This Evidence Should Prove Every
Claim Made for Doan's Kidney

I Relief from the pains and aches of
a bad back is always welcome to every
-backache sufferer; but to cure a lame,
weak Tor aching hack is what's wanted
Cure it so it will stay cured. 1t can
be done. Here's the strongest evidence
to prove it:
John Wircking, living at 42l Second
ST., North Mankato, Mimi, says: "My
business takes me on long rides and
the result was that my back and kid
neys were affected from the Earring
and jolting, and | have suffered a
great deal on this account. My back
would get so tired at times and the
pains would be so intense that towards
nightfall I would hardly be able to
move about, and 1 got little sleep.
Every jar and jolt went straight to
my back and though | doctored and
doctored, wore pasters and used lini-
ments, nothing did me much good. |
was nearly discouraged when a friend
advised me to use Doan's Kidney Pills
and / got some at j. c. Thro's drug
store. l had used only a few doses
when / began to realize that they were
helping me, and the aching began to
grow less. j continued taking them
and the result is that my back has not
ached for months. | can heartily re-
commend Doan's Kidney Pills"

have been long used for the purpose in
the old Willard building. Something
should be done along this line. Follow.

DIR. Edwards motion having been
withdrawn, Mr.. Snow said that the
meeting ought not to adjourn before
something was done.
Professor Nettleton said that every
man had come to the meeting feeling
that there ought to be change in
the management of city affairs. If the
club starts an agitation that will re-
suit i'm a new city charter it win
have done well.
Uncle Sans Help.
Dr. Edwards suggested that if an
appeal was made to the government,
the United States marine service would
undoubtedly send a sanitary engineer
to the city to assist for. three or four
months. He knew of one in Iowa
What was necessary was to establish
confidence in the city. The water
system ought to be made right before
the 1000 students come to attend
school. Water coolers should be sup
piled all over town. He would pre-
sent figures at the meeting of the
Boosters club tonight, showing what
they will cost. and tomorrow com
m.ttee would go out among the mer-
chants and ask them to buy water
coolers. Then 1T can be advertised
that there is pure water anywhere in
the city to drink.
Mr.. Palmer said that this was a
mighty good plan. He was in favor
of making a canvass of the hotels and
restaurants to see if any of them
were not using pure water.
Mr.. Jessup wanted to see things
move, along faster, but Mr.. Palmer
thought that DR.. Bjelland was doing
all that could be done, and there was
no need to wire for government en-
gineer DIR. Ewards should inform DIR.
Bjelland if he knows of competent
man who can be gotten.
Dr. Edwards said that DIR. Bielland
has not the time TO devote to the
work because of his practice. There
should be man WHO would give all Of
his time.
Committee Appointed.
David Richards moved that COM
mittee be appointed to wait upon DIR.
Bielland and suggest some of the
things that had been brought up. He
felt that the work should be pushed
along and the best people be secured
to help. The motion was changed to
name as the committee President Ny
quist and DR.. Edwards, at the sug
gestion of DIR. Holman, and was car
ried. !, a

who lives about two miles southea st
of Truman, Monday afternoon which it
is feared will cost him his life
He was moving steam threshing
outfit and himself running the engine.
when the platform on which he stood
gave way, and he fell down between
one of the drive wheels and the tender.
He was beyond reach of the throttle
and the machinery kept on moving,
grinding the unfortunate man terribly
in the horrible death trap. ~
The little ten year old son of Mr..
Beadle was riding on the tender and
proved to be a quick witted young
hero. He saw at glance that his
father would be killed unless the en-
CINE was stopped and FASTENED from
the tender on to the engine and shut
off the steam, bringing the wheels to
a stop none too soon.
Mr.. Beadles flesh was lacerated
and torn from the shoulder to the hip,
and the hip crushed and broken so that
if his life is spared it is believed that
he will be a cripple for life.
DR.. Hunte of Truman was sent for
and taking George Foster with him was
soon at the bedside of the injured
man. The doctor discovered that he
must have help and phoned for DR..
Holman of Mankato, who arrived in
an automobile at about six o'clock.
The physicians did all that was pos
sible for the injured man and Tuesday
morning took him to Mankato where
an operation will be performed on the
injured hip and he will be cared for
at the hospital. .'iii
Mr., Beadle is. one of the well
known and PROSPEROUS farmers of that
section of the county and he will
have the sympathy of all in the COM
munity in his misfortune and great
suffering. 5ilfs9ti en-. eaN@a ~

Enlarge Committees Field.

Rev. +. w. WlllSford gave an eX-
cellent talk, that was well received.
He said that several weeks ago he had
suggested. that a citizens committee be
appointed to consider the whole mat
ter, and had offered this from his pull
pit at the time The city had been
handicapped both by its men and
the charter. A committee had been
appointed, but all that it could do
was to look into the past and not the
future. There was very little for it to
do. There might be some little salts
faction to place the responsibility for
what had occurred, but more impor-
'tantant duty confronts us now. Gal
weston had similar experience at the
time of the flood, and the citizens saw
that a change was needed and evolved
the Galveston plan of city government,
Which many cities have since adopted,
among them Des Moines, Iowa. Heads
of departments are had who are re-
sponsbile and everybody knows just
where to find the responsible head. If
it was possible to enlarge the scope
of the committee it ought to be done.
The time has come when the politician
is mighty dead man in Mankato. He
doesn't peep now. The committee
ought to look at the future as well
as into the past. The club ought to
ask the mayor to enlarge the scope
of the committees work ito fit the
needs of the case. 1t should investi-
gate what form of government is best
for the interests of the city. Gap

Fiction that may come along other lines

motion was carried.
Mains Will Be Cleaned.

Mains Will Be Cleaned.
E. G. Wickersham was called upon
to explain his method of flushing the
water mains, which he did very clear
ly. He said that there are ninety
gates in the water system, and a
knowledge of the location of these, is
the first essential. He had fuhed the
mains one way and then backwards,
with force enough to clean the walls
of the pipes. He worked the mains
in series, one line of pipe at time,
shutting off all others. A little piece
of red sediment would color thousand
gallons of water, and was not harm
full but the water is allowed to run
until it comes out clear. 1t takes five
days to 60 over the city and three
men are employed.
Mr.. Snow moved that the club give
a vote of thanks to President Nyquist
for the time and efficient work that
he had given toward having the water
system properly flushed, and this was
carried.
In reply to questions, Mr. Wicker
sham said that he was using all of the
men that he could. He would go
faster if there was more water. The
mains had never before been flushed

to Salida by DR.. F. N. Carrier Wednes-
day night suffering from appendicitis
and was operated on at the hospital
there this morning for the removal Of
the source of trouble. A telephone
message from Salida this forenoon
stated that Mr.. Lewis was recovering
from the effects of the anesthetic and
was getting along as we'll as could be
expected under the circumstances. Mr..
Lewis was as well as usual until We'd
nesday when he was seized with very
severe pains in the stomach, which
his physician pronounced the result
OF appendicitis. Mrs. Lewis left this
afternoon for the bedside Of her hus-
band. taking with her Miss Myrtle
Shank who will endeavor to nurse the
unfortunate man back to health and
strength. Unexpected complications
were encountered by the surgeons in
Mrs. Lewis case and it is reported
that there is more than a possibility
OF the development of peritonitis.
