Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Abbeville People Know
How to Save It.

Many Abbeville people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick Kidneys are RESPONSE
BILE for vast amount of suffering and
ill health, but there is no need to suf.
fer nor to remain in danger when all
diseases and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per-
manently cured by the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. Here is an Abbeville
citizens recommendation:
A. B. Ellis, living at 306 Calhoun
Street, Greenwood. s. c., Gays:

ing severely from pains across the
small of my back and had noticed
that my kidneys were very irregu-
lar in action. AS I did not improve
under the DOCTORS treatment 1 pro-
cured box of Doan's Kidney Pills
through the advice of a friend.
After using them short time the
trouble disappeared. and I have
been free from the annoyance since.
I do not hesitate to recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills to other suf-
ferers."

FACTS ABOUT new Theory !
SECURED BY INTERVIEWS.
People Tell the Reason for Their Faith In
COOper's Belief.

An article from the Nashville, Tenn,
Banner, published during L. T. Coop
er's visit to that city. throws some
light on the remarkable success Of the
young mans theories and medicines
in various cities visited by him during
the past year. The article is as fol-
lows:
I'm view Of the enormous sale of
Cooper's preparations now going on In
this city and the, intense interest
which Mr.. Cooper has stirred up since
his arrival, a representative OF the
Banner spent Thursday afternoon at
the young mans headquarters, watch
ing the swarm Of humanity come and
go.
During the afternoon the reporter
interviewed many of the callers and
obtained statements from all who
cared to give them as to their expe-
rience with Cooper and his prepara'
tions.
'"The following are selected from
those statements as being typical of
the general expression Of the people
seen:
"Mr. B. B. Lasater. living at 1924
North Fourth avenue, when inter.
viewed, said: I have been troubled
with my stomach for the past two
years, and have had rheumatism for
more than five years. Sometimes I
could not walk, and there were times
when could not even move in bed.
Hard knots would form on my mus.
cles, which caused me intense pain.
Gas formed on my stomach after eat
ing. which gave me much pain and
distress, and often I was restless and
tossed all night, losing much sleep and
rest.

great work his medicine was accom-.

Mr.. Cooper certainly has q wonderful
medicine, and I am grateful for what
It has done for me-
Another caller was Mrs. T. ].
Smith, of sos Hudson street. She
said: 4 have been a sufferer from
bladder and kidney trouble for twenty
five years. In that time 7 have tried
many prescriptions and various kinds
of medicine, but received little or no
benefit from them. I seldom had
sound nights sleep. my rest being bro
ken at intervals throughout the night.
I had pains in my back and burning
sensations.
"I heard so much of Mr.. Cooper
that I came to the conclusion he mignt

about 8 week, and feel better In every

I have no distress whatever. / have

physicians that Cooper Is a fad who
will soon die out, the young man seems
to be gaining even greater headway as

ROBBERYAND ATTEMPTED MURDER
Mountain Lake Officer Badly Woun-
ded in Struggle with
Desperadoes.

Four highwaymen entered butcher
shop at Mountain Lake Monday after
noon, robbed the place of all the cash
they could lay their hands on and
then tried to make good their escape.
News of the robbery spread rapidly
and the village marshal Immediately
started ia pursuit of the desperadoes,
overtaking them near the stock yards
on the outskirts of the town.
A desperate encounter ensued be-
twe cen the thieves and the officer and in
the fight the marshal was stabbed ir
the abdomen. The wound was perhaps
eight inches in length and of such 9
nature that the bowels were exposed
Citizens came to his aid about this
time and the robbers were finally
captured
Feeling runs high over the aft all
and it looks as if it might go HARD
with the culprits.

THE CONSOLIDATED is NOT SOLD
No Change Whatever in the Status
of the Company Organized
i'm New UIm.

The story, originating in a local
paper, to the effect that the Consolida-
ted Casualty Co. of Minneapolis, the
concern in which SO many New Ulmites
are interested, had been sold to cor.
poration doing a similar business in
Philadelphia is without found ation.
True, certain of the stockholders
contemplated disposing of their stock,
move, which even if carried into ex-
ecution would in no way have altered
the status of the company, but to date
no transfers have been made and it
isn't at all probable that there will be.
All negotiations to this end have been
dropped and the Consolidated will
continue to do business at the old
stand as of yore.

Welded Fifty Years.

At the Turner Hall last evening the
members Of the Turnverein and Turner
Frauenverein joined with Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank friedman in celebrating
the fftieth anniversary of their we'd
ding. 1t was a pleasant affair; in
fact, one long to be remembered. Capt.
Burg and Capt. Steinhauser made
ngratulatory speeches, and friends
We'd with each other in offering best
wishes. Mr.. and Mrs. friedman ac-
cepted it all with a spirit of happiness
that was complete. And why not?
Not oftea does it fall to the lot of a
married couple to round out fifty
years of welded life surrounded by
loving children and devoted friends,
and not often does it happen that
people live two score of years in one
community and at the end of that long
time enjoy the confidence and good
will of all. Happiness with such peo-
pie is deserved.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fried mann were mar
ried in Indiana in 1858 and came to
New Ulm in 1867. Five of the child
rem born to them are still living and

bration. They are: Mrs. Philip Knees

new INDUSTRY FOR new ULM.
Atlas Concrete Works to be Re-
moved from Hanska to
this City.
Plant will be Located Near the
Aufderheide Brickyards.

o. A. Johnson and A. r. Eggens-
perger of Hanska were IN the city last
week and with local capitalists ar
ranged deal whereby the Atlas Con-
crete Works, now a Hanska institu-
ton, is to be numbered among the
growing industries of New Ulm.
Sufficient stock was subscribed here
to give the New Ulm men the control
ling interest and the plan for remov al
will be carried into effect without
delay.
A suitable building will be erected
near the Aufderheide brickyards, in
close proximity to the side-tracks OF
both the Northwestern and Minneapo-
lis 81 ST. Louis, and as soon as this is
completed the machinery of the Hans
ka plant will be installed therein.
In Hanska the plant has been a
thriving one, but the owners found il
necessary to seek new location or
account of the almost prohibitive cos
of securing sand and gravel. No diff.
fculties of this kind should be expert
enced here and the industry ought tc
be success from the start.
The Atlas Concrete Works of New
Ulm will be capitalized for 800. 900 an6
will employ from eight to ten men al
the year round.
Nothing can be said at this time as
to who will be the officers.

Office of governor that ought not, it
seems to me, to appeal very strongly
to our citizenship. Besides, that par
ty in its platform and in its conven-
ton utterly ignored those questions
which, in my Judgment, are most vital
to the interests of the people of this
state at the present time.
Hammond in his reply said he pre-
ferred to run for congress again and
wanted no effort made to secure for
him the gubernatorial nomination,
but he also stated that if nominated
with entire unanimity he would con-
slider it his duty to accept. He gave
as his reason for desiring to return to
congress his belief that he ought to
stay there and help oppose "Uncle
Joe' Cannon. On this point he wrote
Mr.. Lind as follows:
''The assumption of power by the
| speaker of the house of representa-
tives to defeat legislation demanded
| by the people is maintained by the
course of subservient majority in
supporting him and his legislative ma
chine in congress. In my opinion, the
people of this district will not favor
the election of candidate to represent
them in congress unless he makes it
clear to them that he will go to Wash
ington as a representative of the peo-
pie of this district and not as a servile
follower of Speaker Cannon and his
arrogant and reactionary system"
