FOILED DEATH
Doctors Told Mrs. Wake That
She Was Doomed to Quick
Consumption --=Cured by
Dr.WiIIiams' Pink Pills.

To lie at the point Of death for
months, to be told by the physician that
there is no hope of recovery and then to
be restored to health and strength by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, was the experience of Mrs. w.
II. Wake, of No. "a Broad street, Rah-
way, N. J. To look at her now one
would think it hardly possible that she
had ever had serious illness. Speaking
of it she says:
'About three years ago I was in
condition generally known as rundown.
was miserable indeed; lifeless and Ian.
guild. I had no strength at all, all de-
sire for food had left me, was terribly
nervous and could not sleep. What was
worse I did not improve, and my weight
went down from 1876 pounds to 96.
was under the care of a physician for
thirteen months but still I grew worse.
He said my blood had almost turned to
water. was so weak that I was obliged
to lie down all the time; if 1 tried to
stand or even to sit up would faint
away.
sFinally the doctor told me that un-
less / began to get better within two
weeks was doomed to quick consump-
tion. Then gave up all hope.
"But about this time friend, who
knew something of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, advised me to try
them. I did so and, after taking the
third box, began to feel better. I con-
tinued using them faithfully until I was
cured. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are wonderful remedy for per-
sons afflicted as I was and I shall always
recommend them"
The disease from which Mrs. Wake
suffered was anamia. 1t is characterized
by a paid complexion, pale lips, dull
eyes, tongue and gums bloodless; short
ened breath on slight exertion-such as
going upstairs; palpitation of the heart,
feeling of impending death, weakness,
| loss of appetite and ambition; irregu-
larity and pain in the natural functions
| of women.
The one remedy that has proved itself
a specific for anemia is DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. They are sold
at so cents box or six boxes for $3.50,
and may be had of all druggists or direct
by mail from DIR. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Z.

ArLANrA. GA.

A plat was brought in evidence and
identified; also profile showing the
elevation between the barn on the
Wellner premises and the Danheim
home. 1t was shown that the distance
between the two places given is 954
feet less than four miles
The next witness called was Fred
G. Mueller of st. Paul, who testified
that he was in the saloon business
in that city on Mississippi street in
1897. and that Tanke worked for him
four months that year, commencing in
June that Tanke was his bartender
during that time, and was honest and
Industrious
A revolver was introduced, which
Mr.. Mueller recognized as one he had
in his place of business during Tanke' s
stay with him. The revolver belonged
to Henry Retzmann, tie owner of the
building occupied by Mueller. Tie
! witness further testified that Tanke
told him when he left that he intended
to learn the blacksmith trade. Henry
Retzmann of st. Paul was sworn and
corroborated the testimony given by
Mueller and identified the revolver.
August Tanke, father of the prison
! er, was sworn and testified through an
interpreter that he lives in New Ulm !;
that on the evening of the murder his
son Frank came home at about two
minutes after 8; knew that it was 8
o'clock by the Ginning of the Turner
hall clock that this was the first time
he saw his son that evening; that his
son was also home on Christmas eve,
the week before He also testified that

-four sack.

is one of the main witnesses for the
state in the Tanke murder case at
Henderson, which was removed from
Nicollet county on change of venue,
was in Minneapolis yesterday. He
subpoenaed a number of witnesses
and returned with them to Henderson.
The states evidence has all been
presented but it is not expected that
the case will be finished for two
weeks. The defense is attacking the

BURGLARS BUSY CROP CONDITIONS
They Are Reported Good Along
the C. & N. w. Road.
Acreage is Large, Grain is Forward
and the Outlook is For an Early
Harvest.

A very comprehensive report of
crop conditions along the line of the
Chicaog & North Western road west
of Winona has just been issued. Over
this entire territory the prospects were
never as good as at present a heavy
even growth of fine dark color, show
ing at every point sufficient moisture
and general healthy condition. Com
pared with other seasons the condi-
tions are much more favorable and the
season is about the same as in former
years with the exception that at
present it is making such rapid
growth towards maturity that at least
30 per cent of above territory promises
to be exceptionally early and it is;
quite certain harvest will begin in
July.
From Winona to Owatonna at least
go per cent of the acreage is barley,
balance corn, wheat, oats and rye in
order named. Have had all the mois-
ture this section can stand, but no
damage done to date. This section is
usually damaged by chinch bugs and
this is the reason the acreage of wheat
is SO small C ompared with other Sec
tions, but no damage to date by any
cause. Barley will begin to head out
generally in a week from date.
From Owatonna to Candy a large
per cent is spring wheat, balance bar
ley. corn, oats, fax and rye in order
named, and this section contains the
very earliest section on the division.
Barley will begin to head this week
and within ten days wheat will begin
to head, and by July the wheat will
be headed in large area of this section.
From Tracy to De Smet, s. D., at
least 60 per cent of the acreage is
spring wheat, balance in order named
barley, corn. oatssand fax. This is
perhaps the most late grain on the
division, ,sbut in other respects fully as
promising, but later.
From De Smet to Washington, S. D. ;
at least 70 per cent is spring wheat,
balance corn. barley and oats in order
named. Is little earlier than from
Candy to Clark.
From Clark to Gettysburg, s. D., at
least 70 per cent is spring wheat.
Balance corn, barley and oats in.
order named Is about the same as the
section noted Immediately above.
From Doland to Groton, S. D., at
least 70 per cent is spring wheat,
balance corn, barley, oats and fax in
order named. The grain on this line
is not as promising as lin other divi-
sions. 1t +, has good growth and color
but too many weeds.
From Wessintgon to Prene, S. D. at
least 30 per cent is spring wheat, 30
per cent barley, balance corn. This is
all early grain.
All grain has made steady progress
since seeding. Have no drouth, no
frost, in fact all conditions have been
favorable Compared with last year
in per cent the comparison is:

also unfortunate that he should have
allowed himself to have become SO
much involved in debt.
Mr.. Campbell of ST. Paul, state
agent for the New York Life Insur-
ance Co., came to the city today for
the purpose of obtaining from Mr..
Robinson the papers and blanks that
belong to the company. He states that
he learned Monday for the first time,
from gentleman in this city, of the
nature of the reports about Mr.. Rob-
inson a few moments later, Mr..
Atchison called upon him in search of
Robinson and he learned more. He
Immediately discharged Robinson
from the employ of the company. He
states that Robinson's accounts with
the company are balanced.
Mr.. Campbell stated to the Free
Press reporter this afternoon that his
company did not desire to have any
body in its employ who did not bear a
first class reputation and have good
standing in the community. He de-
clared that no letter was ever written
to Mr.. Robinson, sayingsthat his past
was of no concern and that what was
desired was that insurance be written,
or words to that effect Any such
letter, if one was exhibited, was a
forgery.
Mr.. Robinson has not yet applied to
Judge Cray to have the amount of his
bail fixed. He denies that there were
any duplicate Nielsen or Lampert
notes, and claiml that everything done
by him was son the square. He
denies the story about the Lampert
note, saying that he turned the note
over to Peet & Son promptly, and did
not put it up for collateral.
Mr. Nielsen, when seen, said that he
did not care to be interviewed regard
ing his note, as that was not under
investigation. He had lost nothing,
and nobody else had by any use that
had been made of it.
