cases. Mankato citizens testify to

home was so bad with his back and
kidneys that at times he couldn t
get up. These spells came on every
once in awhile and he could hardly
get around. He knew that his kid
neys were disordered. He had to
get up on account of his kidneys be-
ing so weak Mornings his back
was so lame and painful that it was
hard for him to straighten. All
through the day he complained OF a
dull backache with sharp pains
which kept him in misery. He tried
doctors medicine, but got no relief.
Plasters did no good and it wasn't
until year ago that he got help.
Someone gave him part of a box of
Dcan's Kidney Pills and they went
to the root of the trouble. He got
another box and finding still more
benefit he kept on using them. He
was cured and he hasn't complained
of his back or kidneys for nearly a
year"

Of poison away from Green; and the

in different directions to be sure
that he was not being watched and
then made a hasty departure for

store. Mr.. Osten had seen the sus-
picious actions from the door of the
city hall and being satisfied that
the fellow was up to some mis-
chief he called to Officer Bell who
was in the station and he and Mr..

THE SULzER CASE

THE SULZER CASE
Albany, N.Y., Sept. 23.-Fighting
at the last ditch, the Sulzer lawyers
are bringing their heaviest artillery
to bear on the impeached governors
foes. They have centered their fight
on the sufficiency of the offenses
charged
D. Cady Herrick, who is leading
the argument, declared that he and
his associates have no desire to shield
Sulzer.
"This is a government of laws and
not of men," he said. 'The assem-
bly,, in preferring articles of impeach-
ment, and the court for the trial of
the impeachments so preferred are
both governed by the laws of the
state, and the law of the state is that
public officials can only be impeached
for 'wilful and corrupt misconduct in
office
at is respectfully submitted that
this court should so interpret the law
as to confine impeachable offenses to
'wilful and corrupt misconduct in
public Office and not to extend it
further than it has ever before been
extended in this country or in Eng
land so as to include offenses COM
mitted by private citizen before he
became a public Official
1t is the contention of the Sulzer
lawyers that the assembly cannot try
Sulzer for acts committed before he
was a public official. .

ABE's FOOT COST $50 AND COSTS
PUZZLE-WFiAT DID 1T WEIGH?

Abraham Bass has no business be-
hind the counter of his little butcher
shop at 2816 S. State street. He
ought to be downtown at the packers
banquet.
Because in his own little way he
has a get-rich-quick scheme that
makes Wallingford look like a sailor.
This was his plan: He has string
attached to the lever of the scales
indicator, this ran down to a pedal,
which he operated whenever he threw
a piece of meat on the scales.
Yesterday a woman complained to
Policeman Albright about this. She
was very indignant because she had
to pay for the price of Abe's foot,
which is extremely large.
The policeman went into the store
and found the evidence. In court,
Bass was fined $50 and costs by
Judge Newcomer.
