CLIMATIC CUR ES.

The influence of climatic con-
ditions in the cure Of consumption
is very much overdrawn. The
poor patient, and the rich patient,
too, can do much better at home
by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and regular use of German
Syrup. Free expectoration in the
morning is made certain by Ger
man Syrup, SO is good nights
rest and the absence of that weak
ening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the ex-
haustion due to coughing, the
greatest danger and dread of the
consumptive, can be prevented or
stopped by taking German Syrup
literally and regularly. Should
you be able to go to a warmer
cline, you will find that of the
thousands of consumptives there,
the few who are benefited and re-
gain strength are those who use
German Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c

GRAND ARMY STIRRED
Camp Fires Blaze with Joy Over
Escape Of General BedeII's
War Orderly from a
ParaIytic's Fate.

When Mr.. Ross g. Duffy, of No! Il
Russell avenue, Nashua, NH, was sud
denly Frustrated by paralytic shock
the deepest concern was felt throughout
the town in which he had been promi
inent official.
| Grand Army men were especially so
licitous for in the Civil war Mr.. Duffy
had acted as General Bedell's orderly
while serving with 90. r Third regiment,
New Hampshire Volunteer infantry, and
after the war he became q member OF
General Foster Post, G.. A. R., and rose
to be department. vioe-commander.
The general anxiety felt about him af.
ter his sudden shock in the latter part OF
1901, was slightly relieved by the news
that he had come out Of state of un.
consciousness which had lasted for five
days, but as week after week went by
and he made no further progress, one
leg remaining paralyzed, it was con.
cluded that the highly honored veteran
must at best remain cripple for life.
Suddenly to the surprise and delight
Of every one Mr., Duffy appeared on the
street in Enthusiastically robust health
and was overwhelmed by congratula-
tions and inquiries:
"The regular treatment" said Mr..
Duffy, "didn't do bit of good, so fa1
as my paralyzed leg was concerned. My
left leg remained cold and dead, and
had been too active man to be content
to be housed up with one dead leg if
there was any possible way to cure it..

be thankful to DR.. Williams Pink Pills. I"

JACKSON COUNTY SEAT WAR.
Arguments Made in the Supreme
Court Yesterday.

FROM SdCurQayS Ddlly.
A mandamus proceeding, argued yes
terday in the state supreme court, is
said to be one of the preliminaries to
bitter county removal war in jackson
county. Lakefeld, somewhere near the
geographical center of the county, is a
rival candidate with Jackson village for
county seat honors.
The action was originally commenced
in the district court of jackson county
to compel County Auditor P. d. Nc
Kellar to extend on the tax books of the
county $4,000 levied by the county com
missioners for court house purposes.
The auditor contended that the pro-
ceeding was illegal and that as the
books had gone out of his possession he
could not comply with the order of the
commissioners. The district court sus-
tanned the auditor and the mandamus
proceedings were appealed to the SUI
preme court by the commissioners, and
argued and submitted yesterday
The present county seat is at Jack
son and it is said that the proposed
levy of $4,000 on the taxable property
for the taxes of 1904 if put in operation
will create fund which is to be the
nucleus for larger fund which will
provide new court house to be built
at Jackson. The Lakefieid adherents
argue that the proposed levy is illegal,
and say that if they can defeat it their
| town stands an excellent chance for Sc
curing the county seat. Senators Put
| nam, of Blue Earth, and Somerville, of
Sleepy Eye, are attorneys respectively
for the county commissioners and the
| auditor.-St. Paul Globe.

NELSON ALSO DENIES.
He Contradicts Mr.. Hil's Statement Rel
alive to Solicitation.

E. A. Nelson, state librarian, was
charged by Mr. Dunn with having been
Judge Collins agent in soliciting cam
paign contributions from Mr. Hill. Mr..
Nelson has been writing some letters
himself and supplements Judge Collins
foregoing statement with the following:
Immediately on learning that Mr..
Dunn, in speech at Minneapolis on
May 6, accused me of having called on
James j. Hill and asked him to contri-
butte $4,000 to Judge Collins campaign
fund, and that he gave Mr.. Hill as au-
thority, l wrote Mr.. Hill asking him to
state whether he had authorized such a
statement and whether it was true. l
never expected anything but fiat de-
NAL from Mr.. Hill, but in my haste 1
overlooked the we'll known obligations
and sympathies existing between him
and Mr.. Dunn. Mr.. Hill in his letter to
me makes two positive statements-one
that L called at his office and spoke to
him about "some farmers coming to
visit the state agricultural FARM" and
the other, that he has ALWAYS tried to
avoid any connection with state poll
tics" The former statement is true, but
the latter will make some people choke
if they must believe it. According to

