Mr.. Warmers Testimonial.

Office of Warner & Andrus, st. Paul,
Mimi, Aug. IL, l904.-Messrs, Brandrup
& Nettleton, Mankato. Dear Friends
Please accept my thanks for the letter
of recommendation you sent me some
time ago. am now employed in the Of
flee of Warner & Andrus, and am doing
nicely. / consider that L owe my sue
cess to the most excellent training [
received in your school. Since coming
to st. Paul | have visited several bust
ness colleges, and | must confess that |
should dislike to advise any of my
friends to come here for business and
shorthand education. In my opinion Mr..
Ball has no equal as a penman teacher.
That is not my opinion alone, but it is
the opinion of the 600 he instructed last
winter.
| have been talking to several young
people here about your school, and [
feel sure that | shall be able to interest
several to attend the NJ. C. C.
Again thanking you for all you have
done for me, | am yours truly,
B. A. WARNER.

CARD TO VOTERS.

To Blue Earth County Voters: l
have been reliably informed that GER
tain persons have and are circulating
a statement that / have in banks and
elsewhere a considerable amount of
money and stocks upon which / pay
no taxes.
| most emphatically deny the above
statement. 1t was put into circula-
tion for no other purpose than to de-
ceive and mislead my friends and sup
prters. When / entered the office OF
county treasurer, [ was heavily in.
debted upon a farm in which / held
only an equity, have since purchased
a house and lot and am still owing
considerable upon both. Upon these
two real estate properties, all that |
own, | pay an annual tax of $69.72.
| have no personal property except
necessary household goods and cash
enough to carry my familyfrom month
to month. Upon these l pay the
usual taxes.
| SHALL be pleased to have the strict
est investigation made of the above
statement of my property interests
and openly agree to donate to any
charitable institution any money,
stock or chattelS, found to my credit,
in this or any other state aside from
those above mentioned.
There is also statement being cir
culated to the effect that / recently
offered $4,000 for a house and lot in
this city. This statement is false and
was evidently put into circulation
with malicious intent.
l shall employ every honorable
means to secure a reelection and, if
successful, shall continue to extend
the same impartial treatment to every
one, and to do the work of my office
in a manner satisfactory to ALL
Respectfully,
LEWIS DAVIS,
County Treasurer.

We're not so well attended by people
from outside the city, as had been ex-

had been invited but failed to show up.
Nor did the farmers come to the city
in as great number as the leaders of the
celebration had hoped. The wetness of
the ground had great deal to do with
this. Though the day was very pleas
ant otherwise, the streets and roads
were very muddy, owing to the hard
rain of the day before. Moreover, the
farmers are thinking more of harvest

a good, jolly time. So it happened that
those who attended the events were
nearly all Mankato people.

see that there was to be a parade in
town. The union men decked in their
badges and uniforms were walking hither
and thither, getting things ready.
Bands could be heard playing here and
there. The Concordia boys got togeth-
er some time before the parade took
place The Second Regiment band from
New Ulm reported for duty. Another
band, advertising ''The Factory Found
ling, the play that was to be given at
the opera house that night, was also
in evidence
Police Officer Joseph E. Robb, marshal
of the day, had all his plans perfected
long before it became necessary to put
them into practice. With the help of
his three subordinates, M. Fallenstein
j. B. Guenther and II. Leiferman, mar
shals of the first, second and third di-
visions respectively, he soon had the
parade formed, and in due time five
hundred men, in marching array were
moving up Broad street from Jackson.
Crowds of spectators lined the walks on
both sides, not only on Broad, but on
Rock and Front street, as the parade
passed, on the way to Sibley park.
First came the platoon of police, sew
en- riding abreast, with Chief Donahue in
the center. Then came single seated
carriage with Chief Beach and Assist
ant Chief Bangerter. This was followed
by several vehicles of the fire depart
ment, two hook and ladder wagons and
two hose carts, all laden with firemen in
the attitude of going to eXtinguish a
fire. Carriages containing the mayor,
the aldermen, the board of public works
and the city attorney and recorder next
appeared, and these were followed by
other vehicles bearing the speakers of
the day. w. L. Comstock and b. c.
Taylor whose names and features are
familiar to the people, and John Durker
of Minneapolis, the orator of the cele-
bration, were the three who were to
render the entire literary program at
the park.
The Second Regimental band marched
behind these and appeared gay in the
pretty military garb. Then marched the
steam engineers, who were few in num-
Der. After these came the cigarmakers,
who, with their umbrellas of red, white
and blue, were certainly gorgeous body.
The cigarmakers went into the compe-
tition for the prizes with the intention
of winning something by their fine APP
pearance. Members of the typographical
union marched next, and these were fol1
lowed by big float bearing sixteen bar
bers in the duck coats in which they per-
form their tonsorial duties. The flour
mill employees were the next, and then
appeared sixteen union butchers riding
on horseback in white coats. The labor

p. MAGANN CURED OF PARALYSIS
AFTER TWO STROKES.

Regains Perfect Health ana Praises
DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
John P. Magann, of j. Magann q Co..
manufacturers of billiard and pool ia
bles, No. Chelsea street, Charlestown
district, Boston, Mass, suffered heavy
stroke of paralysis two years ago. The
first stroke was followed by a second one
of still greater severity and it required
his utmost effort barely to drag himself
about the house. Whenever he exerted
himself particularly he was attacked by
the most intense pains in the upper part
of his chest, and agony was added to
weakness.
The usual career of such sufferers is a
pitiable one. The strong man grows
steadily weaker, and finally lives only to
draw his breath and realize his utter
helplessness and misery. Here, how
ever, the case of Mr. Magann differs.
He did not succumb but conquered the
dreadful disease. How he did this, is
told by himself as follows:
81 had heard DIR. Williams Pink Pills
highly recommended for the cure Of
blood and nerve diseases, and decided
to give them trial. After had taken
three boxes of the pills 1 thought de-
tected signs of life in the paralyzed parts
of my body and knew that could get
about the room with greater ease.
81 kept on using the pills until [ had
taken six boxes and then [ was able to
walk outdoors with the aid of cane.
l still kept OH taking the pills and after
I had taken eight boxes 1 was COM
pletely cured. I have had no return of
the disease since and am today in as
good health as I ever was in my life.
1t is truly wonderful what curative
merit these little pink pills possess, and
would honestly recommend them to
any person who has partial paralysis
such as mine. I have often heard others
praise them, and l now gladly add my
Acknowledgements of the great good which
they have done me-"
The great reputation of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People is based on
the fact that they have wrought many
similar wonders i'll the cure of nervous
diseases, such as neuralgia, nervous
prostration, sciatica, st. Vitus' dance,
partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
They are sold by all druggists through
out the world.

Riggle came to the city several days
ago and registered at the Golden West

and gave him a prescription to which
he had signed the name of DR.. G. p.

quarter grain morphine tablets and when
the boy returned, Riggle took all the

this morning by chambermaid.
Riggle was about thirty five years of
age and leaves a wife and two children
