lie school system, for he is a man who,
while knowing the needs of the city
schools, knows and appreciates the
wants of the rural schools, the bulwark
of the nation.
Speaking of him the Iowa State
Register says: "He is one of the most
unique and forceful characters in
state full of brainy men. AS the old
fashioned folks say, he has a way
about him. He gets personal hold
upon the children of the country and
the people he meets, not by any arti-
l,fcial effort to please, but by sheer
power Of his earnestness, his honesty,
his all-compelling, obstacle-removing
force. -
Educators write of him as follows:

mont and will abide with us many
day. We appreciate the grand service
you rendered this state"

Written Judgment Says Bulgin Was
Fraud.

The following clipping from the
Riverside California Daily Press of
Aug. 18th, refers to the Rev. E. j.
Bulgin, travelling evangelist who cut
such swath here few years ago.
A little incident which happened while
he was in Cresco satisfied us that he
was extremely selfish, and to say the
least, very careless in meeting his fl
nancial obligations, and we are not sur
prised at the California case.
1t is strange that people will go wild
over travelling evangehsts who hurl at
them abusive and vulgar remarks that
they would not tolerate for an instant
from their own pastors, whom they re-
quire to live lives of honesty and
decency. We believe that the money
spent on such as Bulgin will win more
souls to Christ if used solely through
the medium of local pastors and
churches.
Judge F. E. Densmore has filed a
written judgment and decree in the
case of F. K. and Ethelle M. Strasser
vs.. E. j. Bulgin aud Marea Bulgin,
corresponding to the oral decree de-
livered at conclusion of the trial. The
judgment sets forth that the exchange
of real property of said shares of stock
of the Kelso Mining and Milling Com
pany, and the conveyance and transfer
Of said lands by plaintiffs to Merea
Bulgin, was obtained through fraud
and deceit of the defendant. E. j. Bull
gin, and is therefore void.
The defendants are ordered to re-
grant and reconvey to the Strassers by
deed properly executed. the 2O-acre
alfalfa ranch which was thus obtained
from them by fraud, and in case they
fail to do so before August IA. County
Clerk A. B. Pilch, who is appointed
commissioner by the court for the pur
pose, is authorized and instructed to
make such reconveyance in the name of
the defendants, and that the instrument
so executed by him shall have the same
force and effect as if made and deliv-
cred by the Bulgins.
Clerk Pilch is also made commission
er to reconvey to the Bulgins to &C, 900
shares of Kelso stock traded for the
land, in case the Strassers fail to do so.
The Strassers also recover from de-
PENDANTS the cost of the suit, which
have been fixed at $3.50

RHEUMATIC FOLKS.

ARE You SURE YOUR KIDNEYS ARE
Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid in the blood. But the duty
OF the kidneys Is to remove all uric
acid from the blood. Its presence
there shows the kidneys are inactive.

day with them, but until you cure the
kidneys you will never get we'll.
Doan's Kidney Pills not only remove
uric acid, but cure the kidneys and
then all danger from uric acid is end

it.

WHEN THE KIDNEYS GIVE OUT

Do you ever feel that you simply can't go any further-that you must have rest for that lame and aching back-relief from that constant dead, tired feeling-freedom from those stabbing, darting pains?
 This is the condition that so often comes at middle age, bringing with it an extreme nervousness and irrita- bility that makes others think you cranky" and hard to get along with"
 Likely your kidneys are worn and tired and need help. In any ma chine there is one part that works the hardest and gives out first. The kid neys work night and day, removing from the blood the uric acid and other waste created by over use of strength and energy. Naturally a life of unusual activity doubles the duties of the kidneys, and in time the strain tells.
 With healthy kidneys one has a good chance to live long. but weak kidneys afflict old age with great dis comforts. The back becomes bent and lame, rheumatism is chronic, eye sight fails, and too frequent or involuntary passages of the urine cause embarrassment by day and loss of sleep at night.

Claiborne hauled up known banner.
 Me Pdo Here they are," called Claiborne and flung open the door as Shirley, her father and Baron von Marhof rode up under the billowing ensign. Dick stepped out to meet them and answer their questions.
 "Mr. Armltage is here. He has been hurt and we have sent for a doctor, but and he looked at Shirley.
 If you will do mo the honor to enter all of youl" And Armitnge came out quickly and smiled upon them.
 We had started off to look for Dick when we met your man." said Shirley, standing on the stsps, rein in hand.
 What has happened. and how was Armitags injured" demanded Judge Claiborne.
 There was a battle." replied Dick. grinning, land MT. Armitage got in the way of bullet"
 Her ride through the keen morning air had flooded Shirley's cheek with color. She had been awake much of the night. On returning from tho ball at tho inn she found Dick still absent, and when at G o'clock he had not re- turned she called her father, and they had Set of together for the hllls, to- ward which, the stableman reported, Dick had ridden. They had mot Os- car just outside the Springs and had returned to the hotel for Baron von Marhof. Having performed her onlce as guide and satisfied herself that Dick was safe. she felt her conscience eased and could see no reason why she should not ride home and leave the men to their council. Armltage saw her turn to her horse, whose nose was exploring her mackintosh pockets, and he stepped quickly toward her.
 You see, Miss Claiborne, your broth CT is quite safe. but very much hope you will not run away. There are some things to be explained which 1t is only fair you should hear."
