Women Need SWamp-Root

Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never sus- pect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness, are often times symptoms of kidney trouble.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physi- cian's prescription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get medium or large size bottle immediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghanlton, N. Y., for sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention this paper.

 The prisoner answered for himself.
 T am Henri d'Ogeron, and this is my sister,"
 "D'Ogeron?" Captain Blood stared. Are you related by chance to my good friend the Governor of Tortu- ga?"
 ''He is my father"
 Levasseur swung aside with an im- precation. In Captain Blood, amaze- ment for the moment quenched every other emotion.
 'The saints preserve us now! Are youquite mad. Levasseur? First you molest the Dutch, who are our friends; next you take prisoners two persons that are French, your own countrymen; and now, bedad. they're no less than the children of the Gov ernor of Tortuga, which is the one safe place of shelter that we enjoy in these islands. ."
 Lcvasseur broke in angrily:
 Must I tell you again that 1t Is a matter personal to me?"
 And the twenty thousand pieces of eight? Is that also matter personal to you?"
 Tt is."
 Now don't agree with you at all" Captain Blood sat down on the cask that Levasseur had lately occupied, | and looked up blandly. You have fixed their ransom at twenty thousand pieces of eight.

 ''Ho. ho!" laughed Leyasseur un- pleasantly. Then added; 'If you dis- like my conduct we can dissolve the association"
 That is my intention. But we'll dissolve 1t when and in the manner that choose. and that will be as soon as you have satisfied the articles under which we sailed upon this cruise"
 What do you menn?"
 "I'li be as Short as can." said Captain Blood. "I'll accept the situa- ton as I find it. Yourself you've fixed the ransom of this couple at twenty thousand pieces. and. as l gather. the lady Is to be your per-

Your ransom is fied at twenty thousand pieces Of eight, and you shall have liberty on parole to go to Tortuga to collect 1t. I shall pro- vide the means to convey you thithet. and you shall have a month in which to come and go. Meanwhile, your sister remains with me as n hostage. Your father should not consider such sum excessive as the price of his sons liberty and to provide dowry for his daughter"
 You are foolish if you refuse" Levasseur spoke without anger. His fingers had been shusy tying knots in a length of whipcord. He held 1t up a moment. You know this? It is capable of screwing the eyes out of mans head by way of helping him ' to see reason"
 He flung the length of knotted cord to one of the negroes. who in an in- stant made 1t fast about the prisoners brows. Then between cord and cranium the black inserted a short length of metal. round and slender as eyes toward Levasseur, awaiting the Captains signal.

 And for what, if you please, have you said twenty thousand pieces of eight?"
 In execrable French, but in voice that was crisp and pleasant, that ques- tion floated over their heads.
 Startled, Levasseur and his officers looked up and round.
 On the crest of the dunes behind them they beheld tall, lean figure scrupulously dressed in black with silver lace. crimson ostrich plume curled about the broad brim of his hat affordins the only touch of color. Under that hat was the tawny face of Captain Blood.

A SUCKER" STUNT

The champion "get rich quick"
scheme was attempted in the city last
Wednesday. Three fellows who hated
to earn their way in the world via the
work route stopped at the Press office
and pleaded in vain with the editor
for his approval to allow them to sell
advertising space to the business men
in Boyceville at 81 per inch when our
regular rate ranged only from Is to
25 cents per column inch. We turned
them down cold. They said they were
out to educate people to buy at
home" Their statement should be al
tered to read "they were out to make
people bite at home" Seemingly, tor
pid weather makes a sucker move
slow and they were out to round them
up with Ford car. A campaign,
such as they suggested for Boyceville,
would have cost our business men at
least 5000. They wanted half of it
for an hour or two spent in soliciting
and peddling lot of hot air. In a
thriving town but few miles away,
their cussed scheme worked. The
paper lies before us as we write. We
wonder how the editor feels about it
after he had sufficient time to ponder
over the slick way he got skinned.
And sixteen business men took a
"skinning" with him for good meas
ure. We'd hate to have one of our
merchants charge us thirty dollars
for pair of shoes, but at that he'd
only playing the same game as
they pulled at our neighboring town
when they soaked the business men
81 per inch for advertising space that
can be purchased any day in the year
for Is cents. Some day we might get
''horned" by slick solicitor, but you
can rest assured we're not going to
allow him to fleece the whole darn
town --Boyceville Press.

BILLY AND BETTY "AT HOME"

~ The new pens for "Billy" and "Bet-
ty," the Glen Park cub bears, was
completed this week and the little
black 'uns are now "at home" in their
new domicile.
The pen floor and rear walls are of
concrete, and at the rear are indivi-
dual caves, six feet deep, four feet
wide and four feet high, for each cub.
In the front portion of the pen each
cub is provided with bath tub, shap
ed into the floor. Two tree trunks,
with husky branch stubs, are installed
for the bears to climb. The whole pen
is enclosed with wire netting, attach
ed to stout posts.
Mr.. Buck informs US that the bears
will hibernate in the winter, and it is
expected that each cub will make its
own winter bed in the built-in caves.
Leaves and twigs will be thrown into
the pen, and, it is prophesied, the GIBBS
will carry the leaves into the caves
and build warm nests, all but sealing
up the entrances to keep out the cold.
The cubs are now free to play to-
gether, and they seem to enjoy this
comparative freedom immensely, but
should they abuse the privilege by
showing an ugly disposition toward
each other, wire netting will be strung
through the center of the pen to keep
them apart.
They are but six months old now,
and are growing fast. Billy" who
takes life easiest, is considerably
heavier!than sister Betty" who has
nervous disposition and is always on
the go. They weigh about 80 and 100
pounds, respectively.
Work will now be commenced on
the portion of the Park which is to be
devoted to the deer recently purchas-
ed by the Rod and Gun Club, and
which are all ready for shipment from
Bayfield, county as soon as their area
is fenced off.

Public School Will
Open Sept. 4 or IL

The rumor to the effect that the
River Falls Public Schools were to
open Aug. Is is i'll founded, and mem
bers of the Board wish it understood
that the schools will not open until
after the first of September, probably
on the fourth.
There is a question as to the exact
date, whether it would be advisable
to open the fourth during to Minneso-
ia state fair week, or delay until the
18th or 18th, which would bring the
close of school, with its commence
ment activities, coincident with those
of the Normal school.
These matters will be decided at
a meeting Of the Board next Tuesday,
and definite announcement will be
made directly after that session.
Jacobson & Jacobson, the contrac-
tors who built the model high school
at Owatonna, Mimi, have been here
to look over the local school PROPOSE
ton, and, with other contractors, will
have suggestions and estimates to
submit when the matter of building
or remodeling has progressed to a
more definite point.
