A REPUTATION.
How 1t is Made and Retained in Man
katO.


A good reputation is not easily
earned, and it was only by hard con-
sistent work among our citizens that
Doan's Kidney Pills won their way to
the proud distinction attained in this
locality. The public endorsement of
scores of Mankato residents has rem
dered invaluable service to the COM
munity. Read what his citizen says :
Mr.. VIM. Hunter, corner of Elm and
North Front streets, says: ''Of and
on I had lameness across my kidneys
and backache. On these occasions
could hardly''get straight after sitting
or bending, owing to the sharp,
twangs passing through me like a
knife. 1t was painful for me to move
quickly or to lift anything. I read
about Doan's Kidney Pills in our local
papers and procured box at J. c.
Thro. I was so desperately lame in
my back that [ commenced with three
or four pills at time. 1t was surpris
ing how quickly they acted. Before
had completed the box their effect wal

INCREASE BOND ISSUE.
New Tax Law Will Premit this in Man.
kat0.

The report of the tax commission
having been published. and the legis-
lature having been summoned to meet
IN special session Feb. 4th to consider
the matter, Senator Benedict invites
those who have any ideas on the sub
ject or amendments to the bill to sug-
gest to call at his Office. He desires to
know the wishes of his constituents
in the matter before going to st. Paul.
There is one feature of the matter
that attention has not yet been called
to, and that is the raise in the assessed
valuation proposed by the measure.
There is state law which limits the
Indebtedness of cities to five per cent
of the assessed valuation. Unless this
is changed, the listing of property at
it's full value will 80 increase the valu-
alton for assessment purposes that
twice the amount of bonds now out
standing can be issued by cities.
Mankato's bonded indebtedness is now
1897, 900, but under the proposed law
it could perhaps be doubled. This
would allow of number of municipal
improvements if the people were will
ing to vote the bonds.

When Marquis Ito formed his last
