BREAK FIRST-DAY RECORD.
First Day Is Devoted to Organization
Of Glasses and Asst gnment of Los
sons-Rosedale and Sidney Pratt
Buildings Not Ready for Use
Everything Starts Well.

Graded schools and high schools in
Minneapolis were open today for the
first session of the school year, and
about 10000 pupils began work. There
were no bitches in the plans of the
board, and from all the schools came
reports of successful opening day.
Attic registration on the first day of
the school year is always light, and in
every school in the city an accurate
idea of the, probable attendance can be
obtained, there was marked increase
in the attendance over last year.
Two schools, the Rosedale, which was
destroyed by fire Saturday night, and
the Sidney Pratt, which is not yet
ready. for: occupancy, did not open this
morning, and at the Lake Harriet
schoolhouse only part of the rooms were
open. Work on the new Rosedale, Sid
ney, Pratt and Lake Harriet school is
rapidly progressing and. according to
DR.. Jordan, the schools in every school
house in the city will be running full
capacity at the end of two weeks.
Short sessions were the order of the
day at all Minneapolis schools. The
pupils were. classified and enrolled,
textbooks were designated and lessons
for tmorrow assigned. In the high
schools the morning was spent in as
signing pupils to the different rooms
and classes, and in outlining the work

: R. F. Jones has unfurled two Ameris
can eagles to the breeze, surrounding
two American flags flying on his farm
at Sixteenth street and Hennepin ave
nue.* Standing as they do in~dignifed
silence i. is hard to distinguish them
from stuffed birds. = j..

TIC pavilions which stand on either side
Of the entrance to the jones' home.
They are chained by the legs to the
roosts. and occasionally try their pinions
in vain.
The process of placing the eagles
Sunday morning was tedious. The birds
were brought to the farm confined in
bushel baskets and the 'fetters had to be
attached cautiously before they were
released. After MrpJones had tied the
eagles he overturned the baskets and
then retreated hastily to his ladder.
The move was strategic, because the
eagles showed their contempt for their
captor by savage attempts at him with
their talons, beaks and wings.

GAINED "a POUNDS
PERSISTENT ANEMIA CURED BY
DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS,
Doctor Recommended Them AfteS
Other Remedies Failed and
Patient Recovered


Patient Recovered.
When began taking Dr. Williams
Pink Pills." says Mrs. Nathaniel Field,
Of St. Adams, Somerset county, Maine,
II was the palest, most bloodless person
you could imagine. Ny tongue and
gums were colorless and my fingers and
ears were like wax. I had two doctors
and they pronounced my trouble an@mia.
I think the disease had been coming on
for three years. Twas in bed most of tho
time for two months, July and August,
1905, only sitting up to have my bedmada
and to rest my back. Ihad spells of vom.
iting, could not eat, in fact, did not dare
to, had such distress after eating. NV
stomach was filed with gas which caused
me awful agony.
"The backache I suffered was at timea
almost unbearable and the least exertion
made my heart beat so fast that I could
hardly breathe. But the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never left me for seven weeks.
"About the last of August DR.. Will.
liams' Pink Pills were recommended to
me by DR.. J. H. Murphy, of Dexter, Me-,
and gave them a trial. About this
time had had several numb spells. My
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
Nothing had helped me until began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills. in fact,
had grown worse every day. After I
had taken the pills short time I could
see that they were benefiting me and
one morning awolze entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap-
peared and III three weeks / could eat
any thing wanted and suffer no incon-
venience. I also slept soundly. I have
taken several boxes of the pills and have
gained i'll weight from 120 to 154 pounds
and am perfectly we'll now"
r DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure anamia
and all aDamic conditions because they
actually make new blood. For rheuma-
tism, indigestion, nervous headaches,
many forms of weakness and debility
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are recom-i
mended even if ordinary remedies have
been tried without relief.
These pills are sold by all druggists, or
will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price,
80 cents per box, six boxes for So. SO, by

WIRES AT WEST HOTEL
START A FIRE SCARE


A small blaze in the kitchen on the
second floor of the West hotel caused
some apprehension in the building
shortly after 2 am. today.
The fire was discovered by a bell
boy, who Immediately turned in an
alarm and aroused the guests.
For few minutes everything was
excitement and guests thronged the cor
ical apparatus was sufficient to extin-
guish the fire, and there was no danger
Of the fire spreading at any time. "
call was sent to police headquar-
tiers for detectives. Several men were
sent to prevent a jam in the halls.
There was no damage, either by fire
or water. The cause of the fire was
wire trouble on a switchboard between
kitchen and dining room. There was
no peril Of the fire spreading. Smoke
made all the trouble.

these small troubles that lead to
dropsy, diabetes and Bright disease.
If there is any doubt in your mind that
the kidneys are affected, notice the
urine for few days. If passages are
irregular, painful, or too scanty, dis
colored, or full of sediment, the kid
neys need help right away, and there
is no other medicine more helpful than
Doan's Kidney Pills, simple remedy
for the kidneys, yet SO powerful that
it quickly cures the cause and so ends
all the painful and annoying symptoms.
Home testimony proves the unfailing
merit of Doan 8 Kidney Pills.
Minneapolis Testimony. "
Mrs. J. F. Coates, of 1912 Tenth
avenue S, Minneapolis, Mimi, says:
~ II have fully as. much. faith in
five years ago when I gave a state
ment for publication recommending
them. - In spite Of other treatments I
used and claims made by doctors I
failed to find relief from kidney diff
fculty that was aggravated by every
cold that settled in my back and caused
much pain. and soreness. At this time
Doan s Kidney Pills were brought to
my notice and I procured them at Voc
gei Bros drug store. Their use
brought both prompt and effectual re-
lief and in time banished the entire
trouble, ~
