St. Paul, Jan. The Switchmen's

promised letter from Chairman H. B.
Perham, in which the latter is expect

Gals in Washington.
President F. T. Hawley said that
until it should arrive no move would

According to published reports of
Perham's conference it was barren of
results as far as the switchmen were
concerned, but he wired Mr.. Hawley
that the published reports were err

fully by mail.
Reports to the effect that the ma

A. T. Twesme on account of matters
growing out of the campaign of 1908.
Probably Senator Stephenson would
not have said so much, but the per-
sistency and insinuations of the attor-
ney for the plaintiff finally stirred him
up and brought from him what he
said was the real reason why Senator
La Toilette and his progressive" sup
porters switched. away from him.
From Senator Stephenson's testi-
mony, given at times with evident re-
luctance, it appeared that after he had
been asked to "sweeten" the campaign
pot by $25O,OOO the demand was low
cred to $4,000 and finally the La Fol-
lette men were glad to take two
checks for $1,000 each.

BRIGHT / OUTLOOK ] FOR
BUSINESS IN 1910
Conditions as Seen by Dun's
Review Of Trade.

New York, Jan. 10.-R. G. Dun 8
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Not in a half decade has a year
opened with the business outlook so
generally suspicious as the year 1910.
Some of the perplexing issues which
contributed to the crisis of 1907 still
remain unsolved, while the question of
high prices has become more acute,
but 1t would seem as if business con-
fidence was not going to permit these
things to interfere with the further
progress of industry and commerce.
The optimism which usually prevails
at this season is this time, apparently,
we'll supported by the facts of the
economic situation. In the great iron
and steel trade, which is so basic, this
spirit of optimism is particularly con-
sricuous.
Conditions are not so pronouncedly
strong in some other departments, but
with favorable agricultural conditions
and with no event-political or other
wise-to impair the confidence of
business men in the credit structure,
there seems to be no reason to doubt
good year.

It is not claimed by even the most
rabid insurgents that the defeat of the
speaker necessarily endangers his job
during the present congress. It shows
that the insurgents now have tenta-
tive hold on the balance of power and
that by combining with the Democrats
they can come pretty near defeating
the speaker any time they want to.

80 YEARS OF SUCCESS
The Barker's Drug Store offers a
Remedy for Catsrrh. The medi'
cine Costs Nothing if 1t Fails.

When a medicine effects a sue
cessful treatment in very large
majority of cases, and when we
offer that medicine on our own
personal guarantee that it will cost
the user nothing if it does not
completely relieve catarrh, it is
only reasonable that people should
believe us, or at least put our
claim to practical test when we
take all the risk. These are facts
which we want the people to
substantiate. We want them 10
try Rexall Mucu- Tone, a medicine
prepared from prescription of
physician with whom catarrh was
especially, and who has a record
of thirdly years of enviable success
to his record.
We receive more good reports
about Rexall Mucu-Tone than we
do of all other catarrh remedies
sold in our store, and if more
people only knew what a thor
oughly dependable remedp Rexall
Mucu-Tone is, it would be the
only catarrh remedy we would
have any demand for.
Rexall Mucu-T Tone is quickly
absorbed and by its therapeutic
effect tends to disinfect and
cleanse the entire mucous mem
braneous tract, to destroy and
remove the paraites which injure
the membraneous tissues, to
soothe the irritation and heal the
soreness, stop the mucous dis
charge, build up strong, healthy
tissue and relieve the blood and
system of diseased matter. Its
influence is toward stimulating the
muco cells, aiding digestion and
improving nutrition until the
whole body vibrates with healthy
activity. In comparatively short
time it brings. about noticeable
gain in weight, strength, good
color and feeling of buoyancy.
We urge you to try Rexall
Mncu- Tone, beginning a treat
ment today. At any time you are
not satisfied, simply come and tell
US, and we will quickly return
your money without question or

SUBsCRIPTlOK---s5.OO Per YEAR IN ADVANCE
NINTH DISTRICT ENTITLED TO RECOGNl.
TON,

The Crookston Times, in a recent
issue, takes a firm stand for the re-
cognition of the North half of the
State by the Republican party. Its
warning is both timely and good and
should be needed by the party.
1t says:
The Republicans of the state of
of Minnesota should n o t ignore
the Ninth Congressional district.
1t would appear that this district
is entitled to at least one state
office. At the present time no state
officer is serving who resides north of
St. Cloud, and if our memory serves
US right, no state officer was ever
elected who resided this side of ST..
Cloud.
In the candidacy of A. Kaiser of
Bagley, for state treasurer, the Re-
publican party has an opportunity
to gain a great deal of strength
in this section of the state. There
has been too much political log
rolling" in the past for the good of
the party in this state. Mr.. Kaiser
in the past has never sought and
has never held an office of any kind.
He has always devoted his energies
to securing the election of Re-
publican friends who were candi-
dates for Office.
1t is such men who are entitled
to recognition. The Times is not
half hearted in its support of Mr..
Kaiser as the logical candidate for
state treasurer. He has been a life
long Republican, has been loyal and
a hardworking member of the past,
has never sought recognition and is
not now doing so, but was brought
forward by his friends as strong
candidate and there is no question
but what he is the strongest man,
and has the largest following of any
man yet mentioned for the office of
state treasurer.
He would carry the Ninth dis.
trict solid and in addition has very
strong backing in the southern part
of the state, where he has many rela-
tives and friends.
with a record which is absolutely
above reproach, with ability, expert
ence and many other points in his
favor, Mr.. Kaiser is the logical can
dldate for a state office from North
ern Minnesota, and the people in
this district should unite in giving
him their most hearty support.
Though not resident of Crooks
ton, the people of this city will with
out doubt do all in their power to
further the candidacy of Mr.. Kaiser
for State Treasurer"

Against Federal Statute.

Against Federal Statute.
st. Paul, Jan. 10.-Opposition to the
federal corporation tax is taking con-
crete form and results are predicted
by corporation interests of the city.
The efforts of those opposed to the
tax will be confined to securing an
amendment which will do away with
the publicity features of the law. The
attempt to obtain the amendment will
be made at this congress and it is
hoped. to have it in time to protect the
records which will be turned into the
government next March.
It is also planned to bring the mat
ter to the attention of the courts and
an attempt will be made to prove the
law unconstitutional. Opinions by sew
eral lawyers are that the law will be
thrown out by the court. That will
take year or more for action. No
suit can be brought until the govern
ment starts to collect the tax.

GETS FINE PRESENT..

The following from the Watertown
Public Opinion shows how f. c. Olson,
p. oprietor of the Model line of cloth
ing stores, appreciates the good work
of his employees. Mr.. Olson is par
ticularly fortunate in gathering about
him the most competent help and this
is true of all his stores, and perhaps
the secret is in the generous treat
ment he accords his men. The Public
Opinion says:
"The latter part of last week H. ID.
MacCosham, manager of Olson Bros.
& MacCosham's Model clothing store
in this city, was called to Brookings,
presumably to confer with his bust
ness partner in regard to business
matters.
after talking business for a short
while, Mac was invited by his bust
ness partner to take a little spin in
a new E. NJ. F. automobile which
he had just purchased. After a short
ride he was asked what he thought of
the machine, and on his expressing his
approval of the same he was notified
that, as the day was the third ami
versary of the opening of the Model
store in Watertown, during which time
he had been most successful in build
ing up a thriving Business, the ma
chine had been purchased for him as
a mark of appreciation and esteem OF
his partner. Mac drove the Gar
home and is very proud Of his new
possession"
