Plenty Of Proof Right Here In
Cresco.

Claim is one thing. proof another.
Columbus claimed the world was
round.
Did people believe itp Not until he
proved it.
Unproven claims have made the
people skeptics.
Every claim made for the ''Little
Conqueror" is proven.
Proven in Cresco by local expert
ence.
Here is one case from the many we
have.
w. R. Owen, dealer in butter, eggs
and poultry, Elm ST., residing on 1st
ST., just west of Elm, says; s.Mrs.
Owen complained for some time about
pain across her back, not sharp but
OF dull, disagreeable nature. Soon
she was unable to attend to even the
most trivial duties about the house,
despite the fact that she used standard
remedies-all guaranteed to stop tie
annoyance. Reading notice about
Doan's Kidney Pills in Cresco paper,
impressed me with their value, SO
concluding they might help her I
went to the Shuttleworth Drug Co.'s
store for box and she commenced
the treatment. She was surprised
and more than gratified at the benefit
received. I consider Doan's Kidney
Pills worthy of recommendation or I
could not be induced to endorse them

WHY he DOES IN.

Druggist p. A. Clemmer Gives Rea-
sops for Selling at Half-Price.
"It ism It often that we have faith
in the medicines put up by other peo-
pie to be willing to offer to refund the
money If it does not cure" said drug
gist P. A. Clemmer to one of the many
customers, sbut I am glad to sell DR..
Howard's specific for the cure of con-
stipation and dyspepsia on that plan.
"The Howard Co., in order to get a
quick Introductory sale, authorized
him to sell the regular fifty cent bot
tie of their specific for half-price, 25
cents, and, although we have sold a
lot OF it, and guaranteed every pack
age, not one has been brought back as
unsatisfactory.
"He is still selling the specific at
half price, although he connot tell
how long 1 shall be able to do so. Any
person who is subject to constipation,
sick headache, dizziness. liver trouble,
indigestion or general played.out
condition, ought to take advantage OF
this opportunity. If the specific does
not cure them, they can come right
back to my store, and will cheerfully
refund their money.

Tuesday the editor was over to

through Albion the corn is good but
requires several days sun and warm tn
to mature it. A very fine crop is on
the John A. Fox place and on the
farm on the opposite side of the road.
Although the grain is not all stacked
fall plowing is being done on nearly
all thefarms. A great deal of the
grain has been threshed, the grain in
nearly every instance being light in
weight. On the Weinfauf farm, for

an immense quantity of grain in the
stack, while there remains large
amount yet to stack, the continued
rains having retarded the work. A

Dad Talks About Cresco

AS town for factory of any kind
that uses shipped in material, only
it would be nit; but there is no better
location for the manufacture of home
grown products. The soil and climate
here are we'll adapted to the growing
of sweet corn, tomatoes, beans, squash
and all other products used in a can
ming factory. tits also good loca-
tion for the production of milk. A
condensing factory here would be q
good investment for the farmers, as
the two combined make profitable
farming. It would be better to raise
money for such than for street fair
to be held in the only passible street
in Cresco, while the people on other
streets have to use rubber boots and
bathing suit to get into their eel
lars.

The Alaska prospector., 1903-05-07
For Coal Bay Oil Fields.

Probably the largest and most expensive outfit in connection with the development of the oil fields of Alaska went through here on the Excelsior. It is consigned to Coal bay by J. H. Costello, Buffalo capitalist, and his associates, and with a minor shipment to follow on another vessel represents an in- vestment of $50;OOO. There are fifteen carloads of machinery and supplies.
 The management of the develop ment work rests with Capt. Austin Lathrop, of this city. He was one of the first men in the Coal bay district, which is on the Alaska peninsula, about 100 miles west of the mouth of Cook inlet. Although very little has been said about these fields, they nevertheless com prise about 65,OOO acres of located oil lands It has been about three years since the discovery of oil standing in pools and small lakes all over this region was made. Since then Costel's and his associates are said to have quietly expended upwards of $lOO,O00 in improve ment and development work. They have now twenty men employed on their property and more go west on the Excelsior, on which Mir. Lathrop also took passage. The present season will be devoted largely to wellboring.
 There are other heavy operators in the Coal bay oil fields, among them being James Casey and J. NJ. Brawley. Casey was also on the Excelsior and took with him large amount of supplies and min ing machingry.
 Oil operators familiar with the Coal bay fields declare they are as as those around Kayak. One concern, the Alaska Develop ment Company has expended $250, 900 in the past two or three years in the preparation of their land, several thousand acres in ex- tent, for-actual development.

Senate Committee on Alaska.

It seems that it has been at the earnest solicitation of the Presi- dent that the Senate has appointed a subcommittee to visit Alaska consisting of Senators Dillingham;, of Vermont, chairman; Burnham, of New Hampshire; Nelson, of Min ncsota, and Patterson of Colorado. This committee will sail from Seat tie some time in June, and will spend all of July and August, and perhaps part of September, in the territory. Ii is the purpose of the members to make a more thorough investigation of the conditions in Alaska than has ever been made by any individual member of con gress, or by any committee of either house or senate. The sub-commit- tee is empowered to summon per sons to appear before it, and to ex- anime them under oath; also to call for any papers they may wish to examine. It will have in this respect all the authority of d court of law. Senator Beveridge says that the subcommittee would ex- anime particularly into the land situation, the mining industry and the question of authorizing the elec- ton oi d delegate to represent Alas ka in congress.
