Boost the Booster

We want to call the attention of
our readers TO the man who does
things. BY using the term ''the
man who does things" We do not
mean one particular man but every
man who is continually working for
the best interests of the city.
Boosters are absolutely necessary
for the upbuild;nE of a city and, in
our opinion, boosters should be
boosted. Why tear down some
thing OF public nature which will
be beneficial to the entire commun
ity which few men are exerting
every effort to build up?
We cannot all DO bosses neither
can we ali have large sums of mon
ey with which to do things, but we
can we'll boost the booster, the man
who does things.
Without capital no city was ever
built and without the same capital
no home was ever made comfortable
and pleasant.
Washburn is a well governed city,
and its many resources, should rot
be hsmpered by q few who "don t
care as to the city's progress.
Again we say, boost the booster.
Shun the knocker because he is
working against your own interests.

A Nice Dwelling

H. q. Mertens has let the con-
tract to b. W. Carson for the re-
pair of the Simenson residence
which was recently moved from the
location on The hill to the lots on
Washington avenue and 4th street.
Last fall new cement foundation
was placed under the building and
the work now to be done includes
the outside and inside repairs which
will include many changes and new
improvements. Two new porches
are to be built and the building will
be sided. New floors will be put in
and the partitions changed. The
house will be heated from a not
water plant and fire place. The
place when completed will be one of
the finest residences in the city and
will be q credit to Washington
avenue.

Hvpnotic Triumph.

A doctor related the following story:
81 had a patient who was very ill and
who ought to have gone to warmer
climate, but whose means were INSULT
cient, SO / resolved to try what hyp-
notism would do for him. l had a
large sun painted on the ceiling of his
room and by suggestion induced him
to think it was the sun which would
cure him. The ruse succeeded, and
he was getting better rapidly when
one day on my arrival found he was
dead"
"Did 1t fail, after all, then?' asked
the doctors hearers.
"No," replied the doctor; che died of
sunstroke. Circle Magazine.

disorded kidneys and was unable to
control the kidney secretions,
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at
the City Drug Store, were used in
this case and the results were graft
flying. This remedy effected COM
plete cure and at that time I gave
public statement in its favor. I can
