Well Remembered.

Valley City, N. OAK, Dec. 1.-two
years ago Mrs. Matilda NJ. Boucher Of
this place suffered great deal with
dizziness iR her head. She was cured
of this by remedy called Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and has not been troubled
since.
Shortly afterwards she had bad
bilious attack, and for this she used
Diamond Dinner Pills and was COM
pletely cured In short time.
In January, 1903, she had an attack
of Sciatica, OF which she says:
II was almost helpless with the Sci
atica. but remembering what Dodd's
Kidney Pills and Diamond Dinner Pills
had done for me before, commenced
. treatment of these medicines and in
;hree weeks was completely restored
to health. have great faith in these
medicines. for they have been of SO
much benefit to me-"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are very popular
N Barnes County, having made
great many splendid cures of Sciatica,,
Rheumatism and Kidney Troubles.
Many families use no other medicine.

...L,:r So GULLY n.S k,cArn...

Ii Chief Executive OF tie republic
pleading the statute Of limitations for
alleged criminals IS not pleasing to the
great majority OF the American people.
In eehoIng, rarOtlike, the words Of
President Grant, uttered when his ad-
mipistratiop was endangered by the
whiskey ring frauds, Mr.. Roosevelt
seemingly desires that the offenders be
punished. But not all of them. Every
peculator, every thief, every apostle Of
loot whether under the present or past
administrations, should be prose cuted.
That a period at several years has
elapsed since the beginning OF the rot
tenneSs now uncoverInc ought not to
draw from the highest eTvan of the
people an ~admouition to the %proSecut-
ing attorneys not tn gu beyond tie
statute OF limitations. Mr.. Roosevelt
Is toos olicitious Tor the welfare Of some
n higher up III the official scale, whose
carefully concealed thievery is now be-
ing unveiled. The people demand :liat
the nufathful servants Of not only this,
but of preceding years be punished.
The pleading Of the statute OF limitations
would be proper enough il set up 10y
counsel for defendants. Why is Mr..
Roosevelt disposed to treat leniently the
the gratters OF preceding admIuistra-
tons, and Why has be so soon forgotten
the words, not rs yet backed up by
deeds, which he uttered when being
sworn III as the successor Of the late
lamented William Mckinley: HIS
high sounding phrases during :he cam.
paign OF lS9S are not forgotten, neither
is his failure To prosecute the canal
thieves whose populations were to have
been punished 10y imprisonment in the
renitentiary. Let no guilty man e-
cape has the true ring, bu. the dec.
laratiop has tot the oIor OF sincerity
when qualified by the words but do not
20 beyond the statute o! limitation
There is d lesseninG OF the regard felt in
certain quarters FOR the Executive since
lie qualified the utterancc of Grant. II
Is in line with his action III relation TO
the canal frauds. It Is disappointing Ia
many friends and admirers who believ.
ed in Mr.. Roosevelt. There Is "a feeling

Hard Ia Counterfeit,

a bank cashier Of long experience
stated recently that fully one.half OF the
silver dollars in everyday circulation
we're counterfeit. He declared that as
there was only a little more than 30
cents worth OF silver in a dollar. conn.
terfeiters were making them Of the en-
act purity and ~fineness OF dollars coined
by the government. The bank clerk
said that the makers were clearing about
% cents upon each dollar made. This
story went the rounds OF the uewspap-
ers. and was believed by most people.
Tboma5 X. McManus. the govern.
ment's Secret Service operator here,
whose business it is to know MI about
counterfeit money said:
Il read TINT statement when it was
printed IT was too ridiculous for seri-
ous attention by experts, but as il was
believed by "a great many people. il
might be worth while TO say that OF
every 100000 silver dollars in circulation
not more than one is a counterfeit with
any percentage OF silver In it.. 1t is
true that u nan could make a dollar

MORE THAN FIVE SENSES.
The Number Possessed by Man En-

Many of our scientists. until quite
recently have been reluctant to admit

there can be no longer my substan-

One such sense not possessed by
human beings. but to a greater or

TRUSTS

Hiram W. Stevens, one OF the most
distinguish he'd corporation attorneys in
the North, and President 81 the Mime
sofa Commission for the revision aud
ooditication OF the Statutes, declares
that John II. Rockefeller, J. T.. Morgan
and Others OF the immensely wealthy and
powerful leaders and directors OF mod
ern American trusts, have no right to DO
classed otherwise than on a par with the
robber bands OF old Germany. Mr..
Stevens says:
The methods they employ towards
the public differ from those Of the feu-
dial barons OF old only in form. The
feudal lord went ont with his men to
rob and prey on the public. These men
operate in a more GenteeI, but scarcely
less effective manner.

crosby, and OF Mr. Morgan's gifts. but |

Rockefeller money goes to a University,

Understand, | am not decrying those

cause their methods are tending toward

Springfield, ILL.,, April 24.-The Mt
tempt made by Speaker John Henry
Miller, of The Illinois house of repre-.
scntativcs, to gavel the measure known
as the Indy traction bill to third
reading, regardless of demands for roll
call on the proposition, resulted in a
riot that compelled the speaker to re-
tire from his chair. In his absence
majority of the members rcorgnnizcd
the house and recalled the bill to Sec
ond reading, and then substituted in
its place what is known as the Mueller
bill. Later the speaker was allowed
to resume his gnvel. and The temporary
chairman read to him a protest from
the majority against his actions. Ho
in turn brought the charge of bribery
against certain unnamed advocates Of
the Mueller bill as the excuse for the
use he had made of his gavcl.
Springfield, Ill.,, April 25.-Chargcs
of bribery made by Speaker Miller re-
suited in the appointment of an in
vestignting committee. To the five
members appointed on that commit
tee by the speaker, the house later
added six others, and action on the
traction measure was deferred until

the note were sent to all the powers

that China will not accede to them.

NO BASIS FOR CHARGE.
Illinois Bribery Investigating Conn
mtttee Said to Have Agreed
ON Report.

Springfield. ILL.,, April 29.-Investiga-
ton of the charge of "boodle" behind
the Mueller bill has practically ended in
the air. The committee report will be
that there was no foundation for
Speaker Miller's "boodle" statement to
the house Of representatives last
Thursday evening and no foundation
for the ''boodle" editorial in the Chi
cago Inter Ocean of a week ago Mon
day, alleging that "boodle had been
used" for the Mueller bill. This much
had been established when the commit
tee let the last witness go at 1850
o'clock this morning and sat down for
a preliminary discussion of the form
the report should take. Z. r. Bliss, Ed
win Burritt Smith, State Treasurer
Busse. Senator Campbell, Representa-
tive Indy and others appeared before
the committee. but no evidence worth
following was developed. These men
had been mentioned by Human in his
evidence before the committee. The
Mueller bill may be passed by the legis-
lature, even if the governor vetoes it.
An attempt to force report on it by
the Indy committee is agreed to by
20 members.
