Seven years ago the State Of Illinois grantees
There was need of something above the oTdi-
nary method Of treatment for chronic diseases,
something more than any, one specialist or any
numbers of specialists acting independently
could do, so the State itself, under the powers
granted 1t by its general laws, gave the power to
the Physicians Institute to furnish to the SICK
such help as would make them well and strong.
Ever since It's establishment this Institute has
spdeayored In every possible way TO carry out
fhe original purposes of its establishment under
the benehcient laws Of the State.
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,
realizing the value of electricity In the treatment
Of certain phases of disease. created under the
superintendent Of Its staff of specialists an
electric belt, and this belt has been proved to ba
of great value as curative agent. From time
to time it has been improved until it reached
that stage of perfection which warranted its
present name of " Supreme"
This BELTS the most effective of all agents In the

prospective Doran regime
Shepherd Was Not Pleasant.
The enthusiasm of the ex-police cla-
quers received a decided check when
Harry Shepherd got the floor and a
chance to shoot back at the speakers
who had been spOuting gang" till they
We're hoarse and black in the face. Shep-
herd was held back until near the close
Of the meeting because he was expected
to say something disagreeable, and the
expectations Of the wise boys were full
filled.
The contrast between Shepherd and
Cook, who followed him, was almost pain
full. Shepherd said he owed the Repub-
licans of St. Paul an explanation of his
candidacy, also an apology for becoming
candidate. There was no room in the
Republican heaven for black faces, and
| he should have recognized that fact He
said it took the Fourth ward gang sixty
days after allowing him to enter the race
to find a man to run against him. In
conclusion he said that he was Repub-
lcan and would not permit any faction
to read him out of the party, but he
promised to fight to the bitter end the
men of his party who opposed him be-
cause of his color.
Col. Kiefer started his campaign for the
congressional nomination and the speech
making. The colonel had not expected to
be present, so his speech was written.
He landed two solar plexus punches on
the anatomy Of Mr.. Doran. They may
have been wholly unconscious, but one of
them was the motto used by Kiefer in
his campaign against Doran, and given
first place on the coloneIs campaign
cards.
Did 1t Himself.
1t was his famous public trust and
private snap" slogan, and as he warmed
Up to his speech he significantly said:
1T is of most highest Importance that
city affairs are managed by competent
men. You want mayor who is a mayor.
A mayor to stop the grafters. I know,
L did some of it myself" Later on the
colonel again thanked the audience for
the real lovely reception" given him and
took a seat beside the chairman, willie
Doran kept way back and sat down.
Frank Arnold was introduced as the
champion of the cents street car fare.
But someone had evidently got to Mr.. Ar
mold and showed him the error of his
ways and he ducked the 8 cents busi-
ness. The chairman had, unfortunately
for Arnold, made the introduction so
strongly street car, that Arnold could
not entirely back away from the subject,
and he SPARED very gracefully for wind
with the statement that the street car
company is escaping it's fair share of the
tax burden and he thought that it might
at least give the workingmen six tickets
for a quarter to be good at certain hours.
DR. E. H. Haas, brother Of Samuel,
| formerly of the building inspectors Of
! flee, was also troubled with a platform.
| Some horrid newspaper had been asking
| him troublesome questions about his
| platform, and he said right out, 81 don't

what Haas Favors.

The doctor said he might be in favor
of a municipal lighting plant with civil
service But without civil service, Oh
horrors! the Democrats might some time
get control of the city government, and
then what a scattering of Republican
spoilsmen. 1t was too dreadful to
think about. The little doctor from the
Third ward also ducl1ed the 81 gas ques-
ton and the gross earnings tax for
public service corporations. He wanted,
he said, well lighted city, and it would
not be fair to charge new corporations a
gross earnings tax when the old corpora
lions were paying taxes under on old
system. That settled the platform bust
ness. Johnny Sells staid out in the hail.
and Charlie Nelson said his platform was
to ''get the VOTE
Oar Reese made the speech of the
evening, and in the frenzy Of his oratory
made a statement which brought cold
comfort to his ABE Lincoln" candidate
for mayor, and Col. Kiefer who sat be-
side him. Reese anticipated, keen poll
tician that he is, the revival of the police
history of the Doran administration, and
included the Kiefer regime in his re
marks. He swung his arms aloft and in
roCf-raising tones shrieked, Let US be
fair All we want is fair treatment. I
do not know, but if such a thing is possible
there is probably an increase of crime
over that of the administrations of Mr..
Dorian and our friend Col. Kiefer.'
Hart n. Cook, of the Fourth ward, can
didate for the board of aldermen, closed
the flow of oratory, and caused the Doran
element to grit it's teeth with the state
ment that if Doran is elected he can not
see how the rest of the ticket can be
beaten.
No Hope for DOran.
While the enthusiasm was skinfulIy
kept up to an apparently sizzling point,
by the trained leaders, the gossip of the
wise boys in the aisleS and halls I'M
covered the Republican situation. The
ilJy-conceaIed fight in the campaign COM
mittee and the final victory of the organ
iZation crowd as against the DoTan ele-
ment is now public party gossip ana the
campaign is now so plain that he runs
which was most unfriendly to Doran in
the primary campaign is in control of the
committee and in shape to handle the
executive committee. Prominent mem
bers of the faction last night admitted
that Doran cannot be elected and that
he is to be forgotten, While the fight
will be made TO land If possible majority
of the council, the municipal judges and
the administrative officers.
Hornick Leaves the ship.
The Doran campaign tire suffered an
other puneture yesterday afternoon. The
executive committee will not be led by
Chas. w. Hornick, selected by Doran as
the pilot OF his campaign ship. Mr.. Hor-
nick yesterday made formal his resigna-
ton of the post secured for him by
Doran and w. B. Wheeler, of the Ninth
ward, was appointed chairman Hornick
was from the first bitterly opposed by
the organization men. OStensibIy be-

politician; in fact because he was the
choice of the party's standard bearer.

East Minnehaha. There is a small barn
