surprise to even the most visionary
Republican. Roosevelt carried the
county by $4,000.
Campbell for Congress by 500.
Wheatley for R. R. Com. $50.
Wells for State Auditor 500.
The whole county ticket was elected
by majorities ranging from 374 to
1867.
Kansas seems to have returned
to her old time majorities and
Neosho county has shown that her
new citizens are largely Republican
and that hereafter a Republican
nomination in the county, if the
candidate a fair minded man and
qualified for the position, will be
equivalent to an election.
The result all over the country
shows that the people have not for
gotten the disastrous results of plac-
ing the Democratic party in power
in this country. Then magnificent
ly prosperous times were turnec
into times of great commercial de
preston and the people evidently
concluded similar results were
likely to follow another Democratic
victory.

NATURE TELLS YOU
As Many a Mankato Reader Knows Too
Well

When the kidneys are sick,
Nature tells you all about it.
The urine is natures calendar.
Infrequent or too frequent action;
Any urinary trouble tells of kidney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills.
Mankato people testify to this.
c. Mccarthy of 9l3 North Front street,
retired farmer, says: 81 received great
benefit from using Doan's Kidney Pills.
For long time my back gave me
trouble 1 had Indigestion and sort
of fullness or gas in the stomach, did
not rest well at night, and was en-
barrassed with having to rise during the
night from too frequent action of the
kidney secretions. I learned about
Doan's Kidney Pills and procured them
from j. G. Thro. The use of the remedy
corrected kidney secretions, relieved the
other trouble and slept well after the
treatment. Doan's Kidney Pills can be
relied upon to cure backache and kidney

SERIOUS CHARGES ARE MADE
Sensational Law Suit Is Started...ln-
wolves Valuable Property.
From Mondays Daily

Whisky, clandestinely mixed with the
tea that was given to dying woman,
is the means whereby Mrs. Emma Sheer
an of Minneapolis claims that her moth
er-in-law, Mrs Mary Sheeran of Maple
ton, was induced to leave of her proper
ty, valued at about $4,000, to the lat
ter's daughter in-law, Mrs. Maria E.
Sheeran, widow, living at Faribault.
Mrs. Maria E. Sheeran nursed her dying
mother in-law at Mapleton. The latter
died on April Is, 1904. The will, leav-
ing all this property to the Faribault
widow, was filled in the probate court,
of Blue Earth county. The dead woman's
son, Frank Sheeran of Minneapolis, was
at that time on his death bed. He died
on June 2, leaving wife, Mrs. Emma
Sheeran and two children. Thomas
O'Connor of Redwood county, whose de-
ceased wife was daughter of the Ma
pleton woman who left the fortune,
knew nothing of the transaction at the
time.
As the will was filed in the probate
court and no one appeared to contest
it, it was allowed and probated on May
81.
The Minneapolis widow has brought
suit to have the will nullifed. This is in
the form of an appeal from the probate
court to the district court Jay Henry
Long, attorney for the appellant, went
to Faribault last Saturday afternoon and
served the suit papers on the Faribault
woman, in whose favor the will was exc
cuted.
Thomas O'Connor of Redwood county
will also contest the will.

SAVED FROM TERRIBLE DEATH

The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt of
Bargerton, Tenn, saw her dying and
were powerless to save her. The most
skillful physicians and every remedy
used failed, while consumption was
slowly but surely taking her life. In
this terrible hour DIR. Kings New Dis
covery for consumption turned despair
into joy. The first bottle brought i'm

completely cured her. It's the most GER

Mr.. Prouty's Opinion.

