Learn How To Get

Backache and kidney ache are
twin brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the
backache until you cure the kid
ney ache.
If the kidneys are well and
strong the rest of the system is
pretty sure to be in vigorous
health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make
strong healthy kidneys.

to check the trouble BY taking a
number Of medicines, but [ re-

GRAND CALL TO DUTY.
Judge Alton B. Parker's Greeting at
His Home to the Democratic Editors.

A widely representative party OF
Democratic editors has just had an OPP
portunity to see and take some mental
measure Of the Democratic candidate
for President of the United States.
Their timely and justifiable curiosity
has been happily and abundantly re-
warded. That he has more than
reached a satisfactory height Of ex-
pectation is, according to the testi-
mony of an impartial press, fact in
disputable and unquestioned.
Judge Parker received the editor
visitors at his Rosemount home, with
a dignity and cordially which cap
tivated every guest. Unaffected SIM
plicity and manifest sincerity marked
the bearing of the man and deeply
impressed his visitors. The good words
oftentimes spoken Of him by his
friends were fully justified in the ex-
cellent impression wrought by his
own individuality. The superiority OF
the man was palpable in every accent
and gesture, and all his demeanor
marked him worthy Of high honor he
wears.
The Introductory words of Col.
Knapp, editor Of the st. Louis Re-
public, were peculiarly apt.
1--WE rejoice" said Col. Knapp, ad-
dressing the candidate, that the prin-
ciples and policies of Democracy have
found so worthy an exponent in 1904.
We are proud of the man who has so
impressively demonstrated that he
would rather be right than be Presi-
dent"
Responding to this greeting the
Democratic candidate Immediately, in
a happy way, commended the leaders
of his party by contrasting the cabinet
officers of the last Democratic adj
ministration with those of their sue
ceeding political opponents. The re-
minder of the characters Of the men
he named and extolled warmed the
hearts Of his admiring visitors. They
knsw he spoke words of conviction
which represented the general public
impression. They. knew and reflected
that every one of the eminent Demo-
Gratis he named left office with clean
record of duty, honestly, faithfully and
excellently performed No scandal at
tached to the regime Of any Demo-
cratic cabinet officer. Not the slight
est question limiting of occasion or
propriety for investigation ever arose
as to a single executive chief Of the
last Democratic administrations. The
suggestiveness of the Judges allu-
sions, in view Of the extravaganza, the
recklessness and the disregard Of Of
fetal obligations exhibited by Republi-
can cabinet officers was SO patent and
forceful that it naturally delighted his
hearers. 1t gave forth a thought we'll
and constantly to be borne in mind
during the vital stress Of this cam
paign.

Passes Resolutions Urging Russia

War. .. '.
War Experts in st. Petersburg
Guessing What Japs Will
Do Next. ~

Boston, Oct. g. The international
peace congress has adopted resolutions
calling upon Russia and Japan to end
the present war, and upon the signatory
powers Of The Hague convention to
press upon the governments of Russia
and Japan the Importance Of putting
an end to the strife. :
DR.. w. Evans Darby of England pre-
scented the report of the committee on
questions Of the day in the form of
resolutions, calling upon the congress
to appeal for an ending of the Russo
japanese war. The resolutions were:
"Resolved, That the congress address
to the emperors of Russia and Japan
an earnest appeal, entreating them,
either by direct negotiations. or by hav-
ing recourse to the friendly offices Of
some neutral power or powers, to put
an end to the awful slaughter of their
subjects now going on, and urging the
sooner or later be discussed and settled,
it is far better that this shall be done
promptly SOFAS to avert the further
sacrifice of valuable property and
precious lives.
"That the congress forward an adj
dress to each Of the signatory powers
of The Hague convention other than
Russia and Japan, reminding them Of
the article 81 of the convention and
urging them in accordance Herewith
to press upon the governments Of Rus
STA and Japan the Importance of put
ting an end without further delay to
war which affects humanity, hinders
legitimate commerce and impedes the
progress of the world in the pathway
of civilization and peace.'
The resolutions were adopted after
a long discussion.

STEEL FOR JAPAN
IS HURRIED WEST
Hundreds of Tons Are Being
Shipped Thru Minnesota
$50 Transfer. ~---.---- ~.
Shipments Consist of Heavy
Plates Suitable for Building
Torpedo Boats.

Are articles that are contraband of
war passing thru Minneapolis each day
on the way to Japans
This is a question that railroad men
have been asking since large quantities
of steel plate began coming thru on the
way to the Pacific coast consigned to
ing mills in Japan. I The steel is diff
ferent from any that ever passed thru
the. city in time of peace. It ism It
boiler plate, and there is strong sus-
.picion that it is to be used by the
Japanese government as war material. "
The steel that has caused all this ex-
citement consists Of plates about three
feet wide and from six to twelve feet
one-half inch to one-and-one-ha inches.
In addition to, the plate steel, several
car loads OF angle steel have also passed
thru. -.e
Just what this steel is intended for is
purely matter of conjecture. 1t is
a battleship, but it is said to be just the
kind Of steel that is used for torpedo
boats. The success with which the Japs
have used torpedoboats and the fact
that several Of them have been de-
stroyed, strengthens the belief that the
steel is to be used in building this class
OF Russ annoyers.
Liz IuOV VI oGCc1 SGdI Gcu dUOuG
sixty days ago and in that time over
a hundred carloads have passed thru the
Minnesota Transfer. The steel comes
in lots Of six or seven cars, and is
shifted to other cars at the Transfer and
hurried on to the Pacific coast to be re.
shipped to Japan. Since the movement
started the hosting derrick, used for
transferring the steel from one car to
another, has been working night. and
day, but despite this extra effort, over
fifty cars are now in the Transfer
awaiting their turn at the derrick.
While it is likely that the steel is ia
be used in the construction Of torpedo.
boats, or possibly in the "skin - of
cruisers, yet the Russian government
would have hard time in declaring il
contraband of war At present, the
steel is nothing more than, harmless
looking p1ates. But is the Russian gov
eminent were to intercept shipment OF
! the steel on the high seas she would
lIyhave to prove that lit was to be used
/ for implements Of war and not for arti
| c1es Of peace before the steel could BIZ
declared contraband.
While the various railroad oompanie,
handling the steel may be aiding the
japanese government in replenishine
| her navy, they are doing nothing that
| might be said to be unfriendly to Rus
STA. They have the right to transfer
anything, even if it is contraband Of
war, within the limits of the United
States and it is not their affair what
! becomes Of this steel after it reaches
the Pacific coast and is delivered to the
| consignee. a.* >. =. 49,. SO
