tobacco, grown in the famous Pied

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and fue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and inn
proved way is called fue cured.
In hue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of fame heated fues, which
brings out in the tobacco that

to both tobacco and coffee the cheer

much on the curing process and the

pert tests prove that this fue cured

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your trOu-
bles.-A Mankat0 Citizen Shows
How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is
only muscular weakness; when urin-
airy trouble sets in they think it will
soon correct itself. And so it is with
all the other symptoms of kidney dis
orders. That is just where the danger
lies. You must cure these troubles or
they lead to diabetes or Bright's dis
ease. The best remedy to use is Doan's
Kidney Pills. 1t cures all ills which
are caused by weak or diseased kidneys.
Mankato people testify to permanent
cures.
Frank Hamilton, cigar maker, of I'LL
Fourth ST., Mankato, Mimi, says: Il
have used Doan's Kidney Pills and
know that they are all right. My back
was in such bad shape that l could
scarcely sit at the bench to do my work
and many time thought l would have
to give up and 60 home. AT night 1
was in such a weak condition l could
scarcely drag myself home. ! could not

NATURE BEATS THE DENTIST
Perfect Gold Crown Found in Animal
Shot in the West.

San Francisco. Feb 27.-lt is seldom
that nature plays dentist for a noun
tain sheep, yet such was the case with
in the possession of l.. C. Dillman OF
Seattle
The sheep was shot by Andrew Eagle
son, n copper prospector in the Copper
valley country, while prospecting along
the Mana river. He was amazed, up
on examining the trophy of his hunt to
note that its teeth were coated with
what appeared to be pure gold.
Accordingly he preserved the lower
jaws, and, upon reaching Seattle, pre-
scented it to Dillman, who had further
examination made by chemists, who
pronounced the coating to be almost
pure gold.
Dilman, besides calling in the chem
lists. has submitted this freak of nature
to several dentists. They tell him most
of the metal covering is gold and they
admire the wav in which Dame Nature
as a dentist covered the sides of each
tooth.
They say they could not initiate work
so perfect and it is rare object lesson
: in dentistry for them. The upper sur
face of each tooth is clean, solid and
white. Both the sides and the upper
surface of each front tooth are also free
from any gold covering. All the teeth
are solid and in good state of preserya-
ton.
Mr.. Dillman intends to give one por-
ton of the jaw to President Roosevelt
as a unique present; the other half he
will give to the Smithsonian institute
at Washington, ID. c.

MAY BUILD IN ST. PETER.
Peat Fuel Company Has Changed Its
Plans Somewhat.
From Fridays Daily.

Agents of the United States Fuel
company have altered their plans and
the concern may build its factory in st.
Peter. 1t was originally intended to
build near Oshawa and develop the boys
about Timbre and Middle lakes, but the
deposit at Spring lake, which lies within
a thousand yards of the Omaha station
at ST. Peter, is now the objective point
of the promoters.
M. E. Babcock of Mankato, repre-
sentative of the fuel company, a few
days ago, opened negotiations with c.
W. Carpenter of st. Peter, who owns
200 acres of peat bordering the lake.
Carpenter quoted a price on his hold
ings and yesterday his terms were ac-
cepted my the fuel men, they making
payment of $500 in cash for an option
to run until April l.
Arrangements have been made to
have Chicago peat expert come to st.
Peter Immediately and test the deposit,
and the future of the industry, as far
as local persons are concerned, will de-
pend on his findings If his report is sat
isfactory the company will buy up the
property in the spring and will expend
$4,000 in erecting factory.

