Few people in the Twin Cities can
realize or do realize that almost within
the shadow of their homes one of the
grandest works imaginable is being
done for the crippled, deformed, halt
and lame of the human family.
In the quiet, sequestered and pictur-
esque little village of Hudson, Wis, re-
moved only few miles from the Twin
Cities, on the Omaha road, opposite
Minnesota, just across the st. Croix
river, in plain sight of Saltwater, in the

office home, "Rose Villa" of DR.. VIC.
Arons, the eminent orthopedic surgeon.
The doctors place was christened
"Rose Villa" by very dear friend of
his, wealthy pioneer Minneapolis lady,
whose name is inseparably linked with
the founding, growth and development
of St. Anthony and Minneapolis.
On arriving at Hudson, you take
car at the depot and ride perhaps mile
or little more, threading through Hud-
sons shady streets, by some of the best

They leave their canes, clutches, stays

New York, July 21.-Announcement Of
an official nature has just been made. re-
garding the projected consolidation of the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois, the St. Louis,
Memphis & Southeastern and other lines
owned by the San Francisco road west Of
the Mississippi river. All of these are now
in operation with the exception of $50
miles between Thebes and ST. Louis, now
under construction. They are to be con-
solidated into the Chicago, ST. Louis,
Memphis and New Orleans Railroad COM
pany, new corporation which, including
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, and the
line now being constructed into st. Louis,
will own a total mileage of about 1850.
There will be an issue of bonds says
the Times, and it will necessarily be
large, as the proceeds will be used prin-
cipally to retire existing securities.
The plans, when accomplished will give
an important line from Chicago, st. Louis
and Kansas City over the Frisco and
Chicago & Eastern Illinois and for all the
northwestern territory served by the Rock
Island to the New Orleans gateway.
/ 1t is understood an arrangement be-
tween the Missouri Pacific and Frisco
has been reported, by which the line from
Memphis to Baton Rouge will be made a
joint line between the two companies,
thus saving an unnecessary duplication
Of lines for about 200 miles The San
Francisco will cross the Mississippi river

HIS LOVELY HOME ..ROSE VILLA AT HUDSON

The marvellous curing Of cripples and
deformities by this wonderful man,
with his bare hands, has excited the
greatest curiosity and aroused the most
Intense interest all over this country.
To think that he can, with his bare
hands, set dislocated hip or straighten
curved spine or right the wrong
caused by any irregular bone that
makes so many of the human family
cripples or deformities, seems so in
credible as to stagger the most confid-
ing belief.
But it is true.
He has hundreds upon hundreds of
testimonials of his wonderful work.
They are genuine, too, and signed by
the giver in each case. Then he has
letters upon letters, great files of them,
attesting his expert skill. These are
from people all over the country, in
every walk and calling of life.
In his office home one meets cripple
after cripple, and all are anxious otell
you what Dr.; Arons did for them he You
get it right from their lips. There can
be no question about it. Each and all
will tell you that he gave them no pain
with any Of his operations.
There are many Minneapolis and ST.
Paul people upon whom he has oper-
ated and cured-aud some of them the
leading and most prominent in the
business, professional and social circles.
There is no doubt about the genuine
ness of this work, and the great boon
it is to the crippled and deformed of
the human family.
Money, mere dollars and cents, cannot
measure the value of it; no price can
be put upon such work that makes the
cripple cripple no more, straight
and useful member of society. 'o@

Women in Business.

Iehuantepec is a city of Indians. The
architecture is Spanish, as is the language.
The people show little mixture Of blood. In
stature, feature, and color there is great
similarity.
Marriage is not popular institution, and
everybody is said to be related, which is prob
ably the case. The physical development
Is remarkable, the reason for whict no one
seems to know. The women are short in stat
ure never over five feet in height, with we'll
rounded forms. 1t Is said that they are the
most beautiful women in Mexico.
1t is seldom that woman is seen whose
figure suggests too much flesh. On the other
hand, none is thin or gaunt: The expression
is intelligent, laughing, bright An American
would not call the women beautiful, for the
dark rich -with-cream color is I'M
American, but the chubby, petite form at
tracts attention.
The women do all the labor, transact all
business, and fill the market-place. They
are the leaders In the business world. The
men are much their interiors. They are
small skinny and weak. They have no in
terest in life and do little work. 1t is said
that they have degenerated by reason OF
years of devotion to aguardiente, the ma
tive rum, but it Is hard to understand why
the native race has not degenerated. What
ever the cause, Tehuantepec is a city OF

The style Of dress has not changed in many
years. It Is picturesque and becoming. The
combination of colors is artistic. The feet
are bare. The refajo Is generally worn as

The immigration authorities are en-
phatic in their Recommendation that con-
gress take, some radical step toward bet
ter regulation Of immigration. The pres
ent conditions present very serious
problem. The United States is being
made the dumping ground for the dregs
of all Europe. Ninety. per cent of all the
people who come here are the very least
desirable kind. They are the most igno-
rant degraded and british Of all the old
worlds product. For the most part, they
congregate in the big cities. living in their
own colonies, and from them are recruited
the paupers ard criminals who fill our
asylums and jails. They furnish the an
archists. They do not take kindly to
American ways. They do not understand
a free government and they are its ene-
mics. Fully three quarters Of all the
counterfeiting that lis done Is carried on
4 by these foreigners. They bring with
them their feuds and the Malta and Its
assassinations. They are the rioters
in times of disorder. They do not till the
SOIL and when they work it is at wages

coming in ever increasing numbers.

Remers is still in receipt OF many letters
asking if his cure has held good.
1t will be remembered that some time
ago the particulars of Mr.. Kemers' case
were published in these columns. He had
been very low with Diabetes. Physicians
could do nothing to save him and ne grew
worse and worse till some one recommended
Dodd's Kidney Pills. A treatment OF this
;emedy was begun and when eight boxes
had been taken Mr. Remers began to see an
improvement which continued as the treat
ment proceeded till he was completely re-
stored.
He has since enjoyed perfect health and
is as robust and able man as any in Lancas-
ter. Interviewed the other day he said:
Many people wrote to me when the story
of my case was first printed and some write
to me yet asking if the cure was only tenn
porary and if the diabetes has returned. I
have only one answer to everybody. Three
years ago l was very low with Diabetes The

Kidney Pills cured me. lam well and strong

The couple arrived at the hotel in due

johnson escorted his bride proudly to

admiring glance at her, looked quizzically

The Best Way to Teach History

The idea of object teaching, the founda-
ton Of the Froebel system of instruction,
has in recent years met with general accept
ance and adoption in almost every branch of
education, high and low, with resultant ben
efits which are beyond question. Even such
subjects as grammer and arithmetic are
now taught in this way so far as practicable,
and with marked advantage over the old
dry and abstract method. The practice of
teaching history by making pilgrimages to
the very scenes where great historical events
have occurred is an application of the same
principle and much more valuable in the
way of impressing the reality of history upon
the minds of the young than any amount Of
mere textbook instruction could be. A re-
cent issue Of the "Four-Track Series" pub.
lished by the New York Central manage
nent, gives description of the historical
sites in the imme date vicinity of New York,
which will be of exceeding value for the
guidance of teachers and others who desire
to adopt this method of historical study.
One of the best ways to develop civic pride
and promote good citizenship lies in this
very direction, an increase of knowledge Of
local history being accompanied with an in
crease of interest in matters of local govern.

the welfare and good name of the commu-
