinion that she had secured divorce.
She claims to have been of similar
mind. She pleaded guilty at Man
kato and was sentenced to a year in
the penitentiary. 1t is understood that
she is to be subject of executive ele-
mency in the very near future. Both
claim to have thought that a divorce
had been granted. That belief is now
a reality.

A HERO'S DEATH.
Cousin of A. c. Bennett Killed in Mime
spOIis.

The death of Holly c. Bennett, the
only casualty resulting from the storm
in Minneapolis, was that of hero,
who risked his all in an attempt to
help others, according to the Mime
apolis Journal.
Together with Henry J. Brakeman
and Dell Eek, young Bennett was stand
ing in the grocery store of M. J.
Tween at the corner of Western and
Aldrich avenues. Diagonally across
the street stood frail wooden struc-
ture occupied by the Home laundry,
John Iverson, proprietor. 1t so hap
pened that the full force of the storm
was felt in this immediate locality
and Bennett and his companions, with
their eyes upon the laundry building,
were Mortified to see it sway in the
wind and give unmistakable signs of
collapsing. Bennett stopped not a
moment, but shot out of the door of
the grocery calling to the others to
come with him. Eek and Brakeman
followed closely and as they reached
the street were Mortified to see the
walls of the laundry building cave in
in the center and then the structure
collapsed just as a woman and little
girl emerged from the front.
The fall of the building had dislodg-
ed telephone wire strung upon the
poles on Western avenue, however, and
is it fell it crossed the trolley wire of
the street railway and struck Bennett,
who was considerably in advance of
his companions. Not realizing his
danger, Bennett reached out his hand
to brush it aside, and with the touch
of the now live wire came a shock
which knocked him to the ground.
Involuntarily in falling he grasped the
wire with his other hand, and so lay
in the street when Dell Eek reached
him.
Eek. did not, apparently, realize the
danger or the plight of his friend, and
he was about to grasp hold of the pros
trated man to drag him away from his
torture, but was warned by Brakeman
not to do so. Eek regarded this warn
ing in part and picked up a small
piece of wood and with that attempted
to push the wire out of Bennett fast
stiffening hand. The shock which fol-
lowed knocked Eek to the ground and
for time it was thought that both
men were dead. The third man of the
party, Brakeman. knew better than to
attempt to touch the bodies of his
friends and did the next best thing
He went after help, and in few min
utes fremen- from engine houses 10
and Is arrived on the scene and chop
ped the wire in two.
Bennett was dead and so, too, was
Eek, to all appearances. The latter
revived, however, and it was soon dis
covered when he had been examined at
the hospital that he would come out
all right. Bennett, however, was dead
when taken up.
Bennett was young man about 90
years of age, residing with his wife,
child and sister at 206 Bryant avenue
n. and was a first cousin of A. c.
Bennett of this city He was a steady
going, industrious Young fellow and
was we'll liked by all who knew him.
He had enc child 10 months old.

THEIR TENTS BLEW DOWN.

W. D. Willard has party of about
twenty young boys camping out at
Lake Washington, their ages ranging
from nine to thirteen years. They will
have been out there week Tuesday,
when they will return. We are inform
ed that in the storm last Friday night
the tents of the camp blew down, but
luckily no one was hurt, though we
presume some of them got more or
less wet. Aside from this experience.
we understand the young people have
been having a fine time.

part of the time. Campbell's wife died

CITY'S INCREASED INCOME,

Mankato will this year have 80 or
81 saloons as against 26 last year.

effect, the number of saloons were cut
from SO to 20, and the highest number
since then has been &C. The old num-
Der has nearly been reached, which
