COULDN'T STRAIGHTEN UP.

Breed, Wis, June 16th.-Charles F.
Peterson, of this place, Justice of the
Peace for Oconto County, tells the fol-
lowing story:
For years had an aching pain in
my back which troubled me very much,
especially in the morning.
81 was almost unable to straighten
my back and the pain was unbearable
81 did not know what it was, but
seeing an advertisement of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills concluded to try box.
II can only say that that one box
alone has done me more good than
anything else ever did.
81 feel as well now as ever was.
ST have recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to several others who are using
them with good results"
Mr.. Peterson is highly respected
man and one who would not so posi-
lively make statement unless it was
absolutely true.

Former Speaker Reed Shares TIE
Contents of His Gripsack with
William c. whitney.

Thomas Bracket Reed qualified as
an expert in electricity in the United
States court at New York the other
day. Taking his. lunch with him,

when he used. to campaign for con-
gress up in Maine. he sat all day long
in class in higher electricity, drink
ing in the technical terms with much
gusto, and wound up by reading his
essay from a pink manuscript.
Mr.. Reed appeared as counsel for the
Stanley Electrical company, of Pitts
field, Mass. The Westinghouse COM
pany asked an injunction to prevent
the Stanley people from an alleged in
fringement on an electric motor pat
ented by Nikola Tesla. Millions hinge
on the result of the case, the future
of the Stanley company, which is now
employing 1000 men in Pittsfiel de-
pending upon what is done in the case.
The big display Of electrical machin-
cry which filled the courtroom was
there to demons trate that the Stanley
motor is different from that of Tesla.
When the court adjourned for re-
cess Mr.. Reed took his big Maine grip
sack and, calling his friend, William
c. Whitney. went back to the last
bench of the courtroom. He opened
the big grip and exhibited luncheon
that would have delighted stevedore.
There were big, brown, old-fas hioned
biscuits, sliced open and filled with
ham and chicken Like two school
boys the big ex-speaker and his friend
dived into the sandwiches and between
mouth -uls the big Maine man told fun
ny stories.

Another Passing Graft.

The Pullman conductors are ask

IN off sadly of late. 1t took the
travelling public a long time to ar

It's own employees, but this action of

cate that that conclusion had been
reached by good many people.

Lingering Pinch of War.

The magnitude of the war against

statement of the British chancellor

F2Oo,000,000. In comparison with
this the $2o,ooO,OOO we paid Spain for

Encourage Private Charities.

The next Legislature probably will
be asked for increased appropria-
tons for the various private and in
dependent charitable institutions and
societies in the state. The state
board of charities favors larger ap-
preparations for Independent and pri-
vate charities for the reason that
they are invariably managed at a
less cost than public charities and
dependents can be better and more
easily cared for by them. Another
thing is that public charity makes
the dependent feel his pauperism
and generates a spirit of helpless
ness which is not inculcated by pri-
vate charities, it being more in the
nature of temporary assistance

Rock Island Reorganization Plan

Rock Island Reorganization Plan
1t can be stated with almost official
certainty that there VIII be no impor-
tant change in the charter Of the Rock
Island company of New Jersey, the
company organized to take over the
present Rock Island securities in ac-
cordance with the plan originated by
the owners of the property. 1t is
claimed that the criticism which has
been directed against the plan is with
out justification. Regarding two i'm
portant provisions of the charter which
have been subjected to the %severest
fire. a Rock Island official said:
There is nothing new or novel in
the provision giving the company the
power to deal in it's own stocks and Sc
curities. A similar provision is in the
charters of the United States Steel
corporation, the stocks of which are
being doomed almost daily by the
press; the Corn Products company, the
American Sheet Steel company, and
nearly every other New Jersey corpor-
alton recently organized. The stocks
of these companies are listed on the
New York stock exchange and traded
in daily.
The provision of the charter giving
the preferred stockholders the right to
elect a majority of the board of direc-
tors is expressly authorized by the
statutes of New Jersey, and is a pro.
vision which a number of companies
have utilized. A notable instance is
the Railroad Securities company,
which holds a large portion of the
stock of the Illinois Central Railroad
