we are I'm honor bound to join with the
state in carr ng out the declaration OF

Omaha has far more important things
at stake in the other planks of our plat

primary law and terminal taxation will
do Omaha more good than any United
States senator. The very interests that
opposed my nomination are opposed &c

W LLIAMS MAY BE BUSTED
Labor Commissioner u Not Likely To
Hold His Job.

Prom Tuesdays Dailv
1t is probable that there may be a
change i'm the head of the state de-
partment of labor, says The st. Paul
Dispatch. The gossips were busy today
with the story that w. w. Williams,
the present labor commissioner, intend
ed to resign, but there was nothing to
verify the rumor.
1t can be said that Commissioner
Williams and the present democratic
state administration have not been the
closest of friends for some months.
Some members of the governors cabinet
are opposed to him. His candidacy for
the democratic nomination for mayor of
Minneapolis caused the break, he taking
the step in opposition to them. Then
John Lind, too, whom Williams on more
than one occasion has openly denounced
as a corporation democrat, has always
opposed him. At any rate Williams
thinks so.
Labor Commissioner Williams was a
silent quantity during the late cam
paign, and the fact was much comment
ed upon, but this has since been eX-
planned by the fact that he has been
sick and confined to his home much of
the time. Should he resign as rumored,
E. ]. Lynch, the present deputy com
missioner, and w. E. McEwan of Du-
luth are spoken in connection with the
vacancy.

90. All authorities agree that fourteen
elements are needed in the human body
to sustain perfect health and that
these must be supplied in the food
taken into the system. Nature has
provided us with one single article of
food containing all of these fourteen
elements in the exact proportions ne
cessary to supply our bodies with vi
tality. strength and heat. This food,
so wonderful in it's composition. is
wheat and intelligent men and women
are coming to realize more and more
that in the whole Of the wheat is found
the secret of health and happiness.
Rich in the nitrates, or muscle-mak-
ing elements, the carbonates, or heat
producing elements, and the phos-
pilates. or brain and nerve-making
elements. the whole grain of wheat
supplies every necessity for mans body
and mind.

TRAIN LOAD OF ONIONS.
Good Thunder Becoming a Strong
Shipping Point.

SUupPtUS FOints
Frorn FRIDAYS Dailv
Editor Hotaling in his paper, The En-
terprise, says that while enroute home
from Mankato last Friday night we
made short stop at Good Thunder and
having nose for news could not help
smelling the fact that they we've load
ing an unusual amount of onions at our
neighboring village. In fact we are safe
in saying that an entire train load of
that vegetable will be shipped from that
one station alone. Wagon after wagon
load are daily marketed and on Friday
last four carloads went out. They are
shipped to southern points, Kansas City,
st. Joseph, st. Louis and New Orleans.
The onions from the north are given the
preference on account of the fact that
they are solid and much better keepers.
Many of them are distributed from these
centers to be used by the navigation
companies.
The prices paid this year, 60 or 20
cents per hundred, would hardly seem a
remunerative figure considering the la
Dor involved and as one farmer stated,
it would not pay the large producer to
spend his time with onions. On the 9TH
err hand some of the men around Good
Thunder have been very successful, one
farmer we were told secured 900 bushels
from a single acre, while another Sc
cured 400 from half acre.
1t would be hard at this time to es-
innate how many bushels will be ship
ped from Good Thunder as the cars
vary so much. Some cars hold 700
bushels while others run as high as
1000, but taking 900 bushels as the av-
erage, it is probably safe in saying that
between $4,000 and 10000 bushels of
onions will be shipped or nearly $4,000
worth.

GRAND JURY BUSINESS.
Several Important Cases to Come
Before That Body This Week.
From MONDAYS Daily

Several Important Cases to Come
Before That Body This Week.
From Mondays Daily.
The grand jury that meets Wednes-
day will have good deal of business
to attend to. Amel Schuerer is charged
with the theft of seventeen razors from
Nelson Weeds drug store last August
a. Grand larceny in the second degree
is the technical charge.
George Devans is charged with grand
larceny in the first degree. He is charged
with having robbed Peter Ulman of
$45.70, while the latter was drunk and
was riding in Devans' wagon.
Dell Fuller of Lake Crystal. a seven.
teen year old boy, is charged with grand
larceny in the second degree. 1t is al
legged that he entered the depot at Lake
Crystal and stole silk umbrella valued
al $40 from Miss Mechanics of Mime
apolis.
Sherman H. Thurston of Garden CITY
was charged with grand larceny in the
second degree for the alleged misappro-
priation of $50 left him by w. r. Nor
gan to be paid by him to the Aetna
Life Insurance company of Hartford,
Conn.
G. M. Henderson is charged by w. L.
Comstock with assault in the second de-
gree, with garden fork
Whether the charge against Jabez
r. Lloyd, the former Jackson street
music dealer, of grand larceny in the
second degree, in the embezzlement of
$765 from Dyer Brothers of st. Paul,
will be brought before the grand jury
or not is a matter of doubt, as it is
understood that settlement of the case
was made between Lloyd's relatives and
Dyer Brothers.
The case against Otto Peterson, who
was jointly indicted with Harold John
son on the charge of grand larceny in
the first degree, for the alleged theft
OF some butter from the Amboy cream
cry, is on the calendar.
1t may be that there are matters to
come before the grand jury other than
the above, but if so the officials have
not revealed the fact.

WHAT The KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
And Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains of
impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many di-
ceases and symptoms pain in the back,
headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, govt, gravel, disorders of
the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir-
regular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, cts. But
if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
Thomas Mccarthy, tanner, of Second
and Thompson streets, Mankato, Mimi,
says: about fifteen years ago l fell
and hurt my back. l practically recov-
cred but noticed that after that time
my back began to pain me. For four
years, believe, / did not pass a single
day without a dull pain and weakness
across the small of my back. Some
days it was better than others, but 1t
grew worse and worse as time passed.
The secretions were also disordered, were
discolored and contained a sediment,
and were very irregular Some days
they were free and some days scanty,
and that was when l had the most
pain. l was so weak at times that l
would be as helpless as a child and |
have had to lay off work on more than
one occasion. Though / used great
many remedies it seemed useless to try
more. l got little benefit from any
thing and became much discouraged. A
friend advised me to use Doan's Kid
ney Pills, saying they had cured him,
so sent to j. C. Thro's drug store and
got box of them. l was glad | did
because they went right straight to the
spot, relieved by backache and corrected
the action of the kidney secretions, and
removed every symptom of kidney COM

had trouble of the kind, and | give
