The County Cours House.

1t is SAID that the County Court is
considering the proposed plan of re-
modelling the County Court lhouse
Well the improvement is needed badly
enough. The present condition of tt e
court house is no credit to the county.
The plans proposed provide for the
court room to be raised to the Sseeond
floor and the lower floor to be fitted
up for enlargement of the clerks Of
fees, jury room DC The greatest fault
with the present arrangement is the
darkness of the court room which could
be entirely dispelled by raising the
room 10 the second floor. We hope the
court may see its way clear to.make
the improvement.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS,
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Wahpeton Citi-
zen Shows how to Cure
Them.

Many people never suspect
their kidneys. If suffering
from a lame, weak or aching
back they think that it is only a
m u ocular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they
think it will soon correct itself.
And so it is with all the other
symptoms of kidney disorders.
That is just where the danger
lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to
diabetes or Bright's disease. The
remedy to use is Doan's Kidney
Pill. 1t cures all ills which are
caused by weak or diseased kid.
neys. Wahpeton people testify
to permanent cures.
F. A. Nelson, 9Th ST., Wah
peton, N. d., says: "Doan's
Kidney Pill proved to be most
reliable remedyin my case. For
some time previous to using
them | suffered from dull pain
across the small of my back,
twinges of pain in my loins and
a too frequent action of the kid
ney secretion. At times 1 could
not stop over or extend my
arms without enduring torture
and in the morning when first
arose J. would be so lame and
stiff that it was only with a
great effort that l was able to
dress myself. l finally procur-
ed a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
at Keen's drug store and they
gave me relief from, the first. l
continued taking them and was
cured and am now enjoying ex-
cellent health"
