Headache
For Years

81 keep DR.. Miles Anti Pain
Pills on hand all the time, and
would not think of taking a
journey without them, no mat
ter how short a distance l am
going. / have a sister that has
had terrible headaches for years,
and l coaxed her to try them
and they helped her so much,
she now keeps them by her all
the time. From my own exper-
fence I cannot. praise them
enough" a..
MRS. LOU M. CHURCHILL,
O. High ST., Penacook, N. H.
Many persons have headache
after any little excitement or ex-
ertion. They cannot attend
church, lectures, entertainments,
or ride on trains without suffer
ing. Those who suffer in this
way should try DR.. Miles Anti
Pain Pills. They give almost
instant relief without leaving
any d~isagreeable after-effects, as
they do not derange the stomach
or bowels; just a pleasurable
sense of relief follows their use.

HINTS TO Those WHO ARE SENDING
PACKAGES TO FRIENDS AT DISTANCE

At the postoffice they are making
their annual plea to the public to
get there are early as possible with
their Christmas packages.
The officials point out the fact that
by cooperation between public and
employees, more satisfactory results
may be obtained all around.
Parcels being sent to distant
points will be so much more sure Of
reaching their destination OH time if
brought there now. The clerks state
that it is astonishing to view the num-
Der of people who wait until the very
day or so before Christmas and then
appear at the windows with packages
which they expect to have reached
California or Maine in time for the
festival.
They also issue suggestions as to
the wrapping os Christmas gifts, urg-
ing the point that as the coverings
are so liable to become torn in the
heavy rush of the holiday season, il
will be more satisfactory all around
if precaution is taken in the matter
of securing heavy paper and of tying
them up WELL
Postmasters have been instructed
that parcels not properly wrapped
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1909-12-10

must not be accepted for mailing.
The limit OF weight applicable to
parcels admissible to the parcels post
mails between this country and Den
mark has been fixed at eleven pounds
and the value $50 Heretofore the
weight limit has been four pounds.
The rated postage between Hawaii
and Germany is now 2 cents per ounce
or fraction.
The only foreign countries to
which letters can be sent at the do
nestle rate of cents an ounce are
Great Britain, and Ireland, Germany
New Foundland, Canada, Cuba, Mexi-
co and Panama; and for all other
foreign countries the rate of postage
for letters is 5 cents for the first
ounce and cents for each additional
ounce. The only foreign countries to
which domestic rates for articles
other than letters extend are Cuba
Canada, Mexico and Panama, and
they must not be sealed.

HINXY'S ORGY is PUT IN BAD
| Mayor and Aldermen Declare 1t an
Insult to Common Decency.

Chicago, Dec. S.-The movement to
stop the first ward ball, an annual
event, got a big start today following
the grilling of Aldermen Coughlin and
Kenna by Mayor Busse and the city
council Monday night, on account of
their annual orgy, termed by their
brother aldermen ii "saturnalia of deg
radiation
Heretofore the Bath House" and
'tfinky Dink" have worried little over
the efforts to stop their annual ball"
and met all the protests of reformers
and public-spirited citizens by saying
they can't stop it," But the pair were
greatly embarrassed" as "Hinky' put
it. when the mayor and aldermen is
sued terrific arraignment against
them
Coughlin and Kenna sat at their
desks and listened while they were be-
ing called promoters ''of an affair that
was an insult to every decent woman
in Chicago, given in open and motor
ious disregard of decency"
Kenna was just about to say few
words, when he was clapped down by
citizens in the gallery
Today the resolutions will be printed
and passed about the city in an effort
to arouse public sentiment

