The readers of this paper Will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and Mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun-
dalton of the disease. and giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they

that it fails to cure. Send for list Of

YOUNG LADY SCARED
WHAT WAS INTENDED AS A JOKE
TURNED OUT SERIOUSLY.
Miss Frieda Nelson Thought She Had
Discovered a Man Under the Bed;
1t Was Nothing But a Dummy,
But She Became Hysterical and
Created a Scene; NeighbOrs, Rush
in and Assist in Calming Her.

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned on North Broad street last even
inc as the result of practical joke
that was played upon a young lady
student. and which did not turn out
as the perpetrators had expected. Miss
Frieda Nelson. a student from near
Slayton attending the Mankato Com
mercial college, it appears, has enjoyed
PLAYING Jokes of a practical nature
upon her friends, and they thought
that they would return the compliment
last evening. She boards and rooms at
the home Of Charles w. Hoffman,
GlS North Broad street, and a mum
Der of her friends thought that they
would fix up little burglar scare for
her.
Made to Look Like Man.
Mr.. Hoffmans rain coat and few
other garments were so arranged under
the bed that they made a very realis-
tic burglar. The shoes were showing
just outside of the bed, and the trou-
sers and coat were filled out in due
proportion, and hat topped the
figure. and it would have frightened
lady of the strongest nerves, and
no doubt good many men, besides.
One Glance Was Enough
When Miss Nelson started to retire
at about eleven o'clock, she took one
glance at the portion of the dummy
that was in sight and fled precipi-
lately from the room, screaming, and
was hysterical for some time, III spite
of the efforts of those about her tC
calm her. The neighbors were attract
ed by the screams of the frightened
girl and some came in scanty attire
to ascertain the cause of the commo
ton.
Joke Miscarried Entirely.
The Joke miscarried entirely, anC
those who had planned it regretted
that they had attempted the joke, al
though none of them had, of course
anticipated any such serious outcome
Miss Nelson rapidly recovered, anC
was able to attend school today. She
is said to be of rather 4 nervous
disposition, and her fright was cor
respondingly great.
