WONDERFUL SUCCESS
A Talk of Interest to the Young
by One Who Has Had Both
Bad and Good Fortune.

"Success rarely, if ever, comes until
after many failures" said Mr.. Emory T.
Hubbard. "The failures we do NOT
hear Of, but the successes make men
famous"
Mr.. Hubbard is man who, after many
failures, at last achieved success and he
talks Interestingly about it. He Is O
trained nurse and masseur, living at No.
139 May street, Pasadena, Calf. To
reporter he said:
''I had almost given up hope, but
finally I attained that for which sought
health. Something over ten years ago
underwent two surgical operations and
as a result my nervous system broke
down. I became all run down, weak
and exhausted; l could not sleep, was
constipated, my liver was bad and my
blood very much out Of order.
Gin the latter Eart of 1895, after five
doctors had been treating me for as many
years without doing me any good, saw
an advertisement in the paper and began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. When I had taken half the
second box found I was getting better
and I kept on until l was cured. l
always keep the pills by me and, when
ever a long, hard case has caused me to
feel run down, take them to brace me
ND. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People did wonders for me and [ am
confident they will do as much for others
who are troubled as l was"
Few people are better qualified to
Judge of the merits of a medicine than
the trained nurse. His range Of expert
ence is wider even than the physicians,
for he is in constant attendance upon
his patient, day and night, often for
weeks and months at time; he sees all
the varied phases of every case and notes
every change in his condition. Familiar
with sickness from the hundreds OF cases
he has cared for, recommendation OF
medicine by professional nurse bears
great weight and more especially when
he has tried the remedy himself. Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People will
not only cure cases similar to that OF Mr.:
Hubbard but, containing as they do, all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves, they have proved CT
cacious in a wide range of diseases.
They are sold by all dealers or will be
sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty
cents box; six boxes, two dollars ana
fifty cents, by addressing DR.: Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Z.

A CORRECTION OF MISSTATE-
MENTS.

The Mapleton Enterprise when seeIns
to delight in incorporating Con-
gresham McCleary, prints a version
of the oleomargarine contest as given
by Chas. Knight, secretary of the So
called National Dairy union. Mr..
Knight in this statement makes fee
BILE attempt to sustain his change of
face toward the Circuit bill as passed by
the house last year and says that Mr.
McCleary knowingly misrepresented
him, and then virtually admits and
confirms as true all that Mr.. McCleary
has said, saying that he is convinced
''that in the light of recent events the
matter of dropping entirely the &c tax
in the uncolored article is an unwise
one. !" Of course it was unwise, and
Mr.. Grout and Mr.. McCleary most
clearly showed it was unwise, but Mr..
Knight was very careful not to admit
it to the public until after the commit
tee on agriculture having charge OF
the bill, were found to be against
dropping it. Mr.. McCleary has stood
consistently for what was right all the
time. Now, why did not Mr.. knight
stand msnfully by what he admits to
have been right instead of advocating
that position which he says he believes
was unwise in assuming. Evidently
Mr.. Knight has characteristic way
of putting his foot in his mouth when
he speaks.
Again, Mr.. Knight says that the
supporters of the Tawuey -Grout bill
agreed to bow to the judgment OF the
committee, that was of the opinion
"that to insist upon the Tawney-
Grout bill would result in compiled
tions in the house, as McCleary is &C
/ tuated solely to have his name on the
successful bill, and is said to have de-
clared that no other measure but his
should pass. I" This seems to be an
other of Mr.. Knights misrepresenta-
, tions as the Washington correspondent
of the Minneapolis Journal, as we'll as
/ other Washington correspondents have
repeatedly stated that both Mr.. Nc,
| Cleary and Mr.. Tawney have declared
that they would support any bill the
committee would report, that would
give protection to the dairy interests,
even though it did not fully meet
their views Mr.. Knight has evil
IDENTIFY found himself in a somewhat
unpleasant position, and is attempting
to let himself down easy at the expense
of others.
Lastly the Enterprise says that an
entirely new measure will be framed
and introduced by Mr.. Henry, mem
Der of the committee on agriculture
This is not in accordance with tht
facts. Mr.. Henry also introduced thu
Circuit bill unchanged. The committee
takes this and amends it by providing
that if the dealer buys uncolored ole(
and colors it while in his hands t.
initiate butter he shall be deemed
manufacturer. and must take out
government license. This we under
stand is entirely satisfactory to Mr.
McCleary, and will receive his earnes
suppwort. In short Mr.. McCleary ha
| won in the fight he has made for tn
proper protection of the dairy in

MANkATO FREE PRESS.

