WHY SO WEAK?
Kidney Troubles May Be Sapping Your
Life Away; Mankato People Have
Learned This Fact,


When a healthy man or woman be-
gins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languid, de-
pressed, suffers backache, headache,
dizzy spells and urinary disorders,
look to the kidneys for the cause of it
all. Keep the kidneys well and they
will keep you well: Doan's Kidney
Pills cure sick kidneys and keep them
well. Here is Nlankato testimony to
prove it.
Mrs. Jane Williamson, 4lS South
Fourth street, Mankato, Mimi, says:
"The public statement l gave in favor
of Doan's Kidney Pills nearly two
years ago still holds good, for I think
just as highly of this remedy as
did then. A dull ache in my back, to-
gether with dizzy spells and headaches
made me weak and nervous and re-
sisted all my efforts for relief until l
used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
at John c, Thro's drug store. The
great benefit l derived from this prep
aration convinced me of its merits and
as | have been in good health since
then, my opinion of this remedy has
been strengthened"

The cutting of spring wheat be-
gan today in several parts of the
county. This crop is ripening fast,
and the early sown grain is ready
for the harvester. In two weeks the
entire crop will have been garnered.
Barley has been stacked in some
places, and the cutting of oats is
about through with. This is prob
ably the earliest date on which
spring wheat has been cut.
Some people familiar with the sit
uation are predicting an average
wheat crop for Blue Earth county
of ten bushels to the acre, but it
seems to others that this figure is
too low, and that it ought to be
twelve bushels. Yields OF twenty
and twenty-five bushels to the acre

staggered.
Over stated that he could not iden-
tify Brown as the man who struck
him.
Said He Never Was Arrested.
Brown testified that lie was never
arrested before but once, and that
was fifteen years ago. He was ar
rested then for driving over a drunk
en- man i'm the street at carnival,
but it was found to have been an
accident and he was released. He
had never struck anyone before and
was not looking for someone to
strike the evening of the trouble. He
had no recollection of having seen
Over before or of having struck
him.
Officer Budde, who made the ar
rest, said that Brown was yelling
like an Indian and was pretty drunk
and staggered, at eleven o'clock thai
night.
Judge Addressed Brown.
Judge COmstock addressed Brown
and said that the latter had no
doubt struck Over, and if it was
true that he did not know that he
did it, it showed Brown to be much
more dangerous man than if he had
known what he was doing. Sooner or
later he might kill another, or be
killed. 1t was a very serious thing
for one man to assault another with
out reason. 1t was an indication of
a brute character that might lead to
any kind of a crime. Some good
citizens had interceded on Browns
behalf, but he saw no reason for ex-
ercising any particular leniency i'm
the case. 1t you'd be an injustice

him to pay a fine, and especially to
let some other man pay it for him.
Brown Answers Questions.
Answering questions of the court,
Brown said that he had been in Man
kato four months, having come from
Chicago. He is thirty years old, and
had never been south. He had fol-
lowed two lines of work, one being
around horses and the other in Turk
ish baths.
The court sentenced Brown to thir-
ty days at hard labor in the county

st. Paul, July 14.-The supreme
court this morning handed down a
decision in which it reaffirms it's
previous opinion that the Creamery

Mankato is an unreasonable" combi-
nation in restraint of trade within

cisions.
The company manufactures ma
chimes for use in diaries, and it was
one of the allegations i'm the COM
plant filed that one of the clauses
in the contracts generally used pro-
hibited it's customers from using ma
chimes made by other firms.
In the district court the company
was declared combination in re-
straint of trade and the supreme
court affirmed that decision. The COM
pany recently secured a new trial.
The Creamery Package company's
legal representative in Mankato is
Attorney Benjamin Taylor, but he is
absent from the city. John Robb, the
local manager, had nothing to say
relative to the decision, when in
terviewed by The Free Press. He
said that the factory has been in
operation during all the period of
litigation and would continue so un-
til he has orders to the contrary.
An effort was made by the Com
ymercial club during the recent ses-
sion of the legislature to secure the
passage of remedial legislation that
would permit the company to operate
it's factory without any further liti-

The school board election was very
quiet today, without any contests ex-
cept in the first precinct. In that pre-
cinct another candidate entered the
lists this morning, L. T. Jefferson,
making a five cornered fight. The
other candidates are Charles A. Bish-
man, the retiring member, Adolph
Deebach, J. E. Regain and ]. D..
Duane.
A very light vote was cast in the
other three precincts. Mrs. Smith in
the fourth and DR.. w. A. Beach in
the third had no opposition, and in
the second there were no tickets,
and up to about noon no votes had
been cast. 1t was thought that Mr..
Scherer, the retiring member, would
be reelected without opposition.
The polls will close at five o'clock
this afternoon. 1t is likely that
special meeting of the school board
will be called for next Wednesday
evening, to canvass the returns.
Mr.. Jefferson did not have any
tickets printed, SO it was looked up
on by the voters of the first precinct
that he was out of the race. Messrs.
Regain and Duane are doing the most
active work, and early this afternoon
ia votes had been cast, with the
voters coming in faster than this
forenoon.
