DAYS OF DIZZINESS
Come to Hundreds of Sduk Centre

There are days Of dizziness;
Spells of headache, sideache, back

Sometimes rheumatic pains; Often

All tell you plainly the kidneys are
sick.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills. g.:
Felix Come, living at SIP End St.,
N. E., Little Falls, Mimi, says: Give
years ago I had occasion to use Doan's
Kidney Pills. At that time l suffered
severely from kidney complaint and
would often have to lay off from work
for weeks at time. My back was so
weak and stiff that / was unable to
stoop to put on my shoes and at times
l could hardly stand upright. l suf-
fered from dizzy spells and was tired
most of the time. My head ached
and often spots would appear before
my eyes. l would be forced to arise
frequently at night to pass the kid
ney secretfons and on this account
was caused great amount of discom-
fort. At last my attention was drawn
to Doan's Kidney Pills and 1 procured
box. They cured me and l am
happy to state that have not suffer-
ed from kidney trouble since"

Human Encyclopedia Failed.

IL there is one man in congress who
is supposed to know everything it is
Senator Winthrop Murray Crane of
Massachusetts. He is one of the walk
ing encyclopedias of the Aidrich party
and was the hub of the campaign Of
the allies before the Chicago conven-
ton. Those who have set a heavy
store by Senator Cranes knowledge Of
things and events received a decided
shock recently when the senator
calmly stood in front of the White
House and, gazing across the street

The Shortest Street in London.

There can hardly be shorter street
in London than the one connecting
Pail Mall with the southeastern corner
of St. James square, from which the
name John street. has just been re-
moved. 1t has only one house, which
is No. l.; for though there are two
other doors in the street, one is num-
bered as belonging to Pail Mall and
the other is the side entrance of a
public house. Presumably, therefore,
the single house is now to be absorbed
in st. James square and the London
directory is to lose yet another of the
slowly diminishing number Of John

White House Dinners,

Some one has been going back to
the good old times and comparing the
White House dinners of the days OF
the fathers with those of the present.
The difference is marked, and in favor
of the dinners to-day. A recent White
House dinner took 81 minutes. Your
ancient dinner at the executive man
sion. back in the earlier administra,
tions, began at eight and wound up
after midnight. The tables groaned
and the stomachs of the guests

dishes and fierce liGrors. 1t took a

NEWS OF THE. RAIL
Items of Interest Relative to the
Steel Highways of -,
the State i ... .,sZ.

The Great Northern Railway Com
pany has recently completed the lay
ing of new steel on the lower portion
Of it's Cass Lake line. Two or three
years ago new steel was laid as far
south as Eagle Bend. This season
the work has been completed to the
terminus at Sauk Centre. A large
crew finished this work afew days ago
and has now gone elsewhere. The
new rails are Is pound steel. The
work has been done in first class man
ner and the entire stretch of road be-
tween Sauk Centre and Cass Lake is
now in fine condition..
Jas. J. Hill has just made an impor-
tant move in western railway circles
in order to checkmate the Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Sound people,
whose Pacific coast line was recently
opened to business. September 9th.
Mr.. Hill put on a fast mail train
from St. Paul to Seattle with sche-
dule of 48 hours between the two
terminal cities. This train leaves ST..
Paul at 8 o'clock in the morning,
three hours earlier then the Oriental
Limited, and maintains an average
speed of 80 miles an hour including
stops, the fastest time of any long
distance train thus far run in the
west. This train carries only mail
and express cars and runs via the Will
mar division, as there are fewer
trains in the way than on the Fergus
Falls division. The transcontinental
roads are competing for the mail
carrying contract to the coast and
this fast train of Mr.. Hills is the first
in the field. AS the St. Paul road is
new, Mr.. Hill believes the Great
Northern can make faster time than
can the other. But the Milwaukee
is after the contract and has shorter
line. The Northern Pacific is likely
to enter the contest and than there
will be competition that is bound to
excite general interest.
