OF Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis, July 18- SPECIAL
Charles Y. Peterson, Justice OF the
Peace for Oconto Co., has delivered a
Judgment that is Of interest to the
whole United States. Put briefly, that
Judgment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills ale
the best Kidney medicine on the
market today"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this Judgment. He says: "Last
winter l had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
In the morning could hardly straight
en- my back. 1 did not know what it
was but an advertisement led me to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking one
box I can only say they have done moro
for me than expected as l feel as well
now as ever l did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may
develop into Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes, Rheumatism or some of the
other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.

One More Crash to Come.

"a travelling man stopped at hotel
at Monticello. The proprietor told him
he could not lodge him-not room IN

"The travelling man protested. He
must have a room. Finally the proprie"

room separated by a thin partition
from a nervous man who had lived in
the house for ten years.
"'He is SO nervous said the land
lord, I don't dare put anyone in that
room. The least noise might give him
nervous spell that would endanger
his life.'
"'Oh, give me room,' said the trav-

Thinks Soap Injurious.

An English writer asserts that the
English people have greatly deterior.
ated physically because of the too fire.
Quent use of soap. The English he
says are too clean. The Creator gave
us natural oil to protect the skin and
make it supple, and we pass our time
removing this oil with soap. In con-
sequence, we are more vulnerable to
colds, to rheumatism, and to all sorts
Of disease. Soap opens the pores Of
the skin, and disease enters with ease.

Russia's Awakening.

In Russia it is the government only
that sleeps. The people are awake
and astir, says the author of Greater
Russia" They are making new de-
mands and feeling a new freedom
which is apparent every day in the
absence Of the former rigid repres-
sion, and in the frequent indulgence in
license that is miscalled liberty.
One will sometimes see on the pal
ace quay at St. Petersburg a line Of
people waiting for the steamer to take
them to the islands. Along comes
some high official who, instead Of
awaiting his turn, drives to the head
Of the line and crowds in ahead of
the Others. Formerly such an occur
renee would have been received in
silence as a matter of course, but now
the people hiss and denounce the Off
cial, and police do not interfere.
If street car is delayed for a con-
nection at some transfer station, the
passengers often become riotous and
demand their fare back, or begin to
pound Oh lll6 uOOl duu even UINdk
windows until the police make the
driver go ahead without waiting for
the other car; and he is not allowed
to stop again until he reaches his
destination.
If an officer demonstrates with g
street car conductor for lack Of cour
tesy to passenger the crowd will a
once interfere, and even the offended
passenger turns on him. The Officer
is told to give his orders to soldiers
who have to obey, not to free mel
who do not, and not to interfere be
tween men who are as good as he is
These are tritling things in them
selves, says the traveller, but to en-,
who has long known Russia they ar,
startling signs Of a new spirit o
freedom.

Fifty Men and One Elephant.

Interesting tests were made re-
Gently in the Madison Square Garden,
New York, to determine the respective
pulling power Of horses, men and ele-
plants. Two horses, weighing 1000
pounds each, together pulled 3,7OO
pounds, or $50 pounds more than their
combined weight One elephant, weigh
ing 10000 pounds, pulled $3.50 pounds,
or $3.50 pounds less than his weight
Fifty men, aggregating about $500
pounds in weight, pulled $3.50 pounds,
or just as much as the single elephant.
But like the horses, they pulled more
than their own weight. One hundred
men pulled 10000 pounds.

one of their dear daughters, Bertha.
God, in His great wisdom and love for
us, does all things well, but grief tears

one into the keeping of Death. Not
only the family is saddened, but every
heart and home in the community is
sadder this morning.
She was sweet, cheerful girl, scat

brighter everywhere she went. How we
shall miss her! Farewell, dear Bert;

there our voices will be immortalized
and with the angels and blood-washed
throng we will sing eternally.

In Memoriam.

Died, at the home OF her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. John Dees, near Carterville,
Mrs. Ludie Stubs, aged 20 years, 8
months and % days.
At an early age Loudie became a
member of the Baptist Church. She
was a thoughtful, cheerful, CONSTANT
woman whose gentle life spoke volumes
Of Christianity.
She is done with this life of sin and
suffering and has gone to dwell with her
Maker in purer, brighter land where
there will be no more pain, no sin, but
peace and happiness.
She leaves father, mother, four sis
tiers, one brother, loving husband and
a sweet little boy.
1t seems hard indeed for the loved
ones, but they have consolation in know
ing that Loudie was good girl.
doubt not if they could see her now that
they would call her back. Weep not for
her, but prepare to meet her in a
brighter land than this, where she is
watching and waiting for you.
Through all pain at times she'd smile
A smile or heavenly birth;
And when the angels called her home
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams long to inger
Where our sainted Loudie sleeps.

Mr.. J. P. Clifford reports that he has
just finished boring a well on Sheriff
Thompson's place, in Caddo parish, and
that an excellent flow of good soft water
was obtained. The well is $50 feet deep
and twenty barrels per hour can be
pumped from it. The water rises to
within thirteen feet of the top. A log
was struck at a depth of 100 feet, which
indicates that the soil there is "made."
At depth of about $50 feet rock, hard
clay, ETC., were struck and which lasted
to nearly the full depth of the we'll.
There are but few artesian wells in Red
River bottoms, so said, and it would no
doubt be well for others to seek a supply
of good water in this way. Nothing
does more to promote sickness than i'm

as to the benefits of having an mex
haustible supply of the best water OBJ