German Lutheran Hos pital Associa.
ton Received Six Bids.
SOCIETY APPROVES OF PROPOSAL
Building Must Be Completed and
Turned Over to the Orsaniza-
ton Sept. list.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The directors and building committee
of the German Evangelical Lutheran
Hospital association met yesterday af-
ternOon at the school building and open
ed bids for the construction of the main
hospital building, without plumbing
heating or inside painting. Six bids
were received, and all were reasonable
and lower than had been expected. j
b. Nielsen & Co. of this city were the
award the contract to this company sub
ject to the approval of the association
A meeting of the hospital association
was held last evening at the school
house, and the bids were reported, to,
gether with the recommendation of the
trustees and building committee. The
meeting discussed the matter for near
ly three hours and then voted to APP
prove the award of the contract. The
trustees and members of the building
committee who were present from out
of the city were A. w. Schweppe of St
James, Carl Matzke of Good Thunder
Paul, Kunkle of Rapidan and A. NJ
Schneeberger of Amboy.
Under the terms of the contract the
building is to be completed and turned
over by Sept. lst. Work will begin as
soon as possible. The contractor is to
tear down the old Tourtellotte hospital
building and to use the materials in the
construction of the new one. The
building, when completed, with the heat
ing, plumbing, painting and furnishings
will cost about $4,000.
The building will front on Fourth
street and will be AZ feet wide and 81
feet deep. 1t will be three stories high
above high basement, and will be
heated by steam and lighted by elec.
tricity. The basement and first story
win be constructed of range rock, and
the upper two stories of MankatO brick
of a special sand mould that will nearly
match the stone in color. The building
will be- of attractive appearance, and
will be great credit to Mankato.
The building will be up-to-date in
every respect, and a model hospital
The latest ideas in hospital construction
will be Incorporated into it, and it will
have large and ample sun room, a
feature that is now made great use of;
The building will be located near the
corner of Fourth and Washington
streets, and will set back from the
walks a little. 1t is to be so arranged
that other buildings can be constructed
later, as the demand for room makes
them necessary.

THROUGH THE ICE.
Johnny Zins browns in Swan Lake;
Parents Are Frustrated.

st. Peter, Feb. 23.-1n vain attempt
to Chamber over an Ice reef at Swan
lake, Johnny Zins, the twelve year-old
son of j. c. Zins, merchant of Nicol-
let village, fell through assure in the
ice and was drowned.
The unfortunate boy, with younger
brother, had spent several days with an
uncle living near the lake, and as they
were returning home, a passing farmer
invited them to ride with him to Nicol-
let. The smaller boy accepted, but his
brother declined, and continued his walk
across the frozen surface OF the lake.
Not reaching home in the evening, his
parents became thoroughly frightened
and yesterday morning gave the alarm.
Searching parties were at once organic
ed at Nicollet and a. few hours later
they succeeded in finding the object of
their quest. u "a na 3tr
Frozen to the Use at the edge of the
fissure were the little fellows mittens,
telling pathetically of. his desperate fight
against death, and their position indicat-
ed that. he chung to the foe until over
come by the cold and fatigue. When his
body was found it lay in y cramped po-
sition, evidence of repeated efforts to
sclimb out upon the ice in the strug-
gle which probably continued for hours.
Coroner Merritt, was called to Nieol-
let but thought an inquest unnecessary.

tragedy.

WINNING MADE BY CONVICT.
Secured SIS, 900 for Guessing Num-
Der Of Admissions to Fair.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 23.lCharles Camp
bell is one of the most popular prisoners
that was ever incarcerated in the Ne
braska penitentiary.
He is the man who won a prize of
1000 for guessing the exact number of
admissions at the st. Lewis exposition.
At present the money is tied up in court,
several of the contestants claiming that
deadhead admissions should not be in
cluded in the estimate.
Campbell is represented by J. NJ. Chat
fin, of Red Cloud, who is to get fee
of one fourth of the prize money Other
expenses will reduce the amount of the
prize to $l2,5U0.
Campbell gets the largest number of
letters of any prisoner at the peniten-
tiary. Two proposals of marriage have
been received The names of the fair
ones are secrets which both Campbell
and the warden refuse to reveal One
woman wrote to remind Campbell that
he once promised to buy her new hat.
Now that he has the coin in sight, she
would like the hat.
He will be set free next September.
He was imprisoned for embezzling ST.
900 belonging to w. H. Ferguson, Of
Lincoln, for whom he was managing an
elevator at Red Cloud i
A woman was the cause of all the
trouble. On her Campbell lavished the
money he should have invested in wheat
and corn. After his arrest she forsook
him. Now it is reported that she wishes
to win his favor again and will endeavor
to meet him at the prison gates. &
Campbell promised the prosecution
