For GROWING Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, April "a
Mrs. A. l.. Smith, of this place, says
that Dodds Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by
the following experience:
"My daughter Was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and
would then pass off. In a month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites OF
her eyes would be yellow.
"The doctors gave us no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course. we continued the
treatment unlil she had used in all
about a dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally when she is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice OF
Mrs. Smith, for by SO doing, they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure a healthy, happy
future for them.

! STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
PLANS FOR THE CAPITOL.
Commi Missioner Will Secure Estimates
on Artesian Well,


on Artesian Well.
| One of the first moves made by the
| capitol commission was to instruct the
| secretary of the commission to Sc.
cure estimates en- the cost of sinking
an artesian well on the grounds. This
would be sunk for the double purpose
Of securing water for the trees. shrub
berry and lawns, and gas for lighting
the building, and any power which
might be desired. The wells at Pierre
all carry sufficient gas to make them
profitable for that alone, even if no
use is made of the water. The com.
mission will not attempt anything fur
ther until they return from their trip
to Helena, Mont, to look over the cap
itol OF that state, that building having
been selected as one which the lines
of the building in this state will prob
ably follow, and which can be erected
within the cost limit in this state. The
commission went over the grounds to
decide upon what spot to place the
building, and discussed arrangements
of the grounds. If it is decided to
sink the Well the probabilities are that
the plan OF arrangements of grounds
will include lagoon along the north
side of the tract, which can be arrang-
ed by masonry dam near the eastern
end of the grounds, and the lagoon
flooded from the well.
When the census of school children
is taken in this state this year for the
purpose of apportioning the interest
and income from the state school fund,
a compliance with one of the laws of
last session, II. Bill 124, will show a
reduction in the number of pupils re-
ported in several counties. The pro-
visions of this bill cuts from such emu
meration any pupils who attend the
model schools at the state normals, or
at any other state school. The the
ory of the bill is that when the state
is paying for the education of these
children and the community in which
they live is relieved from local taxa
ton for their schooling, that communi-
state school fund additional means for
their education. By enumerating such
children the community in which they
live secures larger per capita of the
state fund on the pupils in actual at
tendance at their schools than do
those who are not favored by the
state schools, and the local expense of
education is reduced in both ways.
Outside of the state schools the law
will apply in other cases. In one town
in the state where an orphans home is
located, the children at the home have
all along been enumerated when the
census was taken, but were not allow
ed TO attend the school which drew
state funds on account of their mum
hers, the school board of the town go
ing SO far as to secure court opinion
to the effect that the town could not
be legally compelled TO admit such
children to the schools, but the emu
meration went on. Other eases are
just as glarng, and the census returns
will be watched this year.

SAW MURDERER OF oEsHARor
Sensational Inform alton Is Given to
County ATTORNEY at Mankato,

| Mankato, Mimi, April 25. = Sensa-
! ional information relating to the MUIR
der of DR.. Louis A. Gebhardt at New
| Ulm was given to County Attorney
S. B. Wilson of Mankato last night in
the statement of a farmer living near
| this city who says he witnessed the
flight of the murderer as he slid down
the wires leading from the window in
the rear of DR.. Gebhardt's office to the
ground.
This mans name is Grusek, but
County Attorney Wilson. who is as
sisting Gen. Childs in the prosecution,
would not disclose his full name, his
whereabouts or the entire statement.
Saw the Murderer.
"This man says he was visiting
New Ulm on the night of the murder
Of DR.. Gebhardt," said County attor-
ney WILSON, He says he saw the
murderer, or the man he thought to
be the murderer, descending the wires
in the rear Of Gebhardts Office. More
than that | do not care to say, as
am not in charge of the prosecution,
DuJ only dSSfStluS IN IL.
Attorney Wilson was questioned
closely about the strange man and his
startling statement, but would give
no further information. referring the
questioner to Gen. Childs.
Did He Know Him?
"Did the man say he recognized the
man descending the wires?" was
asked of Attorney Wilson.
81 would not care to say as to that"
did he connect Dir. Koch with his
statement?'
81 am not in position to speak
about that
Gen Childs was questioned about
the information, but said that he con-
sidered the statement lightly and that
unless County Attorney Wilson is
aware of facts which he did not yet
know the man would not be intro
duced as a witness.
The Other Side.
When the attorneys for DR.. Koch
were asked if they knew Of Grusek
and his unexpected information they
said they had no fear for their side
from any such witness.
eff this man made such a statement
you may depend on it he will be no
good to the state" said an attorney
for the defense. Even if he did see
the murderer descend the wires in the
rear of the dental office of DR.. Geb-
hardt at New Ulm he did not see Dr.
Koch do that"
Whether this mans evidence will be
considered in court remains to be
learned, but it is certain that even if
the state intends to bring him in that
fact and the real nature of his testi-
mony will be kept a secret as far as
ness.

A maximum assessment of $12 is pac-
ed on lands and minimu mof Sc; the
state board recommended $3.50. AS
sessment values on horses, cattle,
hogs, sheep, mules and asses, house
hold goods, ETC., were reduced mate
rally.
The general belief here is that the
taxpayers will gain nothing By dev!at-
ing from the recommendations Of the
state board, which were made in the
hope of getting somewhere near COM
olete assessment. No matter what re-
turns the assessors make, the state
board is bound to have its own way in
the premises. 1t can raise or lower
each county. Consequently it would
be far better to abode by its request@n
the first place than to be compelled to
do it afterwards.
In one way the action of the asses
sors of Clay county will work an in
justice of the taxpayers. Those who
are now assessed at almost their full
valuation will have to stand any pos
sible raise that the state board may
make in order to equalZe taxes.
