UNKNOWN MAN
FOUND DEAD
Had Been Seen About Town
But Did Not Tell His N
Name.

The body Of an unknown man was
found in the hay NOV Of G. A. Riddles
livery barn this morning by one Of
the barn hands S. S. Williams. The
man was apparently between 80 and
40 years Of age and there were no
papers by which to identify him. In
one pocket was a small note book
with the name J.. G. Redding written
but it is not thought to be the mans
name. He had So. 10 in silver, cheap
watch and pocket knife. The body
was removed to Frazees' undertaking
rooms and will not be buried until
tomorrow. In the mean time an effort
will be made to identify him.
The deceased had been about the
barn yesterday and complained of
having a chill and remarked TO one of
the men before goiug up into the hay
loft that he was going up and take
some medicine and lie down.
The body has since been identified
as that Of a man by the name Of
Reding, who has worked about the
country for the past year. He had
kept batch in a cabin on the Jas.
Webb farm near the South Cabin
bridge.

FISH TO COME HIGH.
Cured Fish Are Scarce and Prices
Jump Upward.

From Tuesdays Daily.
All sorts of cured fish will be high
this year, according to the reports of the
Commercial Bulletin The catches of the
present year have been very light and
as a result prices will jump from 10 70
so per cent. Mackerel are scarce, es-
pecially the Irish and American, which
are the cheaper varieties. The Norway
mackerel catch is better than COR sew
eral years, but will hardly overcome the
shortage of other varieties.
Herring are scarce and VIII also be
high in price. The Alaska catch is about
to start and may afford some relief.
Stock fish, which are a staple article
among the Scandinavians of the north
west, are so scarce that many firms Will
not try to stock with them. The prices
will be clean so per cent higher than
last year.

CAS.kAFOR PlMPLES

1t only takes one week to show what
Cas-ka is for pimples on your face. If
you can't come twice a day to try Cas-
Ka free we will sell you one of the 81
bottles for 30 cents and if you don't
see those pimples leaving your face in
one week, bring back the bottle and get
your money. Now, when you see those
pimples going away in one week, what
will keep the medicine from curing those
catarrhal sores in the head that causes
that dropping into the throat. Start to-
day and try Cas-ka a week free. The
medicine will tell its own story. CAS-
kA is on sale at A. G. Lack & Co.
Mail orders will receive prompt atten-
ton.
If you ask A. G. Lack & Co. they
will tell you that they never had a
medicine come to their store better rec
commended than Cas-Ka as some of our
references are druggists who are mem
bers of the State Board of Pharmacy of
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois.

ONE CATE BACK.

Do you know that the secret of sue
cess with Cas-Ka is its action on the
Kidneys? Some people say, well that
Cas-Ka is a good physic anyhow.
Do you suppose that you would see
hundreds of people paying 35c a bottle
for CasKa if it was only good for the
bowels? You can get Zoe worth of salts
and make six bottles of physic If that
is all you want and those people that
have been relieved of Indigestion, dysr
pepsia and kidney troubles. If you ask
your family doctor he will tell you that
you cannot relieve a persons rheuma-
tism, kidney or stomach by physicing
them. You ask any doctor who has
watched the action of Cas-Ka and if he
tells you what he knows about Cas-Ka,
it will be in Cas-Ka's favor. Come to the
drug stores and talk with some of the
people that are trying the medicine and
you will find that nearly every person
that has taken it ten days will recon-
mend it. The only people that try to run
Cas-Ka down are those that have never
taken any of it. We have sold in the
past month Cas-ka to 1000 people, and
only one person has asked for money
back and he got it. and you certainly
would not see anybody buying this medi-
cine now after we have been here four
weeks giving this medicine to from 100
to 200 people every day, if it were not
fact that it does relieve rheumatism
and catarrh.
What object could we have in staying
here eight weeks and giving you the
medicine twice day free of charge, if
we did not know it would benft you?
We don't expect to cure everybody III
eight weeks, but we will convince you
that we have a blood medicine that is
worth 81 bottle.
If you are situated so you can't come
twice day to try CasKa free, you can
get one of the 81 bottles for 80 cents
or three for 81, and if in ten days you
don't notice any benefit for Catarrh or
rheumatism. take the bottles back and
get your money. You can use part or
the entire bottle as test. Now you
don't have to spend even the 80 cents
| to find if this is true, as you can come
twice day and try it free until No
| vember 18th. Cas-Ka does these things
by making the blood pure and any case
of catarrh where they have dull pain
between the eyes, or that clogging up OF
phlegm in the throat we give money
back for any case it does not relieve.

EXTENDING A FORTUNE.
Omaha's improvements on the Road
bed at Minneopa and Elsewhere.

From Tuesdays Daily
The Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Omaha Railway company is spend
ing a large amount of money in the i'm
provement OF the roadbed and straight
ening out the track at different points
along the st. Paul and Sioux City divis-
ion.
During the summer the track from
st. Paul to Worthington was ballasted
with the finest quality of gravel, and
this has improved the roadbed material
ly. A cut off will be built between OF
tawa and st. Peter This will shorten
the distance between the two towns two
and three-quarters miles. The improve
ment at this point will cost $l50,000
Winston Bros. company of Minneap-
oils will do the grading. The new road
bed will avoid the big curve between
Ottawa and st. Peter.
Between Mankato and Lake Crystal
the Omaha is spending small fortune
in Strengthening out the track. Several
very sharp curves will be avoided on
both sides of South Bend. Two miles
west of this city the Winston Bros. will
construct new siXty-foot iron bridge
with stone abuttments, and for the next
half mile the company will quarry
through ledge of solid rock for the
new roadbed. James Egan of st. Paul,
sub contractor, will strip the ledge
at cost of 900 and Winston Bros.
will quarry the rock at cost of $780,
900. A gigantic stone culvert, which
will cost $4,000, is being constructed
over Minneopa creek, not far from the
falls and five miles west of Mankato.
James Mcclure of st. Paul has the sub
contract for this work. The culvert
is being built of Mankato stone. At
ter the culvert is finished 100000 yards
of earth will be required to fill up the
gulch This will be done at cost of
$4,000. This part of the contract will
be carried out early in the spring.
Thomas Brogan of st. Paul is reduc-
ing a big hill half mile west of Min
neopa Something like 100000 yards of
earth will be removed and cut 900
feet in length and 100 in depth will be
the result. The cut will be eighty feet
wide. About $4,000 will be expended on
this job.
The Omaha is also doing some work
on the line between st. James and
Worthington, Strengthening out the
track and making other improvements.
