AS result we have been able to do
much good here; but there is always
room for improvement. We always
need money as our work is charitable
and there is always something to be
done. If the people who want to help
US have not time to come to the bar
racks to make a contribution they
can send it to me through the mails,
and I win send them receipts.

A Steady Drain
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole
Body-Make You Ill, Languid and
Depressed.

GSPTCSSCus
Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of the
life giving albumen from the blood in
to the urien, and the substitution of
poisonous uric acid that goes broad
cast through the system, sowing the
seeds of disease. Loss of albumen
causes weakness, languor, depression.
Uric poisoning causes rheumatic pain,
nervousness, nausea, cricks in the
back, gravel and kidney stones. The
proper treatment is kidney treatment
and the best treatment is Doan's kid
ney Pills.
D. M. Oliver, a farmer living one
half mile north of La Grande, Ore,
says: Il used Doan's Kidney Pills
some years before coming to lie

source of annoyance to me for twenty

Grading Has Begun.

That there is something doing on the
Dan Patch air line is shown by the
following clipping from the Minneapolis
Journal of Tuesday evening":
The first work on the Dan Patch air
line was begun this afternoon. A camp
has been pitched on the Lyndale road,
two miles south of the city limits, and
it will be the base of operations. At /
p. m. traction engine started from
Fifth Avenue N. and Washington,
bound for the spot where the first earth
was turned two hours later at Fifty
eighth street S.
The parade was imposing. The
thirty-fve horsepower engine was
followed by huge grader and string
of wagons and grading implements.
Initiation of grading work to-day on
the Minneapolis, Rochester & Dubuque
places that proposition beyond the pro-
motion stage, and gives what railroad
men believe to be a definite promise
that the Minneapolis, Rochester & Du-
buque Traction Company, the parent of
the Dan Patch Air Line, will have the
first independent suburban electric line
out of Minneapolis.

What The Saloons Pay.

What The Saloons Pay.
Des Moines.-Offcial statistics at
the state house disclose that the
average tax paid by the saloons oper-
ated in Iowa, September 30, 1906, was
SS65.85. Of the 240 cities in which
they are operated a tax additional to
the 5000 annual mulct was collected
in but 1854.
Of the total of $1,474,146.20 collect.
ed from saloons during the year men
toned, s54s,526.26 went to county
treasures and $925,61S94 went to
city treasures.
The Red Book, soon to be issued
by the secretary of state, will contain
statistics relative to the operation of
the mulct and cigarette tax laws.
These are the first authentic figures
showing the extent to which the laws
are in operation.
They show that there are Sc coun-
ties in which the prohibitory law still
obtains. In the AZ. counties under the
mulct law, 242 cities and towns and
81 townships have saloons. There
were Ito of them. The county
treasurers collected from them in the
year ending September 80, 1906.

from 240. OF these 76 do not charge
tax additional to the 5000 annual
mulct; the others do. The total col
lections made by cities and towns
amounted to s377,092.

Of saloons of the 43 counties in which

Weather-Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, May 81, 1907
The week began and ended with tenn
perature at or near the frost line, and
the average ranged from to 4 degrees
below the normal. There was an ex-
cess OF cloudiness with copious rainfall,
and reports indicate that the drought
has been effectually broken in all parts
of the state. In extensive areas there
was considerable excess of rainfall,
which caused damage to crops in some
localities, and retarded farm operations
several days.
On the whole the week was favorable
to the growing crops. The weather
was sufficiently warm two or three days
to quicken termination of seed and
cause marked improvement in grain
fields, meadows and pastures. Early
planted corn appears to be coming up
fairly well, and there will be not more
than the usual amount of replanting.
Cultivation is in progress, and the
general crop situation is encouraging.

Obituary..

Mrs. Mary Thompson, daughter of
Peter and Gunhild Ulrikson Solberg,
was born Sept. 20, 1853, in Winneshiek
County, Iowa. About 81 years ago she
was united in marriage with Ralph
Thompson, and nine children came to
bless this union, of whom two died in
infancy and a daughter, Clara, about
three and one-half years ago. Mrs.
Thompson had been in failing health
for number of years, and during the
past year she had been confined to her
bed almost all of the time. She passed
away on the morning of May Is, 1907,
surrounded by her husband and all of
the surviving children with the excep-
ton OF Mrs. John R. Hughes who but
recently returned to her home in
Garfield, Wash, after an extended
stay at the parental home, and all of
whom survive to cherish the memory of
kind and affectionate wife and
mother.
The funeral was conducted at the
house and at the church by her pastor,
Rev. o. Otterson, Wednesday after
noon. Interment was in Oak Lawn
Cemetery.
!. A choir consisting of Misses Ham
mond and Webster and Messrs. Patter-
son and Morton sang during the funeral

The Great Western Road Not
Interested

AS President of the Minneapolis,
Rochester & Dubuque Traction Com
pany, | wish to correct the mis-state-
ment which has been made and copied
in various papers, to the effect that the
Dan Patch Air Line is part of a
general scheme Of electrical railways
projected by the Chicago Great Western
Railway Company. The source of this
story is a mystery to me, but from
whatever fertile Imagination it came,
makes no difference. 1t is absolutely
without foundation.
The Minneapolis, Rochester & Du-
buque Traction Company is incorporated
under the laws of the State Of New
Jersey with the privilege of doing bust
ness in Minnesota and Iowa. Its stock
holders are almost entirely men of
these two states and it is backed large
ly by Minneapolis capital. 1t is not
affiliated with or supported by the
Great Western or any railway or other
corporation.
Our stock is being sold to men living
along our right of way who are
interested in this road for the great
good it will bring their respective
properties and communities.
When the Dan Patch Air Line is COM
pleted, we want to have it owned and
entirely controlled by men living along
it's right of way. If we did not have
this object in view, the building of the
road might be easier of accomplish
ment as our ability to bond the road
with Eastern capital is practically un-
limited.
We have practically secured the right
of way and permanent surveys have
been or are being made and we expect
to begin the work of grading and lay
ing rails within the next week or so.
| am informed that there is some
intention on the part of the Great
Western Railway Company to electrify
certain portion of the road. If this
is true, the Company is doing it because
they realize the necessity of preparing
to compete with the up-to-date trans.
portation facilities that will be furnished
by the Minneapolis, Rochester & Du-
buque Traction Company. Whether
the Railroad Company has that inten-
ton or not, they have nothing to dc
with us or we with them, and It is only
fair to us, to our Stockholders and to
the public generally, to have this
thoroughly understood.