We notice that the stockholders OF
he Pacific Coast and Norway Packing
company held their annual meeting IN
Minneapolis last week. This COM
pany is engaged in canning salmon
and sailing herring The annual re-
port of the company showed that 1T
had put up 20, 600 cases of canned sal
mon and 1, 700 barrels of salt herring,
the total value of which was in the
neighborhood of $50, 600. The company
decided TO double the capacity OF the
cannery and saltery for the coming
season as the the profit was about 10
per cent. In this connection we would
call attention to the fact that the
Alaska Fish & Lumber Co. OF this
city, in addition to its lumber bust
ness will engage in salmon canning
and packing of herring, and that the
capacity of its cannery will be about
four times that of the above referred &c
| company. Being in possession OF q
most excellent location, one of the
best on the Alaskan coast, and able tc
handle large pack, we see no reason
why the local company should not be
in shape to make large returns upor
its investment. Certainly in the llgh
of the success of the Pacific Coast ane
Norway Packing Co the outlook o.
the Alaska Fish & Lumber Co. is mos
bright.

HAS TO PROVE TITLE.
Swamp Lands Investigation is Again
Postponed.

st. Paul, Jan. 27.-The state audit
ing department has received unofficial
information that the government in
vestigation into the Minnesota swamp
land cases has been postponed. Sixteen
cases in which the right of the state
to swamp lands was contested on the
ground that they were not swamp
lands, were to have been tried at Du-
luth Jan. %. These have been put off
until summer. The Investigations
which were to take place at st Cloud
on the same date and at ST. Paul dur
ing February will also go over.
The question of the swamp lands has
been the subject of much controversy
between the interior department and
the state land Office. Many years ago
when the swamp lands were granted
to the state by act of congress the gov
eminent surveyed the tracts and the
government plats and field notes were
accepted by the state The federal
land department has always held that
when a contestant can prove that the
major part of any legal subdivision of
land is dry the states title shall be
Cancelled. This has led to numberless
contests in which the state has lost
much land, which belongs to it ac-
cording to the government plats.
The government has also put upon
| the state authorities the onus of pro-
/ viding that the original plats and sur
veys were correct. The state, how
ever, claimed that the government has
selected the land and not the state.
The state had accepted the grant in
good faith, and if it gained some farm
lands through errors of the surveyors
it probably lost much more swamp
land through the same errors. The
state authorities also objected to max
ing an investigation of the land dur
ing the winter, as required. The or
der of the interior department post
poning the hearing of the cases, re
Iquires that the state be given time t.
examine the land in contest.
Il The interior department will ais
lconsider the question of adnering t.
the original plats and surveys, in ad
!justing the swamp lands patents to tn
state. The ultimate decision in tn
matter will mean the saving or loss o
many thousands of acres to the state
1t will also obviate the annoyance o
contrasting petty cases with men wh
iclaim land on the ground that it i

Senator Wilson of Minneapolis says
that he does not understand the tickle
ness of public opinion regarding the
tax bill. A year ago the demand, he
says. was general for commission to
revise the tax laws, now revision
has been made that meets the condi
tions demanded, there is much opposi-
ton to it. Yet the conditions he mar
wells at are not 80 strange. Those who
were escaping taxation to the exten t
they ought to meet were not making
much noise at that time, though they
quietly opposed the plan of a commits
sion. But now the work has been done
they come out in the open and oppose
it. While they claim that there is no
way by which large amount of GER
tain kind of personal property can be
gotten hold of, it is noticeable that
they are opposing the commission 6
bill, just because of the unjust condi-
tions it will impose upon much of the
property they claim cannot be reached.
Do you notice how solicitous the tax
dodger is these days for the welfare OF
the farmer and the poor man. Oh
course he is not thinking of himself.
He is too unselish.

