Dandelion Tablets and Pills induce a
natural flow of bile. This relieves the
congested condition of the liver and en-
ables it to perform its important work of
keeping the bowels and stomach in a
healthy condition.

To sCHENcK CHEMICAL co.
Gentlemen:
Have tried many kinds OF remedies for con-
stipation but have never found anything that
gives such quick and pleasant relief as your
Dandelion Pills. Your Dandelion Tablets have
proven an excellent regulator for the stomach,
both for my wife and myself.
Now that have found the Dandeion remedies
in a more condensed form will save me the
trouble of going into the fields and digging up
the dandelion plant and preparing il myself As
soon as the boxes empty shall send for more'
unless you advise me ~ which drug store may
get them in Boston.
You may say that this word Of recommends
tion is NOT paid letter many Of them are
for advertised medicines.
Signed, A. II. SANBoRN.

TO SUE THE C.G. W
FOR BACK TAXES.
STATE WILL MAKE HEAVY De
MAND OF THE RAILROAD.
Right to Pay Only 2 Per Cent When
Other Roads Were Paving to Be
Challenged in Suit to Collect 4 Per
Cent for 1905.

Il ( . = Il.
When the attorney general s depart
ment brings suit against the Great.
Western to collect the per cent tax
for 1905, it will also sue for All addi-
tional / per cent on the gross earnings
for every year from 1886 to 1904 inclu-.
sive. The road has never paid more
than per cent on its main line, and
the state contends that it should have
paid per cent under the general law.
The amount involved viii be over
100000, and would be larger if the
state could 90 back farther than 1896.
The statute of limitations ased TO run
against the state in collection of taxes,
outlawing everything over years old.
In 1902 the legislature abolished it, so
everything from 1896 down can be
reached. The 1902 law may be chal-
ilenged,. however. because the title
makes it apply only to real estate taxes,
erty.
The same issue is involved in suing
for these back taxes that is presented
in the suit for the A per cent tax on
1905. The road has paid the 2\per cent
on the claim that its charter fixed that
rate as a perpetual contract, and the
state has never before attempted to col
lect more. IS.
The Great Western has paid none Of
its 1905 tax SO far, and the state will
ask for the 2 per cent payment at once.
The state treasurer has turned over the
Great Northern IS draft to the attorney
generals department for collection Of
the 100000 in controversy. r. A.
Stone, one Of the assistants, is prepar-
ing the complaint, and when Attorney
General Young returns from his vaca-
ton it will be all ready to file.
The unpaid balance Of the Western
Union IS 1905 taxes is also in the at
torney generals hands for collection.

ACTRESSES, IN PACT,
TRY TO END LIVES

Katie RansomeN and Matte Lorraine,
actresses at q variety theater in St.
Paul, are at the city hospital as the re
suit of attempts to carry out suicide
pact. The Ransome woman is suffer-
ing from bullet wound and the other
from gas poisoning. It is said that

day morning. Joe Nellason, who claims
to be her husband, was in the room at
the time and is being held pending an
investigation. Nellason says that he
was in no way to blame and that his
wife had been Respondent for some
time.
Matte Lorraine was found uncon-
scious in her room at the Grand Cen
trail hotel. May Lorraine. a sister, went
to the hotel and found her sister un-
conscious A physician was summoned
and the woman was taken to the city
hospital. i
= The two women, who now occupy

SAMPSON LEADS
EXCELSIOR 'WEIS'
ExCELsIoR's PRESENT MAYOR
WILL SEEK REELECTION.
George Munger, One Of the Nominees
on Regular Ticket, Changes Front and
Becomes Pronounced Dry ,-Fi-
nal Shots Fired in Hot Campaign
Which eliminates Tomorrow.

An independent ticket, with Z. +.
Sampson, the present mayor, candl-.
date for reelection, and other promi-
nent high-license advocates running for
seats in the council, probably will be
put before the voters of the Excelsior
village this. evening. Tho this will
complicate the situation and be dan
adopted at the caucus Saturday night,
the " drysn still have no fear that
license will win, as the latter and most
important question will be decided by
separate ballot.
Mayor Sampson will be. most for
midable opponent of G. I. Cheely, the
caucus nominee, and confess that Mr..
Chiefly may be defeated by the elev-
enth- hour appearance of Mr.. Sampson,
but declare that 9 split on the temper:
tho many temperance men may vote the
Sampson ticket.
Whether this almost assured appear
ance of Mr.. Sampson in the ayoralty
contest is the stsomething-will-d drop =
prediction of the VETS they will not
admit, but the temperance folk declare
their belief that they now have faith
omed the deep secret that has been the
topic Of earnest speculation for week.
Regular Ticket All Dry.
Another development in the absorb
ing campaign in the little village on
the lake today is the announcement
that George Munger, fourth candidate
for councilman, is now no-license con
vert, making the entire ticket adopted
at the Saturday conference 'dry.'
Until recently Mr.. Munger was a con
fessed license map, but his sentiment
has changed. This predominance Of
"drys" on the regular ticket does not
worry the license advocates, who point
to the fact that the triumph Of indie.
pendent tickets in the village has been
as frequent as the election Of regularly
nominated candidates. The indifference
Of the license party in the caucus was
evident, and the announcement today
that Mr.. Sampson will head an indie
pendent ticket is taken as explanatory
by the opponents Of the saloons.
Last shots in the hottest campaign
ever waged in village that is notice
for heated political battles, are being
fred at Excelsior today, and both sides
still maintain they will triumph in thu
election tomorrow.

suit of q broken rail.

the rails at a sharp curve, travelled
along tho roadbed for 300 to 400 feet,
and then some Of the cars slid down
twenty-fve-foot embankment, some of
them resting hundred feet or more
from the tracks
The fact that the accident happened
on curve, probably saved many fatal
tiles, as the centrifugal force hurled the
cars out in the shape Of great bow,
and prevented them from telescoping.

it's side. The engineer and fireman both
jumped. The former escaped with a
