LAME BACK FEELS FINE
Just a Few Doses Regulate the Kid
neys Ending Bladder Misery

Usually sufferers from backache
bladder trouble or out of order kid
neys feel relieved after several doses
OF Pape's Diuretic.
Misery in the back, sides, or loins
sick headache, inhamed or swollen
eyelids, nervousness, rheumatism
and darling pains, heart palpitation
dizziness, sleeplessness, listless, worn
out feeling, and other symptoms Of
inactive, sluggish kidneys simply van
ish.
Uncomfortable urination ESPECIALLY
at night smarting, discolored water
and all bladder misery ends.
Feeling miserable and worried is
needless because this unusual prepa-
ration goes at once to the out of or
der kidneys and bladder distributing
its cleansing, healing and vitalizing
influence directly upon the organs
and glands affected, and completes
the cure before you realize it. The
moment you suspect any Kidney or
Urinary arrangement, or feel rheu-
matte pains begin taking this harm
less medicine with the knowledge that
there is no other remedy, at any
price, made anywhere else in the
world, which will effect so thorough
and prompt a cure as a fifty cent
treatment of Pape's Diuretic which
any druggist can supply
Your physician, pharmacist, banker
or any mercantile agency will tell you
that Pape, Thompson & Pape of Gin
cinnati, is a large and responsible
medicine concern, thoroughly worthy
of your confidence.
Only curative results can come
from taking Pape's Diuretic and few
days treatment will make any one feel
fine
Accept only Pape's Diuretic-tifty-
cent treatment-from any drug store
anywhere in the world.

HILL URGES BETTER FARMING
Must Increase Yield to Support Corr

Omaha, Neb, Dec. f0.-"Give us a
system of farming in the United
States which shall greatly increase
the productiveness of the soil" ad
vised James J. Hill in an address be.
fore the National Corn Exposition
here.
Mr.. Hill warned the congress that
the time is not far distant when the
farms as titled at present will not
feed the people of the country.
I'VE have to transform growing
decline in value and productivity of
our soil under continued cultivation
into a rapid increase in both he
said. IF the crisis can be seen NOV
ing upon us now, and if it took Great
Britain over half a century to raise
her wheat yield from about fifteen
bushels to thirty-two bushels per
acre, we have no time to lose
All that is needed to turn an I'M
pending deficit into a surplus to sup
port in plenty $50 or more persons to
the square mile in the United States
is the use instead of the abuse of the
SOIL the practice of that knowledge
which agricultural schools and expert

HOUSE BURNED
Unoccupied DeIling Owned by Mrs.
Robert Hill Destroyed

Fire destroyed the house of Mrs.
Robert Hill located on the north end
of the east road between II and II o.
clock Friday night The house had
been unoccupied for some time and
the fire had gained considerable
Roadway before being discovered.
Several of the neighbors assembled
but the house burned to the ground
despite their efforts.
The origin of the fire is not known.
A stove had been in use in the house
during the day as men were at work
making repairs. 1t is thought that a
spark from this may have caused the
blaze.
The dwelling was a two story farm
house of good size and was in good
repair. The loss is variously estima-
ted at between $500 and $4,000, Be
sides the house quantity of furnit-
ure was also burned.

VERDICT AGAINST
AMERICAN ICE
COMP ANY
Guilty of Restricting COMPETE
ton and Attempted Monopoly
FINE OF $4,000 IS IMPOSED
Counsel Intimates That Finding
Marks First Step in Dissolution
Of Corporation

New York. Dec. 1.-THE American
Ice company was found guilty yester-
day in the state Supreme Court of
restricting competition and attempt
ing to create a monopoly of ice bust
ness. The jury was out one hour and
forty minutes. The court immediate
ly imposed the maximum sentence of
$4,000 fine, under the provision of the
Donnelly anti-monopoly law of this
state.
A formal motion to set aside the
verdict as not justified by the evil
dence and a request for certificate
of reasonable doubt, were both re-
fused but Justice Wheeler granted a
motion for a stay of execution, pend
ing the preparation of an appeal.
The significance of the verdict lies
not so much in the relatively trivial
amount of the fine imposed, as in the
intimation made by John b. Stanch-
field of counsel for the defense, that
a finding against the company, which
he said, supplies 100000 consumers
would mark the first step in its ulti-
mate dissolution.
The American Ice company, though
tried under the laws of New York,
was incorporated under the laws of
New Jersey for $40000,000. and later
taken over by the American Ice Sc
curities company Of the same state,
after a drastic reorganization. The
company has plants in New YORK
Washington, d. c., Baltimore and
Philadelphia, and has absorbed many
smaller companies along the Hudson
river and in the Maine ice fields. It's
activity has been bitterly but unsuc-
cessfully fought by the Independent
producers and retailers wherever ii
operates. Before Wesley M. Oler
was elected president of the company
Charles w. Morse the convicted
banker was active in its affairs.

in Terrific Storm
ACCIDENT THURSDAY NIGHT

Potr Arthur, Ontario, Dec. 1l.-By
the sinking of fdredge No. s, owned
by The Great Lakes Dredging Com
pany, near Mutton Island. in Thunder
Bay, Thursday night six men lost
their lives. They are: John Frad-

Donald, Waterman, Port Arthur, On
tario; j. Phalen. fireman, Port Ar
thur; John Wilson, Sarnia, Ontario;
Cameron Cook, Port Arthur; A.
Smith, deckhand.
The disaster was caused by the ice
cutting holes in the hull of the dredge
which was being towed into Port
Arthur.
Eight of the fourteen men on board
were able to jump onto the scow
alongside, but the others who en-
deavOred to save some of their be-
longings after the dredge started to
sink, were unable to get aboard The
dredge was in tow of the tug Inez,
and it sank so quickly that the tow
line had to be cut with an ak to save
the tug from being hauled down.
telegram reached here Friday
night directed to the chief of police
stating that Mr. Fradenburg was
drowned AS soon as Mr.. Brazzel re-
ceived the dispatch he notified Frank
Fradenburg, who is a brother of the
deceased The dispatch was sent by
the Postal Telegraph company and
hxr
which accounts for its delay in reach
ing here. No details OF the accident
We're given and it is not known
whether or not the body was recover
ed.
The accident occurred near Port
Arthur, Ontario, on Lake Superior
Mr.. Fradenburg had been in the en-
ploy of the Great Lakes Dredging
company for some time. He was an
engineer and had a good paying posi-
ton at that line of work. The COM
pany was in the employ of the Cana
dian government.
Mr.. Fradenburg was born in this
town about So years ago, being a son
of George and Charlotte Fradenburg
He was for many years employed as
tiE nlFEl ny Nnt AOOpSi MiS. 70.
Later he went west and travelled ex-
tensively before settling down in
Port Arthur, His last visit TO this
town was in the winter of 1908 He
was well known here and had large
number of friends who are shocked
TO learn of his sudden death.
He is survived by one son, one sis
ter, Mrs Henry Allard and two broth
ers, Frank Fradenburg of this town
and Lyon Fradenburg of Amsterdam,
n. Y.
States Attorney W. J. Meagher
learned this morning by telephone
that the body of Mr.. Fradenburg had
not been recovered to date. 1t is
feared that it will not be found as
the accident happened some distance
from the shore and the lake will
probably freeze over before the bod
les are washed ashore
Ii the body is recovered it will
probably be brought here for the fun
eral and burial