A REQUEST THAT SHOULD BE
GRANTED

The application of the Omaha road
to the city council for the vacation of
that portion Of Walnut street from the
easterly line of the union depot TO the
river, is one which that body ought
to give favorable consideration to at its
next meeting This should be done
not so much because it is piece of
land that would probably never be util-
lied by the city, but more especially
because of the use for which the road
asks that the vacation be made-for the
purpose of erecting an eating and
lunch room which any person who has
given the matter any thought what
ever will recognize in a most pressing
necessity. We doubt if there is a
point in the country where there is
any where near the traffic which every
twenty four hours passes the union
depot, but what has better accommo
dations thanis provided here in Mankato
for lunch purposes The Omaha people
recognize this fact and are seeking to
remedy the deficiency. The vacating of
the portion of the street asked for will
not interfere in the least with the city
opening Walnut street up to Pike
street should want to do 30,
as will some day doubles be the case,
for the portion asked to be vacated
does not extend beyond the easterly
limits of the depot.
It is said by some that the city ought
not to vacate this portion of Walnut
street unless the road will in turn give
to the city some or all of it's Fourth
street property for park purposes and
also to be used as site for the pump
ing station if desired. The Free Press
does not believe the two propositions
should be linked together. True the
city has been very generous to the
Omaha road and the road has done
we'll by the city. in return. 1t has
given us most magnificent train ser.
vice, in fact there are few inland
cities that are giving better accommo.
dations in that respect by large rail
road systems than Mankato. Of course
not all of this has been done with 8
sole thought of Mankato's desires Oh
convenience. But it is fact that re-
quests of our business men as to traiI
service, or matters at the depot have
always been given a respectful hearing
and action taken looking toward de
sired relies to as great an extent al
possible.
There is nothing about Mankatt
that is 30 widely commented upon by
the travelling public as this fact of TIT
lack of eating accommodations at th'
depot. There are many who will no
go the distance from the depot to TIT
, hotel for a meal or lunch, fearful o.
, being left by the train, and in the case
, of women alone with children it is of
} ten an impossibility for them to g
that distance and get a meal in the
time allowed.

THE COLD WAVE.
The High Wind Made it DOubIy Dis
agreeable.

dYIetdUit.
The cold wave which came Satur-
day night is general over the western
and central states, and was everywhere
preceded by snow. The wind was
northeast on Saturday, but during the
night it shifted to the west and the
mercury fell to eight degrees below
yesterday morning. A high wind pre-
vailed all day, and the highest point
reached by the mercury was zero. The
wind died out last night and the mer-
curry fell to eighteen degrees below
zero. The light snow drifted badly,
but fortunately there was not enough
of it to interrupt railroad traffic or
block the streets.
Considering the velocity of the
wind, yesterday was probably harder
day to keep warm than any during the
December cold spell.
1t is likely that the cold weather
will continue for several days.

we understand it is the purpose of the
Omaha company to clean it up and
put it in shape more pleasant to the
eye, anyway, no matter what the
council does in the Walnut street va
cation. We very much doubt that the
company could give the city all OF the
Fourth street property in exchange for
the little piece wanted at the depot.
but it is altogether probable that 1t
could be obtained by the city at very
reasonable sum, and it would be a
good plan for the city to negotiate to
that end, for with the growth OF the
city it will become more valuable, and
its ocation is such that it is needed
for park purposes, as we'll as location
for the city pumping station in the
near future.

BROWNgEILLES BIG DITCH.

The Laredo Times takes the big
irrigation enterprise just started
near Brownsville as text for a
sermon to Webb county property
owners with the advice to go aud
do likewise. Among other things
the Times points out some OF the
benefits of such an enterprise, aud
also pays The HERALD a neat com
pliinent, which is much appreciat-
Here il what the Time says, in
part:
Every big undertaking of this
kind is blessing to the cOmmuni-
ty. Il gives employment to thou
sands Of operatives and brings
money iuto all the channels of
trade. Every man, woman and
child Ia Cameron couuty will be
either directly or indirectly bene
fitted by this great enterprise. 1t
will undoubtly bring a railroad to
Brownsville fer the railroad al-
ways comes when there is enough
business to pay dividends on stock.
"This business venture shows
the rest OF the valley what may be
done when people really want TO
do things. Out beyond the hills
that Immediately border the river
there are hundreds OF thousands of
acres just as fertile AS Cameron
county lands. Their topography
is favorable for irrigation aud
there is no reason why capital
could not be interested as easily
here as at Brownsville il the peo-
Tple were equally determined to
have their lands changed from
Deserts to green fields. They can't
10 it themselves, at least, they
won't do it. Then why not give
another man an opportunity to de-
velop their agricultural resources
for themi Ii would cost them
portion Of their lands, perhaps
half, but what would be left would
be worth a hundred times what
the whole bailiwick is worth now.
brownsville is to be .cOngratu-
lated npon the success of her great
enterprise. Personally, the Times
extends congratulations to The
HERALD which has labored so long
and earnestly for the upbuilding
of It's community aud the success
ful launching of this big enterprise
is due 10 large measure TO the
persistent advertising Br'er whes-
Ter has given the resources of his
community"
