REPRESENTATIVE Hog Sales.
CHICAGO Horse Market.

Chicago. July 11.-There was a fair
amount of trading in horses, despite
the fact that there was no auction.
Private sales were rather numerous.
and the army inspection was operating
at full blast. Receipts so far this week
have been much lower than a week
ago, and this fact has helped the trade
considerably.
Receipts of horses are estimated at
1929 head, compared with 1891 last
week 1929 a year ago and 2,154 two
years ago.

A Thorough Test

One To Convince the Most Skeptical
Redwood Falls Reader.
The test of time is the test that
counts.
Doan's Kidney Pills have made
their reputation by effective action.
The following case is typical.
Redwood Falls residents should be
convinced.
The testimony is confrmed-the
proof complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ig-
nored.
L. A. Colson, retired farmer, Flynn
ST., Redwood Falls, says: II had a
dull pain in my back for five or six
years. Often it was so bad I couldn'
stoop or straighten without suffering
terribly. The kidney secretions scald-
ed in passage and were so frequent
I had to get up several times at night
I tried almost every kind of kidney
medicine, but nothing helped me un-
til got Doan's Kidney Pills. My kid
neys soon became normal and caused
me no more trouble. The pain was
relieved, too"

TWO DROWNED

While out on a fishing trip to
Bean Lake, between Storden and
westbrook, Monday, Clarence Olson.
son of Hans Olson, living about two
miles out of Storden, and young
man named Francis Peterson Of
Golden, Brown county, were
drowned.
The two left about noon, and went
out to the lake, where they used an
old boat that had been on the lake
for some time They left their ov-
ercoatsl on the bank while fishing,
and the fact that the coats were
there is what allayed suspicion late
in the day when the boys did not
return. It was thought they had left
them there and that the lads were
somewhere in the neighborhood. But
when the evening came on, and then
midnight, and they did not return,
the relatives became frightened that
something serious had happened. As
soon as day break came, parties went
to the lake and a search made. The
overcoats were still on the lake
bank, and out in the lake was fish
pole, but no boat was in sight.
Searchers got out to the fish pole,
and there they found the boat sunk,
and there, also, it was that the
bodies were recovered. 1t appeared
as though the bottom of the boat
had dropped out and let them down.
Olson was a good swimmer, but as
he had on long rubber boots it is
probable that they weighed him
down so much that he was unable to
( swim. Peterson was not swimmer,
and as a result he, too, was drowned
The watch which one of the young
men carried had stopped at 1870
o'clock, and it is thus supposed the
accident occurred at that time.
| The death of the young men casts
a gloom over the community, as both
were splendid young fellows, ana the
shock is hard blow to the parents

as some members Of the General
Staff understood the situation,
through no fault of his own he was
better known both in England and
France than any other United States
army officer when this country en-
tered the war. From this very fact
has risen the difficulty in which the
Administration is placed, and which
also has deprived him Of the soldiers
privilege of being where the activ-
ties are most vital. As the world
knows. General Pershing, in the
Roosevelt administration Lieuten-
and Colonel and suddenly advanced
to Brigadier Generalship, was sent
into Mexico over the head Of General
Funston, and later was sedt to
France, where he was unknown, at
least comparatively so. In the
course Of time Major General Wood
who had been till few months be-
fore his senior in every respect, and
who was known to the British and
French military authorities for what
he had accomplished in the cleaning
up of Cuba, came along on an in
spection duty. Then arose the stu
alton that caused trouble. General
Pershing was consulted officially by
the high officers both of England ana
France, but men like Petain and
members of the British Government
sought out General Wood, and ne
was their guest on numerous occa-
sions at luncheons when his advice
was sought.
So that as the friends of both Gen
eral Pershing and General Wood I'M

Landsborough was as 'stant cashier for three months, at the end of which time he was ap- pointed to the position of cashier Of the home bank.

LandSborough has taken a most active interest in the work of the community and th government. being a member of the Home Council of Defense and being treasurer of the Skagway Red Cross.
 Miss Cook, who has made her home with the LandsbOrough's for the past year, has been the able secretary of the Red Cross and upon her has fallen a reat deal of the routine work.
 MT. and Mrs. Landsborough and Miss Cook have made a host of friends, not only in Skagway, but throughout all of Southeastern AL 9ska and their departure from the citv will be greatly regretted. The Dolly Alakan extends its we'll wishes 70 all of them and wishes only the best of success to them wherever they go.

LOCOMOTIVES IN WEST ID BE
 SENT FAST

Washington, Jan. S.-There is no reason for concern on the part of Western shippers at the report that Western railroads have been asked by the Railroad War Board to holj one hundred locomotives in readiness to be turned over to east ern lines. This is the view taken by c. J. Mcdonald, assistant to William Sproule, chairman of the Western Department of the War Board.
 By Western railroads is meant all roads in that territory west of the Mississippi" explains Me Donald. "The requisition is being made on the basis of the number of locomotives owned by each rail road operating in thNt territory. The number allotted from each indiv, idual line is very small, and they will be kept In service until the acquisition is effective.
 It should be borne in mind that the release of these locomotives to eastern territory is for the pur- D ,se of relieving the congestion which is tying up equipment there that We need out here. So that, the effect will be to make available for the West cars ard equipment that would otherwise remain in the East. The West will not lose anything by such a move if it be- cOmes necessary to make it."

The daily Alaskan., 1918-01-08
COURT HOUSE
 BEING REPAIRED

Acting under the authority of Judge Robert W. Jennings, the in terior of the Skagway court house is heinz completely renovated. All wood work is being vanished, the walls are being calcimined, the car pets are being cleaned, and fur niture is being repaired.
 The Skagway court house was built in the boom days Of the city as college, put was later purchas- e. by the government for court purposes. Since then it has not been repaired, and hence the plas- ter, which has been badly cracked by the wind, Is in rather poor shape.
 The whole interior, downstairs and up, is being repaired. Cracks in the platter are being filled up. All wainscottings, woodwork, desks, chair and benches are being varnish- ed. The main court room will be calcimined in a cream colored wall, light blue drop ceiling, and with stenciling for 8 border. Other rooms are being fitted in various ways. |a a''
 One Of the big Improvements is the placing of a large drum stove in tbe center of the court room where it's heat will radiate equally to all parts. Scaffolding is being built in order to reach the ceiling and make repair there.
 Altogether 10 men are working in the court house, eight of whom are prisoners. The work is immediate ly under the direction of Marshal Hardy and his deputy MT. Miller.
 l. is hoped that the outside of tbp court house will be repaired later or as soon as the weather permits. This matter has already been taken uO by MT. Ramsuson, r. S. Commissioner, with Judge Jennings. il

Tn a special bowling contest held in the Elks building last night the ladies' team completely swamp ed the men in two consecutive games. Although the ladies were givea a handicap of 100 points they won their first game without this. skagway's worthy postmaster was such an efficient rooter for the women that they couldn't help but win, and when his wife pulled him away during the second game the ladies' score immediately fell down as noted. However the women won botk games and the men will have to do some powerful" secret practice before they again chal- lenge the women.
 The score Is as follows:
