Young cotton also received a
death blow from the freeze. In

near here, it was killed dead and
farmers are having to plant over,
many of them having to buy

who didn't have any killed are

Electric lights and an oil mill

to see her a booming, prosperous

ing questions that coufronts the
farmers nowadays, is the labor
q uestion. In fact, in a great many
sections it has gotten to be a
rather serious one. There was
an old fellow in the city few
days ago. however, who has
solved the problem to his own
satisfaction, but his case is rather
amusing. He is about sixty
years old, but remarkably well
preserved and in the best oil
health and has grown son,
who is also in splendid health.
He and his son came in few
days ago, driving twenty miles
through the country in wagon
and brought two bales of cotton
to sell, which he said was his
entire crop for last year. He
sold the two bales for good
price and was discussing matters
pertaining to farming, when he
remarked that these two bales
were the last he expected to
make. Asked for his reasons for
same, he replied Labor is entire
ly too scarce"
Yesterday was Memorial Day
and it was appropriately observ

fine dinner, given by the ladies,
after which they marched in a
body to the cemetery and listen.

also took part in the exercises,
firing several volleys over the
graves of the dead soldiers The
weather was simply ideal and a
large crowd witnessed the exer-

passing out, but the loving and
patriotic sons and daughters will
continue to do honor to their
sacred memory.
A man named Smith was shot
and killed here this morning by
Mr.. Strong, manager for a dry

a printer by trade and was a,

Duluth owes the legislature Of
this state a good turn for being the
means of securing for that city a
great steel plant, which the steel
trust proposes to install there at an
initial expenditure of five or six
millions Of dollars. Had not the
legislature given the trust scare
by the introduction of the tonnage
tax measure, the steel trust would
never have promised to be good and
give Duluth and Minnesota the in
dustries they should have had by
rights some years ago. If the bill
failed to pass, it worked as a pretty
good bluff.

jim HILL AND JAY GOULD.
Paul Satzke in Every body 5.

When Jim" Hill, rank outsider"
in the railroad game, was building
the Great Northern, he ran up
against the hostile influence Of Jay
Gould, then in control of the Union
Pacific. Gould's influence at Wash
ington was keeping Hills road out
Of government land in the north
west. Ordinarily a quiet man, Hill
was tiger when angry. In one OF
these RACES Hill started for New
York to interview and reason with
Gould. That gentleman, jumping
carelessly to the conclusion that the
man from the northwest had come
to capitulate, admitted him joyously
to his presence. In ten minutes the
enraged visitor had delivered him
self Of stream of language that
reduced the great wizard Of Wall
street to a limp, shivering heap.
Then he got down to the real bust
nese of the day in words something
like this:
You've played the " hog in
this matter just as long as you are
going to be permitted. Unless you
call off your " Washington bush

The killed, wounded and missing
casualties of the present session of
the legislature will certainly be
large. Not to speak of a few hun
dred bills that deserved to die, a
number of measures that promised
large things in the way of reform
have already died the death, and the
list is growing. Already the ton
mage tax bill, the county option bill
and the referendum bill are down and
out. But as a possible offset, the two

reciprocal demurrage bill will be-
come laws that is, if they are not
knocked out in the courts, as the
railroads will do their best to bring

Farnham & Jacobs, publishers of
the Madison Press, dissolved part
nership the first Of this month, Mr..
Jacobs retiring. Editor Farnham
has been at the editorial helm of the
paper for about twenty-five years,
and is writer of force and in
dividuality. Mr.. Jacobs, according
to a contemporary, has not been
making money fast enough, which
is quite common condition among
newspaper men, and we hope that
he may be able to strike a good field
for his activities, as he has visited
here in days gone by and we know
him to be a good fellow. 1t takes a
pretty good newspaper business to
make two partners rich nowadays at
the same time-or even single pro-
prietor, for that matter.

kato brought out statement in one
of the papers Of that city that while
the population of that municipality
increased only little over eight
hundred in ten years from 10,173
in 1895 to 1926 in 1OO5-the tax
levy had increased from $50, 900 to
70, 900 nearly double in the same
time. Redwood Falls can certainly
show better record Of gain in per
centage of population than that,
but can hardly line up in the rate of
increase of tax levy.

The New Ulm Review enters a
protest because the reapportionment
bill as introduced into the house last
week puts Brown and Waterman
counties in the same senatorial dis
trict, whereas Redwood county is set
off as a district by itself. By
consulting the map it is apparent
that the area of Brown and Walton
wan counties combined is only slight
ly larger than that of Redwood
county. Ultimately the two districts
would have approximately the same
population. LeSueur and Nicollet
are given one senator, as re also
Scott and Sibley, each county hav-
ing its own representatives. These
are also populous counties.

Representative Bendixen, from the
special committee to investigate the
states rights in pine and mineral
lands last week, introduced a bill
fixing royalties on state mineral

and this bill is designed to put them
back, with a substitute for the old

The death of Mrs. Osler, the
widow of the Rev. F. G. Osler, at
Toronto, Canada, last week, was not
only notable for the fact that she
was in the 1O1st year of her age,
but interest was also added from
the fact that she was the mother of
DR.. VIM. Osler. The latter, it will
be remembered, propounded the
doctrine that the initiative disap-
peared in a person at forty, and
that the usefulness of a person end
ed at sixty years of age. 1t is peril
nent to mention that DIR. Osler's
father, diligent pastor, died at his
work when past ninety years, and
that Mrs. Osler was far more active
in brain in her more mature years
and retained full possession of her
faculties to the end. Thus DIR. Os-
ler's theory receives a sweeping con-
tradiction from his parental hearth.

The venerable Mrs. Charlotte O.
VanCleve, who has honored Red
wood Falls with her presence on two
occasions, died on the first instant
at her home in Minneapolis. Mrs.
VanCleve was the first white child
born in the then territory of Wis
consin, and was named Charlotte
Ouisconsin, the latter name being
the original Indian title from which
the state derived its name. Mrs.
VanCleve was born at Fort Craw-
ford, now Prairie du Chen, in 1919,
the daughter of Lieut.. Clark of the
U. S. army. The expedition with
Lieut.. Clark proceeded to Mendoza
in this state, Fort Smelling being
established by the same detachment
the summer following. In her girl
hood Mrs. VanCleve saw Andrew
Jackson at the time that he was a
candidate for the presidency, and
after her marriage to Lieut.. Van
Cleve, Capt. Zachary Taylor was q
visitor at the post. In brief, Mrs,
VanCleve's eventful life covers the
large and eventful part of the his.

eral, and afterwards was an adju

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of so Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Bright's Disease.
1t Is Easily Durable In the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive tc human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- ton is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many piiysi- cians are of indifferent or doubtful value. and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The-wiscst course is to apply 8 Grsf abttayance of the symptoms. A little uneasincss i'll the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder i'll the urinary organs are matters of small moment i'll the estima- ton of strong men and women, yet they have serious meaning. They show clearly that inc kidneys are suffering and need help, wfic1, must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per- haps fatal consequences. few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalculablc Value ill restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar ill bottle of Pricl>ly Ash Biitcrs when the disease i- yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars in doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself iii the body. The excellent curative power of rrickly Ash Bittcts is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally eficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as a last resort, ill cases that dcGed their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and it has shown its superiority over the many so-called kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances innu. merable.
