LOOKS FOR A SQUEEZE
Gloomy View Is Taken BY Judge E
II. Carey

New York, July l0.-EX-Judge E. H..
Gary, chairman of the steel trust, has
sailed for Europe. He was asked how
he viewed the financial and commercial
outlook.
at would be surprising, he replied, IF
with the prevailing conditions, there
would not be some diminutiOn in the
volume of business during the rest of
this year. The business of our own COM
pany in the last six months has exceed
ed that of the first six months of last
year, and we know that 1906 was big
year. / had all the presidents of our
constituent companies here last week
for a general talk over the situation be-
fore my departure. Every one of them
was exceedingly optimistic. They could
see nothing ahead but sound conditions
and continued prosperity. Despite this,
look for some contraction.
"To begin with, next year is a presi-
Dental election year. This has always
had the effect of causing a curtailment
of orders the latter part of the preced-
ing year and the first part of the elec-
ton year. Business men do not care to
undertake new enterprises or order quite
so heavily in the face of uncertain po-
litical conditions.
"The second point is, that we have
been doing too much business for the
amount of money that has been avail
able to finance our needs. 1t is well
known that various corporations, among
them many railroads, have had Difficult
| ty in securing capital required to their
continued growth on the scale that has
prevailed The steel corporations, FORUM
ately. has not experienced this diff
Guilty
"The increase in the volume of money
in the world has not kept pace with the
increase in business. The companies have
not been able always to obtain funds to
make the purchases they would like to
make. This necessarily leads to cut
| ting down of orders But the railroads
and other corporations have been forced
to continue to purchase large quanti-
ties of supplies to handle the traffic
thrust upon them, even though eompell-
ed to pay very high rates for the money
required.
Il have seen signs also of a decrease
in the amount of building activity, and
think that there will be so many
| large structures projected in the next
six months, for, obviously, if growing
corporations find difficulty in meeting
their ordinary demands, still greater OBJ
stacles are presented to the men who
would put through entirely new under
takings.

REGARDING THRESHING BILLS
South Dakota Decision Of Interest to
Local Attorneys.

Pierre, S. d., July 6.-In the case
of w. j. Hahn against the Sleepy Eve
Milling company, in an opinion handed
down by Presiding Justice Fuller of
the supreme court the lower court of
Bookings county was sustained, in a
case which will be of special interest to
elevator men and grain buyers all over
the state
In this case grain had been purchas-
ed as soon as threshed, and Hahn, the
thresher, claimed lien on the grain
for his threshing bill, after the grain
was in the hands of the elevator men.
The latter fought the case on the
grounds of umconstitutionality as well
as on technical grounds, but We're de-
feated in the circuit court and again
in the supreme court.
The court holds in effect that a pur-
chaser of grain does so at his own
risk, and that the effect is the same
within the ten days in which the
thresher has to file his lien as it is
after the same is fled.
Under this decision grain buyers will
want evidence that the threshing
charges are paid before they make any
purchases of grain in the state.
Local attorneys were interested in
the outcome of this case.

would not do so. However, he will
publish all such names as he is Civ
en- permission to. This in the in
terest of humanity, in the interest of
those who are sick, and is calculated
to be of service to those who have
tried and given up in despair.

those who desire to consult him an
opportunity to consult with this emil

HypOdermic Medication as practiced
| by Dr. Doran, at the West Hotel
Minneapolis, unlike the system of
drugging the patient to death chal-
! lenger definition. Call it what you
please, give it any name you please
but the fact remains that no other
treatment brings such remarkably
quick results. Hvpolermic Medication
supplies what other remedial agents
lack in the curative properties of
| restoring health and making mcurable
diseases amenable to cure. Even dis
eases that have been thought to be
incurable and beyond hope, this treat
ment cures permanently lastingly and
successfully, without pain and with.
out inconvenience to the patient.
| Dr. Doran has been using this treat
ment for many years, and he has new
Ell failed to bring about results that
are satisfactory to both himself and
the patient True, he has to select
such cases as he knows to be durable
and such cases that will yield to the
beneficial and durable results. In the
ordinary methods of practice, Hypoder-
mic Medication, as practiced in these
instances, is not usual. True, physi-
clans use medicine hypodermically, but
not of the kind that is destructive
to the diseased tissue. This destruc-
ton takes place instantly, and the
first treatment tends to prove of bene-
fit and goes further as restoration
to the parts affected. With HypO-
dermic Medication there is no return
of the disease, the patients health
gradually improves, the parts become
isolated from the circulation of the
patient and the condition is favorable
from the beginning. The treatment is
autiseptic, hygienic and healthful. 1t
is devoid of danger and is great.
BY this treatment DR.. DOran treats
successfully and cures all durable cases
of cancer, tumor, piles, fistula, goiter,
moles, warts, tubercular glands and
other external abnormal growths.
We are permitted to herewith pub
lish the names of some patients who
have been cured by this method of
| treatment:
Oscar Link, Preston, Mimi. says DIR.
Doran's treatment is curing him of
rupture and varicocele. This is fully
the case, but new method used.
s. E. Thomas, Burdette, S. D.
Cured of chronic Catarrh and stomach
and other constitutional sickness. DR..
Doran cured quickly.
John Hill. Morgan, Minn.-Cured of
nervousness and nerve weakness quick
| ly after other doctors had failed on
him.
Philip Johnanson, West Brook, MINI.
| Cured of Bright's disease and blad-
der trouble.
c. MattsOn, Sand Ridge. MIMI
Cured of nervous and sexual debility
in three months.
NJ. L. Whites, Wells, Minn.-Cured of
cancer of the jaw by DR.. Doran's in
lection treatment. No cutting neces-
sary to cure these eases, and they
are cured to stay cured

