urer, has made proposition to
the state, through Gov Van SAINT, for

commended that the governor appoint

HE C0MMITTMD SUICIDE
The Cause and Its Lesson.

Why did he commit suicide2 Oh
for the same reason that many others
are on the verge of the same sin or are
in danger of insanity, paralysis, idiocy
or some weakness or disease which
robs life of it's charm.
He knew that he was victim of a
nervous disorder which had existed for
several years, but he was careless,
waited from month to month, until it
should be convenient to obtain proper
treatment He had taken ready made
medicines and treatment by CORES
pondence, some of which he thought
helped him for a time, but after a few
months he always felt the same old
symptoms. The disease advanced so.
gradually that he did not realize that
danger was upon him. At length he
felt the necessity of home and love
and family, then he decided to wait
no longer, he would obtain a real cure
of his disease, one which would be
permanent, would restore the vigor
and hope and charm to life. Unhap-
PLY he had waited too long A cure
was impossible
His case was sad one but no
worse than that Of many others who
are nervous, weak and tired, dizzy,
Respondent, melancholy and irritable !;
have backache, failing memory, sleep
less nights, horrible dreams, debilitat-
ing drain, bloating and rumbling of
the bowels, high colored and cloudy
urine, shortness of breath, palpitation
of the heart, floating specks before
the eyes, jerking of the muscles and
other symptoms of weakness. The same
or similar consequences may result to
anyone in this awful condition. Few
persons realize the gravity of neglect
ing disease. Take one candid thought
before it is too late If you have any
symptoms of weakness or disease or
have violated the laws of health or
| suspect hidden weakness or disease
of any kind, act at once. Do not wait
| until no power on earth can restore
you. summon your manhood and
courage Determine to be a man, with
all the power and character of per-
feet man. Do not rely upon ready
| made medicines or treatment by cor
respondence. such treatment may
| stimulate for time, but seldom cures.
Consult specialist in the treatment
of your disease, see him personality,
expect to pay him literally, follow his
advice, regain your manhood.
DR.. Downing of Chicago has given
special attention to the nervous and
chronic diseases and weakness of men
and women for many years, his sue
cess in curing these diseases has been
called miraculous in many cases. He
has thousands of testimonials from
! grateful men and women whom he has
cured, after cure seemed hopeless.
He does not undertake any cases
which he regards as incurable, but has
cured many after they had been given
up to die. Consultations are sacredly
confidential. Names of patients are
never mentioned without permission.

Looping over hill. He reported the
matter to the village marshal, who
learned that the rig had been seen on

Joe he learned the particulars and

Supt. Uline reports having started
spelling class at the high school,
which included all of the poorest
spoilers in different classes. This was
a wise move. Of late years spelling
has been much neglected. Whether
some of the popular fads crowded it
out or not we can not say, but certain
1T is, that the drill which used to be
given to that important feature of a
child's education has gone by the side,
and the good speller from our public
schools has been the exception. In fact
there have been very few graduates OF
students from our public schools,
who could write an extended letter
without misspelling several words un-
less they took pains to look up those
they were not absolutely su re of. Now
if Supt. Uline will infuse little Of
this drill in spelling down through the
grades, 80 as to make it more prom
inent feature than it has been here
tofore, he will have succeeded il
accomplishing work of incalculable
benefit for the youth of Mankato.

Coal. Damp and Dry.

If a load of coal is left out of doors
exposed to the weather, say, for a
month, it loses one third of its heat
ing qualities. If ton of coal is
placed on the ground and left there
and another ton is placed under a
shed, the latter loses about 20 per
cent of it's heating force, the former
about AZ per cent. Hence it is a great
saving of coal to have it in a dry
place, covered over on all sides. The
softer the coal the more heating power
it loses, because the volatile and valu-
able conssituents..undergo slow COM
bination.
