Medicine PEDDLER NET
WITH AN ACCIDENT

ASHLEY, Feb. 2S.-As Gottliet
Rempfer, one of the travelling sales
men for the Rawleigh remedies, was
about two miles from home on the
way out for long trip, he met with
an accident that nearly cost him his
life. The closed wagon box used by
the peddlers of remedies, etc., was
upon sleighs and was very heavily
loaded. A bad stretch of road wal
encountered half mile from Henry
Koth's place and NJ Rempfer walked
beside his rig to steady it. Suddenly
1t tipped, pinning Mr.. Rempfer's
head and the upper part Of his body
beneath the rear part of the box.
The weight of the box and its con
tents was so great that Mr.. Rempfer
was unable to free himself and he
fully expected that death was his fate.
After while he became aware of
a cracking sound as of wood burning.
He then understood that the oil stove
he carried in the dri er's department
of the rig had set the box afire and
he than became hopeful that the fire
would lessen the weight above him
and make his escape possible. Such,
indeed was the outcome. BY the time
the fire had spread and burned
enough of the outfit to tighten it so
that the young man was unable to
drag himself out, the fire scorcAed
his coat and trousers and had burned
through the side of the box within
a few inches 4 his head. Mr.. Remp.
fer was so weak from the schock Of
being pounded, face downward into
the hard snow, the nervous excite.
ment and the exhaustion brought on
in his attempts to escape that he with
difficulty made his way to the nearest
house and told what had happened.
He is now a little the worse for his
narrowing experience, aside from bad
ly b'oodshot eyes and bruised face.
The wagon box and contents were
wholly destroyed.

Saved From Dangerous Opera.
tion.Neighbor Advised What
to do for Bladder Trouble

/, too wish to add my testimonial to
the thousands you no doubt have, and
will tell you what your great medicine
did for me.
Several months ago l was taken
very sick with bladder trouble. had
intense pains and suffered greatly
at times could not stand on my feet
or sit in chair and often was forced
to cry out with pain.
I consulted two doctors who gave
me different kinds of medicine, which
did me no good. 1t seemed as though
the more of their medicine took, the
worse became. The doctors seemed
to be greatly puzzled over my case
and after holding q consultation, !
was told that had a severe case of
inflammation of the bladder and an
operation was very necessary.
I was being prepared to be taken to
the hospital, when a neighbor came
to my house and said, "Why don't you
try bottle Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.
Root" I was willing to try anything
to get relief from my suffering. MY
wife bought bottle of your medi.
cine which I began taking and soon
noticed change for the better. l
continued taking it and got better
right along, my APPETITE returned and
was able to resume work.
I have used about fourteen bottles
OF Swamp-Root and know that had ]
not taken it, l would have been oper.
ated on, and perhaps never recovered.
l never fail to tell my friends about
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root as I know
it will save many people from suffer
ing and perhaps, as in my case, a dan.
gerous operation.

500 HAD
GREAT INCREASE

St. Paul Pioneer Press: The Soc
railway up to the present states the
greatest increase in earnings during
1911 of any road that has reported tc
the state tax commission. Its In
crease in 1911. according to the
company's figures amounted to more
than $1,5OO,OO0. In 1911. the road
earned in Minnesota, $7,613,745 IS,
and will pay a tax of 1904, 549.S1.. In
1910 it earned $6,0S3 1882 and paid
tax of $243,338.10.
The Wisconsin Central operated by
the 500, earned 1921, 646.95 in 1911
and will pay tax of $100,065.88. In
1910 it earned 14,40510 and paid a
tax of $12,57620.
While the Northern Pacific railway
will oay a gross earnings tax this
year of more than a half million dol
lars, the amount will be less than 1t
paid last year according to a report
to the commission. In 1911, accord
ing to the company's figures, the
railway earned in Minnesota $14,208..
$3.50, and the tax will be $685.
1896.
In 1910 the road earned $14,433,-
330.89 in Minnesota and paid tax of
$577,333.24.
1t has been believed prior to re-
ceiving the report, that the Northern
Pacific would show an increase in
earnings in 1911 over 1910. The de-
crease will cost the state approx
mately $4,000 in taxes.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

If l could have my way l would like
to have every brewery and distillery
burned to the ground, all for the good
of perishing humanity.
The man who says his prayers and
sings psalms on Sunday, and then
goes out and votes with the brewer,
is no better than the brewer.
Every preacher and church member
who votes the same ticket the brewer
: and saloonkeeper do, Is q hypocrite
and is responsible for the existence
Of the saloon
The church member who sings
psalms on Sunday, and during the
week pays the girls in his department
store starvation wages is hfndrance
to the gospel message.
would like to have picture OF
Daniel in the lions den, or Of the
three Hebrew children in the fiery
furance, but If could have my choice,
1 would have the picture of those four
Hebrew boys, when they drew them

said, 1--WE are teetotalers."
