Ways of the Lower Spirit World.

Ways of the Lower Spirit World.
Intellectual believers in spiritualism
and there are more such than is usu-
ally supposed-are inclined to disclaim
the average table tipping manifesto
tons. Having penetrated the veil and
found enough to justify their faith in
spirits, they look upon these modern
demonstrations Of calling up certain OF
the departed to talk with friends as at
least trivial if not sacrilegious from
the point of view of true spiritualism.
To the unconvinced the doings of
many mediums seen and heard Of late
are worse than trivial. The departed
do not talk and act themselves when
they come back to reveal themselves,
rather suggest the clever master of a
few tricks. who plays down to the low
est of his auditors. Ancients speak in
schoolboy idioms, and musicians show
too plainly that music is lost art in
the spirit world. When spirits can do
things we'll worth the while of gods

Poor Congress!

Congressman will be likely to think
they earn that salary increase if they
do the work expected of them this ses.
sion. They have to deal with practi-
cally untried executive, one who. un-
like his predecessor, seems inclined to
accommodate his policies to conditions
rather than to theories.
And the conditions may be said to be
especially acute. Prosperity has been
promised and is expected. Trusts are
blamed for the most that is unfavora-
bic, and unless congress curbs them it
will be hammered for it's failure. Pros
perity is said to depend upon trust ac-
tivities, and if the activities they con-
troll are put out of business by federal
enactment congress will be hammered
for it's success. There must always be
a scapegoat, and the blame for what
the laws do or fail to do is ultimately
put up to the makers of the laws.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Princeton People Should Learn to Detect
the Approach of Kidney Disease.

Princeton People Should Learn to Detect
the Approach of Kidney Disease.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
SO unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys
e1crete a thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, full of sediment, irregular of
passage or attended by a sensation of
scalding. The back aches constantly,
headaches and dizzy spells may occur
and the victim is often weighed down
by feeling of languor and fatigue.
Neglect these warnings and there is
danger of dropsy, Bright's disease,
or diabetes. Any one of these
symptoms is warning enough to begin
treating the kidneys at once. Delay
often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Prince
ton proof:
William j. Apologize, Princeton,
MIMI, says: ''Whi]e serving in the
army, I contracted a severe case of
kidney trouble. My back was very
weak and panied me almost constant
~. The kidney secretions were too
frequent in passage and on this
account l was obliged to arise many
times during the night. The secretions
we're also highly colored and at times
contained a sediment. Doan's
Kidney Pills we're finally brought to
my attention and I procured box.
I was very much pleased with the re-
suits that followed their use and out
of gratitude I give them my highest
endorsement.

Peddlers' Law Uncons titutional.

Peddlers' Law Unconstitutional.
Peddlers in Minnesota need pay no
license fee to the state. In decision
fled on Friday the supreme court
affirmed the decision Of Judge Snow
of Winona declaring the peddlers'
license law, passed at the last session
of the legislature, unconstitutional.
The peddlers' license bill defined
"hawkers, peddlers and transient
merchants,' and provided for the
payment of fees ranging from $50, in
cases where two horses were used 'by
the peddler, to $40 in cases where
push carts were used or the peddler
conducted his business by means of a
basket. Transient merchants we're to
pay a fee Of $3.50. The license fees
were to be paid directly to the state.
The act did not apply to cities of more
than $4,000 population.
The supreme court holds the law
unconstitutional IN that it is a tax
measure which does not fall uni
formly and evenly on all peddlers,
and that it is unconstitutional as a
police regulation, being class legisla-
ton.
julius A. Schmahl, secretary of state,
says that little more than $4,000
has been paid into the state treasury
under the peddlers' license law. This
money cannot be refunded, however,
except by act of the legislature.

a Bandit Shot and Killed.


A yeggman, recognized as Swan
Johnson OF Henning, was instantly
killed and Deputy Sheriff Andrew
johnson of Beltrami county severely
wounded in bloody battle fought
near Bemidji on Friday morning be-
tween 3 and o'clock. Word was re-
ceived at Bemidji from Puposky, II
miles distant, that safe had been
blown and that the robbers had stolen
a railroad bicycle and were headed
in that direction.
Patrolman Benner, Sheriff Hazen
and Deputy johnson rushed to the
Great Northern overland bridge, one
mile west of Bemidji, and waited for
the robbers. Two men came down the
track on the speeder within 200 feet of
the bridge. They dismounted and
walked directly toward Hazen and
johnson, Benner being concealed at
the north end of the bridge, 500 yards
away. When the men were within ten
feet Of Johnson he commanded them
to halt. BE was answered by shot
from one OF the men, who carried a
big caliber rifle, the ball striking him
near the left shoulder and passing
through his lungs, coming out below
the shoulder. The other man shot at
Hazen, barely missing his head.
Deputy Johnson fell to the ground
and Immediately became unconscious.
Benner yelled to Hasen and Johnson
to lay low and began shooting at the
robbers. It was dark and foggy and
Benner could scarcely see anything
but shadows. The men started back
up the track. On the fourth shot
from Benner's rife, one of them
pitched headforemost off the grade
and never moved. Benner continued
shooting at the other man but he was
300 yards away and made his escape
in the darkness. The body of the
dead robber was examined and it was
found that Benner had put a bullet
through his head, the ball coming out
OF the eye, death resulting instantly.
johnson was taken to a Bemidji
hospital and it is expected that he
will recover from his injuries.
A posse secured the country but no
trace of the bandit who escaped could
be found and the search was abau-
doned.
