Anoka Union: Talk about dirty
work. So nasty that it fairly stinks in
the nostrils of any decent, loyal citizens
of these United States. When this
government sends out from the pen
sion department creature-I wouldn't
call him man for a hundred-Whose
business it is to spy out some poor old
soldier who is drawing pension and
ascertain if there isn't something to
bring against him so that he may lose
the pittance or be subject to reduction.
That's just what is being done. Be-
lieve me or not, one of these skunks
was in Anoka short time ago, and
picked out s. p. Starrett as his victim.
1t was reported that this splendid SOL
dier and citizen was not totally blind
and all attempt was made to reduce
the pension. But the report proved to
unfounded and the old gentleman's S
pension still remains the same.

EMINENT English bankers and pub
lie men confirm the statement that the
excessive borrowing by municipalities
to support public ownership of tram
ways, gas and water works and various
other kinds of public industries has
brought the nation face to face with a
grave financial danger. The local gov
eminent debt of Great Britain has i'll
creased from $500,OOo,000in in 1875 to near
ly $4,000, ,000,00v in 1903. 1t is stated that
in many cases, interest charges are sup
portedsby taxation rather than by earn
ings and the natural depreciation of all
plants presents anything but a bright
prospect for the future. 1t looks as if
municipal ownership in England was a
failure financially.

Relief for Pneumonia.

Take six to ten onions, according to
size, and chop fine, put in large spid-
er over hot fire; then add about the
same quantity of rye meal, and vine
gar enough to make thick paste. In
the meantime stir it thoroughly letting
it simmer five or ten minutes. Then
put it in a cotton bag large enough to
cover the lungs and apply it to the
chest as hot as the patient can bear.
When this gets cool apply another,
and thus continue by reheating the
poultices, and in a few hours the pa
tient will be out of danger. This SIM
pie remedy has never failed in this too
often fatal malady. Usually three or
applications will be sufficient, but con-
'tinue always until perspiration starts
freely from the chest. This simple
remedy, says the New England Grocer,
was formulated, many years ago by one
of the best physicians New England has
ever known. He never lost a patient
by this disease, and won his renown by
saving persons by simple remedies
after the best medical talent had pro-
nounced their cases HOPELESS. Person.
ally we know of three persons who
were saved by the remedy last winter
in Boston after their physicians had
given them up to die and if a record
were made of all similar cases during
the last six years it would fill a good
sized volume.-The Worlds Progress.

see this graceful old lady speak to uIem iron the dramatic stage. As Mrs Gilbert said in her epilOgue she would like to be granny to the lot of them. It evidently struck those present that they were her grandsons and granddaughters. 1t was like one of those family gatherings on Thanks giving or Christmas times and granny of them all was speaking to them for the last time.
 The play itself under the title of Granny written by Clyde Fitch, gave Mrs Gilbert ample opportunity to bring out every portion of her versa tile nature.
 Granny" Is the mother of a dead wife, who has, kept house for Mir Allenby, the husband. She hears of his attentions to Mrs Mason, and thenceforth nothing is too bad to be- lieve and say of her. The husband, in man fashion, asserts his rights, and exacts >considerat ton for his new love. Then Granny leaves the house carrying with her the son, Jack, who puts faith Nin her suspicious and en- lists for the Philippines. Six years after Granny has found herself wrong all around and makes amends, but will not explain to far away Jack. She has lost for him six years of happy life by her mistake, and now is fearful of the loss of his love on discovery. She cannot tell him. Then arrives the bride. A handsome and joyous daughter of Mrs Mason, Dora, becomes her confidante and by letters, descriptions and photographs she gets the girl and Jack wildly in al, ofh they meet at Granny's and to the old , lady's consternation the boy sees the
 girl home. That brings the solution,
 of course, and Granny confessing, the
 family is reunited in happiness and
 love.
 From her first appearance until the curtain descended for the last time, Mrs Gilbert was received most gener- ously and her warm welcome on her , first entrance must have touched the i old lady's heart. The play had been : built for her and yet sherhad sur
 rounded herself with company more ] meritorious than you would expect
 under the circumstances. One of the charming characters was that of Dora
 played by Marie Doro. 1t was one\ of
 the sweetest and cleverest bits of act i ing seen on the local stage. Emmet i c. King as the son-in-law, Dorothy Hammond as the second wife, Jennie Reiffarth as Jane the servant, Frank F. Aiken as the grandfather and Will 1 liam Levers as Jack were all equally i good. It was a delightful perform
 ance and at it's conclusion when Mrs l Gilbert recited her epilogue which was published in the Saturday theatrical 1 column of this paper a few weeks ago. the audience simply aDDIauded i again and again until Mrs Gilbert was l forced to retire to her dressing room, ] through sheer exhaustion from bow l ing her thanks.
