Thin Blood Makes
a Weak BODY.
But You Can Enrich the Blood and
Send Now Vigor Through the Sys.
tenn by Using DR.. A. w. Chase's
Nerve Pills.

Every nerve and every muscle Of the
body depends on the blood for nourish-
ment. Thin. watery blood makes weak
nerves and fiabby muscles. The heart
fails in its work Of forcing blood
through the body; the lungs, the stom-
ach, the liver, kidneys and bowels all
do their work in an imperfect way, and
you drag about weak, tired and miser-
able.
The use Of DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve
Pills make a radical change in every
human system that is starved and i'm
poverished for want Of rich, pure and
life sustaining blood.
Gradually. certainly and naturally
they instill new vigor into every nook
and corner Of the body, restore health
and vitality. and put a new joy into life.

INDEMNITY is ESTABLISHED
Nan Who Wss Burned Was Probably
Joe Phillips Of Rafferty's Camp.
ENr6,Y,, Cok, nfdo Irailx

from SATURDAY LAZY.
1t now seems to be pretty, definitely
established that the man who was found
burned to death in the remains of L. p.
Mueller's barn was Joe Phillips, an EN-
ploye-s at Rafferty's grading camp near
Minneopa. This is the theory that the
police went to work OH yesterday aft
.ernoon, as stated by the Free Press.
As stated yesterday, Phillips and two
companions came to the city Thursday
and spent good part of the day drink
ing. His companions placed Phillips in
Guth's barn during the day to sleep. Be-
tween ten and eleven o'clock Thursday
night the three men were in Guth's
saloon, when Phillips slipped away from
his companions without their noticing
where he went. 1t is believed that he
sought to find Guth's barn again, but
went a little too far and got into Muel-
IeT > DaTH. he mas HOC DeeH seen Sl1lce,
although diligent search has been made.
Phillips had $50 coming to him at the
camp, which he could only get by pre-
senting his Identification card. This
gives his home as Baltimore, Md. Before
coming to work on the railroad his COM
panions say that he went under the
name of John Bates of Mason City, Ia.
Phillips companions were in the CITY
again this morning and viewed the re-
mains, and were almost positive that
they were the remains of Phillips. The
size and the Roman nose corresponded,
and one of the men identified the piece
of the checked shirt as one that Phillips
had offered to loan him two weeks ago.
The other said that .he had loaned Phil
lips piece of soap wrapped in a piece
of towel and also a pocket comb.
Among the things found near the body.
were "a piece of soap wrapped in cloth
and the steel frame of pocket comb
holder
A rumor that the remains are those
of man named Patterson is denied
by Jack Theissen, with whose mother
Patterson boarded while employed by
Mayer Brothers. Patterson had two
toes off, while the toes on the man who
was burned were all intact, it is believed.
Other rumors have been run down and
the parties said to be missing have been
found.

OwatOnna Mayor Gives Sa-
F. loon Men a Jolt.
AN EDICT AGAINST TOBACCO
caIIoW Youths Cannot Get "Coffin
Nails" as Readily as Heretofore;
New Deal in Effect.

Owatonna, Oct. G.-The 'lid' is on
i'll Owatonna with a vengeance. And the
people are sitting up and rubbing their
eyes, amazed and hardly ready as yet to
credit their senses. Not, only has the
lid" been pushed down hard on the sa-
loon men, but it has struck with CORE
spending force on numerous other places
of business in the city. For no more
will the callow youth, with hat tilted to
one side and hands stuck in trousers
pockets, stand OH the street corer and
roll the naughty cigarette. A notice has
been sent out to all dealers that here
after they shall not sell to any minor
pupil of any school in this city, nor to
any, other person under the age of eigh
teens any tobacco. nor give to such any
cigarette papers. And the offenders are
warned that they will be punished to
the full extent of the law. And those
who do in some manner obtain the ne
cessary ''makings" are likewise warned
that they will be given five days in the
city bastile if they shall be caught
smoking on the streets. A noticeable
decrease in the sale of tobacco has re-
suited and many u nerve-wrecked youth
looks with tender feelings of regret at
his rapidly diminishing supply of to-
bacco, bought before the edict went in
to effect.
Another reform move is the sudden
order strictly to enforce the curfew or
dinance. And now all under sixteen
years of age are given fair warning
that they must be off the streets and
in their respective homes when the cur
few tolls. For the past year the evil
thus curbed has been growing at an
alarming rate in Owatonna, and girls and
boys of tender years have roamed about
the streets at all hours of the night.
But now all this is put an end to, and
last night the streets were practically
cleared of persons under the stated age
1t is surprising, though, how many chill
dren became sixteen years of age the
day preceding the enforcement of the
law.
Still another blow to the "wide-openr
people came in the arrest of half dozen
siloonkeepers for failure to keep their
curtains drawn aside on Sundays and
after eleven o'clock, so that those pass
ing by night have a clear view of the
interior of their places of business. They
were also given a warning that here
after the law regarding the closing of
their places would be rigidly enforced
The administration evidently means
business, and the police officers have in
structions to enforce the edicts to the
letter.

at the Conference.
MANY MINISTER'S PRESENT
Rev, W. S. Emery Is Made An As
sistant Secretary Of the Session;
Elders Reports

st. Paul, Oct. 4.-Central Park Meth.
odist Episcopal church was crowded to-
day with ministers and laymen from
throughout the state and city at the
formal opening of the annual Minnesota
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church Bishop C. C. McCabe presided.
The sacrament of the Lord supper
was administered by the bishop. The
conference sermon was preached by Rev.
j. NJ Brown, on the theme, 'The Souls
Satisfaction in God"
Mr.. Brown said in part: at is claimed
by recent writer that science arises
from mans conscious and religion from
his sub conscious states. Briefly, in his
book, Ourselves and the Universe says
that the statement may be too strong,
but that it points in the right direction.
He says that we now understand better
Paschal's profound remark in its appli-
cation to religion: What is founded
only in reason is badly founded He
tells us that it is in the region beyond
reason in the spheres of intuition, OF
feeling, of aspiration, which Goethe has
set forth as the highest thing In man,
that religion finds at once its perennial
spring and its impregnable refuge.
Along the side of it's nature humanity
most quickly and most surely feels the
culver of the infinite
Changes of preachers within the dit
ferent conferences were announced by
Bishop McCabe as follows:
Transferred from the Minnesota con-
ference are: E. J. Durham, to the Aus
tin conference; w. d. Seekner, to the
Colorado conference; B. c., Stills, to the
Wisconsin conference; S. I'll. Brown, Ito

Charles Miller, from the North Ger
man conference, and w. L. Langue, OF
the Michigan conference, were transfer
red to the Minnesota conference.
DIR. f. NJ. Rule, presiding elder of the
Winona district, reported great in
crease in the membership OF. the churches
and much good work by the ministers.
Peter Clare, presiding elder of the Mall
kato district, had similar reports to
make OH the progress of the church IN
his district. New churches had been
built and improvements made every
where. F. B. Cowgirl, presiding elder Of
Marshall district, reported that the
work of the ministers in his district had
