The MONTHLY TRIAL
HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, BEARING
DOWN PAINS.
A Woman Tells How She Has Become Wen
and Strong after Years of Misery
Due to Irregular Functions.

"A Woman Tells How She Has Become ven
and Strong after Years of Misery
Due to Irregular Functions
The fact that one woman is bright
eyed, rosy-cheeked, strong and cheerful,
while another is pale, weak and de-
pressed, is due more often than other
wise to the regularity in the one case
and the irregularity in the other of the
functions that are peculiar to the sex.
When these are disturbed everything
goes wrong; pain and discomfort are
felt all over the body; the sensations are
often terrifying.
For four years" said Mrs. Davis re-

Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 3.-(SpeciaD
That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond doubt by Mrs.
Betsey A Clawson, well known here.
That Mrs. Clawson had rheumatism
and had it bad, all her acquaintance
know. They also know she is now
cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it.
Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her
cure as follows:
ct was an invalid for most five years
caused by Inf1ammatory rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
first year I could not do as much as a
baby could do, then 1 rallied a little
bit and then a relapse. Then a year
ago the govt set in my hands and feet
1 suffered untold agony and in Au-
gust, 1903, when my husband died
could not ride to the grave.
81 only took two boxes Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks / could
wait on myself and saw my own wood
I dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodds Kid
nelly Pills cured me-
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.

History of a Constellation.

When Jonah awoke he was surprised

have a stock on hand of other brands
containing only IL OF in a package,
which they won't be able to sell first.

Do you want 16 OF. instead or IL OF.

Memorial Day Observations.

We strew with the reddest roses and
with wreaths of purest white
The mounds within whose portals are
but halos, golden bright
AS if such blooms were needed to per-
petuate the sheen.
AS if external blossoms must preserve
their memories green!
Then while we lay our roses on the
mounds of barren clay,
Where years ago with barren hearts
we put their forms away,
They stand amidst the winnings of
angelic vines and flowers
Surrounding heavens garden, drop
ping petals down to ours.
These hearts are near to breaking as
we view their sombre grave.
Instead, If we could see them as they
call to US and wave
With smile of jubilation, we would
know that we, not they,
Deserving are of sympathy on this
Memorial Day.

Profits of The Packers.

There has been a great deal of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent of the volume of
business transacted. There is no
doubt, however, that the report is cor
rect
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust" began,
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on
a smaller margin of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin of profit of 81 flour and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year. was nearly seven per cent on
the volume of business. The gross
margin of f1fty-one wholesale slaugh-
tering and meat packing establish
ments in Illinois was only about one
third as large, or a little more than
two per cent on the volume of bust
ness.
The millers have not been accused
of being in a trust" and combina-
tons would seem impossible in a bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the -four trade, but it ap-
pears that the gross profits of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits
of the packers. 1t may turn out that
the agitation regarding the packing
industry will show the same result as
the devil found in shearing the pig:

And wilfully tell him he lies

arise.

DEAL IS CLOSED UP
Northwestern Railway Company
Purchases 800 Acres for a
Big Terminal Station
WORK is TO START AT ONCE

The deal has been closed for the
building of terminal switching yard
of the Northwestern Railway company
at the Ranney crossing, in the town
of Pleasant Prairie, and work will be
started at once to install the tracks.
The company has purchased 300 acres
Of land, the greater portion being Sc
cured from the Rogers estate. The
price paid for the land is not stated,
but it is said to have been in the
neighborhood of 500 an acre. The
company is planning to bring al of
the terminal switching from Chicago
to Ranney, and within the next six
months, it is claimed, that the popu1a-
ton of Ranney will be increased
several hundred and possibly a thou
sand people. The company has made
contract for the building of more
than sixty miles of track at Ranney,
and all of this trackage will be used
for the storing of cars for terminal
transfer. It is claimed that the COM
pany has thousands Of cars now
stored on property in Chicago which
will be utilized for other purposes,
and all of the transfer business will be
switched to Ranney. One Of the con-
tractors for the work stated a few
days ago that it would take two or
three years to cofhp1ete the work that
has been planned BY the company for
the installation of the new yards. 1t
is said that the company will expend
more than a half million dollars ir
completing the work.
The announcement that the deal
has been closed up has had immedi-
ate effect upon the property values in
and about Ranney, and farmers own
ing property there are expecting a
great boom.

Charles Merrill and Miss lilly
Hagen From Chippewa Falls,
Found at TruesdelI.
SERIOUS CRIME is CHARGED.
Husband Declares That He Thought a
Former Wife Had Died.-Gir1 but
Fourteen Years of Age Weeps
When She Tells Story.

Living IN a little shack on the
Rogers farm in the town Of Pleasant
Prairie, with scarce food enough to
keep body and soul together Lilly
Hagen fourteen year old girl and
Charles Merrill aged thirty-three
years we're arrested by Sheriff Lund,
of Chippewa Falls Monday. The
man in the case is charged with elop-
ing with the young girl and it is al
legged that they have been living on
the Rogers farm since Memorial day.
It is alleged by Sheriff Lund that
Merrill has a wife at Chippewa Falls
but Merrill claims that he was of the
opinion that his former wife was dead.
He declared that he had not married
the Hagen girl but that they had
agreed to be married in the fall if
they could get along together.
The young girl in the case sat at
the county jail weeping as if her
heart would break. She stated that
she had left her home at Chippewa
Falls IN order to be with Merrill and
that they had planned to marry later
in the year. She said that her father
had been unkind to her and had
driven her. from home but that Merrill
had cared for her long time and that
he had been so attentive to her that
she finally decided to e1ope with him
and come to Kenosha. Merrill had
secured employment at Ranney on
the North Western road and he
claimed that he would have been
able to support the little girl as soon
as he had paid back the money bor-
rowed to pay transportation to Keno
sl1a.
Merrill admitted that he had been
married but declared that he had not
lived with his wife for some time.
The Sheriff declares that Merrill
knew full well that his wife was not
dead and that he had run away with
the little Hagen girl to avoid being
forced to support his legal wife.
When Sheriff Veitch and Sheriff
Lund drove to the Rogers farm this
morning Merrill had not as yet started
out for his work for the day. He
made no objections to accompanying
the officers to this city but later OBJ
jected strenuously to returning to
Chippewa Falls. The young woman
who had her dream of love roughly
broken made no fight against the of
hcers and went back to her former
home without a rr1urm11r
