four years ago while we were visiting
in Colorado that Doan's Kidney Pills
were recommended to us by one OF
our people who had used them with
very good results. One in our home
then used them for the first time and
was much pleased with the speedy
and sure relief they brought from
pains in the back and other kidney
ailments. I, too, have used Doan's
Kidney Pills for backache and know
that they are just fine.',

ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT

equipped with maps, globes, black
boards, drinking fountains and supple
mentary readers. All but one have
free text books and libraries and all
but eight have sanitary heating and
ventilating plants. Most of the schools
use sweeping compounds and I think
all should have it.
AS to the building of school houses
District No. 46 at Kandiyohi would
come first with four-room brick
building with full basement and the
fan system of ventilation. Four
teachers are now employed in this
school and beside the grade work two
years of high school work is being
done. District No. 10 erected mod
ern building with full basement and
installed furnace, District 81 built
an addition and installed a furnace
and District 95 built an addition to the
old building. District IS, better
known as the Svea school, equipped
the school for manual training and
domestic art, this being the only con-
solidated school in the county.
The present school year starts out
with a strong corps of teachers and
as many districts increased the length
of the term, the prospects are bright
for a more successful year than even
the last. 1t can be made so If we all
do our duty.

TWO MURDERS and SUICIDE
Three People Meet Violent Deaths at
Minneapolis.

Minneapolis.
Two murders and suicide was one
days toll of crime in Minneapolis.
A shattered romance ended when a
man killed his wife and took his own
life. A quarrel over a family estate
caused one brother to kill another.
Roy Rodgers of st. Paul went to
Minneapolis 10 effect a reconciliation
with his wife from whom he had been
separated for a month. His mission
failed. He shot and fatally wounded
his wife and then killed himself.
Rodgers was thirty-three years old
and his wife twenty-five years old.
They had been married about two
years.
Andrew Okeson, a Lakota IN. d.
farmer, shot and killed his brother,
Nelson Okeson, in Gustafson & Carl
sons saloon, where the murdered man
was employed as a bartender.
The belief of Andrew Okeson that
his brother owed him money from
their fathers estate in Sweden is
thought to have been responsible for
the shooting.

10 tne board or county Commission
ers and School Patrons:
In submitting to you my annual re-
port, it gives me great pleasure TO
testify to the excellent condition of
the schools Of this county at the pres
ent time. In many respects the year
just past was the best in the history
OF the county. There were more
months of school, better attendance,
greater number of graduates and more
state certificates received than for
any crevious year. This excellent
condition is made possible by we'll
defined policy based on experience and
the hearty cooperation and confidence
Of the teachers and school officers.

nesota Voters.
One million and a half ballots for
the general election Nov. have been
printed.
Secretary of State Schmahl has had
100000 state ballots printed on white
paper and 100000 ballots on pink pa
per, the latter containing the eleven

ton. The ballot containing amend
ments is the longest ever placed be-
fore the voters, according to Mr..
Schmahl -
The pink ballot is twelve and one
half inches long. The white ballot is
eighteen inches in length. This Is
considerably shorter than the white
ballot at the general election of 1912
when the names of the presidential
electors headed the ticket. The white
