CURED TO STAY CURED.
How a Mankato Citizen Found Com
plete Freedom from Kidney Trou-

If you suffer from backache-
From urinary disorders
From any disease of the kidneys,
Be cured to stay cured
Doan's Kidney Pills make lasting
cures.
Mankato people testify.
Here's one case of it:
George Warwick, of $40 South Fourth
St., blacksmith, Mankato, Mimi, says:
81 still think as well of Doan's Kidney
Pills today as | did in 1898, although
have had no occasion to use them since
they cured me of kidney complaint. The
cure they made in my case has been per-
manent, and there has not even been
an indication of return of the trouble.
| used to suffer constantly with a dull
grinding backache and if l stopped |
could hardly straighten again and some
times it seemed as if my back was being
pulled apart. | was certainly troubled
terribly with this pain, and L was glad
when Doan's Kidney Pills removed it. l

WHERE is THE INGRATlTUDE?
There Is Nothing in the CRY Raised
BY the Standpat Element

When Mr.. McCleary was first elected
to congress he was more with the peo-
pie of the district, but has gradually
zone over to the enemies of the people
and now doesn't properly represent the
district. There is no better or more con-
elusive evidence of this fact than the
national tariff leagues interest in his
reelection. Mr. Guttersen sees the situa-
ton and offers himself as representa-
tive to relieve the people as far as he
can from the tyranny of the trusts and
monopolies that are championing the Nc
Cleary cause and are working to re-elect
him. All those papers that are boosting
for Mr.. McCleary are putting power in
the hands of those corporations that are
enemies to the people. If this is not
so, why should Mr.. McCleary and his
henchmen scatter money all over the
district that looks to be about six or
more times as much as his salary of
$1,000 year from the government.
1t is understood from parties in Man
kato that when Mr.. AIcCleary was first
nominated for congress he had been a
school teacher in that city and had all
his belongings packed ready to leave the
district, but he succeeded in getting the
nomination and has remained, living most
of the time at the hotels, with no in
vestment in property and no taxes to
pay in the district. 1t is said now, how
ever, that he bought small piece of
city property recently in order to be-
come taxpayer in the district. Being
so situated Mr.. McCleary has been quite
independent to cater to those interests
that rewarded him best for the time and
ability. If he could hoodwink the people
into denomination it was well for him !;
should he fail he could at once board the
train for new fields. But his great pow
er to make the illogical look logical and
plausible is an asset that has been very
fruitful for him.
Mr.. Guttersen is man of the com.
mon people and has his investments in
the district, pay taxes and lives among
the people. When he was first appointed
as special agent of the rural mail SER
vice Guttersen and McCleary both were
with the people, but change in civic
and commercial conditions has come, and
Guttersen stayed with the people while
McCleary went the other way.
Mr. Guttersen's position was not the
property of Mr.. McCleary, any more
than that he acted as agent for the peo-
pie in securing the appointment. Posi-
bly, this theory has given Mr.. McCleary
the mistaken idea that his job in con-
gress is his undisputed and absolute
property. Both really belong to the peo-
pie who pay the salaries. Where is the
logic of the socalled ingratitude ?

BOYS BETTER THAN GIRLS
Difference in Sex at the Redwing
Training School.
From ThurSdaV'S Daily

''Seventy-fve per cent of the boys
make good, but only 63 per cent of the
girls under our care benefit from the ad-
vantages we offer them,' said Miss Grace
Johnston, state agent of the Redwine
training school, at the meeting of the
institution managers held under the aus
pices of the board of control at the state
capitol yesterday. "The percentage of
girls that make good however, is grow
ing" added Miss Johnston, speaking of
her work, "and with an increase in the
number of field agents to keep an eye
on those released we hope to increase
the effectiveness of the work now being
DONE One trouble of the past has been
the institutionalizing of the children
Because of long confinement they have
become untitled to cope with the world
but happily, under the new scheme of
frequent releases, that danger is bon9
minimized. The children are now being
put out as fast as good homes can be
secured for them' Miss Johnstons pa
per was the principal topic of discussion
at the meeting yesterday, and she was
warmly commended for her work. HeI
recommendation for more field agents
was indOrsed.

Those Lane Frauds.

Congressman Fordaey, who has OPP
Grated largely in wessern timber lands,
says of the Indictment of +. w. and
Ralph e. Gilchrist, of Alpena, and
others, for alleged timber frauds in
Oregon, that he hardly thinks the case
can be made to stick against the Gill
christs.
II know something about those
lands" he said. They were located
and assembled into tract by Dorgan
& Devine, old Michigan landlookers,
who procured them from individual
homesteaders and then resold them to
eastern capitalists, among whom were
the Michigan men indicted. The charge
will have TO be, of course, that the
owners of the landslide people indict-
ed-procured their entry under the
homestead and timber and stone acts
by dummy homesteaders. That has
been the charge in other instances, but
In this case ] do not think 1t will hold
true as against the Michigan men, as
the lands were entered before they
ever heard of them"

Mrs. George See, of Pontiac, has re-
ceived a letter from her sister, Miss

asylum, where over 100 lives were
lost, near San Jose, Cal. She writes:
II saw a man who insulted help
less woman ordered by soldiers to
dig his own grave at the point of a
bayonet, and after being shot was
kicked into the new made grave. AT
the asylum 10S patients, two doctors
and eight nurses were crushed to
death and 1000 insane are sleeping on
the ground. / lost every stitch of

Rev. F. M. Taylor. of the First

ored girl from family In st. Peters
burg, Fla. A letter has been received
by Mayor Abel in which the writer

learned of the case and raised money
to help her escape, but feared the man
with whom she lived would follow her.

The cOmpany,s startling Move.

The Standard Oil Co, the richest
and most powerful corporation in the
word, has started for cover and the
pace was fully as fast as some OF its
sallies into the open fed occupied
by the Independent producer and the
small dealer. Ii doubled the pay of
its directors, making them the high
est paid directors in the country, and
hired a press agent.
There are thirteen directors in the
company, and the cost of these meet
ings to the corporation is more than
100000 a year The thirteen direc-
tors are: John d. Rockefeller, VIM.
G. Rockefeller, John ID. Archbold,
Charles r. Pratt, VIM. II. Tilford, Hen
ry NJ. Flagler, Henry H. Rogers, G.
W. Hardness, Oliver H. Payne, F. @.
Barstow, j. A. Moffett, E. T. Bedford
and Walter Jennings.
Most amazing to those who have
followed the Standard OIL policy is the
appointment of Joseph l. c. Clarke as
official press agent at a salary of $780,
900. The public could more easily
conceive of the corporation paying
$4,000 year to keep the news of its
affairs out of the papers, but that 1t
should pay any such amount to gain
publicity is almost staggering.

Pritehard to Marquette.

1t was a sad farewell which James
Pritchard babe to his family in Flint
Thursday morning just before he start
ed to Marquette, where he must serve
ten years for assaulting Miss Hazel
Pettis. His father, George Pritchard.
who came from Chatham, Ont, for the
trial, has been seized with brain fever,
and the son was permitted to go to his
bedside to say goodbye.
But the most pathetic scene was
that between James and his faithful
sister, Miss Nay Pritchard. She has
visited him daily at the Jail since
Christmas, taking him his dinner each
day, and counseling with him. Each
night she refused to leave him at the
jail until he had knelt in prayer. She
has urged him to be blameless in his
conduct in prison so that he may rea-
sonably expect that his sentence will
be committed.
