The Trust at Bird Island.

It seems that the management of
the Minnesota Central Telephone
Co., or Northwestern, is not at all
particular about conducting local
exchange in this village; in fact,
the patrons have been aware of this
for some time past but have not
seriously considered the matter un-
til that company began charging
the local people ten cents on all
messages over the farmers lines on
May 1. This matter had been
fought out with the company two
years ago when the concession of
free service over the farmers line
was granted. AS soon as the local
patrons were made aware Of the
new order, things became warm
and meeting was called for Mon
day night at which the matter was
discussed thoroly. The meeting
was organized with DR.. F. L. Puff
fer as chairamn and H. w. Mielke
as secretary. Mr.. Kast, repre-
sentative of the Tri-State Telephone
Co. from Minneapolis, was present
and gave some facts and figures
about the organization of an indie
pendent exchange. C. A. Helms,
B. F. Byers and Judge Of Probate
Gage ofaOlivia, were also present
and gave their opinions Of the fea-
sibility of an independent exchange
to take in Bird Island, Olivia and
Renville, also favoring a consolida-
tion of all independent exchanges
in the county. After the matter
had been discussed it was thought
that the time for organization of
such a company is at hand and the
chairman was instructed to appoint
committee to confer with Olivia
and Renville and the independent
exchanges now in operation in the
county and report to a meeting
which will be called in the near fu-
ture. Messrs. Frank Murray, A.
j. Richardson, M. E. Crockett and
C. F. Neitzel were appointed on
the committee. The Union under
stands that the local exchange is
for sale, but Mr.. Helms of Olivia
thought that it would be better to
put in new outfit and let the trust
keep its material. Seven phones
were ordered out of the local ex-
change up to Tuesday morning and
if it is decided to put in an inde-
pendent exchange the Minnesota
Central will have but little use for
! its outfit here. Bird Island Union.

SCOVHL LECTURE
State PreSfdentv0f w. e.. T. u.
Will Speak al Free
Church Sunday.

Mrs. Bessie Laythe Scovell, State
President of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union will give an
address on Sunday, May II, at three
O'Clock p. M. in the Lutheran Free
church. A union of all the church.
es is desired, and it is hoped that
the church will be filled to it's ut
most capacity. Everybody is well
come. The subject of the address
will be: ''Watchman, What of the
Night?"
MRS. Scovell has peen Connected
with the w. C. T. U. for % years,
and for the last twelve years has
given her entire time to this noble
work. She served as state secre-
tary for seven years, and for three
years was editor of the state paper,
the White Ribboner. Since 1897
she has served as state president.
She has an intense love for the peo-
pie, and she believes that the sa-
loon is the greatest enemy of the
individual. the home, the church,
the state and the nation. Hence
she believes in giving her life to
fight the saloon she is giving the
greatest service to all these which
she so keenly loves.
.''Regardless of beliefs or politi-
cal affiliations, all who were so for
tunate as to hear Mrs. Scovell's lee.
ture Friday night agree that it was
indeed rare treat. Bessie Laythe
Scovell has the rare gift of clear,
distinct pronunciation, coupled
with a rapid flow of language.
Her ability to take all her hearers
with her, gliding smoothly from
one branch of her subject to an
other, is remarkable. Her plea for
more fraternity among men, more
love for all humanity, more SYM
pathy for the children, a greater
respect for the parent, more unity
among churches, more of the real
Christ love for the erring, interwo-
ven with a most vivid portrayal of
the sins of humanity against their
fellow men, blended with sarcasm,
pathos and an appeal FIR a higher
life, failed not to create in the
hearts of her hearers desire to
live upon that higher plane of NOR
atty. Her arraignment off the liq-
uor traffic and the Individual re-
sponsibility all sustain to it, COM
bined with a brief account of the
work of the w. C. T. u, was most
interesting. Madison Lake Trib-
une.
1.-The principal feature of the
evening service was the address by
Mrs. Scovell. She is a very fore
ible as we'll as pleasing speaker. At
times she is eloquent with a remark
able command of language together
with an earnestness born of inspira-
tion that carries conviction to the
hearts of her hearers. .''-Janesville

SUDDEN DEATH
AT ATWATER
MANAGER of the AtWater Roller
Mills is Suddenly Called
From This Life.

Mills is Suddenly called
From This Life.
Peter Boyle of Atwater died very
suddenly last Saturday even ing,
about eight o'clock. He had been
working very hard during the day,
as the mill had done a big business
on account of offering special in
ducements, and it is possible that
the excitement and hard work con-
tributed to bring about his sudden
death. When the mill closed down
for the night at about seven o clock,
Mr.. Boyle was sitting at his desk
and complained of being tired.
The miller, Mr.. Juhl, tried to per-
suade him to 60 over to supper, but
he said he didn't want to 60 just
yet, that he was tired and wanted
to rest. When Mr.. Juhl returned
as soon as possible from his supper
he found MIR. Boyle still sitting in
his chair as if asleep. Mr.. Juhl
became alarmed and tried to rouse
him, but could not. He hurried
out and found one of the other
workmen at the mill and they called
a doctor as soon as possible, but
when the doctor arrived he found
Mr.. Boyle dead. On account of
the sudden death, the doctor
thought it best to communicate
with the coroner and, altho it was
hardly necessary, the coroner came
down the next day, but of course
found it unnecessary to hold an in
quest. The physicians were unable
to determine whether death had
been caused by heart disease or the
rupture of a blood vessel.
Peter Boyle, son of Mathew Bog
le and Janet Turnbull, was born at
Maukinfaulds, in the parish of
Shettleson, county Of Lanark, near
the city of GLASGOW, in Scotland, on
June 16, 1868, and was thus at the
time of his death a. years, 10
months and % days old. His boy
hood and early youth was spent in
and near Glasgow. His mother
died when he was but seven years
old. In the month of June, 1880,
accompanying his father, two
brothres and two sisters, he came
to America, first settling in Mime
apolis. The next year the family
moved to Granite Falls, and the de.
ceased continued to reside there un.
til August, 1898, when he moved to
Atwater, which place has been his
home since that time.
| On April l9, 1892, he was united
in marriage with Miss Leora Rich.
ardson, and to this union four chill.
dren were born, two Of whom died
in infancy, the other two, George
and Lee, surviving him. Besides
the two children, he leaves tc
mourn his departure, his wife, two
brothers and one sister, the three
latter being residents of Granite
Falls.
The funeral was held Tuesday
forenoon at 1890 o'clock, at the
residence. Rev. E. w. Akers o1
the Presbyterian church .offciated
The Masonic lodge and M. w. A
camp also took part in the cere
monies. The remains were take1
to Granite Falls for interment, tht
Masonic lodge attending in a body
and many Of the Woodmen also 60

Kidney Complaints.

Kidney diseases are generally found
In persons whose blood is impover-
ished or impure, and whose nerves
have not sufficient power or force to
make the kidneys perform their prop
er functions.
The duty OF the kidneys is to fllter
the blood, and when this fluid Is filed
with uric acid and malariaI poisons
they become overburdened with ex-
ira work. When tlls nerves are not
strong, they fail to supply the power
to do this work; then the kidneys be.
come clogged and disease sets IN.
Kidney complaints usually commence
with cold chills, especianyin the back
and loins, followed with fever and
pain. The pain extends to the blad-
der, loins and thighs. The urine be-
comes highly colored or extremely
light. 1t sometimes looks red or
blood-lilSe, with a brick dust sedi.
ment after standing; or It may be
stringy or milky and filed with nibu-
men. the most vital element OF the
body.
When these conditions are allowed
70 continue they result IN one or
more OF I he following conditions.
