State Ticket.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July 22.-After
an all night session, marked by inter-
walls of disorder and commotion that
could not be quelled by the gavel, the
democratic state convention unani-
mously nominated Joseph w. Folk,
circuit attorney of ST. Louis, for gov
ernor and adopted a platform which
promises vigorous unrelenting crusade
against corruption and Doodle in Mis-
souri, in the event of democratic su-
premacy at the polls. Just as the day
was breaking the convention ad-
jOurned until ten O'Clock and one of
the most turbulent sessions of a Mis-
souri, democratic convention ended.
There was no doubt about the nomina-
ton from the beginning of the first
session of the convention. The Folk
delegates far outnumbered the dele
gates of his only rival for the nomina-
ton, Harry B. Halves, president of tho
Jefferson Democratic club of st. Louis,
and the result of the convention was
clearly defined.
All day the committee on credentials
was in session investigating contests
from st. Louis city and county and
the convention met twice in perfume

Peterson, Justice Of the Peace for Oconto
Co., has delivered a judgment that is of in
terest to the whole United States: Put
briefly, that judgment is, ''Dodd's Kidney
market to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason for
this judgment. He says: Last. winter I
had an aching pain in my back which
troubled me very much. In the, morning
I could hardly straighten my back: did
led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After
taking one box I can only say they have done
more for me than expected as I feel as well
now as ever I did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first symp-
toms of Kidney disease. If not cured by
Dodd's: Kidney Pills 1t may develop into
Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatism or
some of the other deadly forms of Kidney

Get Receipts.

The noted case of Henry Cramer of
Clara City, Minn., against the North
western Elevator company of Mime
apolis, has been decided in favor of
the defendant. There is involved in
this case a question of vital interest
to the grain trade and to every north
western farmer-the right of coun-
try elevator. manager to issue re-
ceipts for grain in form other than
that prescribed by statute and the
regulations of the railroad and ware
house commission, and the binding
power of such receipts or memoranda
upon the elevator company.
The case was bitterly fought in
June, 1901, was lost by the defend
ant, went before the Minnesota su-
preme court, was sent back for re-.
trial, and came up again last month
at Granite Falls. Fifteen or more
rough slips bearing memoranda in
numbers and signed by j. Keely,
agent of the Northwestern Elevator
company, but without date or other
marks of defniteness, made up the
principal exhibit. The, court decided
that such receipts are not binding
upon the elevator company and are
not collectable.
In the case in question the elevator
company was able to show that there
was no record on their books that
they had ever received the grain and
that their agent had never notified
the Minneapolis Office of any such
receipts. The first knowledge of it
came with the presentation of the
slips in question, which, the farmers
claimed, We're issued to them by
Keely for grain taken in.
With this decision in mind farmers
and country elevator men will have
need for greater caution hereafter.
