away and destroying of the tissues OF

You may rest assured that disease will
search out your weak spot and gain

And such assistance is best supplied by
Dr. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills. which
are by far the most thoroughly effective
tissue builder and nerve restorative that
Is known to the medical profession.

Spirit Messages.

The alleged spirit messages from the
late DR.. Richard Hodgson TO his living
friend and former co-wOrker, Prof. Hys
lop, through the medinmship of Mrs
Piper of Boston, are described by DR.
Isaac Funk, the New York publisher, in
his book, The Psychic Riddle.
DIR. Fink says the subject is one
that should not be scoffed at. The
spirit of Hodgson is believed to have
talked to Mrs. Piper while she was in
the trance state and wrote what was
said on sheets of paper in Hyslop's
presence.
One message says lit is delightful to
go through the cool ethereal atmos-
phere and shake off the mortal body"
The spirit said further that during
his effort to communicate to the liv-
ing he felt as if in a stuffy atmosphere
or as if going into a place of foul
smells
DIR. Fink believes that we are i'm the
presence of "a scientific demonstration
OF future life" if Hyslop is right
about these messages being received.
He, Funk, has no doubt now that
'intelligences foreign to our five senses
can and do communicate with some of
those who are living in the flesh
But he is not certain that 'they can
and do indemnity themselves as those
who once lived in the fesh.' Now if
someone will send message from the
other place" we could get fairly
good idea of what is i'm store for a
number of bad people who infest this
world

HEAVY TAX PAYERS

From Mondays Daily.
In looking over the list of personal
property taxes paid to Treasurer
Hart this year, several large items are
noticed The largest tax paid by any
individual firm or corporation was that
of the National Citizens bank, this city,
which amounted to S2,299.87. While this
sum is the largest by about $500 there
are several between $1,000 and 81 800
To date the city of Mankato has paid
personal taxes this year $30862 S3, and
the county as whole outside of Man.
kato S25, 100. 1t will thus be seen that
this city pays considerably more than
half the entire amount and the National
Citizens pays about one-thirteenth of
this sum.
