TO DOCTORS
Some of the Good Things
People Ought to Know OF

Doctors advertise their favorite pre-
scriptions, say just what they will do
and what they will cure. This was
the way that the newly celebrated
treatment, Rea Bros CaScarin,
jumped from the sale of few BOTTLES
to Five Hundred Thousand in the
past few years, and it has cured thou
sands of people.
The diseases for which CaScarin is
recommended are those affecting the
Liver, Kidneys, Stomach and Bowels.
Rea Bros. & Co., manufacturers of
their CaScarin, spent years of study
and thousands of dollars in perfecting
this medicine. Rea Bros. CaScarin is
prepared from the bark of tree grow
ing in southern California, Western
Mexico and South America. There is
no other remedy SO certain in action
and pleasing in result as in Rea Bros. ,
CaScarin.
Don't be too Skeptical. Look into
it thoroughly before passing judg-
ment. De not say that one thing can
not possess certain virtues because
others did not-that is foolish. Test
it and then offer an opinion.
Rea Bros. 'CaScarin is the ideal rem
remedy for gall stones of bladder,
and cures after all others
have failed. 1t is easy to take, being
pleasing in taste and well suited to
children. Mothers should be careful
to give their children no other laxa-
tive. They should keep it on their
medicine shelf for all members of the
family.
Rea Bros. & Co. are specialists of

LOCATION OF HALL.
Beaufort People Have Troubles Of
Their Own.
From NTondau,c noilv

Judge Cray held a special term of the
district court this afternoon. One of
the cases to come up was that of Louis
Pierce against John Dumm,, Chas.
Halves and John Morrow, supervisors of
Beaufort township. The plaintiff asked
that the court grant a temporary re-
straining order to prevent the defendants
from proceeding further toward erect
ing a new town hall half a mile from the
center of the township. The plaintiff
wants the building erected nearer the
store and two miles from the center of
the township
The plaintiff claims that the town
meeting voted last spring to have the
town hall erected where he wants it, and
says that the board is proceeding with
out authority to erect it elsewhere. He
wants it located on Fred Cramer's land
in section nine, opposite the school house.
The supervisors claim that the meeting
voted to place the building where they
are preparing to erect it. The clerks
minutes show that at the town meeting
a motion was made to put the building
where it is being located, and that mo-
ton to amend so as to place it on the
Cramer property was lost, the original
motion then being carried. 1t appears
that majority of the votes cast were
in favor of the amendment, but the
chairman supposed that a two thirds
vote was required to carry an amend
ment. so he ruled it lost, not having
two-thirds of the vote. This was al
lowed without an appeal being taken
from the ruling of the chair, so very
nice point of law is raised as to whether
the amendment can now be considered
carried.
A. E. Clark is attorney for the plain
tiff, and Thomas and Evan Hughes have
been retained by the board.

after colliding with another rider on
Labor Day, it is important that this wit

at the corner of Broad and Mulberry
streets, and the young man who was run
into got off of his wheel and asked young
Buschena whether he was hurt. Bus
chena did not at the time know how
badly injured he was and replied that he
was uninjured. He did not obtain the
name of the stranger. A. H. Lossow has

SAVAGE IS CALLED.
Board Of Equalization Considering As.
sessment on Dan Patch.
From fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
The state board of equalization yester-
day passed a resolution summoning M.
w. Savage of Minneapolis to appear be-
fore the board next Tuesday and show
cause why Dan Patch should not be as
sessed at so per cent of his cash value.
The board received letter from the
auditor of Scott county, stating that
Dan Patch was assessed in Glendale
township along with forty-seven other
stations and fine bred horses on the stock
farm of Mr.. Savage. The returns from
Scott county shows that forty eight
horses were assessed at a total sum of
$l2,5OO, making an average of $26l for
each animal.
II think that the board should ask Mr.
Savage to appear and explain why his
horse is returned at such a low figure
said President G. M. Sprague.
''The entire forty eight horses returned
from Scott county do not equal what Dan
Patch should be assessed for" inter
polated a member.
"Of course they don't; the average is
only $26l. Dan Patch is said to be worth
100000 He certainly should be assess
ed for $30,OOO," exclaimed another men,

GAINING LAURELS.
"BiIIy" Morrow Glasses As a Coming
Base Ball Star.
From Mondays Daily.