Mankato People Have Good Reason For

Do you know how
TO find quick relief from backache;
To correct distressing urinary ills;
To surely cure sick kidneys?
Just one way-your neighbors know
Have used Doan's Kidney Pills;
Have proved their worth in many
tests.
Here's MankatO testimony:
j. F. AFRICAN, engineer, on the Great
Western railway, living at l4O3 North
Broad street, Mankato, Mimi, said in a
statement made in 1899: Railroad
work is hard on the kidneys and there
are very few men who do not suffer
from some form of kidney complaint. l
suffered with terrible pains and weak
ness across my loins. Every jolt and
Jar of the engine seemed to go straight
to that spot Some times after com.
ing from long run | could scarcely
get off my engine. / would have to
hobble home lame and weak. Then L
suffered at night, and though | tried
many remedies nothing helped me but
Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me
entirely and made my back strong and
WE'LL"
Cured Six Years.
Mr. AFRICAN confirmed the above
statement in 1905 when he said: Il can
only speak words of praise for Doan's
Kidney Pills. What / said in 1899 was
true in every particular. The cure has
been a lasting one and my back and
kidneys are now sound and | can sleep
all night"

Several farmers in the vinicity of Fer
gus Falls are raising winter wheat for
the first time, and while some of ib was
killed on account of the early spring
thaw and the cold weather which fol-
lowed, other fields came through all
right, and give promise of a large crop.
Farmers are convinced that in ordinary
seasons winter wheat can be raised very
successfully, and others will engage
more extensively in its culture next
year. Winter rye Jared much the same
as winter wheat, but seems to have
stood the chaneable spring rather better,
and gives promise of an abundant yield.

Many Are Brought Before
Judge w. l.. COmstOck.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
| This was mlucky day for several
parties who fell into the clutches of the
law. 1t was worse than most blue Mon
| days. An excess of patriotism or some
thing else caused an unusual amount of
celebration on the part of a good many
people yesterday, and some of these got
within the dead line of the law. Richard
Roe was one of these. He was stand
| ing in a crowd last evening, near the
union depot, throwing fire crackers on
| the walk, and is said to have thrown
one under a lady's dress, so that when
| it exploded it set fire to the garment,
damaging it to considerable extent,
besides causing an unpleasant shock.
He told the court that he was not
guilty, but was willing to pay for the
damage to the dress. The lady's hus-
band being willing to settle on this ba-
sis. the case was dismissed.
Alver Findley rode his bicycle upon
the sidewalk on North Front street
yesterday afternoon, and fell under the
watchful eye of Officer Garberding. He
pleaded guilty to having fractured a
city ordinance and paid a fine of SS.65.
Later today Findley appeared at the
police station and said that he had been
assaulted in saloon and his eye black
ed by half a dozen people. Officer Sim
monds accompanied him to saloon and
was informed that Findley was lne one
that started the trouble. Findley picked
out man whom he said had assaulted
him, but the man and his friends said
that he was not at the saloon when the
trouble occurred and had never seen
Fmdley before.
j. NJ. Warfield was before the court
on the charge of disorderiy conduct. 1t
was claimed by neighbors that he occa-
sionally makes the air blue near his
residence with profanity. He pleaded
guilty, but the court decided to defer
passing sentence until p. m. tomor-
row.
f. Erin, stranger, was locked up
last night, much the worse for liquor,
and today pleded guilty to the charge
of drunkenness, first offense. He paid
fine of $40 and costs.
Barney Jones, who admitted that he
was drunk last night, was fined $40 ans
costs, it being his first offense within
the official knowledge of the court.
Albert Wertz got into trouble last
night by interfering to save friend
from arrest. Officer Garberding had
taken man into custody for shooting
firecrackers too freely for the public
good, but Wertz interfered with the Of
ficer and was the means of the prison
er making his escape. Wertz was then
locked up, but his friend did not play
the Damon and Pythias act, and the
court sent Wertz to Jail for ten days
at hard labor, straight, without the
option of fine.
John w. Carlson, who has been before
the court ''many time and off," was
locked up today on the ground that he
had been too familiar with John Bar
leycorn. He claimed that he was as
sober as he could be, but as his APP
pearance belied his talk his trial was
set for 5 p. m.
