him. There were certain people of
Importance who wouldn't stand for
Lee but did not seriously object To
Gordon. That you understand was
in the good old days OF the state con-
vention When he found hecouldn,t

ago ne was figure in politics but
during the past fifteen years he has
been too busy with coupons and
checks TO take much part in public
affairs. Result: He is a real ..has
been Can he come back? Teddy
couldn't and Ted is some conner. too
Youngduhl for Him
Certainly Lee has some backing.
For instance Pete Youngdahl Of the
antl-saloon league and the county
option forces is for him. What this
will get him isn't apparent but it
should get him vote or two. Heis
busy doing what he can to perfect an
organization and in the first blood Of
the contest won lout in Kandiyohi
county. But every gambler knows
the truth of the good beginning
makes poor ending"
Not ea Solomon
Those who know, know that Lee
can be depended upon, that he stays
with his friends, that he is honest
and industrious. No one jumps up
in meeting to assert he is a second
Solomon but then no one says the
voters of Minnesota would nominate
Solomon were he running. No one
says he's Chatham for eloquence
or a Webster for logic but it is said
that he has business ability, that he
knows his own mind and is not easily
bossed.
Doubtless it is regretable that Mr..
Lee has decided to get into this fight.
He was safe with his sons and his
neighbors and there is some salts
faction in being a mute, inglorious
Milton" This he put away from
him, he crossed the Rubicon and the
knives of the enemy are ready for
him.

perfection to be candidate for COVER
nor. If this were necessary several

them would be the rotund Caesar of
Long Prairie. William E. Lee has a
round fat tummie that shakes when
he laughs like a jar full of jelly.
Dignity Enfolds Him
From this touch don't get the no
ton that Mr.. William E. is not SER
ious and d'gnified. No. sir. He's
so dignified that he elbows the lugu-
brious and SO serious that a joke in
lis presence sounds like blasphemy.

the others things required by the
law but over all is thick mantle of

has right to. It's serious bust
ness to attempt to beat out a bunch
like the governor and Gordon and
Spooner and Ed. Young. A man
who voluntarily goes into scrap of
that sort can't have very high
sense of humor.
eH Good Banker
Billy Lee has been busy for a good
many years gathering in the cur

that he has done thisgathering bust
ness with thoroughness and strict
attention to the job. incidentally
he's a banker and hasn't as vet been
obliged to shake down his friends to
get the wherewithalI to travel about.
Also the Long Prairie people say he
has been good banker, which isn't
necessarily contradiction in terms.
They say he has been generous and
thoughtful and considerate as long
as the interest was kept paid and the
securities were good. All Of which
goes to prove that if elected COVER

not be depleted.

Belview and Echo base ball teams
crossed bats. The battery for
Echo was Maus and Sommerfeld; for
Belview, Steele and Monsoon. The
umpire was Fl. Fish. BelvieW won
by score of 3 to 0. About $40 was
realized as gate receipts. Imme-

the Belyiew Basket Ball girls played
with the plucky Wood Lake girls,

Belview has thus far met.

able Scores of Citizens Prove 1t

After reading the public statement
OF this representative citizen of Red
wood Falls given below, you must
come to this conclusion: A remedy
which cured years ago, which has
kept the kidneys in good health since,
can be relied upon to perform the
same work in other cases. Read this:
Mrs. A. P. Selleck, Wyoming ST.,
Redwood Falls, Mimi. says: Last
spring ] noticed that my kidneys
were not doing their work properly.
The kidney secretions were unnatural
and as time passed the difficulties be-
came worse. Hearing about Doan's
Kidney Pills, got a box at drug
store and their use was followed by
gratifying results. I strongly re-
commend this remedy to my friends
and acquaintance. Statement
given on September IL, 1907.
THE BENEFIT LASTED
Mrs. Selleck was interviewed on
September Is, 1910 and she said: Il
have had no further need Of a kid
ney medicine. You may continue to
refer to me as a strong endorser of
this medicine.

Many otherwise beautiful women
have been neglected by nature with
q lack Of glossy. lustrous, dark Eye
broWs; MANY Blondes Of True Morse
mantype with beautiful eyes cannot
show them off to an advantage
through lack or dark, i.heavy, lust
rous eyebrows.
To meet universal and popular
demand among the fair sex we have
after much experimenting produced
compound termed ''DABRO" con-
sisting Of harmless Organic Sub
stances, Essential Oils, Balsams, ETC.,
yielding by our process stiff emul-
sion which will stimulate growth of
the eyebrows and.darken them to the
desired shade.
Harmful Eyebrow Pencils
Should be discarded as they only
tend to envelope your. hair with a
film of greasy matter, preventing ac-
cess of fresh air and thus to your
.detriment serve the opposite purpose
for which you had intended them
namely, identifying yourself.
A more modern, absolutely harm
less, hygienic and effective medium
| is
"DABRO"
1t will not only stimulate growth
of your Eyebrows and darken them
if too light, but will produce luster
and glossiness not duplicated by any
other means. We guarantee that
DabrL will do what we claim for it
if used as directed or we will cheer
fully refund your money.
Dabro will be sent in plain wrap
per to any address in the u. S. upon
