people testify that Doan's Kidney
Pills cure permanently.

undoubtedly the merit of this rem

neighbors testified to the relief they

Kidney Pills. They now confirm
their testimonials. They say time
has completed the test.
Sidney Gilman, 80 Main street,
Skowhegan, Me-, says: Several years
ago l used Doan's Kidney Pills with
such satisfactory results that l gave
public statement. regarding the
benefit l had received. l have since
had occasion to take this remedy
when suffering from a lame back and
am glad to say that | have received
prompt relief. / procured Doan's
Kidney Pills at Sampson & Azores

they had in the car to keep the dogs
separated. Ike came over but Mr..
Reynolds concluded to stay and en-
terrain the millionaires. Shortly af-
ter. second Indian showed up, and
stringing our wire all round the den
80 the fox could not get out the men
began to dig. They soon got quite a
hole started. Then they concluded
to try to smoke him out.
They started fire, and covered
1t with green boughs In such a way
that a great deal of the smoke went
Into the den. In about fifteen min
utes | was startled by shout and
looking round beheld the fox In the
air as he made a leap to get over the
wire. We had strung it pretty high
and he landed against 1t. He vas
flung right back under likes feet and
Ike lay right down on him before he
could get away and grabbed him
around the neck. Was there In a
second and with the help of one OF
the Indians we had him tied up and
muzzled In no time. Perhaps those
Indians weren't surprised when they
saw what | had Asked them Ii
they thought there were any more In
the den, but they shook their heads.
II got q long slender sapling and
showed 1t into the den with no re-
suits. Then | started another brush
fire and waited. In less than five
minutes there was great sneezing
and snuffing close to the mouth of the
den and | kicked the brush away just
as a couple of cubs crawled out into
the air. Ike and | pounced on them
and one of the Indians drew off his
jumper, tied strings around the end
of the sleeves and we slipped a cub
into each, holding them In such a
way that they had plenty of air.
Then | had to bargain with the
men to help get the foxes to the train
and got stung for fifteen dollars.
Didn't want to send Ike for men as
did not want to stay alone with the
Indians They could make it mighty
interesting for me if they had a mind
to try to get away with the foxes,
SO | had to pay them what they asked.
But say! Wasn't that an excited
crowd when | let the foxes loose in
the baggage car? Had to take the
dogs out and string the wire around
the sides and ends so the old fox
couldn't gnaw out or go through a
window.
AT breakfast the next morning.
before | finished my grub, two of the
sports began to decker for the foxes.
Now | wanted to sell them but | put
up a good bluff and soon had them
bidding against each other. When the
price rose to 500 for the fox and $500
each for the cubs began to think
[ had reached the bottom, but | pre-
tended not to consider that price for
moment.
when | arose from the table
had an even thousand offered for the
fox and $500 for each cub and
closed the deal. The sport made out
the check for $4,000 and said he was
satisfied. He told me he owned a
small island In the St. Lawrence
where he had his summer home and
he would enclose 1t in such way
that the foxes could not get away"

Body of Ferdinand Bleck, ST.
Found in Spokane River.

To q certain extent the mystery sur.
rounding the disappearance of Ferdi-
nand Bleck. Sr. about five weeks ago
in Spokane, Wash. has been cleared
up. Word was received here last
Tuesday by his son that the body of
his father had been found in the
Spokane River. Opinions are divided
as to whether he met with foul play or
whether he sought death in fit of
dependency. He was buried the day
after his body had been recovered.
Mr.. Bleck was we'll and favorably
known here, having resided in our
city for upwards of twenty years.
About six years ago he removed with
his family to Spokane, Wash. This
was the second time he went to Spo-
kane, having been q resident of that
city in the sos. He IS survived by his
wife and three children, one of whom,
Block, Jr., resides here.
Mrs. August Pullman and Mrs.
Charles Block are sisters Of the de-
ceased.

College Concert.

The Sunday evening concert at the
Lutheran Church given by the male
and mixed choir Of Dr.. Martin Luther
College was 4. grand &ucces; at the
same time it was the best attended coh-
cert for every seat of the capacious
church was filled. Soon after the
doors we're opened the people began to
stream in and any one who was tsrdy
had no choice of seats. ....
The Christmas spirit pervaded the
whole program. 1t is a difficult mat
ter to make selection and to pro-
nounce the rendition of one number
superior to that of another, because the
leader, Professor F. Reuter-, and the
choirs strove to please and they accom-
plished their aim. The distinct enun-
citation and the fine shading of tone ex-
preston must be heard to be apprecia-
ted. furthermore, if it is taken into
consideration that the members of the
choirs are not, artists but steudents who
devote only a limited portion of their
course of study to music and that some
of them have been members since last
September oply, the most critical must
be satisfied.
The mixed choir deserves unstinted
praise for No. entitled" Sel'ge Stunde";
the two original compositions of Prof.
Reuter-, I'm Bethlehem" and, "For
God So Loved the World" showed
q master in musical composition and
Prof. Reuters pipe
organ ework was exquisite in it's per-
lection.

Sleepy Eye was advised by the War
Department that the remains of his
son who died in the Philippine Islands
from the effects OF an appendicitis
operation had been shipped December
10th enroute to the United States on
the Transport Sherman. Senator
Knute Nelson who had been appealed
to interceded with the Department on
beha lf of the relatives and succeeded
in having an order promulgated for
the immediate shipment of the remains.
In the communication Mr.. Yates is
informed that this action of the De-
partment is an exceptional one. Our
senior Senator is therefore entitled to
great credit for his efforts which met
with success. The running time of
tranports is usually between -25 and 30
days and the body should reach San
Francisco not later than January 10th.
After their arrival in San Francisco
the remains will be taken charge Of
by the relatives who will have the body
brought home at once.

AN UNUSUAL XMAS GIFT
"Lovan Dolores Delivered at
the Home of Ferdinand
SAnnwald

It is nothing unusual to hear rap
at your rear door not much later than
seven O'Clock in the evening, and Mrs.
Ferdinand Ssnnwald thought il
nothing strange to hear such rap
about that hour Friday evening.
When she opened the door she saw
dark figure disappearing toward the
alley and on the door. step lay ,
bundle. She Immediately took it into
the house and upon investigation she
found it to be q tiny baby girl
wrapped in a blanket and done I'D in
a neat package, fully as neat as the
picture packages we see being de-
livered by Father Stork himself. A
note attached to the bundle disclosed
the information that the child was
born Oct. Oath and had been baptized
by Lutheran minister Dec. l1th and
that the wee baby girls name was
Lavon Dolores. The little mite
carried with her q complete wardrobe
OF the lingerie and fineries that miss
OF her age is expected to have who
intends to make stay not only for q
few days, but for long time. In this
case the little one proved q very vel
come visitor, indeed. Six or seven
people having heard Of the finding of
the little babe have already offered to
give her . home and adopt her if this
could be done, but Mrs. Ssnnwald
would not think of parting with the
child. She considers the baby her
Christmas gift and will love and
cherish it as long as its mother will
allow her to keep It. The whole affair
is shrouded in mystery and no ono
seems to know anything about tho
identity of the mother Of the BAH.
