Painless Dentistry.

Nothing in the history of Stauntor
was ever known to interest the people
to such an extent as the painless ex
traction to teeth, inaugurate ted by the
Baltimore Dental Association. Ire.
mendous crowds visit the office daily.
The operators are kept busy from
morning until night doing all kinds
of dental work. They extracted over
eight hundred teeth last week. The
coming of this association has been a
blessing to the people, as they can now
have first class dentistry done for just
half the money formerly paid other
dentists.

FELL | YEAR bUzz-SAW
MARROW ESCAPE OF A WORKMAN
STRICKEN WITH VERTIGO.

Interesting History of Man Who Has
Been Near Death Many Times-Made a
Prisoner at Battle Of Cedar Creek.
While operating buzz saw in NAL
leable iron foundry at Troy, Henry
Simons, member of the Grand Army
of the Republic, was suddenly stricken
with vertigo and fell almost upon the
the swiftly revolving saw. But the same
good fortune that carried him unwounded
through four years Of active service du-
ring the Civil war again preserved his
life. While serving in Co. H, Twelfth
Connecticut Volunteer Infantry. during
the campaign in the Shenandoah Valley
made famous by Sheridan's ride, he had
been captured by the Confederates at
the battle Of Cedar Creek, and confined
in Libby prison for months before he
was finally exchanged. The sudden i'll
ness which brought him SO near all
awful death was the direct result of his
war experience, as Mr.. SiinoEs stated to
a reporter who called at his comfortable
home at No. a Linden avenue, Troy, NY.
:" Ever since the campaign Of New Or
leans in 1861" he said, 81 have been af-
ficted with malaria and frequent attacks
of acute gastritis, brought OH by constant
exposure and the malarial atmOsphere of
the bayou country. At times was SUBJ
ject to attacks of vertigo and it was
seizure of this kind that nearly ended
my life.
For over thirty years employed the
best physicians but they were unable to
give me any permanent relief. One day
saw DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People mentioned in a local newspaper
and decided to try them. Before had
finished the first box noticed that my
appetite had improved and that l was
much stronger. That also marked the
end of the attacks of extreme vertigo.
I kept OH taking the pills and my recov-
cry from that time was gradual but
steady. lam heartily glad to endorse DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
These pills have cured many stubborn
cases OF Nervousness, partial paralysis,
locomotor ataxia, st. Vitus' dance. rheu-
matism, sciatica and all forms of weak
ness whether i'll male or female. Sold
by all druggists. or sent postpaid at fifty
cents per box, six boxes for two dollars
and fifty cents, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady. NY.

OLDEST INHABiTANT DEAD
Joseph L. Alexander Passes Away,
kaed NinetY-seven Years.

From Fridays Daily.
Joseph L. Alexander died at his home
in lie Ray township yesterday, and the
funeral will occur Sunday at / p. m.
from the house and at 2 p. m. from the
Catholic church at St. Clair.
Mr. Alexander is believed to have been
the Oldest person in the county. He was
born at Seneca, Oneida county, New
York, Oct. 22d, 1906, and went with his
parents to Sandusky county, Ohio, before
he was twenty-one years of age. Later
he settled near Racine, Wis, in the thir-
ties, and there was married to Miss Mary
Myott. They moved to Prairie du Chen,
Wis.
When Major McGregor was appointed
agent for the Winnebago Indians, Alex
ander received employment under him at
the agency, his appointment dating from
June, 1916. He went with the Indians
from Prairie du Chen to Long Prairie
in lS4S, in the employ of the agency, and
came to Blue Earth county with them in
1855, locating at the Agency, now st.
Clair. He remained an employee at the
agency until the Indians were moved
away in 1865, and then retired from the
government service and went to farm
ing, spending the remainder of his days
on the farm
Mrs. Alexander died twenty years ago
last month. Nine sons and daughters
survive, William j., James E., Alden T.,
Newell L. and Miss Alkaline Alexander,
Mrs. Ellen E. Wilcox, Mrs. Mary Purdy,
Mrs. Maria Phelps and Mrs. Lydia A.
McCollum.
The deceased was well and favorably
known, and his death removes one of
the historic characters of the county.

TW!NE PRODUCT ALL SOLD.
State Prison Output for the Year Is
Spoken For.

The state board of control spent Sat
urdty at the state penitentiary.
One of the interesting facts disclosed
is that, although the Irvine plant at the
prison will this year manufacture 9,O0O,-
600 pounds, its largest output by over
100000 pounds, every pound of this
Irvine will have been sold to farmers in
this state before March l. This is an un-
usual record.
Last year every pound of Irvine made
at the prison was sold to farmers, deal
ers being unable to get it, but the de-
mand this year is so heavy that the in
creased output is practically spoken
for already.
Next year the output will be close to
100000 pounds.
The prison Irvine plant will save the
farmers of Minnesota $35O,0O0 this year
That is, if they bought their Irvine at
regular market prices it would cost them
$350,000 more than it costs them to buy
at the prison.

Nyquist & Iverson Take the Inilia.
tive in This Matter.
They Will Donate One Per Cent OF
Sales For the Year.
Other Merchants Should Do Likewise
and Help Good Thing.
Magnificent Fund Could Be Raised For
Highway Improvement.
From Mondays Daily.