The Riesburg, Cal, papers are profuse
in their compliments of w. E. Morrow,
formerly of this city, and son of James
Morrow. In AIankato he was known as
Billy" but in California, in addition
to his laurels on the diamond, he has
acquired the nickname of pap" These
are some of the things that the papers
say about him:
"Old reliable Pap Morrow has become
permanent resident of Roseburg and
will continue to hold down his position
at Jamieson's cigar store. This will
cause feeling of intense satisfaction
to gladden. the hearts of the local fans,
for it virtually means that Pap will
head Roseburg's baseball aggregation
next year."
"Billy Morrow, the popular captain of
tho Roseburg club, is a coming star, ac-
cording to the accounts of several coast
league players who have seen him work.
"Jay Andrews of Portland, Jimmy
Whalen of Frisco, Danny Shea of Port
land, Brown of Sacramento and George
Engle, Joe Kostal and also Umpire Ed
Rankin are united in their commenda-
ton of the Roseburg lad, and think he
is able to make good in any minor
league. Morrow has batted 1915 clip
this season and can play first base or in
the outfeld in excellent style. From
the unanimous verdict Of players and
fans who have seen Morrow work, some
league manager would do well to give
him trial"
The following is from Coast Spec
ial: 'W. E. Morrow, who has so ably
handled the Roseburg base ball team on
the field this season, has played ball in
almost every state in the union. He is
considered by the people who know the
game to be one of the best posted men
on rules on this coast, as has been
demonstrated several times when ques-
ton of rules was in dispute on the
grounds. Morrow is a general utility
man, although his position on the Rose
burg team since it's reorganization has
been first base. When a player is in
jured, if necessary, he can do effective
work wherever he will do the most
good. He is considered a crack-a-jack be-
hind the bat At the bat Morrow has
several times pulled the team out of a
had hole by his timely hits, which are al
ways there when needed. In batting, he
leads the league. In twelve times at bat

From Fridays Daily


Al Cunning was given his preliminary
examination in the municipal court this
morning on the charge of grand larceny
in the second degree, in the alleged theft
OF a gold filled watch from James II.
Foster of Wells. A. H. Lossow appeared
as his attorney, and County Attorney
Wilson represented the state.
Mr. Foster was the first witness sworn,
and he testified that he was so intoxicat-
ed in certain saloon that he went to
sleep III his chair The watch was taken
while he was asleep, and he did not know
that 1t was gone until someone awOke
him and called his attention to the fact.
w. r. Crandall testified that Dunning
and another man had come into his store
and that Dunning wished to borrow So
on a gold filled watch. He did not do
this kind of business, but as the watch
needed 81 worth of repairing he took it
to repair it and let Dunning have So.
Dunning said that he would call for it
in two or three weeks. Dunning called
at the store the same evening, but wit.
ness was not in.

was asleep. Witness while at the back
door of the saloon heard Dunning tell
another man that he would $50 and get
what he had" Dunning then went in
and came out, and witness then went in
and walked his brother, fearing he had
been robbed. As his brother had not
lost anything, he awoke Foster and ask
ed him whether he had lost anything.
Foster said that he had lost his watch.
They then went out to try to find it
but could not
The state had another witness in the
court room, but tpis witness had been so
partial to the cup during the morning
that he was not in a condition to give
evidence and had to be quoted by an Of
ficer once or twice. The state rested, and
the defense waived further examination
and Dunning was bound over to the
grand jury in the sum of $500, and was
committed to the county jail.
Dunning has as yet been unable to To-
cate the man who he says handed him
the watch to pawn.

Robbers made good at the residence of
Mrs. Strum, three and half miles north
east of Madelia in Lincoln township,
Blue Earth county, Sunday afternoon.
While members of the family were alb
sent they ransacked the dwelling, Sc
curing between $500 and $500 in gold
which had been secreted in the clock,
bureau and other receptacles which were
supposed by Mrs. Strum to be safe places
in which money could be kept. The
robbers overlooked $50 which had been
slowed away in place that the burglars
did not imagine contained any money,
After the house had been broken into
the thieves had things all their own way.
As soon as the robbery was discovered
Sheriff Forsyth of st. James was mott
fed. Meanwhile the countryside was
aroused and all took a hand in the
search, hoping to find the robbers. In
the evening two strange men were OBJ
served emerging from cornfield about
half mile from the Strum home. They
took to the railroad track and walked in
the direction of Lake Crystal. Sheriff
Forsyth had notified the officers in the
towns along the line to keep a watch for
strangers and told them of the robbery.
1t was learned later that the two strange
men secured a lunch at restaurant in
Lake Crystal, but that while they were
eating their meal the marshal was in
another part of the village and he did not
see them. The police here were mott
fed
Mrs. Strum always kept a great deal
of money about the house and this fact
must have been known to the robbers as
they made almost a clean sweep.
The two men who were seen to emerge
from the cornfeld were large of stature
and one of them wore pair of blue
overalls
