Are too great a strain on the

Sam Collard, living at 1907
American St, Bemidji, Mimi,
says: "For some time I suffered
from pains in the small of my back
and a sort of rheumatic stiffness in
my joints. At times my back was
so sore that l was scarcely able to
do my work. A tired, languid
feeling was with me constantly

great deal. tried many remedies
but did not receive any relief un-
til Doan's Kidney Pills were

sUBsCRlPTl0N-..s5.O0 PER ANNUm
FLAG DAY.

As June 18th ushers in the
anniversary of the adoption of the
national flag, the celebrations of
flag day revive history that
should cause the heart of every
American to thrill. The design of
the national flag is a development
that has kept pace with the growth
of the United States, and eptomized
its greatness. The symbols of red
and white stripes recall the thirteen
colonies that made a stand for
political liberty, and the forty-fve
white stars on a blue field typify
the states that have increased the
strength of the Union in the many
years of the republic.
Thus the flag waves as the
emblem of national glory. Its bars
and its stars tell the story of freedom
and growth. 1t has gone before the
star of empire and floats over a
country that offers home and
liberty to the oppressed of all nations,
making welcome every man and
giving an equal chance to all to
share in it's prosperity.
Let US celebrate the birthday of
the flag with patriotic song and
legend and teach the children what
it suggests in the ideals of true citi-
zenship. A loyal patriotism cannot
flower without feeding upon the
honors of the past, and while recit-
ing the victories of war let all
remember that more sublime are the
victories of peace, and that our flag
will never fly more proudly than
when the nation counts it its noblest
ambitions to protect childhood, to
relieve the suffering andt oppressed
and to keep ever before her the
aspirations of the first makers of the
republic.

directors who are showing a DISPOSE

suit instituted by Mis- Clara Taylor,
superintendent of Adams county
against L. w. Rider, director of Dis
trict No. 2, of Nordaway township
The action is to compel this district to
use the text books recently adopted
by the Adams county board of educa'
ton.
State Superintendent Riggs says
that this is the only instance he re.
calls of district refusing to use the
uniform text books adopted by the
county board of education consisting
of the county superintendent, the
county auditor and the members OF
the board of supervisors.
Superintendent Riggs expressed the
opinion that the court would undoubt
eddy compel the objecting directors
to use the uniform books. The suit
Is of especial interest just at this time
because of the recent refusal of a
board of directors in Boone county tC

NEWS DISCHARGED BY COURT.
Judge Holds Defendants Cannot Be
Taken Back to Washington
for Trial.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. l3.-Judge A.
d. Anderson OF the United States
court of this district dismissed the
proceedings, against Delavan smith
and Charles X. Williams, proprietors
of the Indianapolis News, who were
resisting removal to the District OF
Columbia for trial under a grand jury
Indictment charging them with hay-
ing committed criminal libel in pub
fishing articles alleging that there was
a corrupt profit OF SIS, 000, 900 in the
sale OF the Panama canal to the
United States.
That man has read the history OF
our institutions to little purpose"
said Judge Anderson, in concluding
his decision, who does not view with
apprehension the success of such a
proceeding as this to the end that
citizens could be dragged from their
homes to to the District of Columbia,
the seat of government, for trial I'M
der the circumstances of this case.
The defendants are discharged"
At the close OF argument in the
hearing of Messrs. Smith and VIII
liams, Judge Anderson said that he
was too busy with other matters to
write a long opinion in the case,
though it clearly was one of great
public interest and Importance and in
volved several complex questions Of
procedure in the United States courts.
He then Drocpedpd tn sim I'M his view
OF the evidence and the argument.
81 am of the opinion" said Judge An
derson, that the fact that certain
persons were called thieves and
'swindlers does not constitute libel
per Sc. A newspaper has a certain
duty to perform. AS a former presi-
dent had said 1T is the duty of a
newspaper to print the news and to
tell the truth about it. 1t is the duty
of a newspaper to draw differences for
the people"

BANK IS SHORT 100000
VICE PRESIDENT REPORTED
HEAVY LOSER IN MINES.
Worthless Notes Pour In-Widows and
Orphans Hard Hit-Receiver
Is Asked.

Mineral Point, Wis, Oct. ia
more serious aspect has developed in
the First National bank failure here,
1t being reported that the shortage
Instead of 100000 at first estimated,
will run close to 100000. Vice-Presi-
dent Allen is said to have lost heavily
in California and Montana mining in
yestments.
Worthless notes poured into the
bank and widows and orphans were
hard hit as Mr.. Allen acted as admin
istrator of many estates. He was
pillar of the church, Sunday school
superintendent, sometimes occupied
the pulpit and was implicitly trusted.
The value of the securities which he
has turned over to the bank has not
been ascertained, but much western
mining stock in the collection is said
to be worthless. Bank Examiner
Goodhart telegraphed the comptroller
of currency at Washington asking for
the appointment of a receiver for the
bank 1t is expected that the APP
pointment will be made promptly and
that the receiver will take charge of
the bank next Thursday.
Vice-President Aliens alleged mis-
use of bank funds in furthering his
private enterprises is admitted by all
concerned to have brought on the
failure of the bank. Mr. Allen, for
years victim. of palsy, is seriously i'll
at his home, unable to see visitors.
The city is noticeably quiet in the face
OF a calamity which affects a large
proportion of the community. This
bank was regarded as a financial Glib
raltar. So firm was this belief that
when reports of trouble began spread
ing week ago, there was no run on
the bank. Even when news of the
shortage was known to many deposit
tors last Friday only $4,000 was with
drawn. 1t is said that more than this
sum was deposited from other sources.