Today, the second day of the con-
vention, the Bridge and Buildings
Builders Brotherhood, composed of en-
ployes of railroads, engaged in build
ing bridges and railroad buildings,
elected the following officers for the
year 1910.
Mr.. F. w. Hayden of Glencoe, Mimi,
was honored by being elected grand
foreman. Mr.. B. Ellis of Green Bay,
Wis, was elected vice grand foreman.
Mr. W. G. Wheeler of North McGregor,
Iowa, became grand secretary and
treasurer and Mr.. E. E. Clothier of
Perry, Ia, was elected editor of the
Iofricial paper and also became press
iagent for the organization.
''This brotherhood is the only or
'ganization of its kind in existence, said
Mr. L. Z. Clothier this morning when
interviewed by a Free Press reporter.
1.-The purpose of this organization is
to bring closer together the men en-
gagged in doing this work for the rail
roads of the United States, not as a
labor union, because we are not af-
ltiliated in any way with labor organi-
zation whatsoever, but more in So
cial way so as to acquaint ourselves
with each other and assist the famil-
les of deceased members, should they
be i'll need of such assistance. We
have money enough in the treasury to
lend this assistance. This money was
not collected by popular subscription,
but every member pays a monthly
due"

Carlos Avery, Executive Agent,
Is to be Succeeded BY a
Republican
That is the Program That Has
Been Mapped Out; The
Candidates

St. Paul, Dec. ga new executive
agent of the state game and fish COM
mission will be named shortly after
Jan. l, when the terms of Carlos
Avery, the present executive agent,
and j. H. Grill expire as members of
the commission. Unless the remaining
three members of the commission get
balky the new executive will be who
ever Governor Eberhart and his politi-
cal advisers desire it to be.
Two New Men to Be Named.
eve are going to name two mem
bers of the board to succeed the two
whose terms expire and designate one
of them as executive agent" said
Ralph Wheelock, the governors pri-
vate secretary, yesterday.
Technically the executive agent is
named by the board and must be a
member of the board According to
the legislative manual the term of
Carlos Avery as a member of the
board does not expire until next year,
but employees at the governors office,
in looking up the record, discovered
that there had been an error and that
his term expires the first week of next
month. Had his term on the board
been longer he would probably have
been retained as executive agent, but
under the presetn situation he will be
out of that job as soon as the gov
ernOr names his successor on the
board, and the board will be likely to
name whoever the governor wants.
There has been some talk to the eff
feet that 0. j. johnson, who has held
over since Van SAINT was governor,
would stand with Robert Hannah and
IL. A. Vessel, the two democrats who
hold over, and elect johnson as ex-
ecutive agent. But the people at the
governors office do not believe that
he will do this.
C. S. Benson May Be Appointed.
G. S. Benson of st. Cloud, at present
superintendent of construction under
| the state drainage commission, is
talked of as probable member of the
new board, and it is said that he is
slated to become executive agent.
| Mr.. Avery, the present executive
agent, said yesterday that reports that
he was a candidate for superintendent
OF fisheries, now held by Sam F. Full
lerton, We're unfounded, and that ne
would not accept any subordinate posi-
ton under the board. ~

BRIDGE BUILDERS Mt a MEET;
OBJECT OF THE ORGANIZATION

"All our members joined our broth
erhood voluntarily. We don't demand
that every man engaged in this trade
working for the railroads become a
member, because as | told you we
don't belong to any labor organization
at all, and, therefore, anybody may
work for the railroads, at this trade,
so far as we are concerned whether a
member of our organization or not, "
continued Mr.. Clothier. 'At present
we have over twelve hundred members
and over fifteen district lodges"
When asked as to the purpose of the
convention, Mr.. Clothier replied: ''The
purpose of this convention is to bring
together delegates sent from the dis
trict lodges, they to bring before the
meeting ideas and suggestions, en-
dorsed by the district lodges, concern
ing the welfare of the whole organi-
cation. This is our second day in
convention and we cannot say how
long it will be before all the business
will be transacted. 1t may possibly
last another day or we may be through
tonight"
The local district lodge No. 6 en-
tertained the delegates last night with
a high class entertainment, also a
banquet table was spread after the
program was rendered, in the Sons of
Herman hall. About seventy five peo-
