FRATERNAl SOCIETIESPICNIC
Minnesota Lake Organizations Hold {

From Friday's Daily

Minnesota Lake Organizations Hold a
Joint Outing on Thursday.
From Fridays Daily.
Last Thursday was gala day for
Minnesota Lake and the citizens laid
aside their business cares and joined
with the Fraternal Societies in picnic.
Promptly at 10 a. m. the procession of
floats headed by the Eagle band left for
the picnic grounds. In the parade were
seen some. very handsomely decorated
floats. Perhaps the most attention was
centered on the fire apparatus, hook and
ladder truck and hose carts, drawn by
Geo. M. Kremer's splendid white team.
The Old Veterans and S. V. were out in
line with guns. The Ladies' Aid society
had neatly decorated wagon, the Royal
Neighbors' floats was very neat and
pretty, while the Degree of Honor had
the prettiest and showiest wagon.
The Odd Fellows had a good repre-
sentation of sick man with a trained
uuIoc uuutI Tile IuIOS lIlLHCHoC lluho,
while the A. o. U. W. had representa-
tive paying out the actual cash $4,000 in
800 bills to widow and children. An
immense log drawn on heavy wagon and
driven by three uniformed Woodmen
Foresters, decorated on one side M. W..
A. One Million Strong, and on the other
M w. A. 4 assessments in 1904, rep
resented the Woodmen The old fellow
who had paid out all his money for old
line insurance came to join the parade
and was one of the best features.
After arriving at the grounds a good
program was rendered, and an interest
ing speech delivered by Rev. E. G. Glenn
ems listened to. In the afternoon horse
races, ball game, and minor sports enter
tanned the crowd, and a bowery kept the
light footed ones busy till daybreak. Had
this not come in the busiest part of the
year the crowd would have been much
bigger. The day was perfect, and such
picnic should by all means be arrang-
ed for every Minnesota Lake Tri-

BAT TLESH|P IOWA
ONE RESULT OF HER ACTIVITY
IN THE SPANISH WAR.
An Experience of One of Bob Evans
Marine Engineers-A Direct Legacy
of the Days Of Action.


of the Days of Action.
The part played by the u. S. battle
ship Iowa at Santiago and elsewhere in
West Indian waters during the Spanish
war, is well known. People, however,
hardly dream Of some Of the efar-reaching
consequences of the discipline which
had then to be maintained.
One of the brave men aboard the Iowa
bore about with him for several years a
very unpleasant reminder of his service
on that famous ship. This man is Mr..
George e. Parquette, now residing at
S346 Sixth avenue, Troy, N Y. who was a
marine engineer on the Iowa when, un-
der command of Captain Bob Evans, she
was performing brilliant exploits in bat
tleand in misunderstanding in Cuban and
Porto Rican waters. Of those stirring
times Mr.. Parquette says:
Whenever we We're expecting an en-
gagement our meals Were very uncer-
tain, and, when we did eat, we had to
be minute men. The constant anxiety
and haste affected my stomach and put
1t LII very bad condition which lasted
for four years notwithstanding the fact
that l was under doctors care.
could scarcely keep anything on my
stomach and I suffered greatly from
steady pains in the lower part of it. My
appetite, too, was very poor and for four
months | was in bed.
Other troubles developed I had
severe headaches, and at times I felt as
if something was clutching at my heart.
My blood got out of order and I had
fever and coughing spells. My stomach
finally became SO bad that I do not
think it could possibly have been worse
when, in the fall of 1908, first heard of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
and began the course of treatment which
gave me surprising relief at once and
finally cured me-
DR.. Williams Pink Pills agree with
the most delicate stomach and create an
appetite. They put the stomach in a
condition to digest the food and insure
its proper assimilation. They expel poi
sons from the blood and they rapidly
build up weakened constitutions and
give new vitality to ooverwrought nerves.
They are sold by all druggists through
out the world.

Skin Game That Is Being Worked

Skin Game That Is Being Worked
Through Rice County.
From Fridays Daily.
A game which unscrupulous grafters
are working in this part of the state
will probably be tried in Rice county
shortly unless the robbers are overtaken
with such advertising as this is intended
to be and change their proposed route.
The graft is simple one and is not hard
to manage. The representatives make
a tour through the country going to the
farmers house with their product. The
farmers order $4 or S. worth of the fake
patent remedies and is asked to sign a
contract before they are sent to him. The
farmers circumstances have been pre-
viously investigated so that he is known
to be responsible. A short time after
wards the remedies come express prepaid.
But the farmer finds there are more
than ordered. He looks at his contract,
figures up the items which are listed by
the dozen IN small print, without the
figures being carried out He is surpris-
ed to find that it amounts to consider
able over $100. Soon there comes a no.
tice that the contract is about due and
requesting payment. Then comes man
along and serves an original notice, sum-
moning the victim to appear when the
contract is made payable and defend.
In many cases the farmer settles with
the one who serves the notice, usually
paying $75 and shipping goods gack pre-
paid, disgusted with the deal. Some
times he stands trial and appeals from
justice court in which the suit is start
ed. But only in a few of these cases
does the victim have good defense

many brave Johnnie and more than
one Union soldier had taken their long

spot where two graves We're equally

underneath the sod were two uniforms,

each.