AN INSPIRING MEETING.
Mankato Conference Of Congreqa.
ti0naI Churches at Fairmcnt

| The Fairmont meeting OF the Mankatt
| conference of Congregational churches
came to close Thursday evening after
an invigorating session. The addresses
were timely and the church life in gener
al, as reported, encouraging.
Opening Wednesday afternoon, the
Women's Missionary societies occupied
the time till the evening session with re-
views and reports of work. Mrs. Chas
HI. Cooper of Mankato very ably present
ed the matter of home missions and Mrs
w. j. Richardson of Fairmont, encourag
ed more foreign missionary spirit. Mrs
DIR. Leudtke of Fairmont, read an inter
esting paper on "Slavic Work." and Mrs
w. B. Hubbard of Sherburn, gave a
good idea of the Alaska operations. Al
together the meeting was the best ever
held in the conference.
In the evening Rev. w. B. Hubbard
of Sherburn, preached on practical
Christianity" pleading for more hopeful
ness and more faith in the uses of our
religion. Communion was afterward
conducted by Revs. Fisk, of Freedom,
and Griffith, of Cambria, in most i'm
pressive manner.
Thursday morning was largely given
over to business, revision of the consti-
tuition being carried, one of the chief
points of which was the proviso for a
fall meeting as well as the annual spring
conference. Rev. White, of Ceylon, then
spoke on Modern Signs of the Spirits
Power" He said among other things
that minister ought to be ashamed to
have an evangelist come to his field. Ev-
cry preacher ought to feel it incumbent
upon himself to reach out broadly and
help the needy. Rev. Willoughhy of
Granada closed the session with de-
votional service which was marked by
real feeling and conservation.
In the afternoon bible study by DR..
Merrill of Minneapolis, on the epistle
to the Galations was much appreciated
as was Prof. Payne's talk on christian
Education" DR.. Herrick presented the
subject, 'The Broader Congregational
ism," in manner that introduced all in
new way to the problems that await
to be solved ere the proposed Congrega-
tional, United Observation-Disclosures
Methodism union can be made possible.
The final meeting was addressed by
DIR. Merrill who emphasized the need of
renewed effort to make good the Home
Missionary deficiency in finances. He
said it was no use to attempt an escape
from responsibility for the church mem
bers are the society and what it owes,
they owe.
Thomas Hughes of Mankato, Rev. Nc
Intosh of Worthington, and Rev. Heer-
nance of Mankato gave brief and
practical addresses on, respectively,
ideals in the pulpit, pew and church
ranks
The Home Missionary committee re-
ported in the morning and it ordered
through its chairman, Rev. E. I. Heer-
nance, to distribute copies to the various
conference churches.
The meetings were all marked by gen
uine fellowship and desire to be mu-
tually helpful.

MI. DunnS statement as TO Mr.. Hill
street corner talk, it would appear that
Mr.. Hill has been interested in politics
to the extent of hundreds of thousands
of dollars during the past few years. 1t
is evident that some one is forgetting
to tell the truth
His statements as concerning my hav-
ing solicited $4,000 for Judge Collins
campaign fund, or that 1 named such
sum as being necessary for his campaign.
is indefinite, and it seems that Mr.. Hills
usually excellent memory has played
him a convenient prank. On this state
ment l beg to radically differ from Mr..
Hill. At the interview referred to, car
ried on standing in the public reception
room of his office, within easy sight and
hearing of office employees and visitors,
only mere mention of Judge Collins can
didacy was made, and no sum of money
whatsoever was mentioned When l see
Mr.. Hill about contributions to any ones
campaign fund I'll see him comfortably
sitting down in his private office.
The following is Mr.. Hill's letter:
"Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge your
letter of this date, and in reply l desire
to call you attention to what occurred
in call you made at my office some
time during the past winter. You spoke
about some farmers coming to the state
agricultural farm, and then asked me
if 1 had enough interest in the election
of governor of the state to contribute
$4,000 or $4,000 to a campaign fund if
Judge Collins could be nominated, or that
with that sum he could be nominated
1 replied that 1 did not desire to inter
fere in state politics; that my interests
in the matter only went so far as to
hope good man would be nominated,
and that [ would not undertake to furn-
ish that or any other sum of money for
the purpose requested. This, l think,
you will recall is substantially what oc-
cured.
''For some time past there has been
a determination to make political issue
in the state of myself and my work, and
while what l have done in the state is
a matter of public record for the past
quarter of century, have always tried
to avoid any connection with state poll
tics. Yours truly.-James j. HILL"
l reiterate my former statement that
neither Judge Collins nor his advisers
ever asked me to solicit funds from Mr..
Hill or the Great Northern, nor ever
mentioned such a thing in my hearing.
[ have not at any time asked Mr. Hill
for money for Judge Collins campaign
nor suggested his contribution or support
in any form. e. A. Nelson.
Mr.. Nelson says he did not seek the
interview with Mr.. Hill. He had written
in behalf of claim filed by neighbor
in Kittson county, and also about some
special rates for a delegation of farmers
seeking to visit the state agricultural
school. Word was sent him from the
Great Northern offices that Mr.. Hill
wanted to see him. He was advised by
friends not to 90, but went ahead, be-
ing careful, however, to talk only in the
outer office, in the presence of several
employees.
At the Dunn headquarters today moth
ing was given out. 1t was said that Mr..
Dunn had gone to Minneapolis and Mr..
Heatwole to Northfield
