CUT THIS OUT
AND SAVE IT
Says Many Persons Here Can Be
Made Happy Again.

There is so much Rheumatism
here in our neighborhood now that
the following advice by an eminent
authority, who writes for readers
of a large Eastern daily, will be
highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy
one half ounce Fluid Extract Dan
delion, one ounce Compound Kar-
gon, three ounces of Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, Shake these
we'll in a bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime; also drink plenty Of
good water. It is claimed that
there are few victims of This dread
and t%orturous disease who will fail
to find ready relief in this simple
homemade mixture, and in most
cases a permanent cur is the re-
suit.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimin-
alive tissues of the Kidneys SO that
theyAcan filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids
and waste matter. which cause not
only Rheumatism, but numerous
other diseases. Every man or wo-
man here who feels that their kid
neys, are not healthy and active, or
who suffers from any urinary
trouble whatever, should not hest
tate to make up this mixture, as it
is certain to do much good, and
may save you from much misery
and suffering after a while.
Our home druggists say they
will either supply the ingredients
or mix the prescription ready to
take if our readers ask them.

Senator Hansbrough wants the
law providing for reserve cities
amended SO as to give a
chance for the states having small
cities to keep their banking re-
serves at home, and he has intro
duced a bill accordingly.
Under the law as it now stands
the reserve cities must have at least
25, 1000 inhabitants. This shuts out
both the Dakotas, Idaho and Wyo-
ming. Senator Hansbrough wants
the law to provide that in states
not having cities as large as 25,OOO
the reserves may be kept in cities
of 10000.

A dozen of the members from
Pace drove in to the services at

Two funerals were conducted
last week. Mrs. John A. Sheldon

plenty of room for the crowds altho
the house was quite we'll filled Sun
day night.
Rev. A. w. Brown our pastor at
Center has been helping in the
meetings this week. Washburn
greatly needs a spiritual awaken
ing, that will strengthen the church
and greatly increase the interest of
the people in spiritual things.
Certainly this is not an impossible
undertaking. Let every one help.
There we're 50 in the Sunday

Help Along

Fifteen Thousand Dollar
School Building Within
Reach of Phoebe.

Seldom in our history, and
never in recent years, have peo-
pie been given such an opportu-
nifty to work for the betterment
of Phoebe as is afforded in the
recent move for a new school
building. This can work itself
out in numerous ways. We have
confronting US the possibility of
several towns within a radius of
a few miles. Cannot these be
centralized into one city of inn
portance ? We think the plan is
feasible. The Bristol and Jack
Rabbit districts, with proper
transportation facilities, are but
a short ride from Phoebe. 1t is
certain that hundreds of men
will be employed there. Can we
not, by affording exceptional
educational facilities induce these
men to establish their families in
Phoebe, and thus add greatly to
our immediate population and
make one city of proportions in
stead of several good sized
camps /? What we have said, of
course, is not a question of i'm.
mediate concern, but the effect
of the proper action at this time
may have far-reaching effects IL
future.

Will Build
To Erect Hall and Reading
Room On Cedar Street

The local miners union have
completed arrangements for the
erection of a hall and reading
room in the immediate future.
A site has been secured on Cedar
street, directly opposite the John
Cook residence. According to
the plans of the building, there
will be a basement or lower
story consisting Of a room 30x3O,
this will be used as a smoking
and recreation room. The upper
room will be 3Ox6O and will be
occupied as a hall, reading room
and for entertainments.
The reading room will be well
supplied with literature dealing
with all subjects, and the public
will be accorded the use of these
free of charge. The reading
room will surely prove a source
of great convenience to the gen.
eral public, as well as affording
the opportunity for the cultiva-
ton of the mind, and great
credit is due the local union for
the enterprise shown.

NO new FIGHT ON RATE LAW
Railroad Attorneys Decide That Recent
Decision Covers Only Penalty
Feature of Law.

st. Paul, April A. That the rail-
roads will take no action at present
toward restoring the Scent passenger
fare in Minnesota is practically as
sured from the conclusion reached at
conference of the attorneys of the
railroads having headquarters in st.
Paul. While no announcement has
been made of any direct decision on
this question, it follows from the con-
illusions of the attorneys that the re-
cent decision of the United States SUI
preme court held invalid only the pen
atty feature of the Minnesota rate
laws and does not cover the entire
laws.
The railroad lawyers as well as the
states attorneys were not clear at
first as to the scope of the decision,
but both have now reached the same
conclusion There was a general
agreement at the conference Of the
railway attorneys that while the pen
atty feature of the law has been de-
clared unconstitutional, the question:
remains to be determined whether
the rates themselves are just.
The situation regarding the 2-cent
fare. therefore, has not been changed
by the decision, and SO far as Minne4
sofa is concerned the railroads are in.
no better position to restore the old
fare than they were before the deci4
sion. Whatever is done in other
states, nothing is likely to be done in
Minnesota at present.