Hon. Charles A. Prouty, interstate
commerce commissioner, has never been
very friendly to railroad mergers, but he
believes the government should devote
its attention to regulating railroad rates
rather than attacking any more combi-
nations. Mr.. Prouty's opinion was
called out in an interview on the North
ern Securities decision and he says:
II don't know what the program of
the government is, but l don't believe
that the Northern Securities decision will
result in the breaking up OF any more
combinations. In my opinion the gov
eminent should not attempt any further
to destroy these combinations, but
should regulate their rates. The public
does not care how the roads are COM
bined SO long as the rates offered them
are just and fair. | doubt whether it
would be just to destroy such corpora
tions as the Pennsylvania road, Tor
example, because the stock was bought
by the public, who imagined that the
combinations were legal. The rights
have become vested and a hardship
might result if the court interfered. 1t
was absurd to announce the decision OF
the merger case as a great blow to the
trusts. 1t affects no other concern and
the reason why the government cannot
go ahead and dissolve other combina-
tons is this: In the NorthernSecurities
company, Hill and others got together
and, by a scheme and device, merged the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
which was conspiracy"

The St. Adams Messenger publishes the
revised election returns in the 245 cities
and towns in the state.
The corrected returns show that the
vote resulted in license majorities in 40
towns and cities and no license MAORI
ties in 205 towns and cities. One town,
Bloomfield, in Essex county, took no
vote on the question. In two towns
placed in the no license column, Underhill
and Plymouth, the vote was tie. Last
year 90 towns and cities voted for
license and $50 for no license.
The total license vote in 1904 was
21, 735 and the total no license vote
2S,662, giving no license majority of
6,927. In 1903 the total license vote
was 80, 1868 and the total no license vote
25,O53, giving a license majority of
5,315. The total vote cast this year
was 5O.397 compared with a vote of
SIS, 42O last year, falling off of 1924
votes.
Fifty-three towns and cities this year
changed from license to no license and
one town changed from no license to
license.
Our readers will be especially interested
in the vote of Caledonia county, the
comparison showing about the same no
vote, but a falling off in the yes vote of
over 300. Hardwick is the only town
where license sentiment made strong
gain, though there was slight gain in
the towns of Newark, Walden and
Wheelock. Following is the comparative
table:

In accordance with the prevailing Gus

the home.
Vermont, however, is natural park.
The elm, the maple, the oak, the ash, dot
it's hillsides and its valleys. It's noun
tains are covered with spruce and hem
lock and pine and beech and birch and
chestnut.
This park needs pruning and preserv-
ing even more than planting.
Improve the system of drives and of
highways.
Stop the vandals, in the persons of line
men, from disfguring and destroying the
trees growing on our roadsides and in
our streets.
Teach the lumbermen and the pulp
makers that, in their own interests, they

The American Fish Culturist grows in
interest and attractiveness with each
issue and we reprint on another page the
frontispiece of the current number, Two
little Vermont poachers." A beautiful
picture of Baker Lake, Washington,
appears in connection with an interest
ing article by the superintendent, Henry
O'Malley, a former St. Johnsbury boy,
upon the blueback salmon. DR.. Hen
shall's Angling Talks" makes one anx-
ious to drown some worms or whip the
brooks, and new and valuable feature
of the magazine is review of the foreign
magazines, being translations from the
German periodicals of fish cultural notes.
The American Fish Culturist is on sale
at the bookstores and published by E. N.
Carter, superintendent of the National
Hatchery at St. Johnsbury, at 81 SO a

of the Japanese army. This young fellow
is graduate of the Imperial Naval Col
lege in the class of 1884, and saw service
in the Franco-Chinese war. Robinson
Crusoe comes in for good deal of atten-
tion in a sketch of the author and
description of his island, both articles
being profusely illustrated. The@ St.

young folks and is published by The Cen
fury Co., New York, at So year.
The Interstate Journal will be widely
read in St. Johnsbury as it contains
four page write-up of our scale works
from the facile pen of Miss Lillian Wright

interesting information about scales and
their various uses, that is probably new
to most of our readers. The illustra-
tions include views OF the tool room, the
machine shop, the brass foundry and
a birds eye view Of the entire works.
Another article of local interest is the
story of Mr.. Archilles' dog 'Bowser,"