&uohN"y .
Nyquist & Iverson, the well known
clothiers of Mankato, have taken the
initiative in the matter of good road
building. These gentlemen propose to
create good roads fund by reserving
one per cent of the proceeds of an their
sales from now ON until Jan. l, 1905,
to be donated towards the improvement
of the Mankato highways in Blue Earth
and Nicollet counties. Two safes will
be kept in the store, one for Blue Earth
and the other for Nicollet county, and
the purchasers of goods will be permitted
to designate into which safe the one
per cent shall be deposited. In this man
ner all the roads leading into Mankato
will be given the benefit of the money
raised
This is splendid plan to help in good
road building, and were the other mer-
chants of Mankato to adopt it, mag
nifcent fund could be realized during
the year.
Messrs. Nyquist & Iverson have GER
tainly displayed patriotic spirit and
they propose to do something in sub
stantial way to put the roads leading in
to Mankato in much better condition
than they now are.
The money thus raised will be placed
in the hands of the county commission
ers of the counties mentioned, with the
understanding that the money is to be
expended in the improvement of the
roads leading into Mankato.
1t certainly behooves all Mankato citi-
zens who have the welfare of the city at
heart and who desire to see the trade be-
tween the city and the surrounding
farms grow in volume, to favor with
their patronage those merchants who
adopt this most unique and excellent
plan of raising money to supply one of
Mankato's greatest and most keenly felt
wants, namely, decent, respectable roads
Such policy on the part of the purchas-
ers would soon induce every retail estab-
lishment in the city to join the workers
for a good road fund.

Senator Miller'S Position.

Senator Miller of Luverne has been
misquoted by the Dunn newspapers, and
in order to set himself right before the
public Mr.. Miller comes out in fiat
footed statement in which he says he is a
supporter of Judge Collins. Senator Mil
Ter says: 81 stand just where l always
have on our state issues, and l cannot
consistently support Mr.. Dunn. l am a
personal friend of his, and before Judge
Collins announced himself I was ready to
support Dunn if he could square himself
on the merger issue, because I was OPP
posed to the third term for Governor
Van SAINT ON principle. Judge Collins
candidacy puts a different face on the
matter, and I am in favor of his nomina-
ton"

Out For Collins.

Matters gubernatorial are slowly but
surely crystalizing into definite shape
and the contest for supremacy among
the Republican candidates may be said
to be well ON.
During the past ten days The Free
Press has been doing little inyesti-
eating on its own account as to existing
sentiment among Blue Earth county Re-
publicans on the governorship question.
OF over thirty letters addressed to
prominent Republicans in various parts
of the county asking for an expression
of choice between the three candidates
who are seeking the nomination, twenty
proclaim emphatically for Judge Col
Inns, and eight declare for Eustis for
first choice, but are for Collins in the
event that the Hennepin county man
does not enter the field. Two look with
favor upon Dunn if it is shown that he
is against the merger, but are against
him if convinced that he has any SYM
patty for the Great Northern Northern
Pacific consolidation. Mr.. Eddy has no
supporters so far as reported.
General Widell was among the number
of Republicans addressed but he having
been absent from the city for week
did not reply. Seen Saturday, however,
the general authorized the public an
nouncement that he is for Judge Collins
against the field. Among other reasons
given for his determination to support
the Judge, Mr.. Widell said: Judge Col
Inns is a man of strong parts. At a
time when his country needed defenders
he went to the front and endured the
hardships and privations incident to a
bitter war. After returning home at the
conclusion of the struggle he entered
upon the practice of law and continued
in that profession until elected to the
supreme bench. In every station of life
every way creditable. He has no fac
tional enemies within the party and is
held in high esteem by members of all
parties. He is a polished, courteous
gentleman and his candidacy will need
no apology or defense. He is strictly
right on the issues of which the Repub-
ican party stands in the state as well
as for what it contends for in national
matters. The opposition will be rob-
bed of an issue with Judge Collins as
the standard bearer of the Republican
party, and his nomination would pre-
sage one of the easiest and greatest VIC
tories ever recorded in the state. 1t will
be my pleasure to aid his candidacy in
any way that 1 can and all because l
feel that he best represents the need
full qualifications for position of this
high character
1t is but just and fair to say that
Mr.. Widell's position is shared by many
of the leading Republicans of Blue Earth
county, and it is every way likely that
the delegates chosen to the state con-
vention will be made up of men who
will support Collins.

ACTED QUEERLY.
Stranger Who Seems to Be Insane
Appears in BELGRADE,

Mr.. Keene, who lives seven or eight
miles across the Minnesota river, tele-
phoned to Deputy Auditor Kennedy Sat
urday, saying that man who appears
to be insane was there and was acting
very queerly. He wanted the asylum
at st. Peter notified, so that if anyone
had escaped, he could be recaptured. He
said that the man was headed toward
Mankato.
Mr.. Kennedy called up the insane asy-
lum at st. Peter, and learned that no
one had escaped from there, but the
authorities advised that if the man was
found his clothing be examined to see
whether the asylum laundry marks were
upon it.
Later, Mr.. Keene called up the po-
lice department to ascertain whether the
man had come to Mankato, but nothing
has been seen of him in this city. Mr..
Keene said that the man was a German
and had reddish beard.
