The Proof That MankatO Readers
Cannot Deny.

What could furnish stronger evi-
dence of the efficiency of any remedy
than the test of time? Thousands of
people testify that Doan's Kidney
Pills cured permanently.
Home endorsement should prove un-
doubtedly the merit of this remedy.
Years ago your friends and neighbors
testified TO the relief they had derived
form the use of Doans Kidney Pills.
They now confirm their testimonials.
They say time has completed the test.

Amputation Was Necessary.

From Thursdays Daily
Charles Melvin of Nicollet county,
suffering from an epileptic fit, was
treated like a man under the influ-
ence of liquor and locked in cell
at the police station as if he were
common drunk, late yesterday aft
ernoOn.
Melvin was attacked by epilepsy
on South Front street, near Jackson,
and was struggling to free himself
from two friends who were trying
to do for him the best they could
under the circumstances. A great
crowd gathered, and some of those
who witnessed the struggle were
under the impression for moment
that Melvin was intoxicated. How
ever. The Free Press is reliably in
formed that the unfortunate man
does not drink liquor of any kind.
Irons Put on His Wrist.
Officer Andengaard reached the
scene and Immediately put irons
on one of Melvin's wrists, and led
him still struggling to the police
station where he was locked up in
cell. On the way to the station
the officer was told that Melvin was
suffering with epilepsy. No physician
was called and no attention paid to
the man after he was locked be-
hind the bars.
During the evening Melvin was re.
leased
Statement of the Officer.
Officer Andengaard stated to The
Free Press today that when he first
looked at Melvin he thought the
man was intoxicated. He was after
ward informed that Melvin was suf
fering with an epileptic fit, to which
he is subject. The officer stated
that there was SO much excitement
the thought did not occur to him
to summon physician. even though
he was aware of the mans real
condition. 81 locked him up because

possible, the Northern Heating and
Electric company transferred to the
Consumers Power company three
lots on which the plant of the local
company stands, between West Third
street and the railroad tracks, also
the property at Finn and st. An
thony avenue, including the machin
cry therein subject to trust deed
of 100000.
This transaction was simply a for

property made. it is said, last August
to the H. NJ. Byllesby company,
which is the controlling power in

The Consumers Power company,

said. is now prepared to go ahead
with work planned several months
ago, and (which includes procuring
of small plants for heating and light
ing in all parts of the state.
One of the improvements prob
ably will be the connection of the
local plant with the water power
rights recently obtained by the Byl-
lesby company at Cannon Falls, Man
kato, Apple River and Blue Earth.
The plant at Blue Earth is about
ready for operation. Surplus power,
when needed, can be sent to White
Bear or South ST. Paul from the
local plant when the connection is
made. according to the plans of the
officers divulged some time ago.
In addition to the sites mentioned.
the company obtained control of
light and heating plants at Stillwa-
ter, South Saltwater, Red Lake
Falls, Grand Forks and East Grand
Forks. On the Red river site, it is
understood, 5000 horse power can be
developed, and with the sites at Blue
Earth and Apple River about 1000
additional horse power will be ready
for use within short time.
A. S. Huey, first vice president of
the Byllesby company, has been in
speeding the plants under construc-
kato, and has returned to Chicago, it
is believed, making the report which
resulted in the final plans for financ-

Following the victory of the rail
roads in Minnesota, the railroads run
ming eastward from Chicago are plan,
ming a united attack in the courts
on the validity of the 2-cent fare
laws in the states of Illinois, Ohio
and Indiana. 1t is their hope that
a legal test will result in as favor
able decisions as have been render
ed by federal judges in western
states where the fare laws have
been contested.
Meeting of Rate Clerks.
A meeting of rate clerks, one fol-
each of the roads represented in
the Central Passenger association
was held in Chicago Monday in the
passenger association rooms in the
Tribune building for the purpose of
preparing and formulating preliml-
nary data regarding the operation
of the fare restricting laws and
their effect on the revenues and mum.
Der of passengers carried. This will
be for the use of the legal authori
ties of the various roads that are
planning the contests. The roads
in the association include those op.
Grating in the territory between the
Mississippi river and the Buffalo
Pittsburg line.
Call Issued to All Roads.
The call for the rate clerks meet
ing was issued on Friday in a circu
lar letter addressed by Chairman F.
c. Donald of the Central Passenger
association to the general passenger
agents of the various member com
panies asking each to appoint a rate
clerk to attend the meeting. The let
ter stated the legal committee, com
posed of attorneys for the various
roads, felt that the data required
for their decision as to the posi-
bility of successful legal contest
could be compiled more satisfactorily
by the rate clerks than by the audi
tors or legal departments.
No definite decision has yet been
reached to bring suits attacking the
laws This will be based on the con
illusions derived from the data pre-
scented, and a settlement of several
questions as to how, when and where
the contest is to be begun will fol.
low.
Make No Secret Of Purpose.
No secret has been made by the
roads, however, of the fact that they
intend to attack the low fare laws
wherever possible. The move of the
Central Passenger association lines
is but part of the general onslaught
of the roads against the 2-cent laws,
which has resulted successfully thus
far in the west in four states in
which decision has been rendered
by federal court. These include
Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and
Minnesota, and litigation is pending
in several other states. The Missouri
case has been argued before the
United States supreme court and
an appeal is planned in the Mime
sofa case.

There Is more Catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J.. Cheney e.
Co.. Toledo, Ohio. is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for

Good Thunder Herald: This sec
ton was visited by severe hail
and rain on Sunday afternoon, com
ing UP quite quickly and making
the many who were out of doors,
run quickly for place of shelter.
Chickens and other fowls, apparently
bewildered and the hail killed
many. No damage to speak of was
done in the village other than the
breaking in of the skylight in the
Keene gallery and the place flooded.
1t being used as a millinery store,
the goods were much damaged, yet
fortunately the stock had been
greatly reduced. The mast of the
water tower was struck by lightning
but no damage done to the tower.
The school picnic and the ball game,
which were in progress, were called
off.
Directly to the west and north of
the village, covering strip about
one mile in width and three miles in
length and traversing practically the
same course as did a similar storm,
July 2, about thirty years ago, the
storm was most terrific and vast
amount of damage was done. The
swift hail broke in many windows,
cut down the growing crops and laid
waste every vestige of growing vege-
tation on few farms.
That the hail did much damage
can be seen in the fact that over
$500 acres were in small grain and
corn in the hail belt and over 1000
acres totally destroyed. Following
the names of the heaviest losers and
the number of acres had in crop:
