MAKE THIS YOURSELF
Saws Many Persons Here
Can Be Made Happy
Again

There is so much Rheumatism here
in our nelghborhood now that the
following advice will be highly appre-
clated by those who suffer-:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandel1on,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
r1lla. Shake these we'll in bottle and
take in teaspoonful~ doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink
plenty of good water.
It is claimed that there are few
victims of this dread and torturous
disease who will fail to find ready re-
lief in this simple homemade mix
ture, and in most cases permanent
cure is the result.
This simple recipe Is said to
strengthen and cleanse the eliminative
tissues of the Kidneys so that they
can filter and strain from the blood
and system the poisons, acids and
waste matter, which cause not only
Rheumatism, but numerous other
diseases Every man or woman here
who feels that their kidneys are not
healthy and active, or who suffers
from any urinary trouble whatever,
should not hesitate to make up this
mixture, as 1T is certain to do much
good, and may save you from much
misery and suffering after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take If our
readers ask them.

LEO MCDONALD Is FOuNI
- GUILTY. OF DESERTlON.

Private Edward L. Mcdonald Of the
Thirty sixth company, coast artillery
corps, stationed at Fort Moultrie,
South Carolina, who was caught in
St. Paul Dec. 10, 1908, and charged
by courtmartial, says the Pioneer
Press. He was sentenced to be dis.
honorably discharged from the service,
to forfeit all nay due him and to be
confined at hard labor for one yeal
at Fort Smelling.
While no one would hardly consider
it q proper thing to desert, this case
brings one fact very much to the fore
in the matter Of securing enlistments.
The recruiting officers at the different
places, to make good, point the life OF
the army and navy man IN most glow
ing terms, and in many cases, accord
ing to some of those who have
enlisted, entirely misrepresent the
conditions as well as to the work the
recruit will be assigned. For instance
Mcdonald enlisted with the belief
that he would !, be assigned to 9
printer work, which trade he had
followed. Instead of this he was put
behind a shovel, and other work Of
this nature was handed him. As long
as these Misrepresentation are made
just so long will assertions bt
numerous. 49, :
While Leo may not have done right
he has many friends here who hao
hoped that he would share better
especially SO, as his mother, wh<
depends to great extent on hi!
support, needs him.

THE SWANVILLE-LONG PRAIRIE
STAGE LINE.

Long Prairie Leader: B. F. Taylor
has sold the Swanvllle mail carrying
contract he has to John E. Withers,
who will take charge of the route on
February 1.
He informs the Leader that he will
arrange to meet all trains at Swan
vile, both winter and summer and
that beginning February l he will
wait for the afternoon passenger train
from Little Falls the same as is done
during the summer months.
This stage line IS the Oldest in this
part of the state. Previous to the
building of the Little Falls and
Dakota branch OF the Northern Pa
citic, the stage line extended from
Long Prairie to Little Falls, a dis
lance Of thirty miles. The road was
much travelled as traffic of all kinds
was east from this territory to the
Mississippi river until the railroad
was built into this region from the
south. The building of the railroads
has shortened the stage route and has
also turned the tide of travel north
and south so that the old line, aside
ii ON its mail conveniences, IS hardly
if ever used now. There have beer
efforts from time to time to have the
route discontinued but every time the
people have rebelled and finally thu
department has assured the public thai
the line will be maintained until the
railroads furnish such service through
the territory as to make the route
entirely unnecessary. Inasmuch as il
is extremely unlikely the railroads
will ever build again east and ives,
through here, the maintenance of tpt
old stage route is indefinite.

CASHED A BIG CHECK IN ST
PAUL.

st. Paul Dispatch: w. A. Miller,
e-president of the First National
bank, is of the opinion that Andy
Jones, the missing cashier of the First
National Bank of Rugby, N. d.,
secured from the st. Paul bank the
money with which he fled.
, About two weeks ago Jones presented
a check for %, 500 to Mr.. Miller. He
was suspicious of Jones. but in
vestigatloh showed that the check was
genuine: It was drawn by a bank at
Long Prairie, this state, on Mime
apolls bank, and was made payable to
Jones. - -.....
Jones was anxious to secure legal
tender for the check, saying he needed
it to make payment in Duluth. He
asked that he be paid in gold. Mr..
Miller suggested that tho bank might
get It's Duluth correspondent to
advance the funds, but Jones finally
concluded that he had better take the
money himself. Consequently, he was
given the amount of the check in $50
and 500 notes.
II remarked that he looked rather
shabby, and as he went out Of doors
noticed that his clothes looked frayed
at the edges; and lnstinctively
concluded that there was something
wrong about him. I expressed this
opinion to Mr.. Nienhaeuser, ou1
cashier. A couple of days later ]
heard that he was missing from
Rugby ~-a- --.-
Mr.. Miller said Jones had been thei1
correspondent at Rugby for the past
two years. Because he was suspicious
of him he never permitted him to
borrow without first class security.

Decatur, November s-(specal.) DIR. r.
NJ. Cunningham of Ensley, former lieu
tenant governor of Alabama, spoke at the
Masonic theatre in New Decatur last
night in favor of the adoption of the pro-
posed prohibition amendment to the state
constitution. There were between 400
and 500 people present, including a few
ladies. A heavy rain fell early in the
evening, which perhaps kept good many
people away from the speaking.
OF the number present in the audience
good many were ants, but the amenders
were in the majority, hence the speech
received a good deal of applause DR..
Cunningham argued against whisky from
medical and scientific standpoint. Aside
from this his remarks and his argument
was along the same lines as that offered
by other amender speakers who have
been stumping the state.
On Thursday night. November %, Capt.
Richmond P. Hobson will speak at the
Masonic theatre in New Decatur in favor
of the amendment.
