MAY RUN ELEVATOR
Reported That Elevator
Here Will be Operated.
500 Road Said to Have Leased
the Plant. Would Mean
Much to City.

1t has been reported here during
the past week that the Omaha Rail-
way company has leased .he Wash
burn elevator property to the 500
road and that this company would
operate the plant full blast the COM
ing fall. Just what there is to the
report cannot be confirmed at this
time but the report has been quite
general and it is said to have come
from a reliable source. 1t is said
that the 500 road would ship grain
here from the harvest fields bv way
of Superior, coming over the Omaha
a part of the way, and the fact that
the 500 road is crowded for elevator
room lends color to the report. The
running of the elevator in this city
would mean much in business way,
as the plant would have a pay roll
of from one to five thousand dollars
per month, besides the large num-
Der of extra trains that would come
to the CITY. 1t the elevator is TO be
operated it will have to undergo a
number of repairs before it will he
in shape.

VIM. Harris a farmer living

Harris does not call himself a
Doctor nor does he attribute
his remarkable power to any
superhuman gift, nor does he
claim that he is the seventh
son of the seventh son. He
simply understands human
ailments and has been re-
markably successful in effect
ing cures. Many residents
of Ashland and some from
this city have visited him and
have received treatment
and what is more i'm
portant, have been cured of
their ailment. He gives
some medicine and is aDle to
make a .diagnolis of a case.
He is like DR.. Till in that he
never takes any fees for his
services. Contributions may
be made by the patient, so
that he cannot be said to be
engaged in the practice OF
medicine. While Mr.. Harris
has been a resident of this
county for several years, it
has not been generally known
that he relieved pain and
cured diseases.

MISS THINNER, SPECIALIST.
Long Years Devoted to the Study
 Removing Superfluous Hair.


 Few specialists have as an asset the long and remarkably successful eX- perience in the removal of superfluous hair from the face. neck and arms that Miss Fenner, in the Connecticut Bank building, enjoys. Over twelve years ago this specialist established her office in Iths building, and it's his tory is a long list of successful opera tions, many of these being accomplish ed in the face of other practitioners defeat. Miss Fenner has studied as siduously to attain the highly degreed perfection with which her methods are credited. The most difficult cases are immediately relieved-that is when the patient is suffering from burns caused by the crude practicing of an incom- petent-and in a short time under the careful attention of Miss Fenner the skin is in it's natural condition. and then by her expert method all hair will be removed. The manner of operation is so sure and so perfect in every way that it is absolutely painless and rest ful of no scars. In no instance is a second treatment necessary. The reader is requested to refer to Miss Fenner's large information card in an- other page of this paper.
