ton there are, according to special
commissions which recently investi.
gated the subject, over 10000 children

Gren in the United States to-day who
will probably die of tuberculosis be-
fore they have reached the age of 1S.

A GREAT BROTHERHOOD.

Fargo had another evidence yester-
day afternoon of the good accomplish
ments Of the Masons. Capt. ]. W.
Scott, a pioneer farmer in this county,
veteran 70 the civil war and former
Mississippi river captain, was laid to
rest under Masonic rights.
The deceased had formerly been in
comfortable circumstances. He was a
man Of considerable education and
varied experience. AS age grew upon
him he met with financial misfortunes.
Bereft Of his family-he was left in
the closing years of life to earn his
own living. He bravely engaged in the
bitter struggle and till the last main
tanned a cheerful spirit and stout
heart. At the age of 33 he did janitor
work rather than be dependent. Dur
ing the last months OF his life he
became so enfeebIed his brother Ma
sons looked after his material wants
to such an extent. as was necessary.
After his death the sturdy old pioneer
was given a fitting funeral under the
rites of the organization of which he
had been a member almost half CEN
tury-and was laid to rest with proper
ceremonies.
The mourners at his grave were men
who belonged to the same great order
and that membership made them his
brother. They exemplifed the teach
ings of the worldwide organization by
carrying out in the fullest spirit the
lessons and principles of the order.
AS much pleasure as Captain Scott
may have derived from the membership
in the Masonic bodies-his chief bene.
fits came In the closing months of &
long and eventful life and in the fina
disposition of all that was earthly o
his worn and tired body.
The event is a striking lesson of tn,
wide usefulness of this great organiza,
tion--its broad charity and it's benef
cent fraternal spirit.

FAREWELL TO JOHNSON.

The eastern editors do not see Gov
ernor Johnson Of Minnesota looming up
so large for the democratic nomination
for the presidency--since Senator
Bailey Of Texas went after the popular
Swede Of the gopher state. Here is the
way 1T appears to the editor of The
Brooklyn Times:
1t seems to be all up with Governor
Johnson of Minnesota. He was very
much In evidence about this time last
year. and there were many democrats
who believed that in his nomination
for the presidency lay the only hope
OF the democratic party. That was
last year. Johnson was not nomi-
mated. and the democratic party de-
cided 1t would be better to be de-
feated with Bryan. according to Gus
tom. than to run the chance of winning
with an untried man. But there were
many democrats who chung to the be-
lief that if Johnson had got the riomf.

When the kidneys are sick they give
unmistakeable warnings that should
not be ignored. BY examining the
urine and treating the kidneys upon
of suffering may be saved. Sick kid
neys expel dark, ill-smelling urine,
full OF brick dust" sediment and pain
full in passage. Sluggish kidneys
cause dull pain In the small of the
back, headaches, dizzy spells, tired,
languid feelings and frequently rheu-
matte twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only; they cure sick kidneys. and
rid the blood Of uric poison. If you
suffer from any OF the above sym
