MANY SUFFERERS HERE
WERE GREATLY HELPED
Druggist Tells of Tremendous Popular.
ity of the Vegetable Prescrip-
ton" for the Kidneys.

That the readers of this paper
appreciate advice when given in
good faith is plainly demon.
strated by the fact that one we'll.
known local pharmacy filled the
vegetable prescription many
times within the past two weeks.
Most of these folks naturally
bought the ingredients only and
mixed them at home. The an,
nouncement of this simple harm
less mixture has certainly &C:
co mplished much in reducing
the great many cases of kidney
complaint and rheumatism here,
relieving pain and misery, espec-
tally among the older population,
who are always suffering more
or less with bladder and urinary
trou bles, backache and partic
ularly rheumatism.
Another we'll known druggist
asks US to continue the announce
ment of the prescription. It is
doing so much real good here, he
contin ues, that it would be a
crime not to do so. It cannot be
repeated too often, and further
states many cases of remarkable
cures wrought.
The following is the prescrip-
ton, of vegetable ingredients,
making a harmless, inexpensive
compound, which any person can
prepare by shaking well in a
bottle: Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one-half ounce; Compound Kar-
gon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparllla, three ounces. Any
frst-class drug store will sell
this small amount of each in
gredient, and the dose for adults
is one teaspoonful to- be- taken
after each meal and again at bed
time. There is enough here to
last for one week if taken accord
ing to directions. Good results
will be apparent from the first.

OBSERVATIONS.

Words never fail smooth
hypocrite.
A woman is always looking on
the bright side-of mirror.
Men who make good use of
their time have none to spare.
And the bottom of the cup of
joy is seldom far from the top.
just now the open season for
coal chuting is drawing to a
close.
Any man who doesn't want
what he hasn't got has all be
wants.
Never Judge the dimensions of
a woman's brain by the size of
her hat.
With some people trying to
make both ends meet is an end.
less task.
With the exception of the I'm.
dertaker few men finish all they
undertake.
1t is necessary to show some
people the open door in order to
shut them up.
Fortune knocks but once at a
mans door. Misfortune knocks
early and often.
It is fortunate that the best
man at a wedding is content to
take second place.
There's nothing like a little
brother for taking the conceit
out of pretty girl.
1t takes man to explain to a
woman things that he doesn't
understand himself.
A little learning is dangerous
thing, but lot of good ignorance
is still more dangerous.
Some women marry in order
to be independent, and some
men get unmarried for the same
reason.

FILE FORMAL COMPLAINT.
Independent Dealers After the Stand

Independent Dealers After the Stand
ard Oil Company.
st. Paul, May 24.-The independent
oil companies operating in Minnesota
are on the trail of the Standard Oil
company. The annulment of the
Standards license is the goal.
Following up their verbal complaint
Of last week the Bartles Oil company,
the Pennsylvania Oil and Supply COM
pany and the Cornplanter Oil COM
pany, all having offices in st. Paul,
have filed formal charges with Secre-
tary of State ScLmahl alleging dis
elimination
The charge is that the Standard is
violating the Hinton anti-discrimina-
tion law passed by the last Legislature.
Briefly, the three Independent con-
Germs offer evidence to show that the
Standard, in an effort to>crush COM
petition, is selling oil at a loss in Min
neapolis and st. Paul, receiving only
71a cents per gallon for it, while in
the country, notably st. James, Fair
mount and Welcome, where the Stand
ard has comparatively no competition,
1917 cents per gallon is demanded
and obtained for the same quality of
oil.

before the jury to testify to an inter-
view credited to her, but later denied,
that she, in common with others, had
escaped trial for years by the use Of
hush money paid to regularly or

lice
The number of illegal operations
performed in Chicago in a year is said
to be startling. The victims are most
ly girls and women from the country,
being drawn here through advertise
ments carefully worded and circulated
privately and in such regular publica-
lions as would handle them. The
postofice department at Washington
recently barred the advertisements of
score or more suspected physicians
and midwives, among them being DR..
HagenOW, from the mails.

ness after the trip of President and
Mrs. Mckinley to California and is
thought to understand well the treat
ment necessary for her.
A consultation of local physicians
has been called to determine what
treatment to be resorted to in hope
Of saving her life.
Mrs. Mckinley has been out driving
almost daily up to Tuesday, although
she suffered from an attack of grip
a week ago. Later she suffered an
attack of bronchitis.
Tuesday she was stricken with a
slight attack of apoplexy and her left
arm became paralyzed. Later she
lapsed into a comatose state and
Thursday afternoon she became un-
conscious. The attending physician
says that owing to her enfeebled con-
dition the end may come at any time.

AGENT SAVES TRAIN.
High Water Had Loosened Rails on
Bridge.

Chicago, May 2 The Chicago-St.
Louis passenger train on the Chicago
and Alton railroad, which left Chicago
at 9 o'clock, had a narrow escape from
being wrecked at Lemont, ILL.,, where
rain storm overflowed the sewer
tunnel and loosened the rails on the
railroad bridge.
A few minutes before the train
reached the bridge E. S. Weimer, the
ticket agent, who had been summoned
by the telephone manager, Joseph
|Starshak, ran down the tracks with
flag and halted the train. More than
a foot Of water stood for an hour in
the town.
j., A. Stein, owner of a bank at
Lemont, aided by dozen other men,
fearing the water would wash away
two storage buildings, carried out
carload Of flour before it could be de-
stroyed by water. They had just CON-
pleted their task when the walls Of
both structures fell. Half a dozen
shanties along the railroad tracks,
were washed away and many of the
buildings in the town were shifted
from their foundations. Thousands Of
dollars worth of damage was caused
by the flood.

z Can't help noticing how that
boy Evan Carson is making
things ,''hum," with his Shevlin
Advocate. He is filing his paper
with bright, crisp, newsy mat
ter that shows Shevlin is live
place; and he is getting a nice
print with a lot of "junk'' that
would drive the average printer
to the coup that both cheers and
inebriates.' Evan is profane
cuss, occasionally, but he is do
ing himself proud. Stick to 'er,

TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Mysterious Case Of Russian Consulate
Official.


Chicago, May 24.-The mysterious
case of the late Nicholas de Raglan,
secretary of the Russian consulate In
Chicago. is to be investigated. De
Raglan lived as man, was married
twice and divorced once, but when he
died at Phoenix, Ariz., the statement
was made 10y those who had charge OF
the body at Phoenix that the supposed
man was a woman.
Public Administrator Reddick has
refused to turnover De Raylan's es-
tate, valued at $4,000, to the widow on
the grounds that if De Raglan was a
woman there had been no marriage In
the eyes of the law.
Mrs. de Raglan, who claims to have
many competent witnesses to prove
her assertion, declares that her "hus-
band" was man and that she will
spend her last cent to prove 1t. She
has sent an agent to Phoenix to eX-
hume the body.

Goes on Record.

New York, May 24.-The National
Association of Manufacturers of the
United States has gone on record in
favor Of a revision of the tariff at the
earliest opportunity and the negotia-

report of the committee on tariff and
reciprocity. The committee based it's
recommendations on a poll of 5000
members of the association. Of the
total number replying SIS per cent de-
clared for immediate revision, while
20 per cent expressed a "hands OFF,
sentiment. Eight per cent believed
that the time for revision had not
arrived and the other II per cent ex-
pressed Indifference or made noncom-
initial answers.
